Cricket's three formats and popular competitions

One of the biggest draws of cricket betting is that the sport is played across three distinct formats — and the way you bet changes with each one. T20 matches are fast and the result can stay uncertain right to the last ball, making live betting the most popular here. ODI matches offer more scope for statistical analysis over fifty overs, while the five-day Test format creates a different kind of market suited to more strategic bettors.

For fans in Bangladesh, BPL means a chance to follow their own teams directly. The tournament features local and overseas stars together, which makes its markets quite competitive. IPL creates its own annual event every year — from March to May, many Bangladeshi bettors focus closely on IPL matches. Bangladesh Tigers matches in the ICC T20 World Cup and other international series also draw particular attention.

At 899 bet, match-by-match markets are available for these competitions, with odds updating before and during each match.

7 popular betting markets that get the most action

Cricket betting is not limited to just picking who wins the match. There are markets covering many different angles, and each one offers its own path to winning.

Match Winner

A straight bet on which team will win. In T20 there is no draw — it is either team A or team B.

Most popular

Toss Winner

A bet on which team will win the coin toss before the match starts. The outcome is decided with equal probability.

Simple market

Top Batsman

A bet on which player within a specific team will score the most runs. Knowing the batting order makes analysing this market easier.

Performance market

Total Runs Over/Under

A bet on whether the total runs scored in an innings or across the full match will go above or below a set number.

Runs market

Top Bowler

A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets. Whether it is a pacer or a spinner often depends on the pitch and weather conditions.

Bowling market

First 6 Overs Runs

A bet on how many runs will be scored during the powerplay. In T20 this market is particularly lively.

Powerplay

Multi Bet (multiple selections)

Several matches or markets can be combined into a single bet. If all selections are correct, the odds multiply to give a larger return — but if even one is wrong, the entire bet is lost. For example, if three selections have decimal odds of 1.40, 1.70 and 1.80, the combined odds are 1.40 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.28 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳428 — but all three selections must be correct; if any one of them is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.

Highest return potential

A simple guide to odds — three formats

Cricket betting odds can be written in three different ways — decimal, fractional and American. They look different but represent the same return. At 899 bet, decimal odds are most commonly used and are the easiest to understand.

Example 1 — Near-even market (team A to win)

Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125. A ৳500 bet returns ৳1,125 in total if team A wins — that includes ৳625 profit plus the original ৳500 stake. If team A loses, the ৳500 is lost.

Example 2 — Favourite market (team B to win)

Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400. In American odds, a minus figure shows how much you need to bet to make ৳100 profit. A ৳500 bet returns ৳625 — profit of only ৳125, because team B is the favourite.

All three formats represent the same return; only the presentation differs. With decimal odds, simply multiply by your stake to get the total return — it is the most straightforward calculation.

Live In-Play Betting — odds change with every ball

Live in-play betting is one of the most engaging aspects of cricket. As the match progresses, odds update instantly after every wicket, every six, or at the end of a powerplay.

Say team A scores 60 runs in the first 6 overs without losing a wicket — their odds to win will naturally shorten (meaning they become the favourite). Conversely, if team B loses 2 wickets in the first 3 overs, team A's odds will shorten further and team B's odds will lengthen.

In this fast-moving environment, decisions need to be made quickly. The 899 bet in-play interface shows the current score and updated odds together, which helps when placing bets.

  • When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds lengthen — an immediate market opportunity opens up.
  • Odds move fastest in the last five overs — this is the most active period in T20.
  • In-play markets have a window for placing bets — quick decisions are essential.

Betting on football and other sports — key differences

Alongside cricket, 899 bet also offers betting on football and other sports. Football markets work a little differently — a draw is a valid result, so the match winner market has three options (team A wins, team B wins, or draw). In T20 or ODI cricket there is generally no draw, so the market calculations differ.

In Test cricket a draw is possible, so three options may also apply there. This is similar to football, but the pace of play and the type of analysis involved are entirely different. Football offers markets like assists, number of corners, or cards, while cricket has over-by-over runs, wickets, or partnership markets.

Even if cricket is your main interest, you can add variety with other sports. 899 bet also has exclusive games like Monster Fight that offer a different kind of entertainment.

Cricket vs Football — key differences

  • Draw: not possible in T20/ODI; possible in football and Test cricket
  • Live pace: ball by ball in cricket; goal by goal in football
  • Market types: runs/wickets-based in cricket, goals/corners-based in football
  • Duration: T20 three hours; Test up to five days

Some practical tips before you start betting

Cricket betting is a form of entertainment. Treating it as a source of income is the wrong approach — it is better viewed as a leisure activity. Keeping a few basic things in mind will make the experience better:

  • Set a budget: Before each session, decide how much you are comfortable spending. Do not go beyond that limit.
  • Learn one market first: For beginners, it is better to get comfortable with just the match winner market before moving on to more complex ones.
  • Be careful with multi bets: Combining multiple selections raises the potential return, but also the risk — one wrong pick means losing the entire bet.
  • Use the app: The 899 bet Android and iOS app is available through official channels. Live betting is more convenient on mobile.
  • Know the rules: Read the terms and conditions before you start betting — understanding bonus requirements and withdrawal policies is important.
  • Take breaks: Stepping away during a long session is a healthy habit. Avoid making decisions when you are tired.

Cricket betting frequently asked questions

T20 is the most popular format among bettors in Bangladesh because matches finish within three hours and the live in-play markets move fast. ODI matches are also a favourite since the fifty-over format gives more room for statistical analysis. Test matches can swing in many directions over five days, so there are more markets available — but they require patience.

No, not all markets stay open at all times. Depending on how the match is moving, some markets may close temporarily — for example, odds need a moment to recalculate between deliveries or after a wicket falls, and betting may pause during that time. That is why quick decisions matter in live betting.

Decimal odds show the total return including the stake — for example, 2.25 means a ৳500 bet returns ৳1,125. American odds come in two forms: a plus (+) sign shows profit on a ৳100 bet, while a minus (−) sign shows how much you need to bet to make ৳100 profit. For example, +125 means a ৳500 bet earns ৳625 profit; −400 means a ৳400 bet earns ৳100 profit. All three formats represent the same return, just displayed differently.

Since BPL is a T20 format tournament, the standard markets are available: match winner, top batsman, top bowler, total runs over/under, and toss winner. International matches may offer slightly more markets because they attract a larger global audience. That said, BPL's local following gives its markets a special appeal among Bangladeshi bettors.

Yes, you can generally combine selections from different sports in a multi bet — for example, a match winner from a cricket match and a match winner from a football match can go into the same bet. The combined odds multiply together. However, if any single selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost, so adding more selections increases the risk proportionally.
