Cricket Betting at 995bet – Bet on T20, ODI and Test Matches
Bangladesh's most popular sport just got more interesting — 995bet offers markets on all major tournaments from BPL and IPL to the T20 World Cup.
T20, ODI and Test — three formats, three experiences
Cricket is played in three main international formats, and the type of betting differs in each. T20 matches finish in just a few hours, so results change quickly and live betting is very active. BPL and IPL are two major examples of this format — Bangladeshi fans follow both leagues with keen interest.
ODI has 50 overs, so the pace is a little slower, but there is greater variety in markets covering scores, wickets and partnerships. Test matches test patience over five days — a draw is a valid result, so markets are built around three possibilities (team A wins, team B wins, draw). 995bet offers detailed markets for the T20 World Cup and ICC tournaments.

How football and other sports betting differs
Besides cricket, you can bet on football, tennis, badminton and more at 995bet. In football a draw is always a possibility, so markets are split across three outcomes — just like Test cricket. In T20 or ODI, however, there is usually only a win or loss between two teams, with no draw.
Football has markets for yellow and red cards, corners and goalscorers. Cricket has top batsman, toss, wickets and highest partnership — markets you will not find in football. Whatever the sport, betting is for entertainment — keep it within your means.
7 markets played most often in cricket
Here is a simple example to explain each market — the numbers are for illustration only, not live odds.
Match Winner
Bet on which team will win the match. Team A or team B — just two options in T20 and ODI. The simplest and most popular market.
Toss Winner
Which team wins the toss — a market settled right before the match begins. The result is entirely random and has no direct connection to playing form.
Top Batsman
Which batsman will score the most runs in the match — you can pick any player from team A or team B. This market is popular in games where long innings are more likely.
Total Runs Over/Under
Whether the total runs scored will be above or below a set number — that is the over/under market. Example: you can bet on either side of the question of whether total runs will exceed 160.
Top Bowler
Which bowler will take the most wickets — this market is quite active in T20 because four or five wickets can easily go to one bowler.
Multi Bet
Combining multiple matches or markets multiplies the odds and increases the potential return — but one wrong selection and the whole bet is lost. A detailed example is given in the odds section below.
Handicap Betting
To reduce the gap between two teams, one side is given a virtual head start or deficit on paper. The stronger team must win by a larger run margin, otherwise the bettor who backed the weaker team wins.
Decimal, Fractional and American — three ways to write odds
Different sites display odds in three formats. The same probability is shown in three ways — the value remains the same. The two examples below will make this clear.
| Format | Team A (not the favourite) | Team B (favourite) | What the result means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | 1.25 | Total return to the right of the scale (including stake) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | 1/4 | Profit shown on the left for every unit staked on the right |
| American | +200 | -400 | + means profit on a 100 stake; - means the stake needed to profit 100 |
Example 1 — ৳200 bet on Team A
If team A wins, decimal 3.00 means total return ৳600 (৳400 profit + ৳200 stake back). The same bet is written as fractional 2/1 or American +200. If team A loses, the full ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — ৳200 bet on favourite Team B
Team B is the favourite — decimal 1.25, fractional 1/4, American -400. If team B wins, a ৳200 stake returns ৳250 in total (৳50 profit). The American minus odds mean: you need to stake 400 to profit 100.
Multi bet example — three selections
Combining decimal odds of 1.50, 1.60 and 1.70 across three matches gives combined odds of 4.08 (rounded). A ৳100 stake returns ৳408 if all three selections are correct. But if even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost. Multi bets can be appealing, but the risk is higher.
Odds shift as the game unfolds — that is the appeal of live betting
Cricket live betting moves faster than almost any other sport. Every wicket, every six or run-out changes the odds instantly. If a team has lost fewer wickets by the tenth over, their chances of winning improve and their odds shorten.
Once the powerplay ends or the death overs begin, understanding which way the odds are moving makes live betting more interesting. Keep in mind though — odds change quickly, so if you take too long to decide, the market may close.
Live cricket betting is available in the 995bet Bet section, where you can join various markets while a match is in progress.
Some useful advice for new bettors
Betting is a form of entertainment — keeping these points in mind will help you have a better experience.
Understand one market well
Start by focusing on straightforward markets like match winner or total runs. Trying to follow many complex markets at once leads to confusion.
Set a budget
Decide in advance how much you are willing to spend. Going beyond that limit is not a good idea — read the responsible gaming guidelines.
Know the odds format
Decimal, fractional and American — once you are comfortable with any one of the three, working out the numbers becomes much easier.
Be patient in live betting
Odds move fast in live betting. Take a moment to read the flow of the match before placing your bet rather than rushing.
