229 bed Cricket Betting — Bet on Every Match from T20 to Test
Enjoy cricket — Bangladesh's most popular sport — even more with 229 bed's betting platform. You can bet across a range of markets on BPL, IPL and international tournaments, from match winner to live in-play.
Cricket's Three Formats and Major Tournaments
Much of the enjoyment of cricket betting depends on which format you understand best. T20 is the fastest format — matches finish in 20 overs, runs come quickly, wickets fall in quick succession, and the picture can change every over. Betting markets in this format shift just as quickly.
ODI, or one-day cricket, is played over 50 overs. Teams generally bat with more of a plan, and the middle overs play an important role. Test cricket is the longest format — it runs over five days, and pitch conditions and weather have a major influence. Test markets are fewer in number, but there is more scope for analysing how a match is unfolding.
Among the competitions most loved by Bangladeshi fans, BPL holds a special place — the combination of watching local franchise teams compete and having something riding on the result makes it unique. IPL is also a favourite for many cricket fans in Bangladesh. The T20 World Cup and ICC tournaments are considered the biggest betting events of the year.
How Betting Differs in Football and Other Sports
At 229 bed, you can bet on football as well as cricket. In football, a draw is a normal result, so there is a "1X2" market — team A wins, draw, or team B wins. In limited-overs cricket, draws do not normally happen, so markets are limited to the two teams.
In football, goal-based markets such as "both teams to score" or "total goals over/under" are popular. Run-based markets in cricket play a similar role. However, individual performance markets in cricket — such as top batsman or highest wicket-taker — are far more varied than their equivalents in football.
In sports like Kabaddi, tennis or basketball, betting markets are relatively straightforward, mostly focused on the match or set winner. Cricket and football offer more variety in their markets, which is why experienced bettors tend to favour these two sports. You can view markets for all sports together at 229 bed Bet.

Popular Betting Markets in Cricket
You can bet on multiple markets in every cricket match. Below is a brief explanation of seven common markets and how they work.
Match Winner
SimplestYou decide which team will win the match — team A or team B. Since T20 and ODI matches do not end in a draw, only two outcomes are possible. If you bet on team A and team A wins, you receive your payout; if team B wins, you lose the bet.
Toss Winner
50/50 ChanceA bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. This is a completely independent event; the strength of the teams plays no part. Odds for both teams are usually close to equal.
Top Batsman
Individual PerformanceA bet on which player within a team will score the most runs. Because several batsmen from the same side are in contention, odds are generally higher. Batting order and current form are worth considering.
Total Runs Over/Under
Run-BasedThe bookmaker sets a specific run total (for example, 160). You bet on whether the team will score more than that (over) or fewer (under). Pitch and weather conditions play an important role here.
Highest Wicket-Taker
Bowling MarketA bet on which bowler will take the most wickets. On spin-friendly pitches this market becomes particularly interesting. With several bowlers in contention, the potential return can also be higher.
Multi Bet
Multiple SelectionsSelections from multiple matches are combined into a single bet. All selections must be correct to win — if even one is wrong, the entire bet is lost. Combined odds are higher, and so is the risk.
Man of the Match Market
A seventh popular market is Man of the Match — a bet on which player will be the standout performer of the game. The entire squad is in contention, so odds are generally high, and bets can be placed up until the match begins.
How to Read Decimal, Fractional and American Odds
Betting sites display odds in three different formats. The same price is expressed in three different ways — once you understand this, there is no more confusion.
Example 1 — Betting on Team A
Team A's decimal odds are 3.00, fractional 2/1, American +200. A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳3,000 in total if team A wins (৳2,000 profit plus your ৳1,000 stake back). If team A loses, you lose ৳1,000.
Example 2 — Betting on Favourite Team B
Team B is the favourite, so the odds are lower — decimal 1.25, fractional 1/4, American -400. American minus odds show how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit (-400 means ৳400). A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,250 if team B wins (৳250 profit).
The higher the odds, the less likely the bookmaker considers that outcome to be — but betting is always for entertainment, and no one can guarantee a profit. Read our guide on responsible gaming to find out more.
In-Play Betting — How the Markets Shift During a Match
Live or in-play betting is the most dynamic way to experience cricket. You can place bets after the match has started — and the odds update with every over, every wicket and every big shot.
Say team A gets off to a strong start in the first innings — their odds of winning will shorten. Then if a wicket suddenly falls, the odds may lengthen again. In the final five overs, odds update second by second based on the required run rate.
In-play markets can also include specific options such as "at what score will the next wicket fall", "how many runs will be scored this over" or "who will score more runs this session". Being able to bet while watching the match makes the experience more engaging.
Keep in mind that in-play betting requires quick decisions — so it is important to set a budget beforehand. Stay within the limit you have set for yourself.
Some Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
- Understand the format before betting: T20 and Test markets are quite different. Focus on the format you understand best — trying to bet across all formats at once is not advisable.
- Pitch and weather: On spin-friendly pitches, wicket markets for spinners become more attractive. Rain and bad light can affect the outcome — this is especially relevant in Test matches.
- Be careful with multi bets: Combined odds in a multi bet may look attractive, but one wrong selection and the entire bet is lost. Start with fewer selections.
- Set a budget: Decide on a limit for yourself before each bet. Betting is for entertainment — avoid chasing losses by placing larger bets after a losing run.
- Stay calm in-play: Odds change quickly in live betting, so it is better not to make decisions based on emotion. After a big shot or a wicket, wait a moment to read the situation before placing a bet.
- Keep toss market stakes low: The toss is a random event — placing large amounts on it is not logical. Match winner and performance markets offer more scope for analysis.
- Take breaks: Betting for long stretches without a break reduces your ability to make good decisions. Step away occasionally and read the FAQ to stay clear on the betting rules.
- Know the rules and terms: Familiarise yourself with the platform's rules before placing bets. Reading the terms and conditions helps avoid confusion later.
