Cricket Betting at 499 com — Top Betting Markets for BPL, IPL and T20 World Cup
Bet on cricket, the most popular sport in Bangladesh, at 499 com. From Match Winner to Top Batsman, Toss, and Run Over/Under — all markets in one place.
Cricket Formats and Competitions — How to Bet on Each
Cricket's three formats — T20, ODI and Test — each offer a different betting experience. 499 com covers all three formats.
T20 — Fast Results, More Markets
In T20 matches, every over can change the game quickly, so there are more markets for both pre-match and in-play betting. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are the biggest draws for this format. During the T20 World Cup, with matches played back to back, betting activity is at its highest.
ODI — Mid-Length, Strategic Betting
In a 50-over match, mid-over statistics — run rate, wicket partnerships — play a big role in betting decisions. The ICC Champions Trophy and bilateral series are the most common competitions in this format.
Test — Patient Betting
In five-day Test cricket, pitch conditions and the depth of a squad matter. Since a draw is also possible, Test markets offer three outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins, and Draw. Betting in this format is less rushed, but there are opportunities to adjust bets across long sessions.
BPL and Domestic Cricket
The Bangladesh Premier League is the biggest stage for domestic cricket betting. Competition among franchise teams is intense, which often keeps odds tight — analysing the markets carefully before deciding is important.
IPL and International Leagues
IPL is the most popular T20 league in the world, and 499 com offers a wide range of markets for every match. You can also bet on other international leagues including the Big Bash and Pakistan Super League.
ICC Tournaments
Special markets are opened for the T20 World Cup, ICC Champions Trophy and World Cup. In tournament betting, outright markets — such as who will win the tournament — are the most talked-about.
Betting on Football and Other Sports — How It Differs from Cricket
Alongside cricket betting, 499 com also offers betting on football, tennis, badminton and many other sports. Each sport has its own betting structure.
In a 90-minute football match, bets are placed on three main outcomes — Home Win, Away Win or Draw. In T20 or ODI cricket there is no draw, so only two outcomes exist. Test cricket, however, can end in a draw. Football tends to have more markets for scorelines, corner counts and card numbers, because goals are fewer — every event carries more weight.
In cricket, because run totals are much higher, Over/Under markets are very popular. Odds change after every over, which keeps in-play betting dynamic. In tennis, by comparison, odds are reset after each set.
Betting is always for entertainment — setting a proper budget before betting and following the responsible gaming guidelines is every player's responsibility.
Betting Features by Sport
7 Popular Cricket Betting Markets
Each market works differently. Below is a brief explanation of all seven markets.
Match Winner
The simplest market — choosing which team will win the match. Example: Team A's odds are 1.80, Team B's are 2.00 — if you bet ৳500 on Team B and they win, you receive ৳1,000 (৳500 profit); if Team A wins, you lose the full ৳500.
Toss Winner
Betting on which team will win the toss. In this market, the odds for both teams are usually nearly equal. It can be played independently — it has no connection to the match result.
Top Batsman / Bowler
Betting on which player within a team will score the most runs or take the most wickets. Odds are given for multiple players and you need to pick the right one.
Total Runs Over/Under
The bookmaker sets a specific run line — for example, 160 runs. You bet on whether the total runs will be Over or Under that number. Pitch conditions and a team's batting strength are considered when making the call.
Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
If you combine three selections at odds of 1.40, 1.50 and 1.90, the combined odds become 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.90 = 3.99 (approximately). A ৳100 stake returns ৳399, but all three selections must win — if one loses, the entire ৳100 stake is lost.
First Wicket and Powerplay Runs
Special markets are available on how many runs will be scored before the first wicket falls, or on total runs during the powerplay. These markets appear more often in T20, and odds move quickly in-play.
Betting Exchange — Back and Lay
In exchange betting you do not only bet on a team to win — you can also bet against them winning. If you back Team A at odds of 2.00 with ৳1,000, you win ৳1,000 profit if Team A wins; if they do not win, you lose ৳1,000. With a lay bet of ৳1,000, your liability is ৳1,000 (৳1,000 × 1.00); if Team A does not win you receive ৳1,000, and if they do win you pay ৳1,000 — before commission. Exchange betting is a preferred choice for many experienced bettors.
How to Read Decimal, Fractional and American Odds
Betting odds are displayed in three different formats. The examples below are the easiest way to understand them.
The Same Value in Three Formats
Suppose you place a ৳200 bet on Team A to win. The odds can be shown in three formats:
| Format | Value | Result on a ৳200 Bet |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | If it wins, total return is ৳600 (৳400 profit + ৳200 original stake) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked — ৳400 profit on a ৳200 bet |
| American | +200 | Plus means ৳200 profit on a ৳100 stake — ৳400 profit on a ৳200 bet |
All three formats represent the same value — only the way they are written differs. If the bet loses, the full ৳200 is gone.
Favourite Odds — Minus American
The team more likely to win has lower odds. If Team B is the favourite:
| Format | Value | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.25 | Total return of ৳250 on a ৳200 bet (only ৳50 profit) |
| Fractional | 1/4 | ৳1 profit for every ৳4 staked |
| American | -400 | Minus means you need to bet ৳400 to win ৳100 profit |
Profit on a favourite is lower, but they are considered more likely to win. That said, betting is never guaranteed — it is a form of entertainment.
Things to Remember
- Decimal odds are the simplest — the higher the number, the greater the potential profit but the lower the chance of winning.
- American plus odds are for underdogs; minus odds are for favourites.
- In a multi bet, all selections must win — if even one loses, the entire stake is gone.
- Betting is always for entertainment — there is always a chance of losing.

Live In-Play Betting — How Odds Change with Wickets and Overs
In-play or live betting means placing bets while a match is in progress — it is one of the most engaging aspects of cricket betting. What seemed likely before the match can change completely once play begins.
In T20, if two wickets fall in the very first over, the batting team's odds rise quickly (a lower chance of winning means higher odds). Conversely, if boundaries come in quick succession, the batting team's odds start to fall. These changes happen in near real time.
At the end of the powerplay, many bettors make mid-match decisions by checking the run rate and wickets remaining. In ODI cricket, once the situation becomes clearer after the 30th over, there is another opportunity to place new bets.
In Test cricket, conditions shift session by session — as the ball gets older, spinners become more effective, which influences wicket markets. Before placing in-play bets, try to understand how the match is flowing and stay within your budget.
Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is most enjoyable when done with a plan. Keep these tips in mind.
Set Your Budget First
Before each match, decide the maximum amount you are willing to bet. If you lose, it is better not to chase those losses by placing even larger bets.
Focus on One Market
New bettors should first gain experience with simpler markets like Match Winner or Over/Under. Betting across too many markets at once can drain your budget quickly.
Watch the Pitch and Weather
A wet or slow pitch favours spinners and increases the chance of lower run totals. This information is useful when making decisions in Over/Under markets.
Be Careful with Multi Bets
A multi bet with three selections can deliver a large return, but if even one loses the entire stake is gone. If you are not yet experienced, it is better to avoid large multi bets.
No Rushing in In-Play
Odds move fast in live betting, so it is better not to make hasty decisions. Watch a few overs, get a feel for the situation, then place your bet.
Treat It as Entertainment
There is no guarantee of income from betting — it is a way to add to the enjoyment of watching cricket. Always keep the possibility of losing in mind when you bet.
