bet 299 Cricket Betting — BPL, IPL and International Matches — Place Your Bets
From T20 to Test cricket — bet 299 lets you bet on every format. Choose your market, understand the odds, and join live betting as the match unfolds.
Cricket's Three Formats and Popular Tournaments
Cricket in Bangladesh is more than a sport — it carries real passion. At bet 299 you can bet across three main formats, and each one has its own betting style.
T20: In this 20-over format, results shift quickly. Market odds move with every ball, making it the most active format for live betting. BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup are the three tournaments that get the most attention among Bangladeshi fans.
ODI (One-Day Match): In this 50-over format, the pace of the match changes more gradually. High run totals and strong pace attacks play an important role when analysing the market.
Test Cricket: In a five-day match, patience and pitch conditions decide everything. The draw is a valid result here, so there are three betting options — team A win, team B win, or draw.
Beyond international series, franchise leagues like BPL and IPL provide regular matches, giving betting opportunities throughout the year.
How Betting on Football and Other Sports Differs
Alongside cricket, bet 299 also offers football betting. The betting experience for these two sports is somewhat different.
In football the result is decided within 90 minutes and a draw is a common outcome — so you can bet on three results (home win, away win, draw). In T20 cricket there is generally no draw, so the market is limited to two teams.
In cricket there are far more events within a single match — every wicket, every over, every powerplay creates a separate market. In football, side markets such as goalscorer or corner kicks are more common.

Popular Betting Markets with Examples
bet 299 cricket betting offers many types of markets. Below is a brief description of some of the most popular ones:
Match Winner
Which of the two teams will win — this is the simplest market. In T20 or ODI, pick either team A or team B. In Test cricket, a draw is also an option.
Toss Winner
Which team will win the toss before the match starts. The toss result is completely random — pitch conditions or form play no role here, making it one of the most unpredictable markets.
Top Batsman
Which batsman will score the most runs in an innings or across the whole match? This market may cover the top scorer within one team (team A's top scorer) or across both teams combined.
Total Runs Over/Under
Whether runs will be above (over) or below (under) a set number — for example, whether the innings total will exceed 160. Pitch type and weather are important factors here.
Multi Bet
Combine multiple selections into one bet. If all selections are correct, the total return is much higher. Example: pick three teams to win across three different matches — the combined multi bet odds can be very large. However, one wrong selection loses the entire bet.
At What Score Will the First Wicket Fall?
How many runs will be scored before the first wicket — this is available as an over/under bet or within a specific range. The strength of the opening partnership shapes how this market moves.
Handicap and Exchange Betting
In handicap betting, the weaker team is given a virtual run or wicket advantage to level the market. On a betting exchange you bet against other bettors — you can either BACK (bet for a win) or LAY (bet against a win).
Odds in Three Formats — Explained with Examples
One of the most confusing parts of cricket betting is reading odds. bet 299 generally shows odds in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same information in different ways.
The example below shows the same value in all three formats:
| Format | Value | Return on ৳500 Bet |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | ৳1,125 (৳625 profit + ৳500 stake) |
| Fractional | 5/4 | Same return — ৳5 profit for every ৳4 staked |
| American | +125 | Plus means ৳125 profit on ৳100 |
If team A wins you get back ৳1,125 (including ৳625 profit); if they lose, the full ৳500 is gone.
For the favourite the odds are usually lower. Say team B has decimal odds of 1.50 (fractional 1/2, American -200). The American minus sign means you need to bet ৳200 to win ৳100. On a ৳500 bet the return is only ৳750 (৳250 profit).
Make sure you understand the odds properly before placing a bet. Betting is entertainment — no specific outcome is guaranteed.
Live In-Play Betting — While the Match Is On
Live betting is the most dynamic cricket experience. After the match starts, odds shift with every wicket, big shot or dot ball. At bet 299 these changes are visible in real time on the live market.
For example: if 3 wickets fall quickly in the powerplay, the odds for the batting team rise sharply because their chances have dropped. At that moment, anyone who thinks the batting side can recover has an opportunity to bet at those odds.
Similarly, if 30 runs are needed off the last 10 balls, the batting team's odds fall while the bowling team's odds rise. Live betting is essentially about using this momentum.
Keep in mind — live betting moves fast. You have less time to decide, so keep a clear head while playing.
What Happens When a Wicket Falls?
When a wicket falls, the batting team's chances of winning drop — so their odds go up and the bowling team's odds come down. Reading this shift quickly is the core skill of live betting.
Over-by-Over Market
How many runs will be scored in each over is also a separate market. The odds can differ depending on whether a spinner or a pacer is bowling — pitch conditions and match situation make this a familiar market.
Some Practical Advice for Cricket Betting
Betting is for entertainment — it is not a reliable source of income. But playing with awareness makes the experience better.
- Start with one market. Match Winner is the simplest — get comfortable with that first, then move to other markets.
- Multi bets offer higher returns, but the risk is also higher. One wrong selection and you lose the entire bet — keep that in mind.
- Set a fixed budget and stick to it. Do not try to recover losses by placing bigger bets after losing.
- T20 and Test betting strategies are different. T20 requires quick decisions; in Test cricket, weather and pitch type matter more.
- To learn about responsible gaming, read bet 299's Responsible Gaming Guide. Make sure betting does not become a problem.
- In live betting, check the bet terms carefully rather than rushing — odds change fast, so confirm everything before placing your bet.

See the example below to understand how a multi bet works. It combines three selections from three separate matches:
Selection 1
Decimal odds 1.60
Selection 2
Decimal odds 1.80
Selection 3
Decimal odds 1.90
Total multi odds: 1.60 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.47 (approximately)
If all selections are correct on a ৳100 bet, the return is ৳547.
Remember — if even one selection is wrong, you lose the full ৳100. A multi bet offers higher potential gains, but the risk is proportionally higher too.
