29bet Cricket Betting — bet across all formats from BPL to T20 World Cup
From match winner, toss and top batsman to live in-play markets — 29bet gives you the chance to bet on every moment of cricket. Alongside BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup and international cricket, you will also find football and many other sports here.
Cricket Formats and Tournaments — how does betting work in each?
In Bangladesh, cricket is more than a sport — it is a feeling. 29bet adds a new dimension to that feeling through betting. Before placing a bet, it helps to know that strategy varies by format.
| Format | Overs | Popular Tournaments | Betting Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| T20 | 20 | BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup | Fast-paced matches, odds shift ball by ball, most popular format for live betting |
| ODI | 50 | ICC World Cup, Asia Cup, bilateral series | Medium-paced matches, more mid-innings markets available, over/under market is very active |
| Test | Until declaration | ICC World Test Championship, bilateral series | Played over five days, draw is a possible result, long-term markets are available |
Bangladeshi fans are most interested in BPL because the country's top cricketers take part. IPL is also hugely popular — full of familiar faces. And when the Tigers play in an ICC tournament, the excitement is on another level. 29bet offers betting markets for all these competitions.
Beyond cricket, football also has a major place at 29bet. Premier League, La Liga or international matches — football has three possible outcomes (team A wins, team B wins or draw), so the odds differ from cricket. In limited-overs cricket there are no draws, so odds are split between the two teams. Understanding this difference is important before you start betting. You can see the full list of sports markets on 29bet Bet.
Popular Betting Markets — what does each market involve?
29bet offers many types of cricket betting markets. Each one works differently and is bet on in a different way. Here is a simple introduction to seven popular markets.
Match Winner
You bet on which of the two teams will win. Example: team A odds 1.80, team B odds 2.00 — if you place ৳500 on team B and they win, the total return is ৳1,000.
Toss Betting
You predict which team will win the toss before the match begins. It is a fifty-fifty market, but many people take an interest based on pitch conditions or the weather.
Top Batsman
You bet on which batsman will score the most runs for a team. Many find this market appealing when read alongside the innings situation.
Total Runs Over / Under
You bet on whether the total runs in a match or innings will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. The pitch type and the team's batting lineup are worth factoring in.
Top Wicket-Taker
You bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in the match. Whether the pitch favours pace or spin can often influence the outcome.
Multi Bet
Multiple bets are combined into one. For example, if you pick the results of three separate matches, the odds are multiplied — but if even one is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
First Innings Run Lead (Test Betting)
In a Test match, you can bet on which team will take the lead by scoring more runs in the first innings. Over five days the pitch changes gradually — that plays a big role in this market.
How to read odds — three formats
29bet may display odds in three familiar formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three carry the same information, just written differently. The two examples below explain how each works.
Example 1 — underdog odds
3.00 = 2/1 = +200Placing ৳200 on team A to win: decimal 3.00 means total return ৳600 (৳400 profit + ৳200 stake). Fractional 2/1 means ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked. American +200 means ৳200 profit on a ৳100 bet. If the bet loses, ৳200 is gone.
This is an explanatory example only — actual odds vary by match and market.
Example 2 — favourite odds
1.50 = 1/2 = -200Team B is the favourite, so the odds are lower. At decimal 1.50, a ৳200 bet returns ৳300 total (৳100 profit). Fractional 1/2 means ৳1 profit for every ৳2 staked. American -200 means you need to stake ৳200 to win ৳100 profit — that is what the minus sign means.
Returns are lower on a favourite, but the chance of winning is considered comparatively higher.
LIVE Live In-Play Betting — odds shift the moment a wicket falls
Live betting means placing a bet while the match is in progress. It works particularly well in cricket because a single wicket or boundary can change the entire picture of a match.
Say team A is batting with a target of 60 runs off the last 5 overs and suddenly a wicket falls. Team A's odds of winning will immediately lengthen and team B's odds will shorten. In that situation, someone who can decide quickly can get in at better odds.
- Over-by-over markets: A separate market is open for how many runs will be scored in each over.
- Powerplay runs: A live market is available for the total runs scored in the first 6 overs.
- When will the next wicket fall: There is also a market for how far the current partnership will go before the next wicket.
- Quick decisions matter: Live odds change fast, so it is convenient to watch odds in real time through the 29bet mobile app.
A few useful points for cricket betting
Betting is entertainment — it should not be seen as a source of income. Following a few simple habits keeps the experience enjoyable.
- Set a budget first: Deciding in advance how much you will spend on each match reduces the risk of overspending.
- Start with one format: Betting on a short format like T20 early on makes it easier to understand the markets.
- Be careful with multi bets: Three selections at 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.80 = 4.32 may look attractive, but if even one is wrong the entire ৳100 is lost.
- Avoid rushing in live betting: Rather than making a hasty decision when you see odds moving, take a moment to read the match situation first.
- Know the responsible gaming rules: Reading the responsible gaming guide will show you how to set your own limits.
A multi bet example
Selections across three separate matches: decimal odds 1.50, 1.60 and 1.80. The combined odds work out to 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.80 = 4.32 (approximately).
A ৳100 stake returns ৳432 if all three win.
But if even one loses, the full ৳100 is gone. A multi bet offers the chance of a high return, but the risk increases in the same proportion.
Teams are always shown as team A / team B — this is an example only, not a guarantee of actual earnings.
