Cricket Betting on 49bet — Place bets on every match from BPL to T20 World Cup
Make every moment of Bangladesh's favourite sport more enjoyable with cricket betting on 49bet. T20, ODI, Test — popular markets across all formats, live betting, and easy payments, all in one place.
Cricket's three formats and popular tournaments
One of the biggest advantages of cricket betting is its variety. T20, ODI and Test — each format has its own pace, strategy and markets, so the betting experience differs across them.
T20 — Fast-paced betting
The situation can shift every over, making T20 the most active format for live betting. BPL and IPL are the most familiar tournaments for Bangladeshi fans. Bangladesh Tigers matches at the T20 World Cup draw the highest betting interest.
T20 BPL IPLODI — 50-over strategy
One-day matches move at a slower pace but offer more markets. From the opening powerplay to the death overs at the end, conditions keep changing, giving bettors multiple entry points throughout the match.
ODI ICC InternationalTest — five days of patience
In Test matches, wickets, pitch conditions and weather play a big role in the odds. The draw market is available here but not in T20 or ODI. A long match creates many betting opportunities at different points.

Football and other sports markets
Alongside cricket, you can also bet on football at 49bet. Markets like match winner, goal scorer or both teams to score are available for the English Premier League, Spanish La Liga and international competitions.
The main difference between cricket and football betting is the format. Cricket has toss, wicket and over-based markets that do not exist in football. Football matches rarely last five days, but live market odds shift just as quickly as in cricket.
Betting markets for other sports like Kabaddi, Badminton and Tennis also open depending on the season. You can check the full list of sports on the 49bet complete sportsbook.
5 popular betting markets that are used most
Match Winner
Bet on which team will win the match. The simplest market — pick a team and wait for the result. Example: in Team A vs Team B, if you pick Team A and they win, you get a return based on the odds.
Simple PopularToss Winner
Bet on who wins the toss before the match starts. The outcome is completely independent and unrelated to anything else in the match. Results come quickly, which makes it a favourite market.
Quick T20Top Batsman
Bet on which batter will score the most runs in a specific innings or the whole match. Knowing the team's lineup makes this market particularly interesting.
Batter PerformanceTotal Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the total runs scored will be above or below a set number (e.g. 165). Pitch conditions and weather play an important role here.
Over UnderMulti Bet
Combine multiple selections in one bet. Example: if 3 selections have decimal odds of 1.40, 1.80 and 1.90, the combined odds are 1.40 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 4.79 (approx) — a ৳100 stake returns ৳479 only if all three selections win; if one loses, the entire ৳100 is gone.
Multi Bet High ReturnsTop Bowler Market
Betting on which bowler will take the most wickets is also popular. This market becomes especially significant on spin-friendly pitches.
Bowler WicketsHow to read odds — a comparison of three formats
Odds are written in three ways — decimal, fractional and American. 49bet generally uses the decimal format, but knowing all three makes it easier to understand other platforms too.
| Format | Team A win odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | A ৳1,000 stake returns a total of ৳2,250 (৳1,250 profit + original ৳1,000) |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳5 profit for every ৳4 staked |
| American | +125 | ৳125 profit on a ৳100 stake |
All three formats above express the same odds value. If Team A wins, a ৳1,000 stake returns a total of ৳2,250 — profit of ৳1,250 plus the original ৳1,000 stake. If they lose, the full ৳1,000 is gone.
Odds for the favourite are generally lower. Say Team B is the favourite — their odds are decimal 1.50 = fractional 1/2 = American −200. The American minus here means you need to stake ৳200 to win ৳100. A ৳1,000 stake returns a total of ৳1,500 (৳500 profit).
Quick way to remember
- Decimal odds are the simplest — multiply directly (stake × odds = total return)
- American + means that amount of profit per ৳100 staked; − means how much you need to stake to win ৳100
- In fractional odds, the left number is profit and the right is the stake (5/4 = stake 4, win 5)
- Higher odds mean the team is weaker or the outcome is uncertain — higher return, higher risk
Odds shift the moment a wicket falls — live betting
Live or in-play betting means placing bets while the match is going on. Odds update after every ball, wicket or over, so you can make decisions based on how the match is unfolding.
Example: if two wickets fall in the first over, the batting team's odds go up because their chances of winning have dropped. Conversely, a string of big overs pushes up the bowling team's odds.
Live betting in T20 is the most fast-moving, as the situation can change dramatically every over. On 49bet, live markets include match winner, next wicket, over runs and more.
Some practical tips before you start betting
- Set a budget beforehand: Decide how much you will stake before each match. Betting is a form of entertainment — it should not be treated as a source of income.
- Understand one market well: If you are new, start with just the match winner. Focus on one market at a time rather than spreading across many at once.
- Choose your format: T20 gives quick results; ODI and Test involve longer bets. Pick a format based on your preference and patience.
- Be careful with multi bets: Combining many selections increases returns, but also increases risk. One wrong selection and the entire stake is lost.
- Bet responsibly: The most important advice is not to place large bets to chase losses. Read the responsible gaming guidelines once.
