Cricket betting at pk 999 — every format from T20 to Test
pk 999 brings detailed betting markets for BPL, IPL and international matches to cricket fans in Bangladesh. Place bets from before the first ball to the last.
The three cricket formats and popular tournaments
T20 — the fastest format
BPL IPL T20 World CupEvery ball counts in this twenty-over format. The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) and IPL are the most watched tournaments among Bangladeshi fans. Odds shift quickly in T20, which makes live betting particularly engaging.
ODI — the fifty-over contest
ICC World Cup Bilateral SeriesOne-day matches combine strategy and patience. The situation can change considerably mid-match, creating fresh betting opportunities at different stages of each innings. Major markets are active during the ICC World Cup and bilateral series.
Test — the classic five-day cricket
ICC Test Championship BilateralIn Test cricket a draw is a valid result, so the market offers three options: Team A win, Team B win, draw. Pitch behaviour changes over five days, which affects the odds. For those who prefer a slower, more strategic approach to betting, this format is an interesting option.
Football and other sports
As well as cricket, you can bet on football at pk 999. Football matches last ninety minutes and the markets are relatively straightforward — match winner, total goals, and handicap. In cricket, odds can shift with every over and every wicket, offering more variety than football.
pk 999 also offers betting markets on sports like tennis, badminton and kabaddi. However, cricket is by far the most familiar sport for Bangladeshi users, and a large share of betting activity centres around it.

Popular betting markets
Several cricket markets are available at pk 999. Below is a brief introduction to seven familiar markets.
Match Winner
The most familiar market. Predict which of the two teams will win. T20 and ODI generally offer two options; Test offers three (Team A win, Team B win, draw). Example: if you pick Team B and Team B wins, you receive a payout according to the odds.
Toss Result
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match. The outcome depends entirely on the coin, so the odds for the two options are usually close to each other. Example: if you bet on Team A to win the toss and they do, you receive a payout.
Top Batsman
Bet on which batsman from a given team will score the most runs in that innings. Because there are many options in this market, odds tend to be higher. Example: if you pick a specific batsman from Team A and they score the most runs, the bet is won.
Total Runs Over / Under
Predict whether the total runs in the match will be above or below a set number. This market focuses on the scorecard rather than which team wins. Example: if the over/under line for a T20 match is 320 runs, bet on whether the total will be higher or lower.
Top Wicket-Taker
Bet on which bowler will take the most wickets. Pitch conditions and weather play an important role here. Example: if you bet on a pace bowler from Team B to be the top wicket-taker and they are, you receive a payout.
Multi Bet (combining multiple bets)
Multiple bets are combined in the hope of a larger return. The odds are multiplied, so the potential return can be much bigger — but if any single bet is wrong, the entire multi bet is lost. Example: three separate bets with odds of 1.40, 1.60 and 1.80 give combined odds of 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.80 = 4.03, so a ৳100 stake returns ৳403 if all three are correct; if one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
Handicap Betting
A notional advantage is given to the weaker team to level the market. Example: if Team A is given a -15 run handicap, Team A must win by more than 15 runs to be considered the winner in this market. The exact margin required is stated in the pk 999 market.
How to read odds — three formats
pk 999 displays odds in three familiar formats: Decimal, Fractional, and American. All three express the same probability — only the way they are written differs. The two examples below make this clear.
Example 1 — odds for the winning team (Team A)
Say you place a ৳1,000 bet on Team A to win. Here are three expressions of the same price across the three formats:
| Format | Value | Total Return | Profit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | ৳2,250 | ৳1,250 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳2,250 | ৳1,250 |
| American | +125 | ৳2,250 | ৳1,250 |
If the bet wins you get back ৳2,250 (৳1,250 profit + ৳1,000 original stake); if it loses, ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — odds for the favourite (Team B)
Team B is the market favourite, so the odds are lower. On a ৳1,000 bet:
| Format | Value | Total Return | Profit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.25 | ৳1,250 | ৳250 |
| Fractional | 1/4 | ৳1,250 | ৳250 |
| American | -400 | ৳1,250 | ৳250 |
American -400 means a ৳400 stake wins ৳100 profit. If Team B wins, you get back ৳1,250 in total (৳250 profit).
Quick reference
- In Decimal format, total return = stake × odds
- Fractional 5/4 = ৳5 profit for every ৳4 staked
- American + means underdog, − means favourite
- The higher the odds, the greater the risk and potential return
Live Betting — betting while the match is on
Betting that opens after a match has started is called in-play or live betting. The live betting section for cricket at pk 999 is particularly active — odds update instantly when a wicket falls or a big six is hit.
Say Team A makes a strong start in the first ten overs — Team A's odds of winning will shorten, while Team B's will lengthen. A quick wicket can reverse this. Live betting while watching the match requires much more attention as you analyse the situation as it develops.
In T20, markets can update at the end of every over, so betting opportunities come up relatively often. In ODI, significant shifts occur during the powerplay and death overs. In Test matches, markets are re-evaluated at the end of each session.
Before placing a live bet, it is worth reading the responsible gaming guidelines once.
When a wicket falls
The batting team's odds lengthen, the bowling team's shorten
After a big over
When the batsman scores quickly, the batting team becomes the favourite
Rain interruption
If the match is halted, the market may also be temporarily suspended
Watch the run rate
The required run rate is the main driver of odds
Some practical tips for betting
These are not a guarantee of profit — cricket betting is for entertainment, and the possibility of losing is equally present in every bet.
Choose one format first
T20, ODI and Test differ in pace and available markets. Focusing on one format to begin with makes the markets easier to understand.
Set a fixed budget
Decide in advance how much you will spend in each session. Even if you lose, do not go beyond that limit.
Understand the odds formats
Having a clear understanding of Decimal, Fractional and American formats reduces confusion when placing bets.
Be careful with multi bets
Multi bets can offer larger returns but carry higher risk — if any single bet is wrong, everything is lost. Try with small amounts.
Be patient in live betting
Rushing into decisions in live betting is not a good idea. Wait for the situation to settle before placing a bet.
Treat it as entertainment
Betting is not a source of income; it is a form of entertainment. Keeping this perspective makes the experience enjoyable.
Beyond cricket — other games
Alongside cricket betting, pk 999 has several other games. The Boom Legend fishing game by JILI offers a completely different experience — great to play during or after a live cricket match.
Another popular offering from JILI is the Bingo Adventure bingo game, which can be played directly from a mobile device with simple rules.
