Cricket Betting at gb99 — Bet on BPL, IPL and International Matches
From T20 to Test, from domestic BPL to international tournaments — gb99 offers betting on every format of cricket. Bet across multiple markets including match winner, toss and top batsman, and enjoy live betting.
Cricket Formats and Tournaments
In Bangladesh, cricket is more than a sport — it is passion and celebration. T20, ODI and Test are three formats that each have a completely different style of play and a different approach to betting. In T20 matches, results change fast and every ball can turn the game around. In ODI, the two teams fight a balanced contest where each side gets the chance to build an innings. Test matches run for five days — reading the situation is what matters most here.
BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) is the most familiar tournament for Bangladeshi fans. After that come IPL, ICC T20 World Cup and various bilateral series. If you follow these competitions, gb99 offers a good range of betting markets. Interest is naturally highest when the Bangladesh Tigers are playing.
Before betting on any format, it helps to understand that format. In T20, the form of the middle-order batters matters; in Test, pitch behaviour and weather play a role. Keep these factors in mind and enjoy betting as a form of entertainment — remember, that is what it is.
T20 Cricket
A fast-paced 20-over format. This format is the most popular in BPL and IPL. Every wicket and boundary causes an immediate change in odds.
ODI Cricket
In a 50-over match, both teams compete on equal terms. ICC tournaments feature head-to-head contests between top sides in ODI format.
Test Cricket
This five-day format is a test of patience and strategy. Because a draw is possible, the betting markets are a different kind altogether.
Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, gb99 also offers football betting. Interest in football is growing in Bangladesh, especially during the World Cup and European leagues. Football matches last 90 minutes and a draw is possible, so there are three outcomes to bet on — Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw.
Cricket tends to offer more specialty markets — toss, number of wickets, highest-scoring batsman and so on. Football mainly has markets like match result, number of goals and first goalscorer. The betting structure of the two sports is so different that experience in one may not directly transfer to the other.
Beyond cricket, gb99 also offers markets for kabaddi, badminton and other sports. In every case, it is wise to understand the rules before placing a bet.
Popular Betting Markets
gb99 offers multiple markets for cricket betting. Below is a brief introduction to seven familiar markets:
Match Winner
Betting on which team will win the match is the most straightforward market. For example, Team A vs Team B — if you think Team A is the favourite, you can bet on them.
Toss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. In T20, the toss carries more weight due to pitch conditions and the dew factor.
Top Batsman
Bet on which batsman will score the most runs for their team. For example, picking any batsman to be the highest scorer for Team B.
Total Runs Over/Under
This market is about whether the total runs scored in a match will be above or below a set number. For example, whether total runs will exceed 300.
Multi Bet
Combine multiple matches or markets into a single bet. If all selections are correct, the return increases, but if any one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Innings Runs
Bet on how many runs a team will score in a specific innings. In T20, predicting the run trend after the powerplay is also part of this market.
Wicket Market
Bet on how many wickets will fall in a specific innings or which bowler will take the most wickets. This market is popular on pace-bowling-friendly pitches.
How to Understand Odds
Betting odds are written in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same information in different ways. gb99 generally uses decimal format as it is the easiest to read.
Example 1 — The same odds in three formats
Team A to win, bet ৳500. Decimal 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200. If the bet wins, you get back ৳1,500 (৳1,000 profit + ৳500 stake). If the bet loses, ৳500 is gone.
To find the total return on decimal odds, multiply the bet amount by the odds. Fractional 2/1 means ৳2 profit for every ৳1. American +200 means ৳200 profit on a ৳100 bet.
Example 2 — Favourite's odds
Team B to win, bet ৳500. Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400. If the bet wins, you get back ৳625 (৳125 profit).
A favourite's odds are lower because they are considered more likely to win. American minus odds (-400) mean you need to bet ৳400 to make ৳100 profit.
Compare odds across different markets. Decimal odds of 1.00 mean no profit. 2.00 means you get double your bet back. Higher odds mean a potentially higher return, but less certainty.
Live In-Play Betting
Placing bets in real time while a match is in progress is called live in-play betting. In this mode, odds change with every ball. If a wicket falls quickly, the batting team's odds rise; if a big over happens during the powerplay, the fielding team comes under pressure.
Live betting in T20 is particularly interesting — if Team B suddenly loses 2 wickets in the 15th over, Team A's odds of winning will drop immediately. If the required run rate becomes very high in the last 5 overs, the defending team's odds shorten.
In live betting, decisions have to be made fast. So stay within your budget before placing a bet. Reading the responsible gaming guidelines will help you understand how to bet safely.
When a wicket falls
The batting team's odds rise and the bowling team's odds drop.
After a big over
When runs come quickly, the batting team's chances of winning increase.
Each over
Odds are recalculated at the end of every over.
Run rate
As the required run rate rises, the chasing team is under more pressure.
Multi Bet and Combined Odds
A multi bet combines multiple selections together. If all selections are correct, the return is much higher, but if any one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Multi Bet Example
Decimal odds for three selections: 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.90 = 4.56 (approximate).
A ৳100 bet returns ৳456 — but only if all three selections are correct.
If even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost. Keep the risk in mind before adding more selections to a multi bet.
Alongside cricket, gb99 also offers various games in the Slots section, where a different kind of strategy comes into play.
Some Practical Betting Tips
Starting with the mindset that cricket betting is entertainment makes for a better experience. The following points may be useful to keep in mind:
Bet with an understanding of the format
The betting structure for T20 and Test is different. Betting on the format you know better is naturally more enjoyable.
Set your budget beforehand
Decide on a fixed amount for each betting session. Do not go beyond that limit. Betting is for entertainment, not a way to recover losses.
Focus on understanding one market well
Start with simple markets like match winner. Rather than spreading bets across many markets at once, build skill in one market first.
Be patient in live betting
Making rushed decisions in in-play betting can be harmful. Even when odds are changing fast, bet based on your own judgement.
Keep the number of selections low in multi bets
The more selections in a multi bet, the greater the risk. Starting with 2–3 selections is safer.
Watch the pitch and weather
Rain or the nature of the pitch can have a big impact on T20 and ODI matches. Checking this information before the match is useful.
