Cricket betting at ku999 — bet on all formats from BPL, IPL and T20 to Test
ku999 brings cricket fans in Bangladesh a range of betting markets including match winner, toss, top batsman and over/under. From live betting to multi bets — everything in one place.
Cricket's three formats and Bangladesh's favourite competitions
T20, ODI and Test — three distinct experiences
Just as T20 cricket gets the crowd going in Dhaka's stands, it moves fast in betting too. With a match wrapped up in just 20 overs, odds shift every over. BPL is Bangladesh's most popular T20 league, and India's IPL is the world's top franchise tournament — both are available on ku999.
ODI matches require both strategy and patience over a 50-over journey. When the Tigers campaign in the World Cup or ICC tournaments, the one-day markets become particularly interesting. Test cricket, on the other hand, offers the chance to bet session by session across five days of shifting conditions — something no other format provides.
At the T20 World Cup, ICC Cricket World Cup and Asia Cup, ku999 offers the highest number of markets for every Bangladesh Tigers match on these international stages.

Betting on football and other sports
After cricket, football is the most popular sport in Bangladesh. Betting on Premier League, La Liga or Champions League matches works a little differently from cricket. In football there is a chance of a draw, so most matches offer odds on three outcomes — in 1X2 format (home win, draw, away win). In limited-overs cricket there is generally no draw, so the market is two-way.
Betting on tennis, badminton or volleyball is more straightforward — there are options to bet by set or game. Markets for local sports like kabaddi or wrestling appear occasionally, but cricket and football provide the most markets by far.
For a completely different kind of fun, check out the Virtual Sports section, where you can bet on algorithm-driven simulated matches at any time.
7 markets most used by cricket bettors
Match Winner
EasiestWhich of the two teams will win — this is the most common market. Team A vs Team B — back whichever you think is more likely. In T20, because results turn quickly, odds keep changing right until the end of the match.
Toss Winner
Quick resultThe result is known before the match starts — who will win the toss. This market has little connection to pitch or weather conditions, so odds are usually roughly equal for both sides.
Top Batsman
Skill-basedThis is a bet on which player will score the most runs in a team's innings. Batting order and pitch conditions play an important role here.
Total Runs Over / Under
Numbers-basedWhether runs in a specific over or an entire innings will be above or below a set number — this market becomes particularly interesting on batting pitches or at small grounds.
Top Bowler
Expert pickWhich bowler will take the most wickets — in this market it is important to consider pitch behaviour and the opposing team's batting lineup.
Multi Bet
Multiple eventsBets across multiple markets are combined and the odds are multiplied. For example — adding three selections at odds of 1.40, 1.50 and 1.70 gives combined odds of 3.57, and if all win on a ৳100 stake you receive back ৳357 — but if even one selection loses, the entire stake is gone.
First Wicket Partnership Runs
Innings-basedHow many runs the first two openers will put on together — this market depends on the opening pair's form and the strength of the opposition's pace attack. It is popular in both ODI and T20 formats.
Odds come in three types — how to read each one
Although odds look different, all three formats express the same probability. The table below uses two real examples to explain.
| Format | Team A | Team B (Favourite) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.50 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 1/2 |
| American | +125 | -200 |
Example 1 (Team A wins): On a ৳200 stake at decimal odds of 2.25 — you receive back ৳450 (৳250 profit + original ৳200). If you lose, the full ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 (Team B favourite): Decimal odds of 1.50 equal American odds of -200 — you need to stake ৳200 to make ৳100 profit. On a ৳200 stake you receive back ৳300 (৳100 profit).
Live betting — odds change every over
Live or in-play betting is the most exciting part of cricket betting. After the match starts, odds update instantly with every wicket taken, every boundary scored or when the powerplay ends.
Say Team A loses 2 wickets in the very first over of a T20 match — Team B's odds of winning will shorten and Team A's odds will lengthen sharply. Making a decision at that moment means putting your ability to read how the match is unfolding to use.
In ODI, there is the chance to bet session by session. How many runs will be scored in the first powerplay, which bowler will take a wicket in the middle overs — these markets are only active in-play. Test cricket's session-by-session markets offer the greatest variety of all.
Decisions in live betting must be made quickly, so placing bets through ku999's mobile app with real-time updates is far more convenient.
Things to keep in mind with live betting
- Odds shift fast after a wicket falls — if you take too long to decide, the market may close.
- The nature of the pitch (pace-friendly or spin-friendly) has a big impact on live markets.
- The dew factor and the second innings target influence live run-rate markets.
- Keep your stake amounts steady — it is best not to go beyond your plan in the heat of live betting.
Some useful tips for cricket betting
- Bet according to the format. T20 and Test markets are completely different in nature. The same strategy may not work across both formats.
- Follow the pitch report and weather. A batting pitch is more likely to produce high scores; a spin-friendly pitch tends to produce lower ones.
- Set a fixed budget. Betting is a form of entertainment — set a specific amount and stick to it; do not go down the path of bigger losses.
- Keep selections low in a multi bet. Combining more than three or four selections reduces the chance of winning all of them significantly.
- Follow the responsible gaming guidelines. The right approach is to treat betting as entertainment, not as a source of income. For more information, read the Responsible Gaming page.
