tkbet Cricket Betting — Best Markets from BPL to T20 World Cup
tkbet offers a wide range of betting markets for cricket fans in Bangladesh — live in-play odds, multiple match formats and easy payment options, all in one place.
Cricket Formats and Favourite Tournaments
In Bangladesh, cricket is more than a sport — it is a passion. The three main formats — T20, ODI and Test — each offer a different kind of strategy and betting opportunity.
T20: In this twenty-over format, the result can change at any moment. BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup are the three most popular tournaments among Bangladeshi fans. From a betting perspective, varying run rates and power play moments cause rapid shifts in odds.
ODI: In this fifty-over format, odds shift gradually throughout the match, giving more time for in-play betting. ICC one-day series and international matches are popular in this category.
Test: Five-day Test cricket offers a slower betting market but more room for deeper analysis. Pitch conditions, weather and batting and bowling line-ups all combine to make Test betting a distinct experience.
tkbet covers international matches and domestic leagues across all three formats. During the BPL season in particular, many users from Dhaka and across the country are active on the platform.
Football and Other Sports — How Are They Different?
tkbet is not limited to cricket. Football betting is also popular here, but there are some key differences from cricket. In football, aside from a match winner, a draw is also a possible result, so the market works with three outcomes — the home team can win, the away team can win, or it can be a draw. In cricket (especially T20 and ODI), a draw is generally not possible, so odds are set across just two outcomes.
Football is better known for handicap markets, corners and cards markets, while cricket offers its own variety through toss markets, individual player performance markets and over-by-over run markets. tkbet also has markets for other sports like basketball and tennis, where point spreads and set-based markets are notable.
Betting on any sport should be part of your entertainment — always keep your bets within a limit that suits you. Read the terms and conditions to understand the rules around betting.
Popular Betting Markets — Where to Bet in Cricket?
Multiple types of markets are open for each match. See the most familiar ones below.
Match Winner
Which team will win the match — the simplest market. For example, in Team A vs Team B, if you favour Team B, place your bet directly on them.
Toss Winner
You can bet separately on who will win the toss. This is unrelated to the match result, so odds are generally close for both sides.
Top Batsman
Who will score the most runs in the match? If you think a particular batter is in good form, place a bet on their name in the top scorer market.
Total Runs Over/Under
Will the total runs scored in an innings be above or below a set number? In this market you only need to think about the volume of runs, not which team performs better.
Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
Combine results from three separate matches into one bet — the odds of all three selections are multiplied together, but if even one is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Method of First Wicket
How will the first wicket fall — caught, bowled, run out or another method? This market is popular among experienced bettors.
Learn to Read Odds — Three Formats
Odds are written in three different formats: Decimal, Fractional and American. All three convey the same information, just expressed differently.
Say you want to place a ৳1,000 bet on Team A to win. The odds are 2.50 decimal, 3/2 fractional and +150 American. Although the three formats look different, the result is the same — if Team A wins, you receive ৳2,500 in total (৳1,500 profit plus your ৳1,000 stake back). If Team A loses, you lose ৳1,000.
Now suppose Team B is a strong favourite, with odds of 1.25 decimal, 1/4 fractional and -400 American. A negative American odds number means how much you need to stake to win ৳100 in profit. On a ৳1,000 bet, if Team B wins, you receive ৳1,250 in total (only ৳250 profit).
This means a favourite has lower odds, so the profit is also lower. An underdog has higher odds, so the payout is larger if they win.
| Odds Format | Team A (Underdog) | Team B (Favourite) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.25 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 1/4 |
| American | +150 | -400 |
| Return on ৳1,000 Bet | ৳2,500 (Profit ৳1,500) |
৳1,250 (Profit ৳250) |
| If You Lose | The full ৳1,000 stake is lost | |

Live Betting During the Match — Odds Change Every Over
In-play betting lets you place bets after a match has already started. In cricket this is especially important because odds shift immediately whenever a wicket falls or a big shot is hit.
Say two wickets fall in the power play — the odds for the team that were shorter before the match may suddenly lengthen. Equally, if a team needs 60 runs off the last five overs, their odds of winning will move sharply depending on how the situation develops.
In ODI, in-play odds shift slowly; in T20 they shift very quickly, so T20 live betting demands much more active attention. To place bets on a live match you need a reliable internet connection and the readiness to make quick decisions.
The tkbet mobile app lets you view live in-play markets alongside live score updates at the same time, making live betting more comfortable.
Multi Bet — Multiple Matches, One Bet
With a multi bet you can combine results from three or more matches into a single bet. The odds of each selection are multiplied together to produce the final odds, which means the potential return is much higher.
For example — if three selections across three different matches have odds of 1.50, 1.60 and 1.80, the combined multi bet odds will be 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.80 = 4.32 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳432 if all three win. But if even one is wrong, the entire ৳100 is lost — that is the risk of a multi bet.
Multi bets can be fun, but keep in mind that even if each individual selection is likely to win, winning all of them together is difficult. So always keep this type of bet within what you can afford.
If even one loses, the full ৳100 is lost.
Practical Betting Tips
Cricket betting works best as entertainment when it is approached with a plan.
Set a budget in advance
Before each match, decide on a fixed limit for yourself. Never go beyond that limit — whether you are winning or losing.
Focus on one market
Spreading bets across too many markets at once splits your attention. When starting out, stick to one or two markets you know well.
Understand the format before betting
T20 moves fast, ODI moves slowly. Understanding the pace of each format makes in-play betting easier.
Do not try to chase losses immediately
Betting is part of entertainment. If a bet loses, it is best not to place a larger bet straight away to try to recover.
Avoid rushing in live betting
In-play markets move quickly, but rushing into decisions often leads to mistakes. Take a steady look before placing your bet.

Withdrawals are usually completed within 10–45 minutes. 24/7 live chat and email support are available in Bengali and English.
Betting Exchange — The difference between BACK and LAY markets
In regular betting you place bets against the bookmaker. In a betting exchange you can place bets against other users.
BACK Betting: Like a regular bet — if you BACK Team A with ৳500 and Team A wins, you earn ৳750 profit (before commission); if they don't win, you lose ৳500. (At odds of 2.50: liability on the other side is ৳500 × 1.50 = ৳750.)
LAY Betting: Betting that Team A will lose — on a ৳500 LAY bet your liability is ৳750. If Team A does not win, you receive ৳500; if they win, you pay ৳750.
Exchange betting is a bit more complex, but it gives a lot of flexibility in fast-changing sports like cricket. Beginners are advised to start with regular markets first.
