399 bed Cricket Betting — Place bets on all formats from T20 to Test
A complete guide to betting on BPL, IPL and international cricket. From understanding odds to live betting — everything in one place.
Cricket's three formats and why they differ
In Bangladesh, cricket is more than a game — it is a passion. The excitement people feel about every Bangladesh Tigers match carries over into betting as well. But to understand betting properly, you first need to be clear on the differences between formats.
20 overs per side. Odds move fast in this quick format — BPL and IPL are played here. It is the most popular format among bettors because results come quickly.
A 50-over match. Played in the ICC World Cup and bilateral series. Slightly more strategic than T20 — the toss and pitch conditions carry more weight here.
The longer five-day format. A draw is possible, so the range of markets is wider. It gives patient bettors more time to think.
BPL, IPL and international matches
BPL is Bangladesh's own T20 league, where local and overseas players compete together. It is especially familiar to Bangladeshi bettors because the teams are well known and there are many matches. IPL is India's franchise tournament, but it has a huge following in Bangladesh — so IPL betting markets stay active too. The T20 World Cup and other ICC tournaments are the biggest betting events at the international level.
You can also bet on football and other sports at 399 bed. The market structure for football differs from cricket — for example, a draw is a separate result in football, which does not exist in T20 or ODI. Handicap and corner markets are popular in football, while wicket and run-based markets dominate in cricket.
5 popular betting markets explained simply
Cricket betting offers many types of markets. For beginners, starting with simpler markets is the smart move. Five common markets are explained below.
Match Winner
Picking which team will win the match. Example: bet on either Team A or Team B. The most common market in T20 and ODI.
SimpleToss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss. It has no direct connection to the match result — the toss is a separate market.
IndependentTop Batsman
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs in the match. Can be within a specific team or across the entire match.
PerformanceTotal Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs scored in the match will be above or below a set number. Example: will total runs be more than 300?
Run-basedMulti Bet
Placing multiple matches or markets together in a single bet. If all selections win, the return is larger — but if one loses, the entire bet is lost.
High RiskTop Bowler / Wickets
Markets on which bowler will take the most wickets or who will take the first wicket — a bowler's current form matters here.
Bowling
An example of a multi bet
Say you pick three different teams to win in three separate matches. If the decimal odds are 1.40, 1.50 and 1.90, the combined odds come to 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.90 = 3.99 (approximately). With a ৳100 stake, if all three selections win you get back ৳399. But if even one selection loses, you lose the full ৳100. Multi bets carry higher risk, so it is best to treat them as entertainment.

Decimal, fractional and American odds in one place
Odds can be written in three formats, but each one expresses the same information differently. Use the two examples below to understand.
Example 1 — the same odds in three formats
Place a ৳1,000 bet on Team A to win. The same odds written in three formats:
| Format | Odds | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | Multiply by your stake: ৳1,000 × 2.25 = ৳2,250 total return (৳1,250 profit + ৳1,000 original stake) |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳5 profit for every ৳4 staked. On a ৳1,000 bet, profit = ৳1,250 |
| American | +125 | A positive number means that amount of profit on a ৳100 stake. On a ৳1,000 bet, profit = ৳1,250 |
If Team A wins, total return is ৳2,250; if they lose, you lose ৳1,000.
Example 2 — odds for the favourite
The same bet with Team B as the favourite:
| Format | Odds |
|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 4/5 |
| American | -125 |
With a ৳1,000 bet, if Team B wins you get back ৳1,800 in total (৳800 profit). In the American format, a negative number means you need to stake that amount to make ৳100 profit.
Live betting — how odds change when a wicket falls
Placing a bet before the match starts is called pre-match betting. Live betting is the option to place bets while the match is in progress — and that is where cricket gets most interesting.
Say Team A is in a strong position in the 15th over of a T20 — Team A's odds will shorten and Team B's will lengthen. But if Team A's batting suddenly collapses and two big wickets fall, the odds flip. These changes happen quickly in in-play betting.
Between overs you can also find smaller markets like how many runs will be scored in the next over, or whether the next ball will be a six. In Test matches there are session-based markets, such as the run total before the tea break.
Live betting requires quick decisions, so a good internet connection and a fast device matter. That is why many people use the 399 bed App — find out more about downloading and using the 399 bed App.
Practical tips for cricket betting
Betting is part of entertainment — and to make sure it stays that way rather than becoming a problem, a few basic points are worth keeping in mind.
-
Set a budget first
Decide in advance how much you will bet each day or week. Do not go beyond that limit — regardless of whether you are winning or losing. -
Focus on one market
Beginners are better off starting with the match winner market. Betting on too many markets at once makes decisions harder. -
Understand the format before betting
The same market works differently in T20 and Test. Consider pitch conditions, weather and each team's recent form as a general guide. -
No big bets after a loss
Placing a sudden large bet to recover losses is risky. If you lose, stop and think it over calmly later. -
Learn about responsible gaming
When betting starts to feel like a burden, it is important to seek help. Read our responsible gaming guide. -
Know the rules and terms
Read bonus and betting terms carefully. All the details are on the terms and conditions page.
