Cricket Formats and Popular Tournaments
Before getting into cricket betting, it helps to have a clear understanding of the three formats — T20, ODI and Test. Each format has a different pace, duration and strategy, so the betting markets work differently too.
T20: A match of just 20 overs, so things change fast. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), IPL and the T20 World Cup are the three tournaments most popular among Bangladeshi fans. In T20, toss, powerplay runs and match-winner markets attract the most interest.
ODI: In the 50-over format, the game is built at a somewhat slower pace. Bangladeshi bettors are most active during the Tigers' international ODI series and ICC tournaments. Series result and top run-scorer markets are especially popular here.
Test: In a five-day match, a draw is a valid result, so the market structure is different. First-innings lead, wicket markets and innings-by-innings markets are used more frequently here.
Football and Other Sports
Football betting is a little different from cricket — a draw is always a possible result, so the 1X2 market gives you three sides to bet on. Interest among Bangladeshi bettors in the FIFA World Cup, UEFA Champions League and BPL football continues to grow. Goal-scorer, half-time score and handicap markets are also popular.
29bet also offers betting on kabaddi, badminton and tennis. These sports have fewer markets than cricket, but the main ones (match winner, set/game winner) are readily available. Those who enjoy casino games can also play live and slot games at 29bet Casino.
Popular Betting Markets
Cricket betting offers much more than just match-winner markets. Below are the most familiar markets with a brief example of each.
Match Winner
This market is simply about which of the two teams will win. Example: Team A faces Team B in a T20 — you pick Team B, and if Team B wins, your bet is settled as a win.
Easiest to understandToss Betting
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The outcome is entirely random, so both sides usually have nearly equal odds.
Settled before the matchTop Run-Scorer
Which batter will score the most runs in an innings or the full match? You bet on the batter from Team A you think will perform best.
Batting marketTotal Runs Over/Under
The bookmaker sets a line — for example, 165 runs. You bet on whether the team's total runs will be above that figure (over) or below it (under).
Total runsMulti Bet
Multiple selections are combined into one bet. If all selections win, the return is much larger — but if any single selection loses, the entire bet is lost.
Higher returnTop Wicket-Taker
A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in an innings. In T20, this market gets a lot of attention for death-over bowlers.
Bowling marketHow to Read Odds
29bet generally displays odds in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. Decimal is the most familiar in Bangladesh, but it is worth understanding the other two as well.
| Format | Team A to win | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Total return is 2.5 times the stake |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳3 profit for every ৳2 wagered |
| American | +150 | ৳150 profit on a ৳100 bet |
Example 1 — Team A to win (underdog): Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150. A ৳200 bet returns a total of ৳500 if won (৳300 profit + ৳200 stake); if lost, ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — Team B to win (favourite): Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American -125. With American minus odds, the number shown is how much you need to bet to win ৳100. A ৳200 bet returns a total of ৳360 (৳160 profit).
Live In-Play — Betting During the Match
The biggest difference between standard pre-match betting and live in-play betting is timing. In pre-match, you place your bet before the match starts; in in-play, you can bet on real-time odds while the match is in progress.
In cricket, odds change immediately with every wicket, every run scored or not scored in an over. Say Team A loses two wickets in the powerplay — Team A's odds to win may lengthen because they are under pressure. That moment creates a new opportunity for bettors.
Live betting on 29bet's mobile platform is easy from anywhere outside Dhaka too. Over-by-over run markets, next wicket markets and ball-by-ball boundary markets are especially popular in live in-play.
Reading the responsible betting guide before making betting decisions will give you useful information on bankroll management.
Understanding Multi Bet Calculations
In a multi bet (accumulator), multiple selections are added together and each selection's odds are multiplied. This means the total return can be much larger — but the risk is higher too.
Example — 3-Selection Multi Bet
- Selection 1: Decimal odds 1.40
- Selection 2: Decimal odds 1.60
- Selection 3: Decimal odds 1.70
- Combined odds: 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.70 = 3.81 (rounded)
- Return on a ৳100 bet: ৳381 — only if all three selections win
If any single selection loses, the entire ৳100 is lost.
Keeping stakes small in a multi bet is good practice, because one wrong selection ends the whole bet. In cricket, you can build a multi bet using the winners of three different matches — but T20 matches can sometimes have their results changed by rain or other factors, so it is important to know the rules for each event.
Before you start betting, it is worth reading 29bet's terms and conditions — especially the match-cancellation rule for multi bets.
Handicap and Over/Under Markets
In a handicap market, one team is given an advantage or disadvantage. Example: if Team A is given a −10 run handicap, 10 runs are deducted from Team A's score when settling the result. In an over/under market, you bet on whether the total runs will be above or below a set line — this is the most straightforward total market.
Practical Betting Tips
-
01
Set a fixed budget. Decide how much you will bet before each session. Using a small portion of your total balance per bet makes sessions more sustainable over time.
-
02
Choose markets that suit the format. High-scoring markets like over/under are more relevant in T20; wicket and innings markets give more specific information in Test matches.
-
03
Do not rush in live betting. Odds change quickly in-play, so it is wiser to keep your eye on the screen and make decisions after an over is complete.
-
04
Keep selections low in a multi bet. Adding more than three selections quickly reduces the chance of all winning. Betting is for entertainment — not a way to get rich fast.
-
05
Keep your personal information secure. Access your account safely on the 29bet login page and do not share your password with anyone.
