Cricket Betting at l999 — A Complete Guide to Betting on BPL, IPL and International Matches
l999 brings a top-quality cricket betting experience for cricket fans in Bangladesh. Bet on all three formats — T20, ODI and Test — from pre-match markets to live in-play, all in one place.
Each format has its own pace and its own betting approach. Knowing what to keep in mind for each format makes betting much more enjoyable.
T20 — Fast-Paced Cricket
In a 20-over game, every ball can make a difference. BPL and IPL are the biggest stages for T20 cricket. A BPL match at a Dhaka ground carries its own excitement. T20 is the most active format for live betting, since a single six or wicket can shift the odds.
ODI — The Fifty-Over Contest
A fifty-over one-day match offers a better balance between batting and bowling. In ODI markets for the ICC World Cup or bilateral series, top batsman and total runs over/under are very popular. When Bangladesh Tigers play, the volume of bets in ODI markets rises noticeably.
Test — The Highest Stage of Cricket
In five-day Test cricket a draw is a valid result, so markets carry three options: Team A win, Team B win, Draw. Pitch conditions, weather and batting conditions on the fifth day have a strong influence on odds. In-innings betting and Man of the Match markets are well established in Test cricket.
Betting on Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, l999 also offers betting on football. In football the match result is usually decided in 90 minutes, so odds behave differently from cricket. Cricket has many innings-based and over-based markets that football does not; conversely, football has its own corner, card and half-time markets.
Enjoy betting as a form of entertainment — whether it is cricket or football, it is always better to keep bets within a set budget. Learn more about responsible betting.
The markets below are the most used on l999. A brief introduction and a simple example are given for each.
Match Winner
The simplest market — bet on which team will win the match. Two options in T20 (Team A or Team B), three in Test (Team A, Team B, Draw). Example: in an ODI between Team A and Team B, Team B's odds are 2.00 — a ৳500 bet returns ৳1,000 if Team B wins (৳500 profit included); if Team A wins, ৳500 is lost.
Toss Betting
You can bet on the toss result before the match begins. The odds for both teams are usually roughly equal. This market gets more attention on pitches where the toss matters.
Top Batsman
A bet on who will score the most runs for their team. Example: for Team A's innings, several batters are listed with their odds for scoring the highest runs. Back the right batter and you receive a return according to the odds.
Total Runs — Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs in an innings or across the whole match will be more (over) or less (under) than a set number. Example: a line of 160 runs is set for the first innings; bet over or under based on your view.
Top Bowler
A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in an innings or across the match. Death-over bowlers often feature prominently in this market in T20.
Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
Combining results from several matches raises the combined odds, but if any one selection is wrong the entire bet is lost. Example: three selections with odds of 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.70 = 4.08 (approximately); a ৳100 bet returns ৳408 if all are correct, and ৳100 is lost if even one is wrong.
Handicap and Run Line
A run advantage or deficit is artificially applied to one team to level the market. If the weaker team is given a 15-run handicap, the stronger team must win by 16 or more runs — only then does a bet on the stronger team win.
Cricket betting odds are written in three ways: decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same potential return — only the notation differs.
| Format | Team A (winning bet, ৳1,000) | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | If it wins, return is ৳2,250 (৳1,250 profit + ৳1,000 stake); if it loses, ৳1,000 is gone. |
| Fractional | 5/4 | Same match, same odds — just a different way of writing them. |
| American | +125 | A plus sign means ৳125 profit on a ৳100 bet. |
| Format | Team B (favourite bet, ৳1,000) | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.80 | If it wins, return is ৳1,800 (৳800 profit). |
| Fractional | 4/5 | Same odds expressed as a fraction. |
| American | -125 | A minus sign means ৳125 must be staked to make ৳100 profit. |
Decimal format is used most on l999. All odds work on the same principle — if the bet is correct, the return is odds × stake.
Placing bets while the match is in progress — that is live or in-play betting. In cricket this is particularly significant, because odds change instantly whenever a wicket falls or many runs are scored in a powerplay.
Say Team A is 70 for 3 after 10 overs in a T20 match. In that situation, Team B's odds of winning may shorten. After every over there is an opportunity to analyse the situation and act in the live market.
In-play also has a "cash out" feature — the option to settle a bet before it concludes at a set return. Odds move fast when wickets fall in the death overs or a big six comes, so staying focused in live betting is important.
l999 allows live in-play betting while watching the live score through the mobile app, bringing you closer to the action on the ground.
Set Your Budget First
Set aside a fixed amount for each session. When that amount is used up, stop. Betting is a form of entertainment — not a way to recover losses.
Build Familiarity with One Market
Start by focusing on just two markets: match winner or total runs. Betting across too many markets at once makes things complicated.
Understand the Match Context
Pitch type, weather and a team's recent form all influence odds. This information can help with betting decisions — but keep in mind that anything can happen in cricket.
No Rush in Live Betting
Odds move quickly in in-play, so place bets based on your read of the situation rather than on impulse. A single wicket or a single six can change the entire picture of a match.
Read the Rules
Each market has its own rules. Find out in advance what happens to your bet if a match is cancelled due to rain or settled under the DLS method. Full details are on the Terms and Conditions page.
