tkbet Cricket Betting — bet on every match from T20 to Test
BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup or bilateral Test series — tkbet lets you join multiple betting markets before and during every match. This page covers everything in plain language, from understanding odds to live betting.
T20, ODI and Test — how betting differs across the three formats
T20 Cricket
This twenty-over format is the fastest-paced. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), IPL and the T20 World Cup are the most popular competitions in this category. A match finishes in just three to four hours, so betting odds shift every over. T20 is especially popular among live bettors.
BPL IPLOne Day International
Betting markets in the fifty-over format are much wider. Odds naturally take on a new shape before and after the innings break. When Bangladesh Tigers take the field in an international ODI series, bettor interest on tkbet rises noticeably.
International SeriesTest Cricket
In a five-day Test, a draw is a real outcome, so the market has three options — Team A win, Team B win and draw. Over a long match, pitch, weather and batting order can dramatically affect odds. This format offers more options for patient bettors.
5-Day Match 3 Outcomes
From BPL to ICC — which tournament to bet on
Among Bangladeshi bettors, BPL is the closest competition to home. Betting on your favourite team's match on home soil has its own appeal. Alongside that, IPL generates huge interest every spring — those matches draw large audiences and a wide variety of betting markets.
Every Bangladesh Tigers match at ICC-organised events like the T20 World Cup and Champions Trophy gets special attention on tkbet. Markets are also open for bilateral series, though market depth is generally greater during major tournaments.
When international matches are held at the Sylhet stadium, interest among local bettors rises further. tkbet also carries betting markets for overseas leagues such as Australia's BBL and the Caribbean CPL.
Popular bet types in cricket
In a cricket match you can bet not only on the final result but also on various events during play. Below is a brief introduction to seven main markets.
Match Winner
The simplest market — bet on which team will win the match. Two outcomes in T20 and ODI; three in Test (Team A, Team B or draw).
Toss
Which team will win the toss before the match starts — odds for both sides are usually close to even in this market, and the result is known within seconds.
Top Batsman
Which batter will score the most runs in a team's innings? You can also bet on positional slots rather than naming a player — for example, whether the top scorer will come from the top three.
Total Runs Over / Under
The bookmaker sets a target, such as total runs of 165. You bet on whether the actual total will be higher (over) or lower (under). You do not need to back a specific team.
Multi Bet
Combining selections from multiple matches into a single bet. If all selections are correct, returns come at the combined odds; if any single selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Wickets in an Innings
An over/under market on the total number of wickets to fall in a specific innings. This market tends to be especially active on pace-friendly pitches.
Decimal, fractional and American — how to read odds
The value of the same bet can be written in three different ways. Whichever format is used, the underlying calculation is the same — the two examples below will make this clear.
| Format | Team A Win (Example 1) | Team B Win (Example 2) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 4/5 |
| American | +150 | -125 |
tkbet generally displays odds in decimal format — it shows the total return directly, making it the most straightforward for Bangladeshi bettors. Fractional odds are mainly used in the British market and American odds are seen on US platforms.
Bet in any format for entertainment purposes. For detailed guidance on responsible play, read our Responsible Gaming policy page.
Odds shift when a wicket falls — how in-play betting works
Placing bets while a match is in progress is called live or in-play betting. At tkbet, markets stay active from the start of a match through to its end. Odds update automatically after each over and whenever a wicket falls.
Say Team A has scored only 30 runs and lost two wickets in the first five overs — at that moment Team A's win odds will lengthen because their situation is difficult. Conversely, if Team B builds a big partnership, their odds will shorten.
You have less time to decide in live betting, so it is important to understand the market types beforehand. It is also sensible not to place very large bets all at once during an in-play session.
- Refresh the odds after every over — sudden changes can happen.
- Analyse the market after the Power Play ends — the first six overs can often be misleading.
- The total runs over/under market stays active in the death overs — try to read how the last five overs are likely to go.
How betting on football and other sports differs
Alongside cricket, football betting is also popular on tkbet. In football there are usually three outcomes in a 90-minute match — home team win, away team win and draw. There are some fundamental differences from cricket, though.
Cricket has innings-based markets such as "highest runs in the first innings" or "top bowler" that do not exist in football. Football, on the other hand, has well-established markets like "first goalscorer" and handicap markets.
tkbet also carries markets for tennis, badminton and kabaddi, though the number of markets for these sports is smaller than for cricket. Match winner and set/game-based markets are the most common in these sports.
Casino games are also available on the betting platform. If you want to know about the various casino options, visit the tkbet Casino page — it has full details on live casino and slot games. Card game fans can visit the Rummy betting page to learn the rules and strategy for Rummy.
Cricket vs Football — Key Differences
- Cricket has innings-based markets; football has time-based markets.
- A draw is possible in Test cricket; generally not in T20.
- Cricket live markets update over by over.
- Handicap and BTTS (both teams to score) markets are common in football.
A few useful tips for new bettors
-
Start with small amounts.
Betting is entertainment, not investment. Start with small stakes and get familiar with the different markets.
-
Focus on one market.
Spreading bets across too many markets at once splits your attention. Start with match winner or over/under markets.
-
Be careful with multi bets.
While returns on multi bets can be higher, getting every selection right is difficult. Adding more than three selections makes the risk climb quickly.
-
No rushing in live betting.
When a wicket falls, wait a few balls to read the situation rather than immediately placing a large bet.
-
Set a budget.
Set a fixed budget before each session and do not go beyond it. Avoid the temptation to place bigger bets to recover losses.
Multi Bet Example
Say you make three selections across three separate matches — with decimal odds of 1.40, 1.70 and 1.80 respectively.
The combined odds will be: 1.40 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.28 (approximately).
If all three selections are correct on a ৳100 stake, the return will be ৳428.
If any single selection is wrong, you lose the full ৳100 — that is the biggest risk in a multi bet.
