Cricket Betting at 299 apps — Bet on All Formats from BPL to the T20 World Cup
T20, One-Day, or Test — 299 apps lets you bet across a range of markets in every cricket format. From live betting during a match to multi bets, it's all available here.
Cricket's Three Formats and Bangladesh's Favourite Competitions
Understanding cricket betting starts with knowing the formats. Each format has its own bet types and strategies, so it's worth knowing the differences.
T20: The fastest format — 20 overs per side. Results can shift quickly, making live betting the most action-packed here. BPL and IPL are both played in this format. Bangladeshi fans and bettors pay special attention to BPL and the T20 World Cup.
ODI (One-Day International): 50 overs per side. A mid-paced game — top batsman or total runs markets are especially popular here. The ICC World Cup is played in this format.
Test Cricket: This five-day format moves at a slower pace. A draw is a valid result here, so the markets differ — options like match draw probability, innings runs, and session betting are available.
Beyond BPL and IPL, you can bet at 299 apps on the ICC T20 World Cup, Asia Cup, and bilateral series. Each tournament offers a variety of markets.
Football and Other Sports — How They Differ from Cricket
Alongside cricket, football is also popular at 299 apps. In Bangladesh, betting interest grows during the FIFA World Cup, Euro, and club football seasons. However, there are some fundamental differences between cricket and football betting structures.
Cricket Betting
No draws in limited-overs matches. In Tests, three results are possible — Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw. Odds change after every over and wicket. Total runs, top batsman, toss — these markets are unique to cricket.
Football Betting
A draw is a common result in football, so the 1X2 market is available. Handicap betting, corner count, and goalscorer markets are also popular. Each half offers separate betting opportunities.
Bets can also be placed on Kabaddi, tennis, and basketball. Each sport has its own market structure and odds that shift according to the pace of that sport.
Key Differences at a Glance
- Innings-based betting in cricket
- Half-time and full-time are separate in football
- Odds change when a wicket falls in cricket
- Immediate change after a goal in football
- Multi bets are possible in both sports
The Most Popular Betting Markets in Cricket
Understanding how each market works is the first step in cricket betting. Below are 7 main markets explained in plain terms.
Match Winner
A straightforward question — which team will win the match? In T20 or ODI there are two options; in Tests there are three (win, loss, draw). Example: Team A vs Team B — you pick Team B. If Team B wins, the bet is successful.
Toss Betting
Settled before the match starts — which team will win the toss? This is a pure 50/50 probability market. Odds are balanced, so results come quickly.
Top Batsman
Which batter will score the most runs in the match? You bet on the leading batter from one team. Example: picking the top run-scorer for Team A.
Total Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the total runs will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. Example: will total runs in a T20 match be more than 315 — you pick "over".
Multi Bet
Results from multiple matches are combined into one bet. You win only if all selections are correct, so the return is higher. Example: betting on three matches multiplies the odds together for a larger potential return.
Top Wicket-Taker
Which bowler will take the most wickets? This bet is harder on batter-friendly pitches and easier on pace-friendly ones. Example: picking Team B's leading bowler as the top wicket-taker.
First Over Runs Market
You can bet on how many runs will be scored in the first over of the match. This is especially popular in T20 since teams play aggressively during the powerplay. The core decision in this market is whether a given over will go "over 6 runs" or "under 6 runs".
How to Read Odds — Decimal, Fractional and American
Three odds formats are used around the world. With a little practice, any format becomes easy to understand.
| Format | Odds for Team A to Win | Total Return on ৳500 Bet | Profit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | ৳1,500 | ৳1,000 profit |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳1,500 | ৳1,000 profit |
| American | +200 | ৳1,500 | ৳1,000 profit |
Example 1 — Underdog Odds
If Team A wins with decimal odds of 3.00, that is the same as fractional 2/1 and American +200 — three ways to express the same value. A ৳500 bet returns ৳1,500 in total if it wins (৳1,000 profit + ৳500 stake). If it loses, the full ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite Odds
Team B is the favourite: decimal 1.80, fractional 4/5, American -125. American minus odds mean you need to bet ৳125 to win ৳100. A ৳500 bet returns ৳900 if it wins (৳400 profit + ৳500 stake).
Keep in mind: The higher the odds, the less expected that outcome is considered to be. In decimal format, no value below 1.00 is possible — that would mean you get back less than your original stake.
Live Betting — Odds Shift with Every Wicket and Over
One of the most engaging aspects of cricket is live or in-play betting. You can place bets after the match has started, and odds update instantly after every event.
For example — Team A is batting, has made a strong start in the powerplay, and no wickets have fallen. In this situation, Team A's odds of winning shorten (meaning they become the favourite) and Team B's odds lengthen. A key wicket could reverse this immediately.
Over-by-over markets are also available in live betting — how many runs will be scored in the next over, whether a wicket will fall on the next ball, and so on. These markets close quickly, so decisions need to be made fast.
To live bet on 299 apps Bet, follow the real-time score and make decisions based on how the match is developing. Remember — betting is for entertainment; think before each bet.
Some Practical Tips Before You Bet
- Know the format: T20, ODI, and Test markets differ. For whichever format you bet on most, get familiar with its rules and typical scores.
- Set a budget: Betting is entertainment, not a source of income. Decide how much you will spend per session in advance and do not go beyond that limit.
- Be careful with multi bets: Even though multi bets show higher potential returns, all selections must be correct. Adding more selections also increases the risk.
- Avoid rushing in live betting: In-play markets change fast. Rather than making decisions driven by emotion, assess the match situation before acting.
- Bet responsibly: Winning and losing are both a normal part of betting. Try to avoid chasing losses by placing larger bets to "recover". Read the responsible gaming guidelines.
Multi Bet Example
Say you place bets on three matches separately at decimal odds of 1.70, 1.80, and 1.90. The combined odds will be:
A ৳100 bet returns ৳581 if it wins — but if even one of the three loses, the full ৳100 is gone. Take that risk with full awareness.
