tk 999com Cricket Betting – BPL to T20 World Cup
Bet on Bangladesh's most popular sport — all markets from match winner to live in-play, all in one place.
Cricket's three formats and the major competitions
Having a clear understanding of cricket formats before you start betting makes it much easier to follow the markets. There are three main formats in international cricket.
T20 is the shortest and fastest format — each team bats for just 20 overs. The result can swing at any moment, which is why live betting is especially popular here. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL (Indian Premier League) are both played in T20 format and hold a special place among cricket fans in Bangladesh. Bangladesh Tigers' performances in the T20 World Cup also draw a lot of attention.
ODI, or One-Day International, gives each team 50 overs. The pace of the game is relatively slower, so there is more opportunity to analyse markets like total runs or top batsman. ICC one-day series and the World Cup are played in ODI format.
Test cricket is the longest format — it can last up to five days. A draw is a possible result here, so the market structure is different. The rate of wickets falling, session-by-session scores, and innings-based markets make Test cricket stand apart.
Know the key cricket betting markets
The rules differ from market to market — find out how each one works.
Match Winner
The most straightforward market — pick which team will win the match. In T20 or ODI you choose between two outcomes; in Test cricket a draw is also an option.
SimplestToss Winner
Before the match starts, pick which team — Team A or Team B — will win the toss. The outcome is entirely random, but the market is always open.
Short-run marketTop Batsman
Predict which batter will score the most runs in a specific innings or across the whole match. The team's batting lineup is an important factor here.
Skill marketTotal Runs Over/Under
Choose whether the total runs scored will be over or under a set number. Keep wickets and pitch conditions in mind.
Stats marketMulti Bet
Combine multiple matches or markets into a single bet. If all selections are correct the return is larger, but if one is wrong the entire bet is lost.
High RiskPlayer of the Match
Pick in advance which player will be recognised as the best performer at the end of the match. This is a special market that is more commonly available in T20 matches.
Special marketHow to read decimal, fractional and American odds
Betting sites display odds in three different formats. All three mean the same thing — only the way they are written differs. The two examples below make it clear.
Example 1 — Underdog odds (Team A to win, stake ৳200)
The same probability written in three formats:
Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150
On a ৳200 bet, if Team A wins you receive ৳500 (৳300 profit + original ৳200). If Team A loses, ৳200 is gone. In American odds, "+" shows how much profit you make on a ৳100 bet.
Example 2 — Favourite odds (Team B to win, stake ৳200)
Decimal 1.50 = Fractional 1/2 = American -200
On a ৳200 bet, if Team B wins you receive ৳300 (৳100 profit + original ৳200). In American odds, "-" shows how much you need to bet to win ৳100.
Most bettors prefer decimal odds because multiplying the stake by the odds directly gives the total return. For more detailed cricket betting rules, see the Terms and Conditions.
Live In-Play Betting — bet while the match is on
In-play betting in cricket means you can place bets even after the match has started. Odds shift after every wicket and every over — and live betting lets you take advantage of those shifts.
Say Team A loses two wickets in the first five overs and is scoring slowly — at that moment Team B's odds of winning will shorten because the match is moving their way. If Team A recovers over the next few overs, the odds will shift again. In live betting you can make a fresh decision at each of these moments.
In T20 the final five overs can bring dramatic changes, so live markets at that stage update very quickly. In ODI there is more time to read the pitch after the powerplay. In Test cricket the last hour of a session and the period when the new ball is taken typically produce the biggest movements in live odds.
Football and other sports betting — what's the difference
Beyond cricket, you can also bet on football, kabaddi, tennis and badminton. The key difference between cricket and football markets lies in the nature of the game and the number of possible outcomes.
Football has three possible results — Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw. This three-way outcome directly affects how odds are calculated. T20 and ODI cricket normally have two outcomes, so the odds structure is different. Football is decided in 90 minutes, whereas a Test match can go on for five days.
In a multi bet you can mix football and cricket selections together. However, if any single selection is wrong the entire bet is lost — so always treat a multi bet as entertainment, not a source of income.

Practical tips for cricket betting
Enjoy betting as entertainment. Keeping the following in mind will make the experience better.
-
01
Understand the format before choosing a market. In T20 the final-over markets shift quickly; in ODI odds tend to settle after the powerplay; in Test cricket the start of each session brings fresh opportunities. Start by betting on the format you have watched the most.
-
02
Set a budget first. Cricket betting is purely for entertainment — decide how much you are willing to spend beforehand and stick to it. If you lose in one match, it is better not to try to recover by betting more in the next.
-
03
Avoid too many selections in a multi bet. Three selections already give combined odds above 4.26 — attractive, but getting all of them right is difficult. Adding no more than two or three selections to a multi bet is the more realistic approach.
-
04
Do not rush in live betting. In-play markets change fast — take a proper look at the current state of the match before placing each bet. Odds move when a wicket falls, but another opportunity may come an over later.
-
05
Learn about responsible betting. Betting stays as entertainment when it is kept in perspective. If you have any concerns, read the Responsible Gaming guide — it covers setting limits and self-exclusion.
Multi Bet Example
Three selections: odds 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.90 = 4.26 (rounded).
A ৳100 bet returns ৳426 if all three are correct. If even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
This example shows that a multi bet offers a larger return — but the risk is equally higher.
