39 bd Cricket Betting — Best Odds on Every Ball and Every Wicket
From BPL and IPL to the T20 World Cup — 39 bd offers Bangladeshi players a simple, fast and secure betting experience across every cricket format.
Cricket's Three Formats and Bangladesh's Favourite Tournaments
To understand cricket betting, you first need to know how each format is played. The pace and strategy of each format are different, so the betting markets differ too.
T20 Cricket
This format lasts just 20 overs and is the fastest-paced. BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup are all played in this format. Situations can change in an instant, which is why live betting is especially popular here. One big over or two quick wickets can shift the odds dramatically.
ODI Cricket
This 50-over format covers the ICC Cricket World Cup and bilateral series. It is not as explosive as T20, but results can be more uncertain. Watching how odds move during mid-innings powerplays or after batting changes makes for interesting live betting.
Test Cricket
In five-day Test cricket, the match winner market includes a draw option — something not available in T20 or ODI. Bangladesh Tigers' Test matches hold special importance for local fans. Pitch conditions and weather directly affect the outcome here.
Tournaments popular with Bangladeshi fans
BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) — Played between local teams, BPL generates huge excitement across the country. More matches in the tournament means more betting opportunities.
IPL — This Indian franchise tournament is widely popular in Bangladesh too. With the world's top players taking part and a large number of matches, it is a major betting event.
T20 World Cup and International Series — ICC events are the biggest competitive stage. Odds fluctuate the most here and the variety of markets is at its highest.
Alongside cricket, you can also bet on football, tennis and other sports at 39 bd Bet.
Football and Other Sports Betting
Cricket betting is the most popular section at 39 bd, but football and several other sports are available here too.
Football betting is quite different from cricket. In cricket, match outcomes depend on many over-by-over events such as each wicket or a big partnership. In football there are three main outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw. Goal line, corners and cards markets are also popular.
Because football is a low-scoring sport compared to cricket, a single goal can change the course of a match. This means odds in live football betting shift very quickly. In cricket, on the other hand, odds can change slightly on every single ball.
Markets are available for other sports too, such as tennis, volleyball and badminton. These generally feature match winner and game spread markets. While they do not have as many in-match markets as cricket, the betting experience is still good.
If you are interested in casino games alongside sports betting, the BeterLive Live Casino offers a different experience — where you can play live games with real dealers.
Cricket vs Football Betting — Key Differences
- Cricket creates a new betting moment on every ball
- Fewer goals in football mean odds can jump sharply
- A draw result is also possible in Test match cricket
- Season-long league table betting is popular in football
- Cricket has more top batsman and top bowler markets
- Both sports support multi bets and single bets
7 Popular Cricket Betting Markets
Understanding how each market works makes betting easier and more enjoyable. Below is a straightforward explanation of the most commonly used markets.
Match Winner
The simplest market. In T20 and ODI there are two outcomes — Team A wins or Team B wins. In Test a third option, draw, is added. Example: if Team A's odds to win are 1.80, a ৳500 bet returns ৳900 if they win.
Most PopularToss Betting
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. There are only two possible outcomes — one for each team — so odds for both sides tend to be close. This market is settled quickly and is straightforward.
Quick ResultTop Batsman
Which player will score the most runs in the match? In this market you pick the highest run-scorer from within one team. Even without knowing the players well, you can consider the batting order and current form.
Player PropTotal Runs Over/Under
The bookmaker sets a runs target (for example, 155). You bet on whether the total runs scored in the match will be over or under that number. Pitch conditions and weather should be factored into your decision.
Runs BasedFirst Wicket Market
Bet on how many overs it will take for the first wicket to fall, or which opener will be dismissed first. These markets are settled within the first few overs of an innings. They are a good example of how quickly odds can change in live betting.
Start of InningsMulti Bet (Multiple Selections)
A single bet slip is built from several matches or events at once. If all selections win, the combined odds multiply together and the return can be much higher. However, if even one selection loses, the entire slip is lost.
High Return PossibleMulti Bet Example
Say you make three selections across three different matches — with decimal odds of 1.60, 1.70 and 1.90 respectively. The combined multi bet odds are 1.60 × 1.70 × 1.90 = 5.17 (approximately). A ৳100 stake returns ৳517 if all three selections win. Keep in mind that if one selection loses, the entire ৳100 is lost.
How to Read Odds — Three Formats
Betting sites display three types of odds formats. The same outcome can be written in three different ways, but the calculation is the same.
| Format | Team A (Win) | Team B (Win) | Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.80 | Multiply by your stake to get total return |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 4/5 | ৳4 profit for every ৳5 staked |
| American | +125 | -125 | + means profit on a ৳100 bet; - means how much you need to stake to win ৳100 |
Example 1 — Team A wins (odds 2.25 = 5/4 = +125)
A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳2,250 if Team A wins — meaning ৳1,250 profit plus your original ৳1,000 back. If Team A loses, you lose ৳1,000. All three formats shown represent exactly the same outcome.
Example 2 — Team B wins (favourite, odds 1.80 = 4/5 = -125)
Team B is the favourite, so the odds are lower. A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,800 if Team B wins — meaning only ৳800 profit. The American -125 means you need to stake ৳125 to win ৳100.
Which format should you use?
- Decimal — Most commonly used in Bangladesh. Multiply by your stake to get the total return.
- Fractional — British tradition. Shows the profit ratio directly.
- American — + means underdog, - means favourite. Takes a little getting used to.
- All three formats express the same probability — only the way they are written differs.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Change as the Match Goes On
Betting after a match has started is called live betting. Every wicket, every big over — all of it affects the odds.
Live betting in T20 cricket is the most fast-moving. If three wickets fall in the powerplay, the batting team's odds to win will suddenly lengthen — because their chances have dropped. Conversely, if two batsmen build a big partnership, their team's odds to win will shorten.
You can bet on over-by-over markets — how many runs will be scored in the next over, or whether a wicket will fall. These markets are settled within milliseconds and new odds are generated immediately.
Live betting in ODI is a bit slower, but odds can shift significantly just before and after the innings break. In Test cricket, odds are updated every day across five days as each new session unfolds.
Before you start betting, it is a good idea to read the responsible gaming guidelines — setting limits for your entertainment is always sensible.

Some Useful Advice Before You Start Betting
Betting is a form of entertainment. Keeping a few basic things in mind will make the experience better.
Set a Budget First
Decide how much you will spend in each session before you begin. Do not go beyond that limit — whether you are winning or losing.
Start with One Market
If you are a new bettor, focus only on the match winner market. Instead of trying to understand many markets at once, take it step by step.
Understand the Situation by Format
In T20, a single over can turn the whole match. In ODI, mid-innings conditions matter. In Test, watch the pace of the match with patience.
No Rushing in Live Betting
The temptation to decide quickly is there because odds change fast. Consider each bet separately.
