Cricket Betting at aa99 — bet on T20, ODI and Test matches at the best odds
From BPL and IPL to the ICC T20 World Cup — aa99 brings cricket fans in Bangladesh live betting, multiple markets and easy payment options. Bet on your favourite team before the match starts, or catch live odds while the innings is on.
Cricket's Three Formats and Major Tournaments
Much of the fun in cricket betting depends on which format you are betting on. T20 matches move fast — results in just forty overs and odds that shift moment to moment. That is why live betting on T20 matches like BPL and IPL is the most popular. ODI format takes a little longer, but gives you the chance to read the mid-innings situation and plan your bets. And Test matches run five days — odds fluctuate the most with changes in pitch, weather and sessions.
The tournament closest to Bangladeshi fans is BPL — the local teams make it feel a little more personal. IPL excitement is no less, especially in the knockout stages. On the international stage, the ICC T20 World Cup and bilateral series create betting opportunities throughout the year. At aa99, markets open ahead of matches across all these competitions, and live odds are available once a match begins.
Compared to football and other sports, cricket has a different type of market structure. In football, a draw is a real possibility, so odds are split across three results. In limited-overs cricket there are usually just two outcomes — so the odds on either side tend to be more liquid. Cricket also offers far more sub-markets such as over-by-over scores, wickets, partnerships and bowling performances — something football does not have to the same extent.
Popular Betting Markets
At aa99, cricket betting goes beyond just Match Winner — you can bet across several different markets. Below is a brief look at the seven most commonly used markets.
Match Winner
Which team will win — this is the simplest market. Limited-overs matches have two options; Test matches also include tie or draw. Example: Team A vs Team B — if Team B is the favourite, their odds will be lower and Team A's odds will be higher.
Toss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match begins. It is a completely independent market — unrelated to the match result. If you have a sense of the pitch and weather conditions, reading the toss decision (bat or bowl) can make it an interesting bet.
Top Batsman
Which batsman will score the most runs in a specific innings. Keep the team's batting lineup and pitch type in mind. Example: Team A's opener versus an experienced middle-order batter.
Total Runs (Over/Under)
This market is about whether the total runs scored in a match or innings will be above (Over) or below (Under) a set number. Over may be relevant on a flat pitch; Under may suit a pitch that offers swing.
Top Bowler
Which bowler will take the most wickets in an innings. Pacer vs spinner — the nature of the pitch plays a big role. In T20, death-over bowlers and in Test, bowlers who bowl long spells will have different odds.
Multi Bet
A bet that combines multiple selections into one. If all selections win, the return is multiplied; if one loses, the entire bet is lost. Example: picking winners from three separate matches — the odds multiply, and so does the risk.
Handicap and Innings Betting
In handicap betting, the stronger team is given an artificial run deficit so the odds come closer together. In innings betting, you bet on which team will score more runs in the first innings — this is a well-established market in Test cricket.
How to Read and Understand Odds
Cricket betting odds can be displayed in three formats — Decimal, Fractional and American. aa99 generally uses Decimal format, but it is worth understanding all three.
An example of the same value written in all three formats (Team A to win, stake ৳1,000): Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125. If the bet wins, return is ৳2,250 (৳1,250 profit + original stake ৳1,000); if it loses, ৳1,000 is gone.
Example for the favourite (Team B to win): Decimal 1.50 = Fractional 1/2 = American -200. A negative American odds figure means how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit. On a ৳1,000 bet, the return is ৳1,500 (৳500 profit).
| Format | Team A (Underdog) | Team B (Favourite) | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.50 | Total return including your stake — stake × odds = return |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 1/2 | Profit relative to stake — ৳5 profit on a ৳4 stake |
| American | +125 | -200 | + means profit on a 100 stake; − means stake needed for 100 profit |

Live In-Play Betting — odds change while the match is on
Live betting means you can still place bets after the match has started. After every over, every wicket and every boundary, the odds are updated instantly. That is the real appeal of in-play betting.
What happens when a wicket falls
When the batting team loses a wicket, their Match Winner odds go up immediately — because the team's position has weakened. The bowling team's odds come down.
Powerplay vs middle overs
If runs come quickly in the powerplay, the batting team's odds shorten. If the score slows in the middle overs, they shift again.
Dramatic changes in the death overs
In the final few overs, as the required run rate rises, odds can change ball by ball. Placing live bets at this point is the most intense part of the experience.
Session-based changes in Test matches
In Test cricket, as the pitch wears, spinners become more effective — so the bowling team's odds in the afternoon session can be quite different from the morning.
Bets change quickly in live betting, so it is important to stay within a set budget. For more on responsible betting, visit the Responsible Gaming page.
Some practical tips before you bet
Cricket betting is a form of entertainment. These tips will help keep your experience organised and enjoyable.
Set a budget before you start
Decide how much you want to bet before each match and stick to that limit. Avoid increasing your bet after a win or placing a large bet to recover a loss — both are habits to avoid.
Get familiar with one market first
Start by focusing only on the Match Winner market. Then gradually move into markets like Total Runs or Top Batsman. Betting across too many markets at once makes things complicated.
Have a basic idea of pitch and weather conditions
Spinners are more effective on dry, slow pitches; pacers have the advantage on green pitches. The chance of rain can change the course of an ODI or Test match — keep that in mind when betting on Total Runs markets.
Keep the number of selections low in a multi bet
Adding more than three selections to a multi bet significantly increases the chance of one losing. Keeping it to two or three selections gives you more control.
Treat it as entertainment, not a source of income
Cricket betting is a way to enjoy the match more. Betting under pressure to make a profit takes the fun out of it. Whenever it stops feeling like entertainment, step away.
Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, aa99 also offers football betting. Football has three possible results — home win, away win and draw — so odds are distributed differently from cricket. Betting markets are available for international matches, European leagues and tournaments like the Asian Cup.
aa99 also has Virtual Sports betting — where you can bet on computer-simulated cricket, football and other competitions any time of day or night, without waiting for a real match.
