mw99 Cricket Betting Markets Compared

Short answer: if you want one bet and no homework, take the match winner. If you follow every ball and want to act on what you see, use the single-over and live markets. Totals and top-player bets sit in the middle: fewer wins, bigger prices, more thinking before you tap.

This page lines up five cricket markets on the same scoreboard, with sample decimal prices, what each one needs from you, and which one fits the way you actually watch a match.

Prices shown here are samples only. Live prices move between deliveries and are never fixed.

Five markets on one scoreboard

The table runs the same five options from top to bottom. Read the second column first: it tells you what has to happen for the bet to pay. The price column is a sample range in decimal form, so you can multiply any stake into it. Difficulty is about the amount of research, not the size of the win.

Market How you win Difficulty Sample decimal price Usually suits
Match winner Back the team that wins. Settles on the official result of the match. Easy 1.55 – 2.90 First-time bettors
Total runs over or under Pick a line set for the whole match and choose over or under. Settles on the official total. Medium 1.80 – 2.10 Bettors who read conditions
Top batter or top bowler Your player must finish as the highest run-scorer, or the leading wicket-taker, in the match. Hard 3.50 – 9.00 Squad watchers
Runs in a single over Bet on the runs in one named over, above or below a set number. Settles in minutes. Hard, fast 1.70 – 2.40 Live match viewers
Live betting You take the price on screen at the moment you tap. The market reprices after each ball. Medium to hard 1.50 – 4.00 Anyone watching ball by ball

How a decimal price pays you back

Sample stake৳1,000
Sample price2.10
Return৳2,100
Profit৳1,100

Stake times price equals the total that comes back, including your stake. So ৳1,000 at a sample 2.10 returns ৳2,100, and the profit on top of your own money is ৳1,100. A price of 1.55 on the same stake returns ৳1,550.

Keep the minimum in mind when you plan: deposits start at ৳400 and the smallest withdrawal request is ৳1,400, so the first few bets need a balance that can survive both.

Match winner: one call, two teams

Difficulty: easy

You pick the team that wins the match, and nothing else matters. If your side takes it, the bet pays. A tie, a no-result or an abandoned game is normally settled by pushing the stake back to your balance, but check the rule written on the market card before you stake.

Sample Decimal price range 1.55 – 2.90

What works

  • No line to read, no player names, no over count.
  • Settles as soon as the last ball is bowled.
  • Easy to place on a phone, even on a weak connection.

What to weigh

  • Prices on a strong favourite come back short.
  • One bad over for your team and there is no way back.
  • Toss and pitch news can move the price an hour before the start.

Who it suits: anyone placing a first bet, and anyone who wants a single open position on a match they will not sit through ball by ball. If you cannot name the other side's opening bowlers, this is the one to use.

Total runs: over or under the line

Difficulty: medium

The book sets a line for the match, for example three hundred and twenty runs across both innings, and you choose whether the combined score finishes above or below it. Your call does not depend on who wins, which is the point of the market.

Sample Decimal price range 1.80 – 2.10

What works

  • You can be right about the pitch without picking a winner.
  • Both sides of the line are priced close, so the return per risk is tidy.
  • Works well on grounds where you already know the scoring pattern.

What to weigh

  • Needs a view on the pitch, the outfield and the batting order.
  • Rain and a shortened innings can change or void the line.
  • A late collapse from either side decides it for you.

Who it suits: bettors who follow conditions more than teams. On a slow, low-bouncing surface where you expect a scrappy game, the under side is easier to argue than either team's chances.

Top batter and top bowler: name the standout

Difficulty: hard

You pick one player to finish with the most runs, or the most wickets, in the match. Batting position, how deep the innings goes, and whether your player bowls in the powerplay or at the death all decide this. A player who does not bat can void the pick.

Sample Decimal price range 3.50 – 9.00

What works

  • A small stake can return a serious amount at these prices.
  • Rewards people who actually follow the squads.
  • Plenty of choice in a tournament with big squads and rotation.

What to weigh

  • One big partnership can push your pick down the list.
  • A rain-shortened innings cuts the overs your bowler can use.
  • Team news arrives late and can change who opens.

Who it suits: people who watch the BPL closely and know who opens, who takes the new ball and who is in form this month. Not a market for a first bet unless you accept a long wait for a payout.

Runs in one over: the shortest wait

Difficulty: hard, fast

Pick a named over and bet on the runs it produces, or on whether that count finishes above or below a set number. The market opens and settles inside two or three minutes, so there is no long wait and no time to change your mind.

Sample Decimal price range 1.70 – 2.40

What works

  • Result in minutes, not hours.
  • You can use what you saw in the previous over.
  • Small stakes go a long way when the price is near even money.

What to weigh

  • One wide or one mis-hit six flips the whole over.
  • You need a live stream or a very fast score feed.
  • Easy to keep re-betting after a loss, so set a limit first.

Who it suits: experienced bettors with the match on screen who want a short position and a quick answer. If you are checking scores every five minutes on a phone, skip this one.

Live betting on mw99: ball by ball

Difficulty: medium to hard

Live markets reprice after every delivery, and you take the number on screen at the moment you tap. A wicket pushes the price on the batting side up; two quick boundaries pull it back down. Treat the figure as valid for seconds, not minutes.

Sample Decimal price range 1.50 – 4.00

What works

  • You can act on what you are actually watching.
  • Useful for covering an open pre-match bet.
  • Widest choice: from the next ball to the match winner.

What to weigh

  • The price can move while you confirm the stake.
  • It is easy to chase a loss straight after a wicket.
  • Needs a steady connection and an up-to-date app.

Who it suits: match watchers who decide the stake before they open the live list, not after a boundary. The app keeps the scoreboard and the prices on one screen, which is why most live players use it.

Floodlit cricket ground with a batter mid-shot and close fielders on a striped outfield

Match night: reading the board before you tap

Under floodlights the top of the screen shows runs and overs, and the market list sits directly below it. Every price is built from that scoreline, so read the score before you read the odds. If the feed freezes, refresh before you stake anything.

On a phone the scoreboard and the markets stack in one column. Keep the price visible while you type the stake, because a live price can change between the tap and the confirmation.

Pick a market by your situation

Most people do not need five markets. They need one that matches the time they have, the stake they are comfortable with and how closely they plan to watch. Find the line that sounds like your evening.

Your first bet, ৳500 in the account

Take the match winner on the side you rate. You only need to know which team is stronger, and the bet settles on the result rather than on a number you have to predict.Go with: match winner

You have a view on the pitch

A dry, turning surface in Mirpur, two spinners in the side: totals are the natural market. Choose a line and pick the side of it, and you can be right even if the team you dislike wins.Go with: total runs over or under

You follow the BPL squads properly

If you already know who opens and who bowls the death overs, top batter or top bowler gives you a price that pays for the homework. Small stake, long wait, bigger return if it lands.Go with: top batter or top bowler

Rain is forecast all evening

Shortened matches unsettle totals and one-over markets. The match result settles on the official outcome, so read the rule card if play is likely to be interrupted and keep the stake modest.Go with: match winner, small stake

You watch on a phone, second screen on

Live betting and single-over markets are built for exactly this. Decide the stake before the over starts, place it, and then let the match finish without adding another.Go with: live betting

Four checks before you stake

The same four steps work on every market on this page, whether you are on a laptop before the toss or on a phone at 9pm.

  1. 1

    Read the full market name

    "Total runs over three hundred and twenty" is a complete sentence about your bet. "Total runs" on its own is not. Check the line, the innings and the over number before anything else.

  2. 2

    Work out the return before you confirm

    Multiply the stake by the decimal price. A ৳500 stake at a sample 1.80 returns ৳900. If that number does not feel worth the risk, change the stake rather than the market.

  3. 3

    Check the settlement rule

    Rain, a tie, a super over, a retired batter: each market handles them differently. The rule sits on the market card. Thirty seconds of reading saves an argument later.

  4. 4

    Confirm once and watch the slip

    Tap once, then check the open bet in your slip. On live markets the confirmation can take a second longer than the price suggests, so wait for the accepted status.

Questions about the five markets

Which market is easiest for a first cricket bet?
Match winner. You only decide which team is stronger, and the bet settles on the official result. There is no line to study and no player to track. Once you have two or three of those behind you, totals become much easier to read.
How do I work out what a cricket bet pays?
Stake multiplied by the decimal price gives the total return, including your stake. A sample ৳1,000 at 2.10 returns ৳2,100, so the profit is ৳1,100. Nothing on mw99 pays in points or credits: the figure you see is ৳ (BDT).
Can I open a second market while the first bet is running?
Yes. Open bets stay open until they settle, and nothing stops you from adding another market on the same match. Keep the total at risk in view, especially on live markets where prices move quickly.
What happens to my bet if rain stops play?
It depends on the market and on how much play has happened. Totals and one-over bets can be recalculated or voided when overs are lost, while the match result follows the official outcome. The rule is written on the market card, and our live chat team is available all night if you want it explained.
Do bonus funds work on these markets?
The first deposit bonus adds 200% up to ৳13,000 on a minimum deposit of ৳400, with 16× wagering before withdrawal. Cricket markets count towards that, but check the game list on the bonus page first, since some markets are excluded from wagering.
Do I need the app for live betting?
No, but it is smoother. The app is free, 52 MB, runs on Android 6.0 and above, and keeps the scoreboard and the prices on the same screen. Browser play works fine too if you only bet before the toss. Withdrawals usually take about 21 minutes.
