Place Cricket Bets at 29bet – Top Markets for T20, ODI and BPL
29bet is with you for Bangladesh's most popular sport. Match winner to toss, live in-play to multi bet — everything in one place.
Three Formats of Cricket and Popular Tournaments
T20 Cricket
T20 betting is the most popular format because results come quickly. In BPL and IPL, odds shift every over, which creates more opportunities for live betting.
T20 World CupODI Cricket
In the fifty-over format, the pace of a match builds gradually. At major events like the ICC World Cup, ODI betting is particularly engaging because many markets stay open throughout the innings.
ICC ODI WCTest Cricket
In a five-day contest, a draw is a valid result, so Test betting has three options. Bangladesh Tigers Test matches attract the strongest interest from local supporters.
Test SeriesEvery BPL season becomes a stage for Bangladesh's top cricketers alongside overseas players, making each match a fresh contest. Bangladeshi fans follow the IPL differently — familiar faces taking the field for various franchises give every game its own story. The T20 World Cup and ICC tournaments expand the betting landscape further, with many matches running at the same time.
Football betting typically has three outcomes — win, loss, or draw — and handicap markets work separately. In limited-overs cricket there are usually two outcomes, so the odds and betting approach are different. Understanding the differences between sports adds a new dimension to following each match.
7 Popular Markets Players Choose
Each market has its own character — some are simple, others are favoured by more experienced bettors. A brief introduction to each market is given below.
- Match Winner: Bet on which team will win the match. In T20 and ODI there are two options (Team A / Team B); in Test there are three — Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw.
- Toss: The result is known before the match begins. It is a simple market to bet on, though the odds are usually close to even.
- Top Batsman: Bet on which batter will score the most runs. If you think a particular batter from Team A is in good form, this market can offer a different return.
- Total Runs Over/Under: Bet on whether the total runs in the match will be above or below a set number. Wicket conditions and pitch behaviour can be factored into your decision.
- Multi Bet: Combine bets from multiple matches on one ticket. All selections must win — if one loses, the whole ticket is lost. The potential return is much higher.
- Man of the Match: Bet on who will win the player of the match award. With higher odds, there is potential for a large return from a small stake.
- Number of Wickets: Bet on how many wickets will fall within a set number of overs. This market is especially active during live betting.
How to Read and Understand Odds
Odds are displayed in three formats — decimal, fractional, and American. All three express the same market in different ways. The two examples below will make the difference clear.
Example 1 — Team A wins (৳200 bet)
| Format | Odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | 3x the stake returned |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked |
| American | +200 | ৳200 profit on a ৳100 stake |
If your ৳200 bet wins, total return is ৳600 (৳400 profit + ৳200 stake back). If it loses, only ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — Team B favourite (৳200 bet)
| Format | Odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.80 | 1.8x the stake returned |
| Fractional | 4/5 | ৳4 profit for every ৳5 staked |
| American | -125 | ৳100 profit on a ৳125 stake |
If your ৳200 bet wins, total return is ৳360 (৳160 profit + ৳200 stake back). Being the favourite means a lower return, but the chance of winning is considered higher.
Decimal odds are the simplest — stake multiplied by odds equals total return. Fractional odds show the profit rate: the right number is the stake, the left number is the profit. In American odds, a plus sign means that amount of profit on a ৳100 stake, and a minus sign means that amount must be staked to return ৳100 profit. All three methods are just different ways of expressing the same thing — the market and return do not change. On the 29bet platform you can choose your preferred format in settings.

Odds Change With Every Wicket — Live In-Play Betting
The particular draw of in-play betting in cricket is that the situation shifts with every ball. If two wickets fall in the powerplay, the batting team's odds rise immediately and the bowling team's fall. Slow scoring in the middle overs increases pressure on the chasing side — that too is reflected in the odds.
There is little time to decide during live betting, so keep a few things in mind beforehand: how many overs remain, how many wickets have fallen, what the weather is like, and how the pitch is behaving. This information helps make your betting decisions more grounded. Bear in mind that cricket is always uncertain — betting is for entertainment, not a guaranteed way to make money.

Some Useful Tips Before You Start Betting
- Set a budget: Decide the maximum amount you will bet in each session before you start, and do not go beyond it.
- Focus on one market: Start with the match winner or toss market. Rather than trying to understand all markets at once, build confidence in one first.
- Be careful with multi bets: All three selections must win — if one loses, the whole bet is gone. Try it with a small stake first.
- Choose markets to match the format: Live betting works well in T20; in Test matches, remember to account for the draw option.
- Do not bet on emotion: Backing your favourite team is natural, but make every decision with a clear head. If you lose, do not immediately place a bigger bet to try to recover.
- Keep a betting record: Note which market you bet on, how much you staked, and what the result was. Tracking your own history shows you where you are doing well.
Football and Other Sports Betting
Alongside cricket, 29bet also offers betting on football and several other sports. Football generally uses a three-outcome market (1X2) — home win, draw, or away win. Markets for goalscorer, half-time score, and corner count are also available.
Football is lower-scoring than cricket, so a single goal can shift the odds for the entire match, making it especially important to follow live betting closely. In cricket, the situation changes every over, so betting opportunities keep coming around.

Multi Bet Example
Three selections from separate matches: odds 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.80
Combined odds: 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.80 = 4.32 (approximate)
A ৳100 bet returns ৳432 if all three selections win. If any one of them loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
