Cricket Betting at 4b99 — Follow Every Ball of BPL, IPL and T20 World Cup
From before the first ball to the final over — bet across dozens of markets including match winner, toss, top batsman and over/under. This page has a guide to understanding odds, live betting strategy and practical tips.
Three Cricket Formats and Popular Tournaments
T20
A 20-over match — T20 is the most watched format in Bangladesh for its fast results, big shots and tense moments. BPL and the T20 World Cup are the favourite events for Bangladeshi fans.
ODI
This 50-over format blends strategy with patience. The Bangladesh Tigers' performances in the ICC Cricket World Cup and bilateral series are always a talking point.
Test
This five-day format is cricket's longest test. Pitch conditions, weather and session-by-session turning points mean that analysing information matters more in Test betting.
Betting on Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, 4b99 also offers football betting. Match winner, goalscorer and Asian handicap markets are available for the Premier League, La Liga and international matches.
There are some key differences between the cricket and football betting experience. In cricket, innings, overs, partnerships and the Duckworth-Lewis method can all affect the outcome of a bet — none of these exist in football. On the other hand, the draw result in football creates a different betting structure, since limited-overs cricket generally does not end in a draw.
Betting markets are also available for sports like Kabaddi, Badminton and Tennis. Among Bangladeshi users, however, cricket betting is by far the most popular — because the Tigers' matches are not just a game for us, they are a national feeling.
5 Popular Markets Chosen by Cricket Fans
Match Winner
The simplest market — which team will win the match? In T20 there is no draw, so there are only two possible results. Example: Team A to win — if Team A wins the bet pays out, otherwise it loses.
All FormatsToss Winner
Which team will win the toss before the match starts — this is a 50/50 market that is straightforward but popular. There is no way to predict a toss outcome.
Pre-MatchTop Batsman
Which player will score the most runs for their team? Form, pitch conditions and batting order all play an important role in this market.
Player MarketTotal Runs Over/Under
Will the total runs in an innings or across the whole match be more (over) or less (under) than a set line? The pitch and team batting strength are the key to reading this market.
TotalsMulti Bet (Accumulator)
Combine the results of several matches in a single bet. If all selections are correct the payout is much higher, but a single wrong selection loses the entire bet. Example: Team A, Team C and Team E all to win — if all three are correct, the reward is paid at the combined odds.
Multiple MatchesTop Wicket-Taker
Which bowler will take the most wickets in the match? If the pitch favours fast bowling, attention goes to the pace bowlers; if it is spin-friendly, the spinners are worth watching.
Bowler MarketHow to Read and Calculate Odds
The odds for the same match can be written in three different formats — decimal, fractional and American. The example below shows that all three express the same value.
| Format | Team A wins | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | Total return of ৳2.25 per ৳1 staked |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳5 profit for every ৳4 staked |
| American | +125 | ৳125 profit on a ৳100 bet |
Example 1 — Team A to win (৳200 bet)
Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125. If the bet wins, total return is ৳450 (৳250 profit + ৳200 stake). If the bet loses, ৳200 is lost.
Example 2 — Favourite Team B to win (৳200 bet)
Decimal 1.50 = Fractional 1/2 = American -200. A negative American figure shows how much you need to bet to win ৳100. On a ৳200 bet, total return is ৳300 (৳100 profit).
Calculating a Multi Bet
Three selections — decimal 1.50, 1.70 and 1.90 — combined in a multi bet give combined odds of 1.50 × 1.70 × 1.90 = 4.84 (approximately). On a ৳100 bet the return is ৳484 — but only if all three selections are correct. One wrong selection and the entire ৳100 is lost.

Live Betting — Odds Shift with Every Wicket and Over
In-play or live betting lets you place bets in real time while the match is in progress. With pre-match betting you make decisions based only on information available before the match starts, but with live betting you can react to how the match is unfolding.
Odds change quickly after each wicket. For example — if the team that won the toss and chose to bat is 30 for 2 after 5 overs, the opponent's odds may shorten. Equally, a strong powerplay score can shift the batting team's odds dramatically.
In-play markets typically include not just match winner but also runs in the next over, method of next wicket, and six/four markets. Every ball brings a new opportunity, so watching the match closely is important.
Live betting comes with time pressure — decisions need to be made quickly. That is why it is important to set your budget before placing bets and to follow the responsible gaming guidelines.

Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Decide how much you can afford to spend before each match. Betting is entertainment — you need to be prepared to accept losses.
Starting with T20 betting is easier because matches are short and results come quickly. Gradually build your knowledge of ODI and Test betting over time.
Pitch reports and weather have a big impact on betting markets. If rain is forecast, the match may be decided by the Duckworth-Lewis method.
Multi bets offer bigger odds but a single wrong selection ends the entire bet. Until you have more experience, it is better not to combine more than 2–3 selections.
If your favourite team falls behind, placing extra bets out of emotion is not a good idea. Make decisions with a clear head.

Betting Exchange — A Simple Guide to BACK and LAY
In standard betting you bet against the bookmaker. In a betting exchange you bet against other users — there are two roles: BACK (betting that someone will win) and LAY (betting that someone will lose).
BACK — Team A to win (৳500 bet, decimal 1.80)
If Team A wins, ৳400 profit before commission. If they do not win, ৳500 is lost.
LAY — Team A to lose (৳500 backer stake, decimal 1.80)
Your liability is ৳500 × 0.80 = ৳400. If Team A does not win, ৳500 profit before commission. If Team A wins, you pay ৳400.
In exchange betting, commission is charged on both sides. In cricket live markets, BACK and LAY odds change with every ball, so bet carefully.
