db999 Cricket Betting — Bet on All Major Tournaments in T20, ODI and Test
BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup and international series — db999's cricket section offers betting markets across all formats. Options range from match winner and toss to top batsman and live betting.
Cricket's Three Formats and Popular Tournaments
To understand cricket betting, it helps to know the difference between formats. T20 is the fastest format — each team plays 20 overs, so an entire match can be watched in an afternoon. BPL and IPL are both T20 competitions, featuring local and international players together. These two tournaments generate the most interest among cricket fans in Bangladesh.
ODI, or One Day International, gives each team 50 overs. The ICC Cricket World Cup is played in this format, making it significant worldwide. Bangladesh Tigers' ODI performances are always a talking point among fans here. Test cricket is the longest format, lasting up to five days. Betting markets are at their widest in Tests because each session of play has its own momentum. db999's cricket section also covers the T20 World Cup and other ICC tournaments.
Betting on Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, db999 also offers football betting. In football, three outcomes are possible within 90 minutes — a win for either side or a draw — so the market structure differs somewhat from cricket. In T20 or ODI cricket there is no draw (a tie goes to a Super Over), meaning bet outcomes are limited to two. Football features popular markets such as goal count, handicap and corners, while cricket leans toward run, wicket and over-based markets.
For those interested in casino games beyond cricket, db999 Casino has live baccarat, roulette and a range of other games. Sports betting and casino gaming are two distinct experiences — in sports betting you predict the outcome of a specific event, while each round of a casino game stands on its own. It is worth understanding that difference before playing.
Popular Betting Markets and Examples
Cricket betting covers several types of markets, each with its own characteristics. Here is a brief overview of seven popular markets.
| Market | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Match Winner | Pick which team will win the match. | In a T20 match between Team A and Team B — back whichever side you think will win. |
| Toss Winner | Predict which team will win the coin toss at the start of the match. | Team A or Team B — the chances are roughly equal, so odds are usually close. |
| Top Batsman | Among the batters in a specific team, predict who will score the most runs. | Pick any batter from Team A — whoever scores the highest is the winner. |
| Total Runs Over/Under | Decide whether the total runs in the match will be above or below a set number. | In a T20, will total runs be over or under 320 — pick whichever you think is more likely. |
| First Wicket to Fall | Predict at what score the first wicket will fall in the innings. | You can bet on whether Team A's opening partnership will be broken before 20 runs are scored. |
| Multi Bet | Combine predictions from multiple matches; the odds multiply together, but one wrong selection loses the whole bet. | Combining three separate matches with odds of 1.60 × 1.70 × 1.80 gives approximately 4.90; a ৳100 stake returns ৳490 if all three come in. |
| Series Winner | Predict which team will win a multi-match series overall. | Team A or Team B in a five-match ODI series — results are counted across the full series. |
How to Read Odds and Calculate Returns
Cricket betting odds are displayed in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same probability, just written differently. The two examples below make this clear.
Example 1 — Underdog's Odds
You are betting on Team A to win, with a stake of ৳1,000.
If Team A wins, your total return is ৳2,250 — made up of ৳1,250 profit and your ৳1,000 original stake. If Team A loses, the ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite's Odds
You are betting on Team B to win, with a stake of ৳1,000.
If Team B wins, your total return is ৳1,800 — made up of ৳800 profit and your ৳1,000 original stake. In American format, the minus sign means you need to stake that amount to make ৳100 profit.
The db999 betting platform normally displays decimal format, but you can choose your preferred format in the settings. For more detail on betting, see the sports betting guide on the db999 Bet page.
Live In-Play Betting — Bet While the Match Is On
LIVE Live in-play betting lets you place bets after a match has already started. In cricket this is particularly engaging because every over and every wicket can shift the situation in an instant.
Say a team is in trouble at the 15th over of a T20, having lost 6 wickets — at that moment the opposition's odds drop sharply while the struggling team's odds rise. This is how live market odds keep changing throughout the match.
In live betting, decisions need to be made quickly because odds change second by second. A high run rate in the powerplay moves the highest-total market, and a mid-innings wicket can shift run-line odds dramatically. In Test matches, pitch conditions and weather also affect live odds.
Remember — betting is for entertainment. Bet within a set budget in line with the responsible gaming policy.
Some Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Start with one format
T20, ODI and Test each have different markets. If you are new to betting, focus on one format first and move to the others gradually.
Set your budget in advance
Decide how much you will stake on each match before you start. If you lose on one match, it is better not to try to recover it on the next.
Be careful with multi bets
Multi bets offer bigger odds, but one wrong selection means losing the entire bet. Start with small amounts on multi bets to get a feel for them.
Act quickly in live betting
Odds move fast in in-play markets. If you see odds you like, make your decision without delay — they can change within moments.
Try different markets
Rather than sticking only to match winner, explore markets like toss, top batsman or total runs — variety adds more to the betting experience.
Betting is entertainment, not investment
Cricket betting is for enjoyment — treating it as a reliable source of income is likely to lead to disappointment. Approach it with the right mindset.
