Cricket Betting at eg999 — Best Odds for BPL, IPL and International Matches
Bet on every cricket format from T20 to Test. Understand the markets, enjoy live betting, and play securely with eg999's fast payment system.
Cricket's Three Formats and Popular Competitions
To understand cricket betting, you first need to grasp the difference between formats. T20 is the fastest format — each team plays 20 overs and the match is over in just a few hours. Odds move the most in this format because the game can shift within a single over.
ODI, or one-day cricket, gives each team 50 overs. There is more opportunity to adjust your betting strategy during the middle overs. Test cricket is played over five days — because a draw is possible, the markets work differently; you can bet on three outcomes (Team A win, Team B win, draw).
For Bangladesh fans, BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) is the event they wait for all year. With local franchise teams and a mix of local and international players, every BPL match is great for betting. IPL is another major season — the best players in the world take part in India's franchise league. And matches featuring the Bangladesh Tigers in the T20 World Cup and ICC tournaments always draw special interest.
Alongside cricket, eg999 also offers football betting. The key difference is worth noting: football has 90 minutes and three possible outcomes (win, draw, loss); cricket's limited-overs formats have no draw, so the odds structure is different. The handicap and goals over/under markets in football have counterparts in cricket's run-rate and wicket markets.
6 Popular Betting Markets
Each market works differently. Each card below covers one market with a brief example:
Match Winner
The simplest market — pick which team will win the match. If Team A's odds are 1.80 in a T20 match between Team A and Team B, and Team A wins, you get back ৳180 for every ৳100 staked.
T20 ODI TestToss Winner
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. It is essentially a coin flip — two roughly equal possibilities; odds are usually close to even.
T20 ODITop Run Scorer (Top Batsman)
Bet on which batsman will score the most runs in a match or innings. Keeping track of the top batters' current form makes it easier to take part in this market.
T20 ODITotal Runs Over/Under
Pick whether the total runs in a match or innings will be over or under a set number. For example, you can bet on whether a team's innings total will be over or under a line of 160.5.
T20 ODIMulti Bet (Multiple Selections)
Bet on several matches at once and multiply all the odds together. If every selection is correct the return can be much higher, but if even one is wrong the entire stake is lost. This carries greater risk.
Multi Multiple MatchesTop Wicket Taker (Top Bowler)
Bet on which bowler will take the most wickets. Pitch conditions and a bowler's recent form play an important role in this market.
T20 ODI TestHow to Read Odds
Odds are written in three main formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same probability; only the way they are presented differs. eg999 generally uses decimal format, but knowing the others makes it easier to compare across different platforms.
Team A to win, stake ৳500.
Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125.
If you win, you get back ৳1,125 (৳625 profit + ৳500 stake); if you lose, the full ৳500 is gone.
Team B to win, stake ৳500.
Decimal 1.50 = Fractional 1/2 = American -200.
(American minus odds show how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit.)
If you win, a ৳500 stake returns a total of ৳750 (৳250 profit).
Decimal odds are the most straightforward — multiply the odds figure by your stake to get the total return. If you want to learn more about the rules of betting, you will find common questions answered on the FAQ page.
In fractional odds, the numerator is the profit and the denominator is the stake — so 5/4 means ৳5 profit on a ৳4 stake. American plus odds (+125) mean ৳125 profit on a ৳100 stake. The return is the same across all three formats.
Live Betting — Place Bets While the Match Is On
In-play or live betting lets you place bets after a match has already started. Odds shift after every wicket and every boundary. If a team is scoring freely, their odds shorten; if a sudden wicket falls, the other team's odds rise.
Say Team A has made 80 runs in the first 10 overs without losing a wicket. At that point Team A's odds of winning will shorten because they are ahead. Betting on Team B now would give you longer odds. But if Team A then lose two wickets in the next over, the odds will shift again.
Live betting rewards patience — instead of rushing into a large stake, take time to read the situation and start with smaller bets. Remember, betting is for entertainment; set your own limit before each bet. Reading the responsible gaming guidelines will help you stay in control.
Some Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
-
Set a budget first. Before each betting session, decide on a maximum amount for yourself. Staying within that limit keeps things enjoyable; going beyond your budget is not a good idea.
-
Focus on one match you understand well. Rather than betting on every match, concentrate on the one whose format and markets you know best.
-
Be aware of multi bets. Returns on a multi bet can be higher, but so is the risk. One wrong selection and the entire stake is lost.
-
Be patient with live betting. Odds change fast — take a little time to read the situation. Avoiding large stakes under sudden pressure is the sensible approach.
-
Betting is entertainment, not a source of income. Cricket betting is for enjoyment — it is better not to treat it as a way to make money.
-
Cricket markets are not the same as football markets. T20/ODI formats have no draw, so do not confuse them with football's 1X2 market.
