4899bet Cricket Betting – Bet on every match from BPL to the T20 World Cup
Bet across multiple markets — match winner, toss, top batsman and multi bets — in T20, ODI and Test formats. 4899bet's simple interface and support in Bengali make every moment of cricket more engaging.
Cricket's three formats and the tournaments worth watching
Understanding the format is the most important part of cricket betting, because each of the three formats has its own character. T20 is the shortest — in this 20-over format runs come fast, wickets fall suddenly, and the result can turn at any moment. ODI is a bit longer — in a 50-over match there is more room for strategy, and as the tempo shifts from start to finish, the odds move with it. Test is five days of play — pitch behaviour, weather and the batting depth of both sides all play a major role in betting decisions.
The most popular tournament among cricket fans in Bangladesh is the BPL (Bangladesh Premier League). Being a home tournament, every match carries its own excitement. On the international stage, the IPL and the T20 World Cup are equally significant; Bangladesh Tigers matches from ICC international series also stay active in betting markets. These tournaments feature regularly on 4899bet.
4899bet is not limited to cricket. Football betting covers match winner alongside handicap and corner markets. Where cricket markets shift with every ball, football sees fewer scoring chances and odds move more gradually. In the 4899bet Bet section you will find markets for cricket, football and other sports together.
Popular betting markets in cricket
Before making a decision on a cricket match, take time to understand the markets. Each market has its own characteristics — picking the right one makes the betting experience more enjoyable.
Match Winner
Who wins the match between the two teams — this is the simplest market. In T20 and ODI there is no draw, so you choose between two options. For example, in a T20 match between Team A and Team B, if Team A's odds are 1.80 and Team B's are 2.00, a ৳500 bet on Team B returns ৳1,000 if Team B wins (৳500 profit); if Team A wins, that ৳500 is lost.
Toss Winner
Who wins the toss before the match starts — the match result has no bearing on this market. Odds are usually close to even for both sides and the market closes just before the match begins.
Top Batsman
Pick the batsman who will score the most runs in a specific innings or across the whole match. This market offers multiple options and less familiar batsmen tend to carry higher odds.
Total Runs Over/Under
Predict whether the total runs scored in a match or a specific innings will be above or below a set line. For example, if the line for a T20 innings is set at 165, you choose over (more) or under (less).
When will the first wicket fall
Choose from a range of runs within which the first wicket will fall. In T20, aggressive batting during the powerplay can bring an early wicket — pitch and weather conditions are key factors in this market.
Multi Bet
In a multi bet, combining multiple matches or multiple markets from the same match multiplies all the odds together, increasing the overall odds. But if even one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost — so keeping the number of selections low is the smarter approach.
Betting Exchange
On an exchange you do not just place bets — you can also lay against another bettor's wager. For example, if you BACK Team A with ৳1,000 and Team A wins, you gain ৳1,000; if you LAY Team A and Team A loses, you receive that amount. Exchanges charge commission — keep that in mind.
How to read odds in three formats
4899bet generally displays odds in decimal format, as it is the most familiar to bettors in Bangladesh. However, it is worth knowing fractional and American formats, as these appear in various international sources.
| Format | Team A wins | Return on ৳1,000 stake |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | ৳3,000 (৳2,000 profit + ৳1,000 stake) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳3,000 (same calculation) |
| American | +200 | ৳3,000 (same calculation) |
All three formats express the same value of a bet — only the way it is written differs. In the example above, if Team A wins, a ৳1,000 stake returns a total of ৳3,000 (৳2,000 profit); if Team A loses, the full ৳1,000 is gone.
For a favourite's odds, say Team B is given decimal 1.25 to win — that is 1/4 in fractional and -400 in American (the minus sign means how much you need to stake to win 100). Here a ৳1,000 bet returns just ৳1,250 (profit ৳250) — because the favourite's odds are lower, the profit is smaller.
As wickets fall and overs change, the odds change too – live betting
The most compelling aspect of cricket is its unpredictability, and live in-play betting lets you act on that. You can place bets on 4899bet even after a match has started, with odds updating after every ball.
For example, if a team is 110 for 3 at the 15th over, and two more wickets fall in the very next over, the match winner odds for the opposing team will shorten. That is the appeal of live betting — making decisions as the situation unfolds.
In T20, odds shift very quickly once the powerplay ends or when a key batsman is at the crease in the death overs (17th–20th). In ODI, the position around the middle overs (30th–35th) also influences the odds. In Test cricket, end-of-day pitch conditions, the chance of rain and each team's remaining batting lineup all cause the live market to keep shifting.
In the live betting section on 4899bet you can check the score and over-by-over updates before making a decision. Remember — betting is for entertainment, and the outcome of every match is uncertain.
Multi bets and betting on other sports
One bet across three matches
Say you have made three selections across three separate matches — decimal odds 1.70, 1.80 and 1.90. In a multi bet these are multiplied: 1.70 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.81 (approximately). A ৳100 stake returns ৳581 if all three win. But if any single selection loses, the entire ৳100 is gone. That is why it is better to keep selections low in a multi bet.
Differences in how you bet
In cricket the market can change with every ball, so live betting moves at a faster pace. In football, with fewer scoring chances over 90 minutes, odds shift more gradually. Just as cricket has an over/under runs market, football has a popular total goals over/under market. Both sports offer live markets on 4899bet.
Crash games are also popular on 4899bet — this is a separate category from sports betting. You can find detailed rules and offers for these games in the 4899bet crash bonus section. If you are interested in the Phoenix Rises slot, full details are available on the Phoenix Rises page.
Betting market types at a glance
Match Winner
Pick the winner between the two teams before the match starts. In T20 and ODI it is win or lose only; Test cricket also includes the draw.
Over/Under Runs
Whether runs will go above or below a set line — this line updates every over in the live market.
Top Batsman / Bowler
Pick the best performer for runs or wickets in the match — having multiple contenders makes this market interesting.
Toss Winner
The simplest market — no connection to the match result, just a bet on who wins the toss.
Multi Bet
Multiple markets combined — odds multiply so the potential return increases, but one loss ends the whole bet.
Betting Exchange
BACK or LAY — bet directly against another bettor, with commission, on your own terms.
Some practical tips for cricket betting
Choose markets based on the format
High run totals are common in T20, so keep that in mind for over/under markets. In Test cricket, pitch and weather carry a lot of weight.
Set a budget before you start
Decide how much you will stake on each match before you begin. Betting is for entertainment — keeping a balance between wins and losses is the healthy approach. Follow the responsible gaming guidelines.
Keep selections low in a multi bet
If you combine more than three selections in a multi bet, one wrong pick loses everything. Fewer selections give you a better chance.
No rushing in live betting
Odds in in-play markets change fast — check the score and the situation before deciding. A rushed bet can turn into regret.

Frequently asked questions about cricket betting
In T20, the match is short so odds shift quickly — a single wicket can change the whole balance. In ODI, the 50-over structure makes it easier to read the flow, so live markets move a bit slower. In Test cricket, weather and pitch conditions play a big role across five days, and a draw is also possible — so the market is split across three outcomes.
Both BPL and IPL are T20 tournaments, so they typically offer match winner, toss winner, top batsman, over/under runs and live in-play markets. Popular matches tend to have even more markets available.
If a match is cancelled, that selection is usually removed from the multi bet and the result is settled based on the remaining selections. However, rules can vary between platforms — check 4899bet's terms and conditions to be sure.
Decimal odds of 1.80 mean you get ৳1.80 back for every ৳1 staked — so the profit is ৳0.80. On a ৳500 bet, if you win you receive ৳900 back (৳400 profit + ৳500 stake). If you lose, the ৳500 is gone.
Generally yes — odds change when wickets fall, after a big over, or when the powerplay ends. Occasionally the market is briefly suspended (such as right after a wicket) while odds are updated. This is normal and happens on almost all sportsbooks.
