Cricket betting at ck 999 — place your bets on every match from BPL to the T20 World Cup
For people in Bangladesh, cricket is more than a sport — it is a passion. At ck 999, bring that passion together with the chance to bet on multiple markets per match, live in-play bets, and coverage across all formats.
Cricket's three formats and favourite competitions
Understanding formats is the most important part of cricket betting, because the type of markets available differs from one format to another. T20 matches typically finish in three to four hours — the run rate changes quickly in this format, creating good opportunities for live betting. ODI is a fifty-over match that calls for both strategy and patience; top batsman and total runs markets are most popular here. Test matches run over five days — you can bet on the match winner, a draw, or the outcome of a specific session.
On the competition side, BPL is closest to the hearts of Bangladesh fans. The country's best cricketers play in this franchise league, so every match draws strong interest. Alongside it, IPL is the biggest T20 league on the Indian subcontinent, featuring world-class performances every day. Bangladesh Tigers matches in the T20 World Cup and other ICC international tournaments generate widespread discussion across the country.
ck 999 offers betting on all these competitions. Various markets are open before and during each match, making it suitable for both new and experienced bettors.
Betting on football and other sports — how it differs from cricket
Alongside cricket, football is also very popular in Bangladesh. Betting on football is somewhat different from cricket — in cricket the match result is generally between two teams (no draw in T20 and ODI), whereas football has three possible outcomes including a draw, which changes how odds are formed.
Betting markets are also available for sports like tennis, hockey and badminton, but cricket leads in terms of volume and variety of betting options. In cricket, odds shift after every over and wicket, which keeps live betting more active.

Seven popular cricket markets — how each one works
You can bet on these markets at any time before or during a match. Each market works in its own way.
Match Winner
Pick which of the two teams will win. For example — in Team A vs Team B, you choose Team B; if Team B wins your bet wins, if Team A wins your bet loses. This is the simplest starting point in T20 and ODI.
Toss Winner
Predict which team will win the toss before the match starts. The outcome is entirely neutral — so odds for both teams are usually close in this market. Which team chooses to bat or bowl after winning the toss is a separate market.
Top Batsman
Pick who will score the most runs in the match. You can choose any batter from either team. Betting sites generally also offer a separate top scorer market for each individual team.
Total Runs Over/Under
A specific number is set — for example 165 runs. Do you think the total runs in the match will be more than that (over) or less (under)? Consider the teams' strength, pitch conditions and weather when deciding.
Top Bowler
Pick which bowler will take the most wickets. The pace vs spin contest and the nature of the pitch play an important role here. This market is especially popular in ODI and Test.
Multi Bet
Combine multiple selections into a single bet. For example — you pick three different teams to win three separate matches; if all three win, the odds multiply to give a much larger return, but if any one loses, the entire bet is lost.
First Over Runs
Pick how many runs will be scored in the first over of an innings. Aggressive batting during the powerplay makes this market particularly exciting in T20. It also delivers a quick result right at the start of the match.
Decimal, fractional and American — understanding odds formats simply
Cricket betting odds can be shown in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three formats carry the same information; only the way they are written differs. The two examples below will make things clear.
| Format | Team A to win (not favourite) | Team B to win (favourite) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.25 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 1/4 |
| American | +150 | -400 |
Example 1 — betting on Team A to win (৳1,000):
Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150 — three different expressions of the same bet. If Team A wins, the return is ৳2,500 (৳1,500 profit + ৳1,000 original stake); if Team A loses, ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — Team B as favourite (৳1,000):
Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400 — American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100. On a ৳1,000 bet, if Team B wins the return is ৳1,250 (৳250 profit).
The lower the odds, the more heavily favoured the team — and the lower the return. Higher odds mean a lower chance of winning, but the payout is greater if you do win. For general betting rules, read the terms and conditions.
Odds shift with every wicket — live in-play betting
Live betting means placing bets while the match is in progress. In cricket, odds change with every ball, every over and every wicket — that is what sets live betting apart.
Say Team A has scored 75 runs in 6 overs in a T20 match without losing a wicket. Their odds of winning the match will drop significantly at that point. But if three wickets then fall in the next two overs, the odds will shift again quickly — the other team's chances will rise.
In ODI, you can watch how the pitch is behaving after the powerplay, and whether the run rate is dropping in the middle overs, then make decisions in the live market. In Test matches, the situation can change completely by the end of a session.

A few pointers that are useful in cricket betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — there is no guarantee of profit. Keeping a few things in mind can make the experience more straightforward.
Start with one market
In the beginning, choose a simple market like match winner. Starting with multiple markets at once makes it hard to keep track.
Set a budget in advance
Decide how much you will bet before each match. Betting is entertainment, so it is not a good idea to bet beyond your budget. Find more advice on the responsible gaming page.
Check pitch and weather reports
Spin-friendly pitches tend to produce lower total runs. Rain can change the result via the DLS method — which affects the market.
Stick to fewer selections in a multi bet
Adding more selections to a multi bet increases the potential return, but losing even one means losing everything. It is better not to go beyond three or four selections. See the multi bet example in the markets section above.
Avoid rushing in live betting
Because odds change quickly, live decisions can sometimes feel rushed. Stick to the markets you already understand.
