Formats and Tournaments

The three cricket formats and how to bet on each

Before you start betting on cricket, it helps to understand the differences between the three formats — because the approach to betting varies for each.

T20

T20 Cricket

A 20-over match with a quick result. Tournaments like BPL, IPL, and the T20 World Cup attract the most bets in this format. Every over and every ball can change the course of a match, which makes T20 especially popular for live betting.

BPL IPL T20 WC
ODI

One-Day Match

In a 50-over match, the markets are broader — there is an opportunity to analyse the first and second innings separately. ODI markets are active during the ICC World Cup and bilateral series.

ICC WC Bilateral
Test

Test Cricket

In a five-day match, a third result is possible — a draw. When placing bets, it is important to consider pitch conditions, weather, and team balance. Local bettors show particular interest in Bangladesh Tigers Test matches.

Test Championship Bilateral

Other Sports

Betting on football and more alongside cricket

Beyond cricket, 399 bat also offers betting on football and other sports. The key difference in football betting is that the match-winner market always includes a third outcome — the draw — which does not exist in T20 or ODI cricket. That third option distributes the odds differently.

Basketball betting is also growing in popularity — visit the basketball betting page for more details. If you want a different kind of betting experience beyond cricket or football, check out the crash bonus game special offers.

Whatever sport or competition you follow, understanding odds is a skill that applies across all of them.

Market Analysis

Popular cricket betting markets — how each one works

Several types of markets are available for cricket betting. Each market works a little differently.

Match Winner

The simplest market — you just pick which team will win. T20 and ODI have only two outcomes (no draw); Test has three.

Main Market

Toss Winner

Which team wins the toss before the match starts — this market has no connection to the match result, so odds are generally close to even.

Pre-Match

Top Batsman

Which batsman in the team will score the most runs — for example, selecting a specific batsman from Team A.

Innings-Based

Total Runs Over/Under

Whether runs scored will be above or below a set line — for instance, if the line in a T20 is set at 160, you choose higher or lower.

Totals

Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)

Combine bets across several matches for a higher potential return — but if any one selection is wrong, the entire stake is lost.

High Risk

Method of First Wicket

How the first wicket will fall — bowled, caught, run out, or another method. This falls under specialty markets.

Specialty
Learn to Read Odds

Decimal, fractional, and American odds — simple examples

Odds on a betting site can be written in three different formats. All three carry the same information, just expressed differently.

Example 1 — the same odds in three formats
2.25 = 5/4 = +125

If you place a ৳500 bet on Team A to win — decimal odds of 2.25 means you get a total of ৳1,125 back if you win (৳625 profit + ৳500 original stake). If you lose, ৳500 is gone. Fractional 5/4 means ৳5 profit for every ৳4 staked. American +125 means ৳125 profit on a ৳100 stake.

Example 2 — Favourite's Odds
1.50 = 1/2 = -200

Team B is more likely to win, so their odds are lower. A ৳500 bet returns a total of ৳750 (৳250 profit). American −200 means you need to stake ৳200 to win ৳100 in profit.

The lower the number, the more that team is favoured — and the less you gain if they win. Understanding this core principle of odds makes it easier to bet in any market.

Live in-play betting — odds shift when wickets fall

399 bat live betting scoreboard update

In live betting, markets stay open while the match is in progress and odds can change after every ball. In pre-match betting, markets close before the match starts — but with in-play, you make decisions while the match is happening.

For example — if Team A loses 3 wickets in the powerplay, their odds of winning will jump suddenly because the market considers their chances to have fallen. The opposite also applies: if a batsman hits consecutive boundaries, the odds in favour of that team can drop quickly.

The main benefit of live betting is that you can make decisions based on what you are watching in real time. Keep in mind, though, that there is less time to decide — it is better not to place large bets in a rush.

Short-term markets such as runs per over and the score at which the next wicket falls are available only in-play. These are especially active in T20 because results change quickly.

It is important to follow all betting rules and to bet responsibly. Read the responsible gaming guidelines to learn more.

Smart Betting

Practical tips for cricket betting

  • Set a budget first: Betting is a form of entertainment — keep a separate budget for each session and do not go beyond it. Avoid the temptation to place bigger bets to recover money you have lost.
  • Start with one market: Begin by getting familiar with straightforward markets like match winner or toss winner. Move on to complex specialty markets later.
  • Keep multi bet selections low: Combining too many matches increases the risk to your entire stake. It is wiser to stick to two or three selections at most.
  • Be patient in live betting: Odds change quickly, so it is better not to rush into a large bet at the very first wicket. Wait for the situation to settle a little before deciding.
  • Consider the draw in Test matches: The third result in Test cricket — the draw — is often overlooked. Taking pitch and weather into account can make this market worth a closer look.
  • Know the rules and terms: Before betting, read the terms and conditions carefully — especially the conditions relating to bonuses.

Betting is entertainment, not a profession

Cricket betting is for enjoyment — not a reliable source of income. Every bet you can win, you can also lose.

Set your own limits and stick to them. If you feel concerned about your betting, read the responsible gaming page.

Common Questions

Cricket betting questions and answers

T20 matches generally have the most active in-play markets because the situation changes with every ball. ODI markets are also strong, especially between innings. Test matches have markets too, but they update less frequently.

A multi bet lets you combine selections from several matches. For example, if you place bets on three matches at decimal odds of 1.50, 1.60, and 1.70, the combined odds come to roughly 4.08 — meaning a ৳100 stake returns ৳408 if all selections are correct. If even one selection is wrong, the entire ৳100 is lost.

When a wicket falls, the batting team's chances of winning are considered lower, so their odds increase (meaning a higher potential return). The bowling team's odds shorten. The same works in reverse — a quick scoring run or a strong partnership shifts the odds the other way.

Most Bangladeshi bettors find decimal odds easier. You simply multiply the decimal number by your stake to get the total return. For example, odds of 2.25 on a ৳500 bet gives a total return of ৳1,125. The American format uses + and − signs with different meanings, which can feel a bit confusing at first.

Both tournaments are T20 format, so the core markets are similar. However, IPL teams play more matches and more data is available, so markets there tend to be more active. BPL draws particular interest from local fans because Bangladeshi cricketers take part.
