fa 999 Cricket Betting — Bet from T20 to Test Matches
You can now bet on BPL, IPL, the T20 World Cup, and international cricket. Open an account on the fa 999 sports betting section and start betting across markets ranging from match winner to top batsman.
Cricket Formats and Tournaments
Cricket is played in three main formats — T20, ODI, and Test. Each format has its own character, and the betting markets work differently across each one.
T20 is the fastest format — matches are completed in 20 overs. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL (Indian Premier League) are especially popular with Bangladeshi fans. The run rate changes quickly in this format, which creates many opportunities for live betting.
ODI matches have 50 overs. Major tournaments such as the ICC World Cup and Champions Trophy are held in this format. In Bangladesh Tigers matches, bettors are generally drawn to match winner and over/under markets.
Test is cricket's longest format — played over five days. Three outcomes are possible here including a draw, so the market structure is slightly different. Pitch conditions and weather play a major role in Test match betting.
The T20 World Cup and ICC tournaments also bring the world's best teams together, where betting markets become even more varied.
Football and Other Sports Betting
At fa 999 you can bet on football, tennis, and other sports in addition to cricket. There are some differences in how betting works across them.
In football, three outcomes are possible in each match — home win, away win, or draw. You can bet on matches across the World Cup, Euros, or various domestic leagues. Handicap and goal over/under markets are especially popular in football.
The main difference between cricket and football is the scoring system and match pace. In cricket, odds shift with every wicket or boundary, which makes in-play betting particularly interesting. In football, odds change slowly when there are no goals.
Using fa 999's sports betting section, you can bet on cricket, football, and other sports from the same account. Separate markets and odds are available for each sport.

Popular Betting Markets
Match Winner
You bet on which team will win the match. In T20 and ODI formats there are only two outcomes — Team A wins or Team B wins. In Test there is a third possibility: the draw. Example: if Team A's odds are 1.45 and Team B's are 2.75, a ৳1,000 bet on Team B returns ৳2,750 in total if Team B wins (৳1,750 profit).
Toss Winner
A bet on which team will win the coin toss before the match. This is a unique market in cricket. Since the chance of winning the toss is equal for both sides, odds are usually close to even. Example: both Team A and Team B may have toss winner odds of around 1.90.
Top Batsman
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs in that innings. Players higher in the batting order generally have lower odds, while lower-order players have higher odds. Example: Team A's opening batsman at odds of 2.50, a middle-order player at 4.00.
Total Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs in the match or a specific innings will be above or below a set number. Example: in a T20 match the total runs line is 160.5 — choosing over means you expect the total to be 161 or more.
Runs Before First Wicket
A bet on how many runs will be scored before the first wicket falls. The openers' form and pitch conditions play an important role in this market. Example: the line before the first wicket may be set at 25.5 runs.
Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
You can build a multi bet by combining three or more bets together. If three selections have odds of 1.40, 1.70, and 1.80, the combined odds are 1.40 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.28 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳428 if all selections are correct — but if even one is wrong, the entire ৳100 is lost.
Man of the Match
A prediction of which player will receive the player of the match award at the end of the game. There is more uncertainty in this market, so odds are generally higher. Example: odds for five likely candidates may range from 3.00 to 8.00.
Decimal, Fractional, and American Odds Formats
Betting sites usually display odds in three formats — decimal, fractional, and American. All three express the same probability, just written differently. Most bettors in Bangladesh are used to the decimal format.
| Format | Odds for Team A to Win | Return on ৳1,000 Bet |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | ৳3,000 (৳2,000 profit + ৳1,000 stake) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳3,000 (৳2,000 profit + ৳1,000 stake) |
| American | +200 | ৳3,000 (৳2,000 profit + ৳1,000 stake) |
Example 1 — betting on a team to win (Team A wins): Decimal 3.00 equals fractional 2/1 and American +200 — all three say the same thing. A winning ৳1,000 bet returns ৳3,000 (৳2,000 profit and ৳1,000 stake returned). If the bet loses, the full ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — betting on the favourite (Team B wins): Team B's odds: decimal 1.50 = fractional 1/2 = American -200. American minus odds show how much you need to bet to win ৳100. Here a ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,500 (৳500 profit).
Simple rule for decimal odds
Multiply the odds figure by your stake amount — that is your total return (including the stake). The higher the odds, the greater the return but the lower the chance of winning.
What is RTP? RTP (Return to Player) is a theoretical measure of what percentage of bets a game or market returns on average over the long term. It does not guarantee a win in any specific match.
LIVELive In-Play Betting
The ability to bet after a match has started is called in-play or live betting. In cricket this feature is especially useful because the situation can change with every ball.
When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds lengthen immediately. If three wickets fall quickly, the bowling team's odds of winning shorten noticeably. Conversely, if a batsman hits two sixes in a row, the batting team's odds shorten.
The run rate per over also affects betting markets. If fewer runs are scored in the powerplay overs, the over line for total runs in the remaining innings may drop. When the required run rate climbs sharply in the last five overs, the chasing team's odds can shift dramatically.
Live betting is more convenient on the fa 999 app. The fa 999 app is available for both Android and iOS, and can be obtained through official channels.

Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is entertainment — not a regular source of income. Keeping the following points in mind will make the betting experience more organised and enjoyable.
Focus on one market
Rather than playing many markets at once when starting out, try to understand one or two markets well. Match winner or total runs are good places to begin.
Set a budget
Decide in advance how much you will bet on each match and do not go beyond that limit. Increasing your bet out of fear of losing is not a wise move.
Understand the format before betting
T20, ODI, and Test play differently. The top batsman market in Test works differently from T20 — learn the characteristics of each format.
Compare odds
The odds for the same event can differ across markets. Before placing a bet, look at different markets and try to understand why there is a difference.
Be careful with multi bets
Multi bets can offer higher potential returns, but if one selection loses the whole bet is gone. Adding more than three selections increases the risk considerably.
Bet responsibly
Enjoy betting as entertainment. If you have trouble controlling your betting, read the responsible gaming guidelines and set limits if needed.
