Cricket Betting at cv999 — bet on every ball from T20 to Test
BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup or bilateral series — you can bet on all cricket formats at cv999. From match winner to live betting, the full list of markets is always within reach.
Cricket's three formats and major tournaments
Cricket is played in three main formats — T20, One Day (ODI) and Test. Each format plays differently, so the betting markets vary as well.
T20 matches are fast, finishing in just a few hours. Wickets falling, big shots, last-over drama — everything happens at pace here. This format is most popular in BPL and IPL.
ODI teams approach the game differently — planning to score runs across 50 overs while managing the pressure of protecting wickets in the middle overs are both important. ODI betting is quite active during ICC events and bilateral series.
Test cricket is a five-day game. Predicting results here is harder — pitch behaviour, weather and the wicket-keeper's role all have a significant effect on betting markets. You can place separate bets on the Tigers' Test matches at cv999.
Football and other sports betting
At cv999, you can bet on football alongside cricket. There are some fundamental differences between cricket betting and football betting. Cricket has toss, over, wicket and individual performance-based markets, which football does not. The main football markets are match winner (1X2), number of goals and handicap.
While a draw is possible in Test cricket, it is not in T20 or ODI, so those markets are limited to two teams. In football, the three-outcome market (home win, draw, away win) means odds are distributed differently.
Basketball betting is also available at cv999. Point spread and total points markets are most popular in basketball. Go to that page for more details on basketball betting.
Football vs Cricket
- The toss market in cricket offers a separate opportunity
- The draw option in football changes the odds
- Live odds change quickly in T20
- Multi bets can be placed on both sports
Popular betting markets and a simple introduction to each
A variety of markets are available for cricket betting at cv999. Below is a brief description of seven popular markets.
Match Winner market
This market asks which of the two teams will win. There is no draw in T20 or ODI, so the market is straightforward — Team A or Team B? Example: if you bet on Team A and Team A wins, you receive a return; if Team B wins, you lose the bet.
Toss Winner market
The toss is a unique market in cricket. You can bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. This is entirely dependent on chance — a team's performance plays no role here.
Top Run Scorer
This market is about which batter in a given team will score the most runs in an innings or a match. A player's recent form is relevant here, but the result can go either way.
Total Runs Over/Under
A specific number is set — for example, total runs in an innings. The bet is whether the actual total will be higher (over) or lower (under) than that number. Pitch conditions and a team's batting lineup play a role here.
Top Wicket Taker
You can bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in a match. Whether the pitch favours spin or pace has an effect on bowling markets.
Multi Bet
You can combine multiple selections into a single bet. You receive a return only if all selections are correct; if even one is wrong, the entire bet is lost. A multi bet increases the potential return, but the risk also increases.
Reading odds — an explanation of three formats
Odds on betting platforms are generally shown in three formats — Decimal, Fractional and American. All three formats convey the same information; only the way they are written differs.
Example 1 — the same odds in three formats (Team A to win, bet ৳200):
| Format | Odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Bet × 2.50 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳3 profit for every ৳2 |
| American | +150 | ৳150 profit on a ৳100 bet |
If Team A wins, total return from a ৳200 bet is ৳500 (৳300 profit + ৳200 original stake). If Team A loses, ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — favourite's odds (Team B to win):
| Format | Odds |
|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.50 |
| Fractional | 1/2 |
| American | −200 (you need to bet ৳200 to win ৳100) |
Because Team B is the favourite, the odds are lower. A ৳200 bet returns ৳300 (৳100 profit).
Combined odds in a multi bet
Three selections — decimal 1.40, 1.50 and 1.80 — combined give 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.80 = 3.78 (approximately). So a ৳100 bet returns ৳378 — but only if all three selections are correct. If even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
Live betting — odds change every over
In in-play or live betting, you can place bets while a match is in progress. Odds update automatically after every over, every wicket and every boundary.
Say Team A and Team B had roughly equal odds at the start of the match. If Team A loses five wickets in the first few overs, Team B's chances of winning increase — and the odds shift accordingly. Betting on Team B at that point means a smaller return, because everyone is backing the same side.
In live betting, decisions need to be made quickly. Odds may only be on screen for a few seconds. Also, after a powerplay over, total runs markets shift based on the current run rate.
- When a wicket falls, total runs odds drop immediately
- A high-scoring over in the last 5 overs pushes the over odds up
- The live match winner market updates continuously
- Specific over run markets (such as the powerplay) are only available in live betting
Some practical tips for cricket betting
Betting is a form of entertainment. Rather than viewing it as a source of income, it is better to enjoy it within limits. Following the responsible gaming policy keeps the experience healthier.
-
Set your stake amount in advance
Decide how much you will bet on a match before you start. It is not a good idea to increase the amount based on whether you are winning or losing. -
Focus on one format
The markets for T20, ODI and Test are different. Once you understand one format well, focusing on it makes decisions easier. -
Be careful with multi bets
Adding many selections to a multi bet increases the potential return, but a single wrong pick loses the entire bet. -
Avoid rushing in live betting
Because odds change fast, making quick decisions feels natural. But bets placed in a hurry are often wrong. -
Compare odds
Look at the odds across different markets for the same match. At cv999, odds for multiple markets can be viewed at the same time. -
Keep entertainment as the goal
Betting can be an extra bit of fun alongside the enjoyment of watching cricket — but it should not become the sole purpose.
How does a betting exchange work?
On a betting exchange, you can bet not only in favour of a win (BACK) but also against it (LAY). Example: BACK Team A with ৳1,000 at decimal odds of 1.80 — if Team A wins, you make ৳800 profit (minus commission); if they do not win, you lose ৳1,000. LAY Team A and your liability is ৳800 (৳1,000 × 0.80); if Team A does not win, you make ৳1,000; if Team A wins, you pay ৳800 (minus commission).
