Cricket Betting at gt 999 — BPL, IPL and T20 World Cup Sports Experience
Cricket is the most passionate sport in Bangladesh. gt 999 offers betting on T20, ODI, and Test matches as well as major tournaments around the world. From Match Winner to Top Batsman — pick the market you prefer.
Three Cricket Formats and Major Competitions
Each format has its own pace and strategy. Understanding the format before betting matters — because the same market works differently depending on the format.
T20
A match of just 20 overs — results can shift suddenly in this fast format. BPL and IPL are both played in this format, which draws the most interest from Bangladeshi fans. Excitement around the Tigers in the T20 World Cup also runs high.
ODI
Strategy matters more in a 50-over match. Mid-game changes, batting order, and use of the powerplay directly affect the odds. The ICC World Cup and Asia Cup are both played in this format.
Test
With a draw being a possible outcome in this five-day format, you can bet on three separate results — Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw. Pitch behaviour and weather can significantly shift the odds.
Football and Other Sports Betting
Football is also hugely popular in Bangladesh alongside cricket — especially around European leagues and the FIFA World Cup. The key difference in football betting is that a 90-minute match has far more in-play markets, such as who will score next or at what minute a goal will be scored.
In cricket the pace of a match shifts by overs and wickets, while in football a goal or red card can flip the entire market in a moment. Sports like tennis, badminton, or kabaddi have fewer markets by comparison, but in-play betting remains interesting because the odds change with every point.
The cricket markets on gt 999's sports section are the most detailed — because the platform is built with Bangladeshi bettors in mind. You can find more information about sports betting at gt 999 Bet.
7 Popular Betting Markets with Examples
Knowing what you can bet on in each market makes it easier to decide. Below is a brief introduction to seven markets, each with one straightforward example.
Match Winner
The simplest market — pick which team will win the match. Two outcomes in T20 and ODI (win or loss), three in Test (win, loss, or draw).
Example: Team A vs Team B — if you pick Team A and they win, you get paid.Toss Winner
This market has nothing to do with the match result — you simply bet on which team will win the toss. The odds are close to even because both sides have roughly the same chance.
Example: Team A wins the toss — if correct you get paid, if not your stake is lost.Top Batsman
Pick which batter will score the most runs in a specific innings. Odds are generally higher because there are many competing players.
Example: Pick the highest run-scorer in Team B's innings.Total Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the total runs scored will be above (over) or below (under) a set number — no need to pick a winner, just the total run count.
Example: Combined runs from both teams will exceed 320 — select Over.Multi Bet
Multiple matches or markets are combined into one bet. If all selections are correct the odds multiply for a larger return, but if one loses the entire bet is lost.
Example: Three matches with odds of 1.50, 1.60 and 1.70 — combined 4.08; win all three and ৳100 returns ৳408.Man of the Match
Pick in advance who will receive the best player award at the end of the match. Odds are higher due to many possible candidates, and so is the potential return.
Example: An all-rounder from Team A who performs well with both bat and ball is a popular pick.Handicap Betting
A run or wicket advantage is given to the weaker team to level the gap between the two sides. Only the bet outcome changes based on the handicap — the actual match score stays the same. For example, if Team B is given a 20-run handicap, those 20 runs are added to the actual score when calculating the result.
Decimal, Fractional and American Odds
The odds for the same match can be displayed in three formats. The table below shows how all three formats convey the same information — only the way they are written differs.
| Format | Team A (Underdog) | Team B (Favourite) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | 1.25 |
| Fractional | 2/1 | 1/4 |
| American | +200 | -400 |
Example 1 — Underdog (Team A): A ৳500 bet returns a total of ৳1,500 if you win (৳1,000 profit + ৳500 original stake). If you lose, ৳500 is gone. Decimal odds of 3.00 mean three taka back for every taka staked.
Example 2 — Favourite (Team B): A ৳500 bet returns a total of ৳625 if you win (৳125 profit). American odds of −400 mean you need to stake ৳400 to win ৳100.

Higher odds mean a larger potential return — but also a lower chance of winning. Lower odds mean a higher probability but a smaller return. Betting is for entertainment, not a way to earn income.
In-Play Betting — Odds Shift with Every Wicket and Over
Live or in-play betting lets you place bets in real time while the match is in progress. There is much less time to decide than in pre-match betting because the odds update with every ball.
In cricket, when a wicket falls the batting team's odds rise immediately (meaning their chance of winning has dropped). Conversely, after a string of boundaries or a big powerplay over, the batting team's odds come down. The biggest swings in odds are seen in the final five overs when the result is still uncertain.
Watching a BPL night match in Dhaka while doing live betting is an experience many find uniquely enjoyable. Keep in mind though that the pressure to decide quickly makes it easy to go beyond your budget — so set a limit for yourself beforehand.
On a wicket: The batting team's odds rise and the bowling team's odds fall.
On a big over: The batting team's odds fall when many runs are scored.
In the death overs: Odds fluctuate the most when the margin is small.
With few overs left: The closer the target, the more stable the odds become.
Tips for Staying Level-Headed in Cricket Betting
Set Your Budget Beforehand
Decide how much you are willing to spend before each session. Going beyond that limit means betting is no longer entertainment.
Choose Markets That Suit the Format
Total Runs markets tend to work well in T20, while Draw or Top Batsman markets are more relevant in Test matches.
Do Not Spread Across Too Many Markets in One Match
Betting on many markets in the same match increases risk. Focusing on fewer markets keeps your decisions clearer.
Do Not Rush in Live Betting
In-play odds change fast, but take a moment before each bet. Placing a large bet in a hurry raises the risk of a costly mistake.
Be Careful with Multi Bets
Adding three selections raises the odds, but one wrong pick means losing the entire bet. Start with fewer selections in a multi bet.
Bet Responsibly
Betting is one form of entertainment, not a financial solution. Read the Responsible Gaming Guide to understand your own limits.
