Cricket Betting at bd tk1 — from Live Odds to Multi Bets
Bet on cricket matches from Bangladesh and around the world at bd tk1, including BPL, IPL and T20 World Cup. From match winner to top batsman — odds update with every ball.
Cricket Formats and Tournaments
Cricket's three main formats — T20, ODI and Test — each have their own pace and tactics, and they need to be considered differently from a betting perspective too.
T20 is the fastest format — in a 20-over match the result can turn in an instant. BPL is played in this format and is one of the most familiar to fans in Bangladesh. IPL also uses the T20 format, featuring the best players in the world. The T20 World Cup holds a special place in every cricket fan's calendar. Odds move quickly in this format, making it particularly suited to live betting.
ODI matches are played over 50 overs per side. There is more scope for betting on total runs over/under, partnerships and innings build-up.
Test cricket is a long five-day contest. A draw is a valid result here, so markets are set up around three outcomes — team A wins, team B wins, or draw. In Tests you can bet on innings projections right from the first session.
At bd tk1 Bet you can bet on all three formats as well as getting coverage of international and domestic tournaments. Find out more about the bd tk1 Bet sportsbook.
| Format | Overs | Draw possible? | Betting features |
|---|---|---|---|
| T20 | 20 | No | Odds change fast, live betting popular |
| ODI | 50 | No | More total runs and partnership markets |
| Test | Unlimited (5 days) | Yes | Three-outcome market, innings build-up |
Football and Other Sports Betting
Football betting is also popular at bd tk1 alongside cricket. You can bet on the World Cup, European leagues and Asian football. In football the result is decided within 90 minutes, so odds tend to be relatively stable during the match — though live odds shift quickly whenever a goal is scored.
One key difference between cricket and football betting is the possibility of a draw. T20 and ODI cricket have no draw — one team will always win — so markets in these formats are split between just two sides. In football a draw is a common result, so the market works differently.
Beyond cricket and football, betting on tennis, badminton and kabaddi is also available at bd tk1. Markets are structured according to the scoring system and format of each sport.
Popular Betting Markets
Cricket betting offers a range of markets to choose from. Each market has its own characteristics and type of outcome.
Match Winner
A straight bet on which team will win the match. In T20 and ODI there are only two possibilities — team A or team B. Example: if you bet on team B to win and team B does win, the bet is successful.
SimplestToss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss at the start of the match. The outcome depends entirely on the toss and is settled before play begins.
Quick ResultTop Batsman
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs in the whole match or in a single innings. You can choose any batsman from the team, and the bet wins if that batsman finishes as the top scorer.
Skill-BasedTotal Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs in an innings or the whole match will be higher (over) or lower (under) than a set number. Example: if the bookmaker sets the line at 160 runs and you think the total will exceed 160, bet the over.
AnalyticalMulti Bet
Combine selections from multiple matches into a single bet. All selections must be correct for the multi bet to win. Example: three matches with odds of 1.60 × 1.70 × 1.90 = 5.17 (rounded), so a ৳100 bet returns ৳517 — but if any one selection is wrong, the entire ৳100 is lost.
Chance of a Big WinFirst Wicket and Powerplay Runs
A bet on the total runs scored during the powerplay overs (first 6 overs) or on when the first wicket will fall. The result is settled from the very start of the match.
In-Play PopularHow to Read and Understand Odds
Betting odds are expressed in three main formats: decimal, fractional and American. All three represent the same probability — only the way they are written differs. bd tk1 generally uses decimal format, which is the easiest to read and understand.
Example 1 — Team A to win (stake ৳200)
| Format | Odds | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | Total return including stake = ৳200 × 2.25 = ৳450 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳5 profit for every ৳4 staked |
| American | +125 | ৳125 profit on a ৳100 bet |
If team A wins: ৳450 returned (৳250 profit + ৳200 stake). If team A loses: ৳200 is lost.
Example 2 — Team B favourite (stake ৳200)
| Format | Odds | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.50 | Total return including stake = ৳200 × 1.50 = ৳300 |
| Fractional | 1/2 | ৳1 profit for every ৳2 staked |
| American | -200 | A ৳200 bet is required to make ৳100 profit |
If team B wins: ৳300 returned (৳100 profit + ৳200 stake).
American minus odds (-200) mean that team is the favourite — you need to bet ৳200 to make ৳100 profit. Plus odds (+125) mean that team is the underdog. Decimal odds below 1.00 are not possible; decimal 2.00 means even money.
Keep in mind
The higher the decimal odds, the lower the probability but the higher the potential return. Favourite odds are generally between 1.01 and 1.99. Underdog odds are above 2.00.
Live In-Play Betting
Live in-play betting is one of cricket's most engaging features. While a match is in progress, odds shift with every ball, every wicket and every over. This constant movement is what makes live betting distinctive.
For example: if a team loses 3 wickets quickly during the powerplay, that team's odds of winning immediately lengthen (meaning they become the underdog) and the opposing team's odds shorten. Equally, if a batsman plays very well in the final 5 overs, the over/under line for total runs moves upward.
There is very little time to make decisions in in-play betting. Odds update every moment, so you need to place your bet before a market closes. Betting while watching the match live is a noticeably different experience from regular pre-match betting.
- Match winner odds change quickly as wickets fall.
- A new total runs market opens after each over is completed.
- After the powerplay ends, the runs market for the next 5 overs opens.
- Live betting is for entertainment — avoid placing more bets to try to recover losses.
Key moments in live betting
- After the first wicket of the innings falls
- After the powerplay ends
- When the final 10 overs begin
- In the second innings once the target is set
- When the match is close in the final 3 overs
Some Practical Tips Before You Bet
-
Set a budget first
Decide how much you are going to set aside before you start betting. Staying within that limit keeps it enjoyable. -
Focus on one market
Start with a straightforward market like match winner. Betting on many markets at once increases confusion. -
Compare odds
Look at the odds across different markets for the same match. Sometimes the total runs market offers better value than the match winner. -
Avoid rushing in live betting
Time is short in in-play betting, but rather than placing a large stake in a hurry, take a moment and decide with a clear head. -
Treat it as entertainment
Cricket betting is not a reliable way to earn money. It is simply a way to make watching the game more engaging.
