Cricket Betting at 99 apps — Complete Guide to T20, ODI and Test Betting
From BPL to IPL, T20 World Cup to Test series — bet on popular markets across every format, follow live odds, and make use of in-play betting.
T20, ODI and Test — betting differences across three formats
Cricket has three main formats — T20, One Day International (ODI), and Test — each with its own pace and strategy, so the style of betting also differs.
T20 is the fastest; results are decided in just 20 overs, so odds move quickly and in-play betting is most active. BPL and IPL are the most familiar T20 leagues for Bangladeshi bettors. ODI matches are played over 50 overs, which creates more opportunities for mid-over statistics and partnership bets. The national excitement around the T20 World Cup and ICC Champions Trophy also drives activity at the betting table.
Test cricket is a five-day contest; matches can end in a draw, so there are more markets available — session results, innings runs, end-of-day scores, and more.
For football, 99 apps provides coverage of international leagues and tournaments throughout the year. Just as odds shift when a wicket falls in cricket, a goal or red card instantly affects football odds — the mechanics of the two sports differ but the core betting principles are the same.
The seven most popular markets in cricket
Understanding how each market works and when it is most useful is the first step to enjoying betting.
Match Winner
The simplest market — pick which of the two teams will win. In T20, you choose between Team A and Team B; there is no draw, so there are only two options.
Simple marketToss Winner
Bet on the result of the coin toss before the match begins. When pitch and weather conditions are favourable, the toss can often set the direction of the match.
Pre-matchTop Batsman
Bet on which batsman will score the most runs for their team. Current form and the type of pitch play an important role.
Player betTotal Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the total runs scored by both teams in a specific over or innings will be above or below a set line.
Total betTop Wicket Taker
Bet on who will take the most wickets. It is worth considering swing-friendly pitches for pace bowlers and turning wickets for spinners.
Bowler betMulti Bet
A multi bet combines selections from multiple matches or markets into one bet. All selections must be correct to receive a return — one wrong selection loses the entire bet.
Multiple selectionsHandicap Betting
A virtual advantage is given to the weaker team to level the contest — for example, if Team A is given a 15-run head start, their winning margin is calculated with that difference taken into account.
HandicapDecimal, Fractional and American Odds — understand the difference
The same bet value can be written in three different formats. 99 apps generally shows decimal odds, but knowing the other two makes it easier to compare.
| Format | Team A win (example) | Return on ৳500 stake |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | ৳1,500 (৳1,000 profit + ৳500 returned) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | Same outcome — ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked |
| American | +200 | Plus means ৳200 profit on a ৳100 stake |
Take this example: Team A's win odds are 3.00 in decimal, 2/1 in fractional, and +200 in American. If a ৳500 bet wins, the total return is ৳1,500 — that is ৳1,000 in profit plus the original ৳500 stake returned. If the bet loses, the full ৳500 is gone.
For a favourite, the odds are lower. Team B's win odds are 1.50 in decimal, 1/2 in fractional, and -200 in American. The American minus means you must stake ৳200 to profit ৳100. On a ৳500 bet, the total return is ৳750 (৳250 profit).
In a multi bet, odds are multiplied together. If three selections have odds of 1.60 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.90 (rounded), a ৳100 stake returns ৳490 — but if even one selection loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
Odds shift when a wicket falls — how in-play betting works
LIVELive or in-play betting means placing bets while a match is in progress. Every wicket, every six, or every maiden over updates the odds immediately. It is the betting style that fits most naturally with the pace of cricket.
Say Team A has lost three wickets in the first powerplay — their odds of winning will lengthen, while Team B's odds will shorten. On the other hand, if a batsman scores 25 runs across three consecutive overs, the odds on their 'top scorer' market will shorten.
In ODI and Test matches, session-based live markets are available, where you can bet on total runs or wickets up to the lunch or tea break. When using 99 apps on mobile, push notifications keep you updated on odds changes.
Live betting is fast and odds do not stay fixed — so it is important to decide your stake before placing a bet and to keep responsible gaming principles in mind.
Things to keep in mind to enjoy betting
Focus on one format
Each of the three formats has different rules. As a new bettor, start by getting a solid understanding of T20 markets before moving on to ODI or Test.
Set a budget
Decide in advance how much you will stake per match. Staying within your set limit regardless of whether you win or lose is the key to long-term enjoyment.
Read the pitch report
A spin-friendly pitch tends to produce lower total runs. On a pace-friendly wicket, the chance of wickets falling in the first session is higher.
Take breaks from betting
Betting for several hours in a row reduces your ability to make good decisions. Taking a break between matches or between series keeps your mind fresh.
