Cricket betting at gt99 – bet on every match from BPL to the T20 World Cup
Cricket, the most familiar sport in Bangladesh, is now even closer at gt99. From match winner to live betting – place bets on the markets you prefer.
Cricket formats and major tournaments
Each format has its own character – and the betting markets differ accordingly.
T20 Cricket
The fastest format. A match is over in just 20 overs, so market values shift with every ball. BPL and IPL are the most popular tournaments in this format. Bangladesh Tigers matches at the T20 World Cup attract particular attention.
ODI Cricket
This 50-over format moves at a moderate pace – the middle overs offer room for tactical shifts. The ICC World Cup is played in ODI format, which generates the most interest for betting. Longer innings make the top batsman market especially popular here.
Test Cricket
This five-day format has the broadest scope for strategy. Pitch conditions, weather and the first-innings result shape the direction of the entire match. Because a draw is possible in Test cricket, the betting markets differ from T20 or ODI.
BPL, IPL and international series
BPL is the closest tournament to Bangladeshi fans – it brings familiar faces and local rivalries together. IPL draws huge interest every year because the teams feature world-class players. During the T20 World Cup and ICC Champions Trophy, the number of live markets on gt99 increases and odds update rapidly.
You can also bet on international bilateral series – each match in a series can be selected individually, or you can bet on the series winner overall.
Football and other sports – what is the difference?
Alongside cricket, gt99 also offers betting on football and several other sports. The market structure is different for each sport.
In football every match lasts 90 minutes and a draw is a normal outcome, so betting markets have three possible results (team A win, team B win, draw). In T20 or ODI cricket a draw does not normally occur, so markets are built around two outcomes. This also affects how the odds are structured.
Goal-line (over/under) and corner markets are popular in football, while run rate, wicket fall timing and over-by-over run markets are more active in cricket. Test cricket does include the draw option, so its odds structure is closer to football.
In Kabaddi, badminton or tennis there are point-by-point live markets that are just as active as cricket's ball-by-ball changes – but each sport's markets need to be understood separately.
Format comparison
| Sport | Outcomes | Special markets |
|---|---|---|
| T20 / ODI | 2 | Wickets, run rate |
| Test | 3 | Innings, series |
| Football | 3 | Goal line, corners |
Common betting markets – how each one works
Here is a plain-language explanation of the six most commonly used markets in cricket betting on gt99.
Match Winner
Which team will win the match – this is the simplest market. In T20 or ODI there are two outcomes (team A or team B); in Test there are three. Example: team A's odds are 1.80 and team B's are 2.00. If you put ৳1,000 on team B and team B wins, you get back ৳2,000 (including ৳1,000 profit); if team A wins you lose the full ৳1,000.
Toss Winner
This market asks who will win the toss. Because pitch conditions and weather often influence the match result, this is not purely a game of luck.
Top Batsman
Which batsman in a given team will score the most runs – this market lists the likely run-scorers for one team. It is more active in ODI and Test formats due to the longer innings.
Total Runs Over/Under
Will the total runs scored in the full match or in one innings be above (over) or below (under) a set number. Example: line 160.5 – if the innings produces 161 or more runs, 'over' wins; if it produces 160 or fewer, 'under' wins.
Multi Bet
Multiple selections are combined into a single bet and all of them must be correct to win. The odds multiply, so the potential return is much higher – but if any one selection is wrong the entire bet loses. You can find out more about multi bets at gt99.
Run Handicap
A virtual run advantage or disadvantage is applied to level the contest. If team B is given +15 runs, the final margin is calculated including that handicap – this keeps the odds for both sides roughly equal.
Odds in three formats – understand them easily
The same market in the same match can be expressed in three different ways. Decimal format is the most familiar on gt99.
Suppose team A's odds are written in three formats like this:
| Format | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | Total return = 3 times the stake (profit = 2 times the stake) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked |
| American | +200 | ৳200 profit on a ৳100 bet |
You can choose any odds format on gt99. Before you start betting it is worth reading the responsible gaming guidelines once.
Decimal, fractional and American – all three formats are available on gt99
Live betting – odds shift the moment a wicket falls
Live or in-play betting lets you place bets in real time while a match is in progress.
If two wickets fall suddenly in the middle of a T20 match, the batting team's odds of winning rise quickly. Choosing to bet at exactly that moment is what makes in-play markets appealing.
What markets are available in-play
- 01 Next wicket – whether the next wicket falls before or after a certain run total.
- 02 Runs in an over – over/under runs in a specific over.
- 03 Next ball – wide, no-ball, boundary or dot ball.
- 04 Match winner (updated) – odds are recalculated as the score changes.
- 05 Run-out or catch – predicting the type of the next wicket.
Practical tips before you start betting
Cricket betting is one way to enjoy the sport – keep to a budget and have fun.
-
01
Understand the format before picking a market
In T20, runs come fast so over/under markets stay active. In Test cricket, the series winner market is relatively stable.
-
02
Set your budget in advance
Decide the maximum amount you will stake before each bet. Only put in an amount you are comfortable losing.
-
03
Start with a single bet
If you are a new bettor, it is sensible to start with one bet on one market. Once you have some experience you can move on to multi bets.
-
04
No rushing in live betting
Odds change fast in-play. Read the flow of the match before deciding rather than placing a large bet on impulse.
-
05
Betting is entertainment, not a source of income
Cricket betting is part of enjoying the sport. There is no strategy that guarantees a win – every match result is uncertain.
Aware betting means enjoying the match even more
