399 bet Cricket Betting — place bets across all formats from T20 to Test
Betting markets are open for every match in international cricket including BPL, IPL and T20 World Cup. Read this page for a simple guide to understanding odds, the most popular markets, and live betting.
Cricket Formats and Tournaments
T20, ODI and Test — each format has its own pace, and betting strategy differs too.
T20 Cricket
Matches in the twenty-over format finish quickly. BPL and IPL are the most popular tournaments in this format. Top teams from around the world including Bangladesh and India take part in the T20 World Cup. In this fast-paced game the match can turn on any ball, so betting markets stay active throughout.
ODI Cricket
Fifty-over one-day matches produce more detailed statistics. The ICC Cricket World Cup is the showpiece event of this format. Over a long innings, separate markets are available for top batsman, total runs and partnerships. Batting, bowling and fielding — every aspect is reflected on the betting card.
Test Cricket
This five-day format is the oldest and most strategy-driven. Draws, innings margins and the follow-on add extra dimensions to Test cricket. Betting markets are varied too — markets stay open for end-of-day scores, the chance of a draw, and each day's session.
Football and Other Sports Betting
Alongside cricket, 399 bet also offers football and other sports.
In football, markets such as match winner, goals over/under and both teams to score are commonly available for Premier League, La Liga and international matches. The key difference between cricket and football betting is that a draw is rare in cricket (especially T20/ODI), whereas football has three possible outcomes: win, loss and draw.
Sports like Kabaddi, badminton or tennis have fewer markets by comparison, but the excitement in major tournaments is no less. Before placing sports bets, it is worth reading 399 bet's terms and conditions to understand the rules.
In sports other than cricket and football, odds movements follow different patterns. In cricket, odds change in moments when a wicket falls or boundaries come in quick succession, which makes the live betting experience particularly engaging.
Popular Cricket Betting Markets
There are many types of markets you can take part in within a single match. The seven most commonly used markets are briefly described below.
Which team will win the match — Team A or Team B. There is no draw in T20/ODI, so only two options. A straightforward market and a good starting point for newcomers.
Which team will win the toss before the match — this market stays open right up until the match starts. The result is entirely random, but the market is simple to understand.
Which batsman will score the most runs in a specific innings or across the whole match. This market is approached by watching the form of each team's key performers.
Whether the total runs in a match will be more (over) or fewer (under) than a set number. The pitch, weather and each team's batting strength are taken into account.
Multiple selections are placed together on one card and you win only if every result is correct. For example, combining three markets from three separate matches in a multi bet gives much higher combined odds, but if even one is wrong the entire bet is lost.
To level out the difference in strength between two teams, the weaker side is given a notional head start in runs. This market turns a one-sided match into a more balanced bet.
Which bowler will take the most wickets — the bowling lineup and the nature of the pitch play an important role in this market. Decisions are made based on an understanding of conditions for spin or pace bowlers.
A Simple Guide to Reading Odds
Decimal, Fractional and American — the same odds written in three formats.
Odds on a betting site may be shown in three different ways. The two examples below make it easy to understand.
Decimal 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200
If you win, return is ৳1,500 (৳1,000 profit + ৳500 stake); if you lose, ৳500 is gone.
Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American -125
American minus odds show how much stake is needed to win ৳100. On a ৳500 stake the return is ৳900 (৳400 profit).
The decimal format is the simplest — the number is a direct multiplier of your stake. In the American format, plus (+) means underdog and minus (−) means favourite. In the fractional format, the denominator is the stake and the numerator is the ratio of profit.
| Format | Example | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | ৳3 return per ৳1 stake (৳2 profit) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳2 profit on ৳1 |
| American | +200 | ৳200 profit on a ৳100 stake |
| American (Favourite) | -125 | ৳100 profit on a ৳125 stake |
Three odds formats — three expressions of the same value.
Odds shift with every wicket — Live In-Play
You can place bets while a match is in progress — this is called in-play or live betting.
Watch the live scorecard and place in-play bets.
The most notable thing about live betting is that odds change as events happen. In a T20 match, when Team A is scoring quickly during the powerplay, the odds on Team B winning increase. Then if Team A's top batsman gets out, the balance shifts the other way.
Some markets run over-by-over — such as how many runs will be scored in the next over (over runs over/under), whether a wicket will fall on the next ball, or what the score will be at the end of the powerplay. These markets stay open for only a short time.
To do live cricket betting you need to keep checking the scorecard regularly. A slow pitch helps the bowler; if wickets fall quickly, chasing a run target becomes harder — keeping these things in mind helps when making betting decisions. The 399 bet mobile app makes it easy to follow the live score and in-play markets at the same time.
Keep in mind that live betting moves fast and odds are often updated at lightning speed. Set your budget and play for entertainment.
Multi Bet — Multiple Matches at Once
See how much the combined odds can grow when three selections are placed on one card.
Say you have chosen three teams to win in three separate matches — with decimal odds of 1.50, 1.70 and 1.80 respectively. In a multi bet, these three odds are multiplied together:
1.50 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.59 (approximately)
Return on a ৳100 stake is ৳459 — but only if all three win.
If even one loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
The appeal of a multi bet is the chance of a much higher return, but the risk is also higher. If one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost. Because multiple T20 matches can take place on the same day, multi bets are quite common in cricket. Set your budget in line with 399 bet's responsible gaming policy.
Betting is always for entertainment. No strategy guarantees a win — in an unpredictable game like cricket, any result is possible.
Multi Bet — Advantages and Limitations
- Chance of a big return from a small stake
- Keeps you engaged across multiple matches
- One wrong pick means the whole bet is lost
- The risk of each selection adds up
- Play for entertainment only
Things to Know Before You Start Betting
Experienced bettors keep certain things in mind — newcomers should know them too.
Set Your Budget First
Decide in advance how much you will spend per session and stick to that limit. Do not go beyond your budget trying to recover losses.
Understand the Odds Before You Bet
Decimal odds of 1.20 mean a very high chance for the favourite but a low return. Big upsets are always possible, so it is better not to make decisions based on the number alone.
No Rushing in Live Betting
Odds change fast in in-play betting. Take a moment to think rather than making instant decisions driven by emotion.
Build Skill in One Format
T20, ODI and Test each have their own rules and rhythm. Focus on one format first, then move on to the others.
Treat It as Entertainment
Betting is not a way to earn income — it is a form of entertainment. Do not get disheartened by losses and keep your expectations realistic.
