joining 99 Cricket Betting — Bet on BPL, IPL and International Matches
Bet on every format from T20 to Test. From understanding odds to live betting — joining 99 adds a new dimension to your cricket experience.
Cricket's Three Formats and Major Tournaments
The betting experience differs across formats. Knowing the format makes betting easier.
T20 — The Fast Game
Just 20 overs per side, with results coming quickly. BPL and IPL are two huge T20 tournaments that are very popular with fans in Bangladesh. The T20 World Cup also draws its own wave of interest each time it is held. This format produces high scores and odds shift fast.
ODI — The Fifty-Over Contest
Each side plays 50 overs in a one-day match. The ICC World Cup and major bilateral series are played in this format. The longer game allows for shifts in strategy, and the betting markets are varied.
Test — The True Test of Cricket
In a five-day Test match three outcomes are possible — win, loss or draw. That third possibility is what sets Test betting apart from the other two formats. Betting on Bangladesh Tigers' Test matches is a different experience altogether.
BPL and IPL — Two Favourite Tournaments in Bangladesh
BPL is Bangladesh's own franchise league, generating huge interest every season. IPL is one of the biggest T20 leagues in the world — you can bet on team performances across various markets at joining 99.
For international cricket, match-by-match betting is also available for the T20 World Cup and other ICC events. All formats are available at joining 99 Bet.
Football and Other Sports Betting
Alongside cricket, joining 99 also offers football and several other sports betting markets.
Football Betting
In a 90-minute football match three outcomes are possible — home win, away win or draw. That extra outcome changes the entire odds structure. In T20 cricket there is no draw, so odds for the same market differ between the two sports. Football-specific markets such as half-time/full-time result or number of goals do not exist in cricket.
Other Sports and How They Compare to Cricket
In head-to-head sports like badminton or tennis only two outcomes are possible — similar to T20 cricket. However, cricket has unique options such as over-by-over markets, wicket betting and powerplay runs markets that are not found in other sports. That is what makes cricket betting so varied.
5 Popular Betting Markets — A Simple Guide
Learn how to bet in each market. Each market requires its own approach.
Match Winner
Which team will win — this is the most straightforward market. In T20 or ODI you simply choose between two teams. Example: in a match between Team A and Team B, if you pick Team B and they win, the bet pays out; if Team A wins, you lose.
Toss Betting
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match begins. Each team's chance is roughly 50/50, so odds are usually close. The result has no connection to the match outcome — it is an independent bet.
Top Run Scorer
Which batter will score the most runs in the match — this market lists several players from a team. Pick the right name and the bet wins. A player's current form and pitch conditions play a role in making this call.
Total Runs — Over/Under
The platform sets a specific run line. You bet on whether the total runs will be above that line (over) or below it (under). Example: line 160.5 — if total runs are 161 or more, over wins; if 160 or fewer, under wins.
Multi Bet
Multiple matches or markets combined into one bet. If all selections win the return is large; if even one loses the entire bet is lost. For example, three selections with decimal odds of 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.80 = 3.78 — a ৳100 bet returns ৳378, but only if all three win.
Powerplay Runs
An over/under bet on how many runs will be scored in the first 6 overs. It covers only the opening phase of the innings and depends on the pitch and the openers' form. Because it is settled quickly, it is a popular option in live betting.
How Odds Work — Three Formats
The same price is expressed in three different ways. Understanding any one of them is enough to calculate a bet.
| Format | Team A (example) | Team B (example) | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.80 | Multiply the stake by the odds to get the total return |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 4/5 | Profit-to-stake ratio |
| American | +150 | -125 | + means profit on ৳100 staked; − means how much to stake to win ৳100 |
Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150. A winning ৳1,000 bet gives a total return of ৳2,500 (৳1,500 profit + ৳1,000 original stake); if it loses, ৳1,000 is gone.
Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American −125 (minus odds mean how much you need to stake to win ৳100 profit). A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,800 (৳800 profit).
Why are decimal odds the easiest?
- Multiply your stake directly to get the total return — no extra calculation needed.
- Many betting platforms in Bangladesh show decimal odds by default.
- A smaller number means favourite, a larger number means underdog — easy to read.
- In a multi bet, multiply the odds of all selections together to get the combined odds.
- American −125 means a ৳125 stake wins ৳100 profit — a little more calculation involved.
How Odds Shift When a Wicket Falls
Live betting means placing bets while the match is in progress — odds update with every ball.
The odds set before the match change constantly during live betting. If Team A scores quickly in the powerplay, their odds of winning shorten (probability increases), while Team B's odds lengthen.
When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds rise sharply because scoring more runs with fewer wickets in hand becomes harder. The bowling team's chances of winning improve, so their odds shorten. This movement is what makes live betting different.
If the required run rate climbs higher than the target over-by-over, odds in the runs-per-over market also shift quickly. joining 99 gives you the opportunity to act on these live moments.
Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — following these simple habits keeps the experience enjoyable.
- Set your budget first: Decide how much you will bet before each session. Do not go beyond that limit.
- Understand the format first: Test cricket has draws, T20 does not — keep this difference in mind when choosing a market.
- Focus on one market: Rather than betting on many markets at once, concentrating on one or two makes things easier to follow.
- No rushing in live betting: Odds change fast, but hurried decisions are often the wrong ones.
- Be careful with multi bets: Combined odds may look large, but losing even one selection means losing the entire bet — keep that risk in mind.
- Match winner is the best starting point: For beginners, the match winner market is the most straightforward — just pick one of two options.
- Betting is entertainment, not a profession: Cricket betting at joining 99 adds to the enjoyment of the game — it is better not to treat it as a regular source of income.
- Confirm you are 21+: All betting activity is for those aged 21 and above only.
