Cricket Betting at 995bet — Bet on Every Match from BPL to the T20 World Cup
Betting on Bangladesh's favourite sport is now straightforward. At 995bet, you can bet on every cricket format, every major tournament, and a range of markets — simple, direct, and in Bengali.
Cricket Formats and Tournaments — Which One Is Most Enjoyable to Bet On
Cricket has three main formats — T20, ODI and Test. The style of play differs across formats, so the betting markets vary too. T20 is the most popular among cricket fans in Bangladesh because it is the fastest and most dramatic format.
T20 Cricket
Each team plays just 20 overs. A match typically finishes within 3 hours. BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup attract the most interest from Bangladeshi fans. Every over can change the situation, so live betting works particularly well here.
One Day International (ODI)
Each team plays 50 overs. ODIs are held across various bilateral series as well as the ICC World Cup. With longer matches, there are more opportunities for mid-match markets and innings-based betting.
Test Cricket
A five-day match with three possible results — win, loss or draw. Test cricket allows you to bet by analysing the game session by session. Interest among local bettors rises noticeably during Bangladesh Tigers home Test series.
For bettors in Bangladesh, BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are the two most talked-about tournaments. Since BPL features competition between local teams, domestic bettors feel a stronger connection to it. IPL involves world-class players, so it is widely followed in Bangladesh as well, and the range of betting markets there is much broader. Beyond these, 995bet also offers betting on the ICC T20 World Cup, Asia Cup, and Bangladesh home and away series.
Football and Other Sports Betting — What Sets Them Apart
At 995bet, you can bet on football, basketball and a few other sports alongside cricket. The betting experience differs from one sport to another.
Football has three possible results — win, loss or draw — so the market setup is different. While it does not have the over-by-over shifts of cricket, football offers options like goal probability, number of corners, and handicap markets.
For more details on basketball betting, visit the 995bet basketball betting page — it covers quarter-based markets and point spreads in full.
What makes cricket distinctive is that every ball, every wicket and every over can shift the market price — it is far more dynamic than football or basketball.
Popular Betting Markets — How to Bet on Each One
Cricket is not just about 'who will win' — there are many types of markets where bettors can approach the game from different angles. Below is a brief explanation of seven popular markets.
Match Winner
The simplest market — you bet on which of the two teams will win. There is no draw in T20 or ODI, so there are only two options. Example: Team A vs Team B — if you think Team B will win, bet on Team B.
Toss Betting
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. This is a completely separate market — it has no connection to the match result. It is a straightforward market that is settled quickly.
Top Batsman
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs in the match. You pick the highest-scoring batsman for one team or across the whole match. Example: choose who will score the most runs for Team A in that market.
Total Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether total runs will be above or below a set line. Example: in a T20 match, will total runs exceed 165 — selecting 'Over' means you win if runs reach 166 or more.
Multi Bet
Multiple selections are combined into a single bet. If all selections are correct, you receive a return at multiplied odds. Example: if three matches have odds of 1.40, 1.50 and 1.80 — a ৳100 bet returns ৳378 if all win (1.40 × 1.50 × 1.80 = 3.78); if even one loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
Top Bowler
A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in the match. This is particularly interesting in Test matches because there is a lot of bowling across two innings. In T20, you can focus more on powerplay bowlers.
Handicap and Innings Markets
In handicap betting, a notional advantage is given to the weaker team to level the contest between the two sides. For example, giving Team A a -12 run handicap means they must win by that margin. There is no specific stake or return example for this market — the outcome depends on interpretation.
Odds in Three Formats — An Easy Way to Understand Them
On 995bet, odds for the same match may be shown in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. These all express the same information differently.
| Format | Team A odds | Team B odds |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.50 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 1/2 |
| American | +150 | -200 |
Example 1 — Bet on Team A to win (৳1,000): Decimal 2.50 means ৳2.50 returned for every ৳1 staked. Betting ৳1,000 returns a total of ৳2,500 if you win (৳1,500 profit + ৳1,000 stake back); you lose ৳1,000 if you lose. Fractional 3/2 and American +150 mean the same result expressed differently.
Example 2 — Team B as favourite (৳1,000): Team B's odds are decimal 1.50, fractional 1/2, American -200. A winning ৳1,000 bet returns a total of ৳1,500 (৳500 profit). American minus odds show how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit — in this case, ৳200.
Live Betting — Odds Shift with Wickets and Overs
In-play or live betting in cricket is a feature that lets you place bets while a match is in progress. It differs from standard pre-match betting because odds change at every moment.
For example, if Team A has scored 40 runs for 2 wickets in the powerplay of a T20 match, Team A's win odds will shorten and Team B's odds will lengthen. The reverse is also true — if Team A reaches 55 runs without losing a wicket, their odds compress further.
Odds change fastest when a wicket falls. Breaking a big partnership or two wickets falling in quick succession can shift the entire picture of the match. Live betting creates greater engagement through this movement. However, since it changes rapidly, it is important to follow the responsible gaming guidelines.
In over-by-over markets, you can also bet on very short, fast-moving outcomes — such as how many runs will be scored in a specific over or whether a wicket will fall in it.
Some Practical Tips Before You Start Betting
Cricket betting is a form of entertainment. Think of it as something enjoyable rather than a source of income. Below are some general tips that help keep the betting experience more disciplined.
Set a Budget
Before each session, decide how much you are willing to stake. If you lose, stay within that limit — do not place extra bets to recover losses.
Focus on One Market
Rather than spreading across many markets at once, start with simpler ones like match winner or total runs over/under.
Understand the Format Before Betting
The odds structure for T20 and Test differs. In T20, a team that starts quickly has an advantage; in Test, pitch conditions and weather play a bigger role.
Be Patient in Live Betting
In-play odds shift quickly. Rather than acting on impulse, assess the situation before placing a bet and the experience becomes more enjoyable.
