Cricket Betting at 9bet game — Bet on Every Match from BPL to T20 World Cup
Make every moment of Bangladesh's favourite sport more exciting. All types of markets in one place — from match winner to top batsman.
Cricket's Three Formats — and the Differences in Betting
Understanding formats is important in cricket betting — because T20, One Day Internationals (ODI) and Test matches play out differently, so the betting opportunities are different too.
T20 — Fast and Unpredictable
In this 20-over format, the result can turn around in any over. Popular tournaments like BPL and IPL are held in this format. It has the most betting markets and odds move quickly.
ODI — A Strategic Contest
This 50-over format balances strategy and patience. The ICC Champions Trophy and World Cup are held here. Top run-scorer or runs in a specific over are popular bets in ODI.
Test — A Five-Day Challenge
Here a draw is a valid result, so the betting markets are different. Session-based bets, total runs in an innings, or best bowler over a five-day match — these markets are specific to Test cricket.
Football and Other Sports
9bet game is not limited to cricket. In football, the result depends on 90 minutes of play — a draw is far more common, so the 1X2 market (home/draw/away) is different from cricket's two-team betting. Football also has goal line, corner and card markets — which do not exist in cricket.
Sports like Kabaddi, badminton or tennis have fewer markets, but odds are often better. Whatever the sport, it is better to understand the rules of the game before entering any market.

Popular Betting Markets at a Glance
There are several types of markets in cricket betting. Seven popular markets are briefly explained below.
Match Winner
Which team wins the match — Team A or Team B. This is the simplest market in T20 and ODI. Example: if Team A's odds are 2.10, a ৳1,000 bet returns ৳2,100 on a win.
Toss Winner
Which team wins the toss before the match starts. Since the outcome is essentially 50-50, odds are nearly equal. Example: toss odds for either team are usually around 1.90 to 1.95.
Top Batsman
Who will be the highest run-scorer for a team? Example: if one of Team A's 5 batsmen has odds of 3.50, you can bet on that player.
Total Runs Over/Under
Will the total runs in the match be more (over) or less (under) than a set number. Example: if the total runs line is set at 155.5, choosing over means expecting a total of 156 or more.
Top Bowler
Who will take the most wickets in an innings. Economy rate may also be a factor alongside wickets, depending on pitch and weather conditions.
Multi Bet
Combining bets on multiple matches multiplies the odds, increasing the potential return — but if one loses, the entire bet is lost. Example: three selections with odds 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.90 = 3.99; a ৳100 bet returns ৳399 if all win.
Handicap Betting
The weaker team is given a virtual run advantage (handicap) to even out the odds. The stronger team must overcome that handicap to win the bet, otherwise the bet is lost.
Odds in Three Formats — Explained Simply
Odds at 9bet game are usually shown in decimal format, but it is useful to understand fractional and American formats too, as they come up in various discussions.
| Format | If Team A wins | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | ৳2.50 returned for a ৳1 bet (including profit) |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳3 profit on a ৳2 bet |
| American | +150 | ৳150 profit on a ৳100 bet |
Worked Example 1 — Betting on Team A to Win
Say ৳500 is placed on Team A to win with decimal odds of 2.50 (the same bet is 3/2 in fractional and +150 in American). If Team A wins, the return is ৳1,250 — meaning ৳750 profit and the ৳500 stake back. If Team A loses, ৳500 is lost.
Worked Example 2 — Odds on a Favourite
If Team B is the favourite, odds are lower — for example 1.50 in decimal (fractional 1/2; American -200, meaning ৳200 must be staked to win ৳100). A ৳500 bet on Team B winning returns ৳750 — a profit of just ৳250.
Lower odds on a favourite means less risk, but also less profit. Enjoy this as part of the entertainment — betting is not a source of income.
Remember: Decimal odds are the simplest — the higher the number, the higher the return on your bet. Odds below 1.00 cannot be bet on.
Live Betting — Odds Change With Every Wicket
In-play betting during a match is one of the most engaging parts of cricket betting. If Team A loses 3 wickets in the first innings, their odds of winning increase — meaning the return on a winning bet also increases. Conversely, if Team B gets off to a good start, their odds shorten.
If runs come quickly in the powerplay overs, live odds on the total runs over/under market also shift. If rain reduces the number of overs, some markets may be temporarily suspended.
In-Play Tip: Evening dew at Dhaka's ground slows the pitch — keep this in mind when considering second-innings markets. Bear in mind, though, that outcomes are uncertain in any situation.
Live betting moves fast, so it is important to set a budget in advance. Reading the Responsible Gaming guidelines helps you bet safely and with awareness.
A Few Things Before You Start Betting
Betting is entertainment. Keeping the following points in mind makes the experience more comfortable.
Set a Budget First
Set aside a fixed amount for each session and stop when it is gone. It is better not to chase lost money by placing rushed bets.
Know the Match Format
Betting strategy for the same market differs between T20 and Test. Choosing a market with an understanding of the format makes the experience more enjoyable.
Focus on One Bet at a Time
Multi bets offer higher returns, but one loss ends it all. It is wise to focus on one or two markets when starting out.
Be Patient in Live Betting
Odds change fast in-play. Take time to read the situation before entering a market — making instant decisions is rarely an advantage.
Read the Terms and Conditions
Different betting markets have specific rules — for example, what happens if a match is abandoned. Reading the Terms and Conditions means you will not be caught off guard.
Betting is Entertainment, Not Income
Cricket betting is another way to enjoy the sport. Treating it as entertainment rather than a source of income gives the best experience.
