49bet Sports Betting — A complete guide from understanding markets to placing bets
From logging in and adding funds to your account, to confirming bets on the bet slip — the full betting process at 49bet is explained here in simple terms.
Log in and add funds to your account
Before you start betting, the first step is to log in to your 49bet account. Enter your username and password on the 49bet login page to sign in and open your dashboard. If you want to play on mobile, download the 49bet app and you can access your account anytime, anywhere.
After logging in, go to the deposit menu and choose your payment method. At 49bet you can deposit using bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and bank transfer. The minimum deposit is just ৳100 — with any method. As soon as the funds are added, they will appear in your account balance and you can place bets right away.
- 1 Log in — Enter your username and password to access your account.
- 2 Open the deposit menu — Choose your preferred method from bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, or bank transfer.
- 3 Enter an amount — You can start from a minimum of ৳100.
- 4 Confirm — Once payment is confirmed, your balance will be updated.
Finding markets and reading odds
Once your account has a balance, go to the sports section and choose your preferred sport. Cricket, football, tennis, basketball — hundreds of markets across various sports are available here. 49bet has a very wide cricket market — BPL, IPL, and T20 World Cup matches feature match winner, over/under, top batter markets, and much more. You can visit the cricket betting page for full details.
After selecting a market, check the odds. 49bet lets you view odds in three formats — decimal, fractional, and American. All three show the same value in different ways:
| Format | Team A (Win) | Return on ৳1,000 stake |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | ৳2,250 (profit ৳1,250 + stake ৳1,000) |
| Fractional | 5/4 | If you lose, the full ৳1,000 is gone |
| American | +125 | Win back ৳2,250 |
The favourite team usually has lower odds. For example, if Team B has decimal odds of 1.50 (fractional 1/2, American -200), a ৳1,000 stake returns ৳1,500 if they win (profit ৳500). American minus odds show how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit.
Bet Slip — Single & Multi Bet
Click any odds and they are automatically added to your bet slip. Enter your stake amount and the potential winnings will be shown.
Single Bet
In a limited-overs cricket match where Team A is at 1.65 and Team B at 2.30, a ৳500 stake on Team B returns ৳1,150 if Team B wins (profit ৳650). If Team A wins, the full ৳500 is lost.
Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
In a multi bet, the odds of 3 selections are multiplied: 1.40 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 4.79 (approximately). A ৳100 stake returns ৳479 if all win. However, if even one selection loses, the entire ৳100 is lost — multi bets carry higher risk.
Sports & Casino — Two Types of Betting
Sports Betting
The sports section offers markets including match winner, match score, over/under, handicap, and more. Rather than giving a specific stake or return example for handicap or over/under markets, let's understand the outcome — in a handicap market, the weaker team is given an artificial advantage; for example, with a +1.5 run handicap, you can still win the bet even if that team loses by 1 run. For more details, visit the Cricket Betting Guide.
Betting on Casino Games
Alongside sports, 49bet also lets you bet on live casino and slot games. The live casino offers Baccarat, Roulette, and Teen Patti with real dealers. Visit the 49bet Casino page for full details on casino games.
Betting Exchange
In a betting exchange, two positions are available — BACK and LAY. BACK means betting on a team to win; LAY means betting on that team not to win. If you BACK team A with ৳500 at decimal odds of 2.50: you gain ৳750 if team A wins (before commission), and lose ৳500 if they don't. If you take a LAY position with a backer's stake of ৳500: your liability is ৳750; you gain ৳500 if team A doesn't win, and must pay ৳750 if they do.

High RiskOpen & Settled Bets — Bet History
After placing a bet, you can see a record of all your bets in the 'Bet History' section of the 49bet account menu. There are two tabs:
- A Open Bets — Bets whose results are not yet decided appear in this list. A bet stays here until the match is over. For some matches, a cash-out option may be available, which lets you close the bet before the match ends.
- B Settled Bets — Once a match result is confirmed, won and lost bets move to the settled list. Winnings from successful bets are automatically added to your balance.
- C Withdraw — To withdraw your winnings, go to the Withdraw menu. You can withdraw via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, or bank transfer, with a minimum of ৳500. Funds generally arrive within 5–30 minutes.
Bet History stores all details including date, market, stake, and returns, which can help you analyse your own betting patterns in the future.
Set a budget and limits before you bet
Betting is a form of entertainment — treating it as a way to make money can lead to problems. Before you start playing on 49bet, set a weekly or monthly budget for yourself and never exceed that limit. To learn more about responsible gaming, read the responsible gaming page.
Deposit Limit
Set a maximum amount for how much you will deposit each day or each week. You can start with as little as ৳100.
Loss Limit
Once you have lost a set amount, stop betting for that day. Avoid placing larger bets to try to recover losses.
Time Limit
Do not bet for long stretches without a break. Take breaks and maintain a balance with your personal and family responsibilities.
Chase Limit
Do not place bets one after another on impulse during live betting. Consider each bet separately.
