Cricket betting at tk999 — place bets on every market from BPL to the T20 World Cup
From Bangladesh Tigers matches to IPL and ICC tournaments — tk999 covers every cricket format for betting. Odds guide, popular markets, and live betting, all in one place.
Three cricket formats — where does betting differ?
Cricket has three main formats — T20, ODI, and Test. Understanding the format before placing a bet matters, because the style of play differs in each one and the demand for different markets changes accordingly.
T20 is the shortest and fastest format. Results are decided in 20 overs, which means run rates and boundary counts are much higher. Most matches in major tournaments including BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are played in T20 format. It is the most popular format among fans in Bangladesh — you will find T20 match talk in any tea stall in Dhaka.
ODI is the 50-over one-day match. The pace is a little slower than T20, but tactics and squad depth have more influence. ICC tournaments such as the ODI World Cup are played in this format.
Test matches are the longest format — they can run up to five days. From a betting perspective, a draw is a possible result in Test cricket, so the market structure is different. Batsman runs and wicket markets are also quite popular in Tests.
Which competitions can you bet on?
BPL — Bangladesh Premier League
Bangladesh's domestic T20 league. The BPL season is highly anticipated among local cricket fans. tk999 offers various markets to bet on during BPL matches.
T20 LeagueIPL — Indian Premier League
The world's most popular T20 league. IPL matches feature major international stars, which generally means more betting markets and comparatively competitive odds.
T20 LeagueICC Tournaments and International Series
All major ICC events including the T20 World Cup, ODI World Cup, and Champions Trophy. Bangladesh Tigers matches naturally draw the most interest from local bettors.
InternationalBetting on Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, tk999 also offers betting on football and several other sports. Football matches — World Cup, Premier League, Champions League — come with a wide range of markets: match winner, total goals by both teams, handicap, and many more options.
The betting structure for cricket and football is quite different, though. In T20 or ODI cricket there is no draw (only Tests can end in a draw), so markets are generally limited to two outcomes. In football there are usually three possibilities — win, lose, or draw — which shapes the odds structure differently. Cricket also has wicket and over-based markets that have no equivalent in football.

Popular cricket betting markets
tk999 offers many types of cricket betting markets. Below are some of the most commonly used markets with a brief explanation of each.
Match Winner
Which team will win the match — this is the simplest market. In a T20 between Team A and Team B, you pick one. There is no draw, so you are deciding between just two outcomes.
SimplestToss Winner
A bet on the result of the coin toss before the match starts. The outcome is entirely chance-based — Team A or Team B wins the toss. It is a light and quick market.
Quick ResultTop Batsman
Which batsman within a team will score the most runs. For example, picking who will score the highest from Team A's batting lineup.
Team-basedTotal Runs Over/Under
A prediction of whether the total runs scored in a match or innings will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. For example, whether Team A scores above or below 160 runs in their first innings.
Runs-basedMulti Bet
Combining selections from multiple matches or markets into a single bet. If all selections are correct the return is much higher, but if even one is wrong the entire bet is lost. A detailed example is given in the odds section below.
Combined BetTotal Wickets and Powerplay Runs
How many wickets will fall in the match, or how many runs will be scored in the first 6 powerplay overs — these markets are quite popular in T20. You can focus your bet on a specific part of the match.
Segment-basedHow to read odds — three formats
Betting sites generally use three types of odds formats. The same price is written in three different ways — see the examples below.
| Format | Team A (example) | Team B (example) | How to read it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.80 | Multiply by your stake to get the total return |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 4/5 | Profit ÷ stake — e.g. 5/4 means ৳5 profit for every ৳4 staked |
| American | +125 | –125 | A + sign means profit on a ৳100 stake; a – sign means how much you need to stake to win ৳100 |
Example 1 — Team A wins (৳500 stake)
The same price written three ways: decimal 2.25, fractional 5/4, American +125 — all three are identical.
With a ৳500 stake, if Team A wins you receive ৳1,125 back (৳625 profit + ৳500 stake).
If Team A loses, the ৳500 stake is gone. This is a numerical example only — it is not a live odds quote or a promise of returns.
Example 2 — Team B (favourite) wins (৳500 stake)
Team B's price: decimal 1.80, fractional 4/5, American –125. A minus odds means favourite.
With a ৳500 stake, if Team B wins you receive ৳900 back (৳400 profit + ৳500 stake).
In American format, –125 means you need to stake ৳125 to win ৳100 profit. Betting is for entertainment — there is no guarantee of winning.
Multi bet example — three selections combined
Say you make three selections across three separate matches with decimal odds of 1.40, 1.50, and 1.70. In a multi bet all odds are multiplied: 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.70 = 3.57 (approximately).
A ৳100 stake returns ৳357 if all three selections are correct. But if even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost. Multi bets increase risk — use them for entertainment only.
Live Betting — odds shift when a wicket falls
LIVE In-play or live betting means placing a bet while the match is in progress. In cricket this is particularly interesting because odds change with every wicket, boundary, or end of a powerplay.
For example, if Team A and Team B start the match at roughly equal odds, but Team A loses 3 quick wickets in the powerplay, Team B's odds immediately shorten and Team A's odds lengthen.
Live betting also offers additional markets such as:
- How many runs will be scored in the next over (over runs)
- Whether a wicket will fall off the next ball (next dismissal)
- The final total runs for the innings (live over/under)
- Which team will be ahead after a specific over
There is very little time to decide in live betting — odds change fast. For this reason it is important to follow responsible betting guidelines.
Practical tips for starting cricket betting
- Focus on one format: T20, ODI, and Test are completely different games. Start by betting on the format you know best.
- Start with small stakes: The minimum deposit at tk999 is just ৳100. As a new bettor, build experience with small stakes before gradually increasing them.
- Be careful with multi bets: Adding many selections together makes the potential return look large, but if any one of them is wrong the whole bet is lost. Use multi bets for entertainment.
- Set a budget: Decide in advance how much you will bet each day or each week and stick to it.
- Betting is for entertainment: Cricket betting is a way to enjoy the game — it is not a reliable source of income. The result of every match is uncertain.
- Compare odds: Odds on the same market can change at different times. In live betting especially, odds shift quickly, so stay alert.
