299 bet Cricket Betting — bet on every format from T20 to Test
Place bets across various markets on BPL, IPL and international cricket. With live odds, in-play betting and straightforward payment methods, 299 bet is a familiar platform for cricket fans in Bangladesh.
Cricket's Three Formats and Major Competitions
Twenty20 Cricket
The fastest format in the game. In BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup, the situation can change with every over. This format is the most popular for betting because of the high pace of runs and wickets.
One Day International
This 50-over format requires both strategy and patience. A wide range of markets is available for ODI betting across the ICC Champions Trophy, the World Cup and bilateral series.
Test Cricket
In this five-day format, a draw is a valid result. Innings-based markets receive particular attention in Bangladesh Tigers Test matches.
BPL, IPL and International Matches
The passion for cricket in Bangladesh runs throughout the year. During the BPL season, betting markets on 299 bet are active for domestic team matches, and during the IPL for Indian franchise matches. Beyond these, ICC international tournaments — such as the T20 World Cup — are considered the major betting events of the year.
Alongside cricket, 299 bet also offers betting on football and other sports. However, cricket and football betting markets are distinct from each other — cricket has innings-, over- and wicket-based markets, while the main football markets centre on goals, cards and half-time results.

Popular Betting Markets in Cricket
The markets below are the most commonly used in cricket betting at 299 bet. A brief example is given for each.
Match Winner
Which team will win — in T20 or ODI there are only two options (no draw). Example: Team A vs Team B — if you bet on Team B and Team B wins, the bet pays out; if Team A wins, the stake is lost.
Most PopularToss Winner
Which team will win the toss before the match. The outcome is a straight 50-50. Example: bet on Team A to win the toss — if correct, you receive a return based on the stated odds.
Simple MarketTop Batsman
Which batsman will score the most runs. Example: Batsman X scores the most runs in Team A's innings — if correct, the bet wins. This market is independent of the match result.
Requires KnowledgeTotal Runs Over/Under
Whether the total runs scored in the full match or a specific innings will exceed a set number. Example: in a T20, "total runs over 165" — if runs exceed 165 the over wins, otherwise the under wins.
Two-Way OptionFirst Over Runs
How many runs will be scored in the first over — this market is more common in in-play betting. Example: "8 or more runs in the first over" — odds shift according to the powerplay situation.
Live MarketMulti Bet (Multiple Bets)
You can combine bets from multiple matches or markets to increase potential returns. However, if any one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost. See the detailed multi-bet guide for more.
High ReturnsHow to Read Cricket Odds
Betting platforms generally display odds in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same information in different ways.
| Format | Odds for Team A to win | Return on a ৳500 bet |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | ৳1,250 (profit ৳750) |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳1,250 (profit ৳750) |
| American | +150 | ৳1,250 (profit ৳750) |
In the example above, the odds for Team A to win are shown in three formats — decimal 2.50, fractional 3/2, American +150 — and all mean the same thing. A ৳500 bet on Team A returns ৳1,250 if Team A wins (৳750 profit plus the original ৳500 stake). If Team A loses, the ৳500 is gone.
Odds are lower for the favourite. Example: Team B's odds are decimal 1.80, fractional 4/5, American -125 (the minus sign shows how much stake is needed to earn ৳100 in profit). A ৳500 bet on Team B returns ৳900 if Team B wins (৳400 profit).
Lower odds mean the platform considers that team more likely to win — but no outcome is guaranteed. Betting is for entertainment, not as a source of income.
Live In-Play Betting — bet while the match is on
In-play betting means you can still place bets after the match has started. Odds update instantly when a wicket falls, the powerplay ends, or a big six is hit.
As an example — Team A has scored 60 runs for 3 wickets in the first 10 overs. At that moment, Team A's odds of winning will lengthen because they are under pressure. Betting on Team B at that point gives you better odds. However, the situation can change at any time.
There is little time to decide in live betting. It is therefore wise to set your budget in advance. Following the responsible gaming policy helps build healthy betting habits.
- When a wicket falls, run-rate expectations drop — odds move quickly
- Odds on run markets fluctuate most during the powerplay and death overs
- If rain or DLS is possible, the match winner market may be suspended
- In-play bets may have a cash-out option allowing you to close them early
Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is for entertainment — treat it as part of the fun, not as a way to earn money.
-
Set your budget first
Set aside a fixed amount for each match or week and do not go beyond it. Chasing losses by placing more bets is not a good habit. -
Understand one market well
Start with simpler markets like match winner or over/under. It is better to focus on one market than to bet across all of them at once. -
Know the format before you bet
T20 and Test betting are different. In a Test, a draw is a possible result, so odds are split across three options. In T20 there are only two options.
-
Be careful with multi bets
When you combine multiple bets, a single wrong selection means the entire bet is lost. Read the multi-bet guide for more details. -
Compare odds
Odds on the same market can differ at different times. Understanding the difference between pre-match and in-play odds is useful. -
Confirm you are 21 or over
All casino and betting activity at 299 bet is for those aged 21 and above only. 21+
