Cricket betting at 99 xo — a complete guide from BPL to T20 World Cup
Cricket is the most popular sport in Bangladesh, and betting on it at 99 xo is straightforward and transparent. From match winner to top batsman — every market is easy to understand, you can learn to read the odds, and make your own decisions.
Cricket formats and popular tournaments
Cricket is played in three main formats — T20, ODI and Test. Each format has its own pace, strategy and betting opportunities.
T20 is the fastest format — a match is completed in 20 overs and results come quickly. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL (Indian Premier League) are played in this format and are the most familiar to Bangladeshi fans. The T20 World Cup follows the same rhythm.
ODI means a 50-over one-day match. The pace of play is a little slower, but the betting options are more varied — markets range from the first powerplay to runs in the final 10 overs.
Test cricket is the longest format — a five-day match. A draw is a valid result here, so the betting options are different. Beyond the match winner, markets such as total runs in an innings or a bowler's wicket count are available.
Bangladesh Tigers international matches, ICC tournaments and other bilateral series are also available for betting on 99 xo.
Differences in betting on football and other sports
Alongside cricket, 99 xo offers betting on football and several other sports. The betting style is different for each sport — knowing a few key differences helps when making decisions.
Football has three possible outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins or draw. T20 or ODI cricket generally does not end in a draw (except for rain interruptions), so cricket markets are somewhat simpler. Test cricket allows a draw, so it offers a three-outcome market similar to football.
Football tends to feature markets such as goal line (over/under), match corners and assists. In cricket, markets such as wickets, run rate and score at a specific over are more prominent. Live betting also works differently — in cricket the odds change after every ball, in football after every goal.
For those who enjoy casino games alongside cricket, live casino and slot games are available at 99 xo Casino.
7 popular cricket betting markets
Understanding how each market works gives you a clear picture before placing a bet. Below are brief explanations of seven common markets.
Match Winner
A bet on which of the two teams will win. The simplest and most straightforward market in T20 and ODI.
Toss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The outcome is entirely equal probability — like a coin flip.
Top Batsman
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs in the match or innings. Understanding the team's batting order is useful here.
Total Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs in a match will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. Example: over/under 320 total runs.
Multi Bet
Combining multiple selections into a single bet. If all selections are correct the odds multiply, but if even one is wrong the entire bet is lost.
Over of First Wicket
A bet on which over the first wicket will fall in the first innings. The pitch conditions and strength of the bowling attack are relevant here.
An example of a multi bet
Say three selections have odds of 1.40, 1.50 and 1.90. Combining all three gives combined odds of 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.90 = 3.99 (approximately). So on a ৳100 bet, if all selections are correct the return is ৳399. But if any one of the three is wrong, the entire ৳100 is lost. A multi bet offers higher odds, but getting all selections right at once is also harder.
A simple way to read and understand odds
Odds in betting are shown in three different formats. All three express the same probability in different ways.
Example 1 — Team A wins
Bet ৳200, odds 3.00. If Team A wins, the return is ৳600 (৳400 profit + ৳200 stake). If Team A loses, ৳200 is gone. The odds are the same in all three formats — decimal 3.00, fractional 2/1, American +200.
Example 2 — Team B is the favourite
Bet ৳200, odds 1.80. If Team B wins, the return is ৳360 (৳160 profit). In American format, -125 means ৳125 must be staked to win ৳100 — the minus sign always indicates the favourite.
What do odds mean?
Odds tell you how much you will receive if your bet wins. Higher odds mean the outcome is considered less likely; lower odds mean it is considered more likely.
Decimal format is the simplest — just multiply your stake by the odds to get the total return. ৳200 × 3.00 = ৳600.
In fractional format, 2/1 means ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked. In American format, a + sign indicates the underdog and a – sign indicates the favourite.
Live betting while the match is in progress
With in-play or live betting you can place bets even after the match has started. In cricket this is especially interesting, because the odds shift with every over or wicket.
Say Team A has scored 90 runs in the first 10 overs without losing a wicket — at that moment Team A's odds to win will shorten (because they are ahead) and Team B's odds will lengthen. Conversely, if three wickets fall suddenly, Team A's odds will lengthen.
Live betting requires quick decisions. Odds can change within a few seconds, so it is worth reading the market rules carefully beforehand.
In T20, the final five overs often swing the match. The live odds during that period change faster than in the earlier overs. In ODI, the powerplay overs and middle overs are important periods for live betting.
Those who want to enjoy all types of gaming from a single app can easily place live bets on mobile through the 99 xo App.
Some practical advice before you start betting
Betting is a form of entertainment. The decisions are yours, but keeping a few things in mind makes the experience easier.
-
01
Set a budget
Decide how much you are willing to spend before you start betting. You should not go beyond that limit. Betting is for entertainment — it is not a reliable way to earn income.
-
02
Start with one market
Begin with a simple market like match winner. It is better not to bet on several complex markets at the same time.
-
03
Understand the odds before you bet
If you can calculate the total return from decimal odds as shown in the examples above, you will have a clear picture before placing a bet.
-
04
Be careful with multi bets
Higher odds on a multi bet also mean higher risk. If even one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
-
05
Know the responsible gaming rules
Betting should be enjoyable, not stressful. Reading the responsible gaming guidelines makes it easier to set your own limits.
Cricket Betting — Things to Keep in Mind
In cricket, pitch conditions, weather and team composition affect the flow of a match. Knowing these factors makes it easier to analyse the markets.
A draw is possible in Test cricket, so the match winner market has three options. In T20 and ODI there are generally two.
Odds change quickly in live betting — it is worth checking the latest odds before confirming any bet.
