Cricket Betting at x999 — Place bets on popular T20, BPL and ODI markets
Cricket is the most familiar sport in Bangladesh — and that same excitement is now part of x999's sports section. From match winner to live betting, every over brings new opportunities.
Cricket Formats and Competitions
Before getting into cricket betting, it helps to know the three main formats of the game. T20 is the shortest and fastest — results shift quickly in a 20-over game, so there are more betting opportunities. ODI, or One Day International, is a 50-over format — odds can move dramatically around the middle overs. Test cricket is a five-day contest — with the possibility of a draw, there are three outcomes to bet on.
Among competitions, BPL tops the list for Bangladeshi fans. Familiar faces from local teams make this tournament especially popular. In addition, IPL and various T20 World Cup and ICC international series also have markets open in x999's sports section.
Cricket offers a much wider range of betting markets than football, because a single match generates many events — wickets, overs, runs and the toss. Football markets are mainly centred on goals and match results, but in cricket, every ball can bring something new.
Popular Betting Markets at a Glance
For every cricket match on x999, a range of different markets is available. Below are the seven most common markets, each with a short description.
Match Winner
The match winner market is simply about which team will win the match. In T20 or ODI it is a choice between two teams; in Test cricket, a draw is available as a third result. Example: if Team A wins, the bet wins; if Team B wins, the bet loses.
Toss Winner
The simplest market, settled before the match even begins. You bet on which team will win the toss. The result depends only on a coin — there is no connection to team performance.
Top Run Scorer
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs in a specific innings. Example: from three batsmen in Team A, the one you pick must score the highest to win the bet.
Total Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether total runs will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. Example: total runs in a T20 to exceed 160 — this market is also available live mid-innings.
Top Wicket Taker
A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in the match. If rain shortens the game or wickets fall quickly, odds shift fast — making this market particularly interesting for live betting.
Multi Bet / Multiple Selections
Choosing three or more markets together as a single bet. Example: three selections across three matches — with odds of 1.70, 1.80 and 1.90, the combined odds are 5.81 and a ৳100 bet returns ৳581. Keep in mind that if one selection is wrong, the entire ৳100 is lost.
Handicap / Over-Under Line
A virtual run advantage is given to the weaker team to level the market. Example: if Team B is given a +20 run handicap, Team A's bet loses if the actual margin is not more than 20 — so there is still risk when betting on the stronger side.
How to Read Odds — Three Formats
The same market's odds can be written in three different ways — Decimal, Fractional and American. The value is the same across all three; only the way they are expressed differs.
| Format | Team A win price | Team B win price |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 4/5 |
| American | +150 | -125 |
Example 1 — Team A: A ৳200 bet returns ৳500 if Team A wins (৳300 profit plus the original ৳200 back). If Team A loses, ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — Team B (favourite): Decimal odds of 1.80 mean a ৳200 bet returns ৳360 (profit ৳160). In American format, -125 means ৳125 must be staked to win ৳100 — the minus sign indicates the favourite.
Live In-Play Betting — Bet During the Match
With x999's live betting feature, you can place bets while the match is in progress. Every wicket or big six in cricket causes odds to shift immediately — this is what sets live betting apart from pre-match betting.
For example, if Team B has lost three wickets and is behind in the 15th over of a T20, Team A's match winner odds will shorten (they become the favourite) and Team B's odds will lengthen (they become the underdog). An attentive bettor can watch how the match is going and decide at that moment whether to place a new bet.
In ODI, if plenty of runs come in the powerplay overs, odds shift in the total runs over/under market. In Test matches, pitch conditions and weather cause the probability of a draw to rise or fall at different points in the day. On x999, live markets for each format are displayed separately.
Betting is a form of entertainment — keeping a clear head when markets move fast is important. Read the responsible gaming guidelines and stay within your limits.
Football and Other Sports
As well as cricket, x999 also offers betting on football. Football markets are mainly focused on match results (win/draw/loss), total goals and half-time scores. While a single cricket match can have dozens of markets, football generally produces fewer in-match events.
Football live betting has its own appeal, though — odds shift sharply after a goal or a red card. Betting markets are active across international club tournaments and domestic leagues.
Beyond cricket and football, there are also opportunities to bet on other sports events. Those who want to enjoy more than just sports can visit the x999 Slots section for a different experience.
Cricket vs Football Betting
- Cricket has new markets every ball; football changes with each goal
- Test cricket has a draw result; T20 and ODI do not
- Toss, batsman and bowler markets are more common in cricket
- Multi bets can combine markets from both sports
A Few Practical Points Before You Start Betting
Cricket betting is a form of entertainment — it is not a guaranteed source of income. Winning and losing are both normal in any market. Below are some practical points that can help keep your betting organised.
- Set a fixed amount before each session — do not bet beyond that amount.
- Place a bet only after you fully understand the market — learn each familiar format (T20, ODI, Test) separately.
- Multi bets offer higher potential returns but also higher risk — if one selection is wrong, the entire stake is lost.
- In live betting, take a moment to check the score and match situation rather than deciding too quickly.
- Do not place a large bet to recover a previous loss — treat each match separately.
