995bet Cricket Betting — Best Odds on BPL, IPL and International Matches
From T20 to Test, from home BPL matches to the international T20 World Cup — 995bet has separate markets for every format. Before the match starts or during play, the situation changes with every ball and so do the odds.
The Three Formats of Cricket and Favourite Tournaments
Cricket is played in three main formats — T20, ODI, and Test. Each format has its own character, and the types of betting markets available change accordingly.
T20 Cricket
In this 20-over format, every ball matters. BPL and IPL are both played in this format. A quick wicket or a big hit can change the odds in an instant, making this format the most active for live betting.
ODI Cricket
This 50-over format moves at a relatively slower pace, but the tension builds intensely. Bettors who follow Bangladesh Tigers matches in international series and the ICC ODI World Cup tend to be most interested in this format.
Test Cricket
In this classic five-day format, pitch conditions, weather, and innings strategy play an important role in betting analysis. Since a draw is possible, this format carries a three-outcome market — Team A wins, Team B wins, or Draw.
BPL is Bangladesh's most popular T20 league, and IPL is the biggest franchise tournament in South Asia. In addition, Bangladesh Tigers matches in ICC international tournaments and bilateral series are treated as major events on 995bet.
Football and Other Sports Betting
Alongside cricket, 995bet offers betting on football and several other sports. In football, markets for Premier League, La Liga, or UEFA Champions League matches are typically built around three outcomes — Home Win, Away Win, or Draw. In limited-overs cricket there are no draws, so the market structure is different.
Handicap betting and markets on corners or cards are more common in football, while wicket fall, partnership, and run rate markets are more popular in cricket. The pace at which live odds change also differs — in cricket every ball can shift the situation, while in football the biggest changes come when a goal is scored.
995bet also has markets for badminton, tennis, and other sports, though cricket markets remain the most used among Bangladeshi bettors.
Popular Betting Markets and Examples
A market is where you place a bet on a specific outcome in a cricket match. On 995bet, multiple markets are open at the same time for each match.
Match Winner
A bet on which team will win the match. In T20 and ODI there are two straightforward options — Team A or Team B. In Test, a third option, Draw, is added. Example: if Team A's odds are 2.10, a ৳1,000 bet returns ৳2,100 if Team A wins.
Toss Winner
A market on which team wins the toss. The toss outcome plays a significant role in on-field strategy, so this market sees considerable activity. Odds for both teams are usually close to each other.
Top Batsman
A bet on who will score the most runs in a team. Example: if one of three batsmen in Team A has odds of 2.50, a ৳500 bet returns ৳1,250 if correct.
Total Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs scored will be above or below a set target (for example 160). The decision in this market is based on pitch conditions and the nature of the bowling attack.
Multi Bet
Results from multiple matches are combined into a single bet. You win only if every selection is correct. Example: combining three selections at odds of 1.40, 1.60, and 1.90 gives a total return of ৳426 on a ৳100 bet — but if even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
First Wicket Fall
A market on at what score or in which over the first wicket will fall. In T20, this market can change rapidly. The outcome may be decided within the first few balls of the powerplay.
Betting Exchange
On an exchange you can not only bet for a win (BACK) but also bet against a win (LAY). Example: BACKing Team A at odds of 2.50 with ৳500 earns ৳750 profit before commission if Team A wins; if they do not win, you lose ৳500. LAYing Team A against ৳500 of a bettor's stake means your liability is ৳750 (৳500 × 1.50) — if Team A does not win you earn ৳500 before commission; if they win you pay out ৳750.
Three Ways to Read Odds
Odds are written in three main formats — decimal, fractional, and American. 995bet generally uses the decimal format, but all three formats are different expressions of the same outcome.
Team A to win, stake ৳1,000. Decimal 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200. If correct, return is ৳3,000 (৳2,000 profit + ৳1,000 stake); if wrong, ৳1,000 is lost.
Team B to win: Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American -125 (a minus American figure means how much you must stake to win ৳100). A ৳1,000 stake returns ৳1,800 (৳800 profit).
In decimal format, the higher the number, the less likely the event — meaning the potential return is higher but so is the risk. Odds cannot go below 1.00. Betting is entertainment — no odds formula guarantees a win.
In fractional format, 2/1 means ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked. In American format, a plus (+) sign means profit on a ৳100 stake, while a minus (-) sign means how much you must stake to win ৳100. Of the three formats, decimal is the easiest to understand, which is why it is the primary format shown on 995bet.
Before you start betting, it is worth reading the Terms and Conditions — they clearly explain how markets are settled and what happens in the case of a cancelled match.
Live Betting — Odds Change Wicket by Wicket
You can place bets even after a match has started — this is called live or in-play betting. In cricket it is particularly engaging, as the situation can shift dramatically after every over and every wicket.
If a team loses 3 wickets in the powerplay, that team's odds of winning will rise sharply — meaning a bet placed at that moment offers a higher potential return, but also higher risk. Conversely, if the batting team scores runs quickly, the odds shorten.
In live betting, decisions must be made quickly and odds can close at any moment. It helps to have a clear understanding of the match format and situation beforehand. Betting is for entertainment — not for expecting a specific outcome.
- A good internet connection makes it easier to act quickly in live betting.
- The match scorecard and over-by-over statistics help you understand live odds.
- If the situation changes mid-bet, a cash-out option may be available to cancel the bet.
A Few Things to Consider Before You Start Betting
- Learn the market rules. Read how each market is settled before placing a bet. It is also worth knowing what happens in the event of rain or an abandoned match.
- Set a budget. Decide how much you are willing to spend before each session. Betting is entertainment, not a way to earn income.
- Do not spread across too many markets at once. New bettors can understand the situation better by focusing on one or two markets.
- Follow the live score. Use a trusted scorecard site or app to keep up with the pace of the match.
- Bet responsibly. Set your own limits in line with the Responsible Gaming guidelines and take a break when needed.
- Age requirement: 21+. Cricket betting and all other activities on 995bet are only for those aged 21 or above.
You can also bet through the 995bet mobile app — both Android and iOS versions are available through official channels. If you are also interested in casino games, take a look at the 995bet Casino page.
