Cricket Betting at ab999 uses — from BPL to the T20 World Cup, covering all the biggest matches
Bet on cricket, football and more at ab999 uses, a popular betting platform in Bangladesh. All markets from match winner to live in-play in one place.
Cricket Formats and Competitions
International cricket is played in three main formats. Each has its own character and they also differ from a betting perspective.
T20 Cricket
Just 20 overs per side, making this the fastest-paced format where a single big over can change the match. BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup are the biggest events in this format. T20 is naturally the most familiar format for fans in Bangladesh.
ODI Cricket
50-over one-day internationals require both strategy and patience. The situation can shift quickly in the middle overs of an innings. This format covers the ICC Cricket World Cup as well as various bilateral series.
Test Cricket
Five-day Test cricket involves a long contest between pitch behaviour, weather and team strengths. A draw is a valid result here, so betting markets need to be considered differently compared to T20 or ODI.
ab999 uses covers BPL, IPL and international series. Bangladesh Tigers matches naturally attract the most interest from bettors. Football and other sports betting is discussed below.
Betting on Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, ab999 uses also offers betting on football and several other sports. In football you can find markets such as match winner, half-time result, goal scorer and card-related bets. There is one key difference between football and cricket betting — a draw is a common result in football, so the market always has three possibilities: team A wins, draw, or team B wins.
In T20 and ODI cricket there are no draws, so you only choose between two outcomes. This generally means match winner prices are a little higher. In Test matches a draw is possible, so you see a three-way market similar to football.

Popular Betting Markets
A range of markets is available on cricket matches. Here is a brief introduction to seven common markets.
Match Winner
A straight bet on which team will win the match. Example: in team A vs team B, if you pick team B and team B wins, you win. The simplest and most widely used market in T20.
Toss Betting
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. Since the outcome is completely random, the prices for both teams are usually about equal. This market closes as soon as the match begins.
Top Batsman
A bet on which batter will score the most runs in an innings or across the whole match. You need to pick the highest scorer within the team. This market may remain open for a short while after play starts.
Total Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs in the match will be more (over) or less (under) than a set number. Pitch conditions and weather play a major role in this market.
Multi Bet
Multiple selections are combined into a single bet. Example: if you put three separate selections together, all of them must be correct for your return to multiply — but if even one is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Over Betting
Small markets such as how many runs will be scored in a specific over, whether a wicket will fall, or whether a boundary will be hit — these are available as part of live betting and keep changing as the game progresses.
Handicap Betting
When there is a gap in strength between two teams, the weaker team is given an artificial run advantage. This brings the prices of both teams closer together and makes betting more interesting. Handicap market outcomes are explained in words only — examples of actual prices or returns do not apply in this market.
Understanding the Three Odds Formats
Odds on betting platforms are displayed in three common ways: Decimal, Fractional and American. All three are simply different ways of expressing the same probability.
See the example below to understand how the same price is written in all three formats:
2.25 (Decimal) = 5/4 (Fractional) = +125 (American)
If you win, the return is ৳1,125 — comprising ৳625 profit and your ৳500 stake back. If you lose, the full ৳500 is gone.
1.80 (Decimal) = 4/5 (Fractional) = -125 (American)
American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100 in profit. With a ৳500 bet, a win returns a total of ৳900 (৳400 profit).
ab999 uses generally displays odds in decimal format, which is easier for newcomers to understand. In all cases, odds only indicate a possible return — no one can guarantee the actual outcome.
Calculation Example for Multi Bets
In a multi bet, several selections are combined and you win only if every selection is correct. See the hypothetical example below:
Selection 1: Team A wins — odds 1.50
Selection 2: Team B wins — odds 1.60
Selection 3: Team A wins — odds 1.80
Combined odds: 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.80 = 4.32 (approximate)
If all three are correct, a ৳100 stake returns ৳432. If even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
Multi bets offer higher potential returns but also carry higher risk. Betting is for entertainment — it is better not to treat it as a source of income.
What is a betting exchange?
In traditional betting you bet against the platform. In an exchange you bet directly against other users. BACK means betting for a team; LAY means betting against that team.
BACK team A — ৳1,000: if team A wins, ৳1,500 profit before commission; if they lose, ৳1,000 is gone.
LAY team A (bettor ৳1,000) — your liability is ৳1,500; if team A does not win, you profit ৳1,000; if team A wins, you pay ৳1,500.
Live In-Play Betting — odds change with every wicket and over
In-play or live betting lets you place bets while a match is in progress. In cricket, every wicket, every big over, or any change in run rate causes odds to shift instantly.
For example: team A is scoring quickly in the powerplay — at that point team A's odds of winning shorten, meaning they become the temporary favourite. If three wickets then fall in quick succession, the odds shift again. This constant movement is what makes live betting distinct.
Live markets can also include bets on runs in a specific over, who will take the next wicket, or a revised target under the Duckworth-Lewis method. Because odds change fast, it is important to make decisions carefully.
Things to Know Before You Start Betting
- Set a budget: Decide how much you will bet before each match. Staying within that limit is the sensible approach. Betting is a form of entertainment — not a source of income.
- Start with one market: New bettors usually start with the match winner market because it is the simplest. Once you have some experience, you can try top batsman or over/under.
- Understand the format: Betting on T20 and Test is different. In T20, one big over can turn a match; in Test, pitch and weather have a greater influence.
- Do not rush in live betting: Just because odds change quickly does not mean you should place a bet in a hurry. Understand the match situation first, then decide.
- Play responsibly: Never place a large bet to chase a loss. If you feel something is wrong, take a break immediately and visit the responsible gaming page for support information.
- Be careful with multi bets: Higher combined odds mean higher risk. Think through each selection individually — getting all of them right at once is difficult.
