gt999 Cricket Betting — Best Odds for BPL, IPL and T20 Matches
Bangladesh's most popular sport is now available for betting. gt999 covers T20, ODI and Test cricket with a range of markets, live in-play betting and straightforward payment options.
Cricket's Three Formats and Major Tournaments
Cricket in Bangladesh is more than a sport — it is a passion. When the Tigers play, the whole country comes together. At gt999, you can bet across all three main formats.
T20: The fastest format. Each innings is just 20 overs, so match results can turn in an instant. Tournaments like BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are played in T20 format. The T20 World Cup is the biggest stage for this format.
ODI (One Day International): Each team plays 50 overs. The ICC Cricket World Cup is played in ODI format. The blend of pace and strategy makes this format particularly suited to betting.
Test: This five-day format is the most traditional form of cricket. It offers the widest range of betting opportunities — the situation changes at the end of each day, new markets open and odds shift.
As Bangladesh's own league, BPL is the most familiar and widely followed among Bangladeshi fans. IPL and the T20 World Cup are also regularly covered in the gt999 sports section.

Betting on Football and Other Sports
While cricket is the main draw at gt999, football betting is also available. Coverage spans European leagues through to international tournaments.
One key difference between cricket and football betting is the possibility of a draw. Football has three outcomes — team A wins, team B wins, or it ends in a draw. A limited-overs cricket match generally has no draw, so the market is limited to two outcomes. Test cricket does include the draw option, which affects the odds.
Betting options for kabaddi, badminton and tennis are also available. Each sport has its own scoring system, so the markets differ — spending a little time getting familiar with them makes betting easier.
If sports betting leads you to explore casino games, the gt999 Casino live games and slots section covers that.
Popular Betting Markets in Cricket
Each match offers the opportunity to bet across several markets. Below is a brief explanation of seven common markets.
Match Winner
You predict which team will win the match. In T20 and ODI there are two outcomes — team A or team B. The simplest market and a good starting point for beginners.
Toss Winner
You bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The toss result is separate from the match result — it is an entirely independent market.
Top Batsman
You bet on who will score the most runs for a given team. A player's position in the batting order and pitch conditions play an important role here.
Total Runs Over / Under
You bet on whether the total runs scored will be above or below a set number. For example, "Over / Under 160 runs" means you bet on whether total runs will exceed 160 or not.
Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
You combine bets on multiple matches or markets to create combined odds. You only receive the full return if every selection is correct — one wrong selection means the entire bet is lost.
First Wicket of the Innings
An over / under bet on the run total at which the first wicket will fall in the innings. The first-wicket count at the end of the powerplay determines how the market is settled.
Handicap Betting
When there is a clear difference in strength between two teams, the weaker side is given a virtual advantage to balance the bet. For example, if team A has a −1.5 run handicap, team A must win by at least 2 runs for the bet to pay out.
Decimal, Fractional and American Odds Formats
Odds on betting platforms are usually shown in three formats. All three express the same information — only the presentation differs.
Example 1 — The same odds in three formats
Suppose you bet on team A to win with a stake of ৳1,000. The odds for this bet are written as follows in each format:
| Format | Odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Total return including stake |
| Fractional | 3/2 | Win ৳3 for every ৳2 staked |
| American | +150 | Win ৳150 profit on a ৳100 stake |
With a ৳1,000 stake on team A winning, the return is ৳2,500 (৳1,500 profit + ৳1,000 stake back). If team A loses, the full ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — Odds on the favourite
When team B is the favourite, the odds are lower. Team B's odds: decimal 1.80, fractional 4/5, American -125.
American minus odds (-125) mean you need to stake ৳125 to win ৳100 profit. On a ৳1,000 stake, if team B wins the return is ৳1,800 (৳800 profit).
The team names are fictional — these are examples for illustration only, not actual odds or any guarantee of winning.
Odds Shift with Every Wicket and Over
Live in-play betting means you can place bets after the match has started. At gt999, odds update in real time during the match, so new betting opportunities appear after every over.
When a wicket falls, the batting side's odds lengthen and the fielding side's odds shorten. When the batsmen are playing well, the reverse happens. This way, the market shifts after every ball.
After the powerplay (first 6 overs), the score gives a good indication of which team holds the advantage. Events like a bowling change or a rain interruption are also reflected in the odds immediately.
Avoid making rushed decisions in live betting. Betting is for entertainment — read responsible gaming and set your own limits.
- Odds move quickly after the first wicket falls
- The chasing team's odds are most volatile in the last 5 overs
- New markets open during the innings break
- A revised target under the Duckworth-Lewis rule also affects the betting market
A Few Things to Do Before You Start Betting
- Set a budget before you start. Decide how much you are willing to stake before each session. Placing extra bets to chase losses only increases them.
- Focus on one market. If you are new, start with just the match winner market. Betting across multiple markets at once makes things complicated.
- Understand the format. T20 and Test require different approaches. In T20, results can change in the final overs; in Test, you need to consider how five days of play develop.
- Check pitch conditions. A pitch that suits fast bowlers is more likely to produce lower scores — this has a direct impact on the total runs market.
- Be careful with multi bets. Combined odds are higher in a multi bet, but so is the risk. If one selection is wrong, you lose everything.
- Keep your emotions in check during live betting. When your team is behind, the urge to place a big bet quickly can be strong. Look at the live odds and make decisions with a clear head.
- Read the rules. Before you start betting, go through the terms and conditions, especially the requirements around bonus use.
- Betting is entertainment, not income. Treat betting as part of enjoying cricket — it should not be seen as a reliable source of earnings.
