Cricket Betting at tk — bet on every format from T20 to Test
Markets are open for every BPL, IPL and international cricket match. From Match Winner to top batsman — choose the market you prefer at tk.
Three Cricket Formats and Major Tournaments
T20, ODI and Test — each format has its own pace, strategy and variety of betting markets.
T20
Each team faces just 20 overs, so the entire match finishes in two to three hours. Big shots and quick wickets can flip the odds in an instant — making it the most active format for in-play betting. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are both played in this format.
One Day International
Each team faces 50 overs. The ICC Cricket World Cup and series leading up to T20 World Cups are generally played in ODI format. The longer innings means there is more opportunity for the match to shift in the middle overs — and more variety in the markets.
Test Cricket
A five-day contest. Pitch conditions, weather and the batting-bowling balance add a different dimension to the daily markets. Home Test matches for the Bangladesh Tigers carry the most emotion among local fans.
BPL, IPL and International Matches
For cricket fans in Bangladesh, BPL is a home celebration. Whether it is a night match at a stadium in Dhaka or a distant international series — tk has markets for most major tournaments. IPL splits the world's best players across two teams in every match, keeping the outcome uncertain.
tk's betting markets are also active for major events like the T20 World Cup and ICC Champions Trophy. See tk Sports Events page for which sporting events are available at tk.
Football and Other Sports — alongside cricket
Cricket is the main focus at tk, but markets for football and other sports are also open.
Cricket betting markets are over-based, so odds change many times within a match. Football markets are mainly around the 90-minute result, number of goals, or handicap — the final few minutes are most intense when the margin is tight. Tennis or badminton may have separate markets for each set.
Cricket has the deepest betting markets of any sport because a single match has overs, wickets and run rate — each a subject for a separate market. The Sports Events section at tk has the full list of sports beyond cricket.
Cricket vs Football
- In cricket, odds change every over
- In football, markets centre on goals and handicap
- A draw is possible in cricket only in Test matches
- Multi bets are available in both sports
Popular Betting Markets — how each one works
From Match Winner to multi bets, tk offers several markets to place bets on.
Match Winner
You bet on which of the two teams will win. T20 and ODI have no draw, so you choose one of two options. For example: Team A and Team B are playing — if you think Team B will win, place your bet on that market.
Toss Winner
A market on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The toss is a completely separate event — it has no direct connection to the match result. This market is popular for short-term entertainment.
Top Batsman
You can bet on which batter will score the most runs in a specific innings. There are several candidates within a team; the one with higher odds is generally less expected to top the score.
Total Runs Over/Under
A market on whether runs will be more or less than a set number. Example: if the line is 160 runs and you think Team A will go past that, select "Over".
Multi Bet
Multiple markets combined into one bet. All selections must be correct to win. Example: three markets with odds of 1.70, 1.80 and 1.90 combine to odds of 5.81, so a ৳100 bet returns ৳581.
Wicket Fall Market
How many wickets will fall within a certain number of overs, or when a specific batter will get out — this type of market is especially active during in-play sessions.
How to Read Odds — three formats
The same odds are written in three ways — decimal, fractional and American. tk generally displays decimal.
Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125 — all three are the same odds. If you win, total return is ৳2,250 (৳1,250 profit + ৳1,000 stake back); if you lose, ৳1,000 is gone.
Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400 — negative American odds indicate how much you must stake to win 100. A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,250 in total (৳250 profit).
The lower the odds, the more that team is considered the favourite. However in cricket, any day can produce an unexpected result — betting is for entertainment.
Comparison of Three Formats
| Format | Team A | Team B |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.25 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 1/4 |
| American | +125 | -400 |
Live In-Play Betting — odds shift when a wicket falls
Markets stay active while the match is in progress — every ball, wicket and over reshapes the odds.
Cricket in-play betting moves faster than almost any other sport. A quick wicket can cause the batting team's odds to jump suddenly — then a big six in the next over brings them back down. These shifts give you a reason to watch the game even more closely.
When betting live at tk, you must confirm your bet before the market closes. Some markets stay open up to a certain over, others remain open until the end of the match.
tk VIP members receive extra benefits on live betting — higher cashback and priority service.
Useful Tips for Getting Started with Betting
Betting is part of entertainment — keeping these tips in mind makes the experience easier.
- Set a fixed budget and it is better not to bet beyond it. Betting is for entertainment — not a way to recover losses.
- Focus on one market — placing bets across many markets at once splits your attention across each of them.
- In-play betting comes with time pressure — decide in advance what situation you will bet on.
- Multi bets offer higher returns but also higher risk — one wrong selection and the entire bet is lost. Keep stakes small on multi bets.
- Read tk's responsible gaming guidelines — knowing your own limits is the basis of healthy entertainment.
- Live betting is more convenient on the tk App — keep notifications on to be alerted when markets open.
Keep in Mind
Betting is entirely optional entertainment. It is simply one way to enjoy cricket.
