Cricket Betting at c99 — Analyse Odds for BPL, IPL and International Matches
If you want to follow Bangladesh's most popular sport more closely, c99's sports betting section is the place to start. You can bet across multiple markets in all three formats — T20, ODI and Test — and with the live in-play option odds update as the match is in progress. Registered members aged 21 and over can take part.
Cricket's three formats and the tournaments Bangladeshis follow most
The way you bet differs by format — it helps to understand the difference.
T20 is the most popular format among Bangladeshi fans. The BPL becomes the centre of conversation across Dhaka and the rest of the country every season. Every over matters in this format, so odds change quickly. Many bettors check information such as the bowling team's economy rate or a batsman's strike rate before placing a bet.
In ODI cricket the fifty-over game gives you more time to read the situation by tracking total runs and wickets. Demand for ODI betting peaks during competitions like the ICC World Cup or Asia Cup.
Test cricket is a five-day contest. This format offers specialist markets such as match winner, draw, or top wicket-taker within an innings. Interest in this format has grown as the Tigers' Test performances have improved in recent years.
IPL, the T20 World Cup and bilateral series are also covered at c99. Football, kabaddi and other sports are available on the platform too, but cricket offers the most markets and live odds update the fastest.
The difference in betting between cricket, football and other sports
Each sport has its own pace — and the betting structure reflects that.
Cricket
All three formats offer multiple markets including match winner, toss, top batsman and total runs per over. Odds shift immediately after a wicket falls or at an innings break. The number of markets is highest during the BPL season.
Football
Match winner, handicap and total goals are the popular bets in a 90-minute game. A draw is a possible result in football, which makes it different from cricket (T20 or ODI) where markets have only two outcomes. In-play odds change faster in football than in cricket.
Other sports
Sports like kabaddi, tennis or badminton generally have fewer markets. For these sports it is best to focus on straightforward match winner or set-by-set markets. Cricket and football lead in terms of market variety.
Popular betting markets and how they work
Each market has its own features — get to know them before choosing.
Match winner and toss betting
In the match winner market you pick the team you want. There is no draw in T20 or ODI, so you are choosing between two options. Toss betting is entirely separate — it is about who wins the toss, not the match result. Many people find toss betting appealing because the result is immediate.
Multi-bet and over/under markets
In the over/under market there is a set line for total runs — the bet is whether the two teams will score above or below that line combined. In a multi-bet, results from several matches are combined, which increases the potential return but means you lose the entire bet if any one selection is wrong. See the c99 Bet page for more details on multi-bets.
Top batsman
This market is about which batsman will score the most runs in an innings. You need to judge how well the team's openers or middle-order batsmen are currently in form.
Special marketsPowerplay market
The number of runs scored during the first powerplay overs in T20 and ODI can be a separate betting market. The opening pace bowling of the fielding team and the records of the opening batsmen are relevant here.
Special oversTop wicket-taker
This market is about which bowler will take the most wickets in the match. Pitch conditions, weather and the bowler's recent form all influence the decision.
Bowling marketsTotal wickets market
A line is set for the total number of wickets to fall across the full match (both innings combined). Batting-friendly pitches generally produce fewer wickets; bowling-friendly pitches produce more — worth keeping in mind.
Combined marketsTournament winner
You can bet on which team will win a series or tournament before it begins. Odds are higher on this long-term bet because the outcome is uncertain. This market is popular for the BPL and the T20 World Cup.
Long-term betsHow to read odds — understanding three formats with examples
Decimal, fractional and American — the same price written three different ways.
Odds on a betting site can appear in three formats. The numbers look different but represent the same price.
| Format | Team A price | Team B (favourite) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.25 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 1/4 |
| American | +125 | -400 |
Example 1 — Team A wins, stake ৳500:
Decimal odds 2.25 = fractional 5/4 = American +125. If you win, total return is ৳1,125 — that is ৳625 profit plus your ৳500 stake back. If you lose, ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite Team B wins, stake ৳500:
Decimal 1.25 = fractional 1/4 = American -400 (minus odds mean how much you need to stake to win ৳100 profit). A winning ৳500 bet returns ৳625 — meaning ৳125 profit.
The decimal format is straightforward because you multiply the odds directly to get the total return. In the American format, a plus (+) sign means the team is the underdog; a minus (−) sign means they are the favourite.
Live in-play betting — how odds change when wickets fall and overs pass
As the match progresses the betting picture changes — that is the core feature of live betting.
In pre-match betting you lock in odds before the game starts. In live in-play betting, odds shift with every moment of the match. In cricket this is especially significant because the momentum of the game can change with a single wicket.
Say a T20 match has the batting team at 85/1 after 10 overs — at that point the batting team's market odds are low (they are the favourite). If 2 wickets fall in the next over, the odds will shift quickly because the balance of the game has changed. The bowling team's odds will shorten and the batting team's will lengthen.
The run rate after the powerplay, which batsmen are at the crease, and how many wickets remain — all of this information drives live odds. When betting on in-play markets you need to decide fast, as odds can change within seconds.
Alongside live betting, checking c99's bonus offers can give you an extra advantage at the start — if a welcome bonus of up to 200% on your deposit is active, you can begin with a larger betting balance.
Things to keep in mind for live betting
- Every wicket has an immediate effect on the odds
- The fewer overs remaining, the greater the run pressure
- A no-ball or wide may temporarily suspend the market
- A good internet connection is required
- Base betting decisions on information, not emotion
What happens when you combine multiple matches in a multi-bet
Three selections, one bet — analyse them together.
In a multi-bet (or accumulator bet) you place a single bet across three or more separate events. The odds for each selection are multiplied together to produce the final combined odds.
| Selection | Decimal odds |
|---|---|
| Match 1: Team A wins | 1.40 |
| Match 2: Team B wins | 1.50 |
| Match 3: Team A wins | 1.90 |
| Combined odds | ≈ 3.99 |
If all three selections are correct on a ৳100 bet, the return is ৳399. But if any one selection is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost. The appeal of a multi-bet is the chance of a larger return from a small stake — but that is also the risk.
Multi-bet vs single bet
With a single bet you focus on one match, so if it goes wrong the loss is limited. A multi-bet offers higher returns but getting every selection right is harder. For those new to betting, starting with single bets is simpler.
For the maximum number of selections allowed in a multi-bet and the full market terms, see the terms and conditions.
What to know before you start betting
Betting is entertainment — it is not a source of income.
-
Set a budget beforehand
Decide in advance how much you can afford to lose. Do not bet more than that amount — trying to recover losses increases the risk of losing even more. -
Understand the market before placing a bet
Before trying a new market, read how it works. Betting without understanding it raises the chance of making the wrong decision. -
Base decisions on information, not emotion
Emotions run high when your favourite team is playing — that is not the best time to make a quick betting decision. Analyse the match situation and decide with a clear head. -
Review your betting history
Keeping track of which markets you have won or lost on will help you understand your own patterns and inform future decisions. -
Take breaks
Betting continuously leads to fatigue and poorer judgement. Taking regular breaks is part of responsible betting.
