Cricket Betting at cv999 — Complete Guide to Betting on T20, ODI and Test Matches
From BPL to IPL, T20 World Cup to Test series — find all the popular markets for every format in one place at cv999. Live betting, multi bets, and a guide to reading odds are all on this page.
Three formats of cricket and major tournaments
Cricket's three international formats — T20, ODI and Test — each have a completely different pace, character, and range of betting opportunities. T20 is the fastest: a match ends in just twenty overs, so odds shift in moments. ODI is a fifty-over game — a team's innings plan is easier to follow and betting markets are comparatively stable. Test cricket runs over five days, so beyond the match-winner market, innings totals, session results, and wicket markets are especially popular.
The most popular competition among Bangladeshi fans is the BPL — in this home T20 league, Bangladesh Tigers supporters follow every match closely. There is also strong interest in IPL in Bangladesh. Beyond these, cv999 offers betting on the ICC T20 World Cup, the ODI World Cup, and bilateral Test series as well.
The type of bet changes with each format. In T20 you can find markets on the number of sixes per over or the run rate in the first six overs; in ODI, wicket partnerships and powerplay scores play a big role; and in Test cricket you can bet on the end-of-day score or the result of a specific session.
Betting on Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, football is the second-largest betting category at cv999. Football offers match-winner, both teams to score or not, handicap, and over/under goals markets. The biggest difference from cricket is the draw result — football has three possible outcomes (home win, away win, draw), so the calculation of odds and probabilities works differently. T20 or ODI matches do not normally end in a draw, so you are betting between two outcomes.
Beyond cricket and football, cv999 also offers betting markets on kabaddi, tennis, badminton, and a few other sports. Since each sport has its own rules, it is worth understanding the markets for that sport before placing a bet.
If you are also interested in casino games alongside sports, you can find details on live baccarat, roulette, and slots at cv999 Casino.
Popular Betting Markets in Cricket
Multiple markets are open for every cricket match. Below is a brief introduction to the seven most commonly used markets — Team A and Team B are used as examples throughout.
Match Winner
The most straightforward market. Pick the team you think will win between Team A and Team B. There is no draw in T20 or ODI, so there are only two options.
Simplest marketToss Winner
A chance to bet on the toss result before the match starts. Will Team A or Team B win the toss — the probability is close to 50-50, so the odds are similar on both sides.
Pre-match marketTop Batsman
A market where you pick the batsman who will score the most runs in a team's innings. You choose from several players in the team.
Player marketTotal Runs Over/Under
Choose whether the total runs scored will be over or under a set number. Example: will Team A score more than 160 runs?
Totals marketMulti Bet
Picking the outcomes of several matches together in a single bet. If all selections are correct, the odds multiply for a larger return — but if even one is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
High riskFirst Innings Runs
An over/under market on the total runs scored by the first team in their full innings. Predicting the length of the first innings in Test cricket is a market favoured by experienced bettors.
Innings marketTop Wicket Taker
A market where you predict in advance the bowler who will take the most wickets in an innings or across the full match. This market is especially interesting on pace-friendly pitches.
Bowling marketHow to Read Odds — Three Formats
Betting sites display odds in three different formats — decimal, fractional, and American. All three express the same probability and return; only the way they are written differs.
| Format | If Team A wins | If Team B wins | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.50 | Stake × odds = total return |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 1/2 | Profit / original stake |
| American | +150 | -200 | + means profit on a ৳100 stake; − means how much you stake to make ৳100 profit |
Example 1 — Underdog bet (Team A)
In the same match, Team A's odds are 2.50 decimal, 3/2 fractional, +150 American. On a ৳200 bet, if Team A wins the total return is ৳500 (৳300 profit + ৳200 original stake); if Team A loses, ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite bet (Team B)
Team B's odds are 1.50 decimal, 1/2 fractional, -200 American (American minus odds mean how much you stake to make ৳100 profit). On a ৳200 bet, if Team B wins the total return is ৳300 (৳100 profit + ৳200 original stake).
How a multi bet is calculated
Choosing three selections across three separate matches and placing them in one bet is a multi bet. The odds are multiplied together:
Decimal 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.60 = 3.36 (approximately)
৳100 stake → if all correct, ৳336 returned
If even one selection is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost. Multi bets offer larger returns but carry greater risk — before deciding, read the responsible gaming guidelines.
Live Betting — Odds Change the Moment a Wicket Falls
You can still place bets after a match has started — this is called live or in-play betting. Live betting is especially relevant in cricket because a single wicket or a high-scoring over can change the momentum of a match instantly, and the odds update to a new number right away.
For example: if Team A is 120 for 3 after 15 overs, Team B's chances of winning increase, so Team B's odds shorten and Team A's odds lengthen. In in-play betting you can follow these shifts in real time and bet accordingly. However, because odds change quickly, there is not much time to make a decision.
During the powerplay overs (first 6 overs), most fielders are inside the circle, which increases the chance of more runs being scored — the over/under market for this period is quite active in live betting. Live session-by-session betting is also popular in Test cricket.
Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
These tips help keep your betting more informed and controlled. Remember, betting is entertainment — it is not a reliable source of income.
Set a budget: Decide in advance how much money you will put into betting each week or month, and do not go beyond that limit.
Understand the format before betting: T20 and Test cricket move at completely different speeds — understand which markets work in which format before you bet.
Compare odds: Decimal, fractional, and American all give the same information. Use whichever format you are most comfortable with.
Be careful with multi bets: Multi bets can return more, but one wrong selection and the whole bet is gone. For new bettors, it is better to start with match-winner or single markets.
Make quick decisions in live betting: In in-play betting, odds change every moment — if you wait too long, the odds you want may no longer be available.
Do not increase your stake after a loss: Placing more money on the next bet to recover a loss is a common mistake. Stay within your budget.
