Cricket betting at 499 bit — odds for every match from T20 to Test
Popular markets for BPL, IPL and international cricket, live betting, and fast payments including bKash — all in one place.
The different cricket formats and the tournaments covered most
T20 Cricket
In this 20-over format the game can change quickly. Odds shift with every wicket or big hit, making it the most popular format for live betting. Bangladesh Tigers matches in BPL and the T20 World Cup draw the highest interest from bettors.
ODI Cricket
The 50-over format requires both strategy and patience. Mid-game situations — the score at the end of the powerplay, how many wickets have fallen — all influence betting decisions. ODI markets tend to be deep in ICC events and bilateral series.
Test Cricket
In this five-day format, pitch behaviour, weather and squad depth play a big role. Beyond the match winner, markets like innings totals, series scores and top performers are also available.
BPL, IPL and International Matches
The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) is Bangladesh's own T20 franchise league — matches featuring local players alongside international stars generate the most betting interest. IPL brings the contest between Indian franchise teams, while ICC events put the world's best sides against each other. 499 bit offers odds across all three levels. Each league has its own style of markets and scope for informed decisions.
Football and other sports alongside cricket
Football passion in Bangladesh is real. During European leagues and the World Cup, football betting also sees a surge. Like cricket, football offers match winner, goals over/under and multi bet options — the key difference is that football has a draw as a possible outcome, so there are three markets (home win, draw, away win). In limited-overs cricket there is no draw, so the market structure is different. Markets for badminton, kabaddi and tennis are also available at certain times.
Football
Three outcomes (home/draw/away), goals markets and live odds.
Cricket
Two outcomes (T20/ODI), over-based markets, in-play odds.
Badminton
Set winner, handicap and match winner markets.
Tennis
Set score, game handicap and live points markets.
Popular cricket betting markets and how they work
Match Winner
Who will win — team A or team B. There is no draw in T20 or ODI, so there are only two options. Its simplicity makes it the first choice for new bettors.
SimplestToss Winner
Which team will win the toss. The outcome does not depend on match performance, so odds are generally even.
Independent EventTop Batsman
Which batter will score the most runs in an innings. The team's batting order and pitch conditions can be taken into account.
Skill-BasedTotal Runs Over/Under
You predict whether the total runs scored in the full match or a specific innings will be more (over) or less (under) than a set number.
Two SidesMulti Bet
Combining markets from multiple matches — if all selections win, the total return is the product of all the odds. If any one loses, the entire stake is lost.
Combined OddsInnings Handicap
A run advantage is given to the weaker team to level the playing field. The result is judged by the run margin, not just win or loss.
Margin-BasedDecimal, fractional and American — understanding three odds formats simply
Different betting platforms display odds in three different ways. The same odds in all three formats carry the same information — only the way they are expressed differs. The example below shows a bet on team A winning, with a stake of ৳500:
| Format | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | Total return = stake × 2.25 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳5 profit for every ৳4 staked |
| American | +125 | ৳125 profit on a ৳100 stake |
Example 1 (underdog bet): Team A wins, stake ৳500. Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125. If it wins, total return is ৳1,125 (৳625 profit + ৳500 original stake); if it loses, the full ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 (favourite bet): Team B wins, stake ৳500. Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400 (American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100). If it wins, total return is ৳625 (৳125 profit).
Odds change the moment a wicket falls during the match
Live betting, or in-play betting, is the option where odds keep updating with every event after the match has started. If a team posts a big score in the powerplay, the opponent's odds of winning increase. If three wickets fall quickly, the batting team's odds can shift dramatically.
Ball-by-ball match situations — run rate, balls remaining, pitch behaviour — can all be factored in when placing live markets at 499 bit. A mid-over dropped catch or run-out can suddenly change the market picture, so in-play betting is fast-moving and demands attention.
Those who enjoy casino games alongside sports betting can play live baccarat and roulette at 499 bit Casino.
Useful tips for cricket betting
- 01 Start with one format. T20 is the fastest and match results are usually known within a few hours. For new bettors, this format is easier to understand and follow.
- 02 Stick to a budget. Betting is entertainment — set a separate budget for each session and try not to go beyond it. Read the responsible gaming page to learn more about playing responsibly.
- 03 Understanding odds does not guarantee the right decision. Being able to read decimal, fractional or American format is useful. Try working through the examples above yourself.
- 04 Be careful with multi bets. The combined odds may look large, but if one selection loses the entire stake is gone. Three selections at decimal 1.50 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.59 — a ৳100 stake could return ৳459, but only if all three win.
- 05 Do not rush in live betting. In-play odds move fast. Look at the match situation yourself — wickets, overs remaining, run rate — and make your decision based on that, rather than reacting purely to odds movements.
Keep in mind
Cricket betting is a form of entertainment — no one can guarantee a win. Play within your means and seek help if you need it.
