gt99 Cricket Betting — Best Odds in Bangladesh, Live Markets and a Simple Guide
From T20 to Test, BPL to ICC — a complete guide at gt99 on how to bet on every format, read odds, and understand different markets.
Cricket's Three Formats and Popular Tournaments
Each format has its own pace and strategy — and the differences are just as significant from a betting perspective.
T20 — Fast-Paced Action
T20 cricket is the most popular format among Bangladeshi fans. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), IPL, and T20 World Cup matches see a lot of swings in a short time, so odds change quickly. A few wickets in one over or a burst of quick runs can completely shift the picture.
ODI — A Game of Patience: In a fifty-over match, a team's strategy through the middle overs matters greatly. For betting, the odds in the post-powerplay phase need to be assessed differently.
Test — A Five-Day Test of Patience: In Test cricket, a draw is a valid result, so the market splits into three options — Team A win, Team B win, and draw. Pitch conditions and weather directly influence the odds here.
BPL
The Bangladesh Premier League is the country's biggest T20 franchise tournament. Made up of local and overseas cricketers, each match in the league brings sides of different strengths against each other.
T20IPL and International T20
IPL is one of the biggest T20 leagues in the world and is hugely popular among Bangladeshi fans. Bangladesh Tigers matches at the T20 World Cup and ICC Champions Trophy receive particular attention.
InternationalICC Tournaments and Bilateral Series
ICC World Cups, the World Test Championship, and bilateral series provide matches across all formats on a regular basis. Each series has its own context, so betting markets differ from one to the next.
ICC7 Popular Markets — What You Can Bet On
In cricket, betting goes beyond just the match winner — there are many types of markets that continue to change as the game unfolds.
Match Winner
The simplest market — a bet on which team will win. In a T20 match, if Team A's odds are 1.80 and Team B's are 2.00, a ৳500 bet on Team B returns ৳1,000 if Team B wins.
Toss Winner
A bet on which team wins the toss before the match starts. The result is completely separate — pitch or form has no bearing, making this an independent market.
Top Batsman
A bet on who will score the most runs in a specific innings. Knowing which players are batting and their position in the order makes this market easier to assess.
Total Runs Over/Under
A reference line is set for the total runs in the full match or first innings. You bet on whether the actual runs will go over or stay under that line.
Multi Bet
A bet that combines selections from multiple matches into one. If three separate selections have odds of 1.40, 1.50, and 1.70, the combined odds are 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.70 = 3.57 (approximately), so a ৳100 stake returns ৳357 if all win — but if one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Top Wicket-Taker
A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in the match. Pitch behaviour and the team's bowling plan play a big role in this market.
Handicap Betting
When two teams are unevenly matched, the weaker team is given a virtual advantage. If Team A is set at -1.5 runs, they must not just win — they must win by at least that margin.
Three Odds Formats — How to Read Them
The same price is written in three ways — decimal, fractional, and American. The examples below make the differences clear.
| Format | Team A (Underdog) | Team B (Favourite) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.25 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 1/4 |
| American | +125 | -400 |
Bet on Team A (৳200): If Team A wins, you get back ৳450 (৳250 profit plus your original ৳200 stake). If Team A loses, ৳200 is gone.
Bet on Team B (৳200): If Team B wins, you get back ৳250 (৳50 profit). American odds of -400 mean you need to stake ৳400 to make ৳100 profit.
Which format is shown at gt99?
gt99 generally displays decimal odds by default — in this format, the total return is straightforward to understand. Multiply your stake by the odds to get your full return.

In-Play Betting — Odds Shift When a Wicket Falls
During a match, odds change from moment to moment — that is what makes live betting distinct.
- When a wicket falls: The batting team's odds rise quickly and the bowling team's odds fall — because the next batsman's performance is uncertain.
- After a big over: When fours and sixes push the run rate up and bring the target closer, the batting team's odds shorten — so decisions need to be made fast.
- Duckworth-Lewis (DLS) situation: If rain reduces overs and the target is revised, markets suspend briefly and reopen once the new target is set.
- Final-over betting: Odds change most frequently in the last five overs — markets update often based on the match situation and the required run rate at that point.
- Live betting on mobile: Use the gt99 App to view live odds and place bets from the ground or anywhere else.
What to Know Before Starting Cricket Betting
Whether you are new or experienced, keeping a few basic points in mind makes the game more enjoyable.
Start with one market
Start with just the match winner market. Once you are comfortable reading odds, move on to top batsman or over/under.
Set a Budget Beforehand
Betting is part of the entertainment — decide how much you are willing to spend before you start and stick to that limit. Do not chase losses by placing more bets.
Avoid Rushing in Live Betting
In-play odds move fast, so avoid making decisions in the heat of the moment. Take in the overall picture of the match before placing a bet.
Be careful with multi bets
Returns look large in a multi bet, but every selection must be correct. Adding more than three selections also increases the chance of the whole bet losing.
Football and Other Sports — How They Differ from Cricket
Alongside cricket, football betting is also available at gt99. Football typically has three possible results — home team win, away team win, and draw. T20 cricket has no draw (apart from a Super Over), so the market is split between two options. Keeping this basic difference in mind makes it easier to compare odds across the two sports.
Badminton betting runs at a different pace from cricket — singles and doubles matches have game-based and point-based markets. The gt99 badminton betting guide covers these differences in detail.
If you want a break from cricket betting, you can enjoy live table games in the virtual casino section — live games from Evolution and other studios are available there.
