gb99 Cricket Betting — the best betting experience on BPL, IPL and international matches
From T20 to Test, domestic leagues to the World Cup — gb99 offers betting on matches across all formats for cricket fans. Place bets across a wide range of markets from match winner to top batsman, watch live odds move, and manage your account easily on mobile.
Which format is most popular for cricket betting?
Cricket is Bangladesh's most beloved sport, and that is why cricket betting gets the most attention on gb99. The three main formats — T20, ODI, and Test — each offer a different betting experience.
In T20 matches events change with every over, causing odds to move quickly. T20 leagues like BPL and IPL are hugely popular with Bangladeshi fans because local and international stars play side by side. ODI matches are comparatively longer, which broadens the scope for betting — you can place bets at various points from before an innings begins right through to the final over.
Test cricket is a five-day game that requires both patience and strategy. You can bet on everything from the match winner to how a session will end. The T20 World Cup and various ICC international tournaments keep the cricket betting section of gb99 active throughout the year.
Football and Other Sports Betting
Alongside cricket, you can also bet on football at gb99. In football a draw is a standard result, so the match winner market has three options — team A wins, team B wins, or a draw. In limited-overs cricket a draw is not possible, though it is in Test matches. This fundamental difference also affects betting strategy.
In football you will find more markets around number of goals, first goal scorer, or half-time/full-time result. In cricket there are more opportunities to bet on wickets, run rate, or individual player performance.
gb99 also offers virtual sports, where computer-simulated matches are available to bet on 24 hours a day — even when no real fixtures are scheduled. You can also get fast betting action at Bombing Fishing, though full details are available on that page.
Popular Markets in Cricket Betting
Each market has its own characteristics. Below are 7 common markets explained briefly.
Match Winner
You only need to answer one question — which team will win the match. In T20 and ODI there are two options (team A or team B). Example: if you think team A will win, bet on team A; if that is confirmed at the end of the match, you receive your winnings.
Toss Winner
This is decided before the teams take to the field — which team will win the toss. Results come quickly. Example: simply choose team A or team B and the outcome is known as soon as the toss is done.
Top Batsman
You predict which batter will score the most runs for a particular team. You pick one from several candidates. If that player genuinely tops the run tally, you win; otherwise the bet is lost.
Total Runs Over/Under
You choose whether the total runs in a match or a specific innings will be over (more than) or under (less than) a set number — two choices. Example: "over 160 runs in the innings" — choose Over and if more than 160 runs are scored, you win.
Multi Bet
Multiple bets are combined and their odds are multiplied. Example: bets on team A, team B, and team A winning across three matches combined — if all three come in, the return increases significantly by the product of the odds, but if even one fails, the entire bet is lost.
Next Wicket / Next Over Runs
During the match you must make quick decisions on fast-moving markets such as when the next wicket will fall or how many runs will be scored in the next over. Example: more than 10 runs in the next over — if just that one prediction is correct, you win.
Man of the Match
A bet on who will be the best performer across the entire match. You pick the player who has the greatest overall impact across batting, bowling, and fielding. If your prediction is correct, you receive a return according to the odds.
How Decimal, Fractional and American Odds Work
Odds are a number that shows how much you will receive if your bet wins. There are three common formats.
Example 1 — three ways to show the same price: Say you think team A will win and you bet ৳200. Decimal odds of 2.50 mean you receive the full ৳500 if you win — ৳300 profit plus your ৳200 stake back. Fractional odds of 3/2 mean exactly the same — ৳3 profit for every ৳2 wagered. American odds of +150 also mean the same: ৳150 profit on a ৳100 bet. If the bet loses, ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — the price on a favourite: If you think team B will win, the odds might be Decimal 1.80, Fractional 4/5, or American -125. A minus figure in American odds means you need to bet ৳125 to win ৳100 — this applies to favourites. On a ৳200 bet the return would be ৳360 (including ৳160 profit).
All formats carry the same information — only the way it is expressed differs. gb99 generally displays decimal odds, which are the easiest to read.
| Format | Team A | Team B |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 4/5 |
| American | +150 | -125 |
The figures above are examples only — they are not confirmed odds for any real match.
Odds Change with Every Wicket and Over
Live or in-play betting lets you feel closer to the cricket as it happens. After the match starts, odds update instantly whenever a wicket falls or a big over is bowled.
When a wicket falls
If a key batter from the batting side is dismissed, that team's odds of winning generally lengthen — longer odds mean their chance of winning is seen as lower.
After a big over
If a lot of runs come off an over or the batting side moves ahead comfortably, their odds shorten — meaning the market sees them in a stronger position.
In the final stages
If the match is evenly poised in the last few overs, both teams' odds draw close together and change frequently.
Quick decisions
Time is short in live betting — odds can shift suddenly at a new ball, during a powerplay, or when a review is taken.
Some Useful Habits for Cricket Betting
Betting is one form of entertainment. The habits below can help you stay more aware during your experience. No strategy guarantees a win.
- 1 Set a fixed budget. Decide in advance how much you will spend for each session. Once that is used up, take a break — rushing to increase your bets to recover losses usually leads to more losses.
- 2 Understand the format before betting. The pace of T20 and Test cricket is completely different. In T20 a single over can change everything; in Test cricket there is time to analyse a session's performance.
- 3 Be careful with multi bets. Returns on a multi bet can be much higher, but every selection has to come in together. One wrong pick and the whole bet is gone. Starting with fewer selections is the wiser approach.
- 4 Stay level-headed in live betting. Rather than placing large bets in the heat of watching a match, set a limit for yourself beforehand. In-play odds move fast, and making decisions in a rush can be costly.
- 5 Treat it as entertainment. Cricket betting is primarily a way to enjoy the game on the field. It is not a regular source of income. If you ever feel betting is becoming hard to control, read the responsible gaming guidelines.
- 6 Compare odds. Looking at odds across different markets for the same match before deciding helps you understand your position better. Decimal odds are straightforward to compare directly.
