Cricket betting at bdtk1 — bet on every format from BPL to T20 World Cup
Cricket is the most popular sport in Bangladesh. At bdtk1 you can join a wide range of markets on every match in BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup and Test series — with a straightforward interface, clear odds and live betting.
Three formats of cricket and what betting on each is like
Bangladeshi fans follow three types of cricket most closely — T20, ODI and Test. The betting experience is different in each format.
T20 — fast-moving markets
T20 cricket lasts only three to four hours, so betting markets move quickly. Odds change after every over. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are the most popular T20 tournaments among Bangladeshi fans. bdtk1 also offers notable markets for ICC T20 World Cup matches.
T20 BPL IPLODI — balanced markets
In 50-over ODI matches, markets remain comparatively stable. There are opportunities to bet at different stages from the toss right through to the final over. Interest in this format peaks for Bangladesh national team (Tigers) World Cup matches.
ODI World CupTest cricket — a patient market
In five-day Test matches, markets are the most variable. Pitch conditions, weather and the ups and downs of batting and bowling directly affect the markets. Test betting appeals to experienced bettors.
TestBeyond cricket — football and other sports
Alongside cricket, bdtk1 also offers betting on football and other sports. The betting experience varies by sport.
Football betting
Because football has the possibility of a draw, its markets differ from cricket. The match winner market has three outcomes (Team A wins / Draw / Team B wins), whereas T20 or ODI have no draw option. Football also has unique markets such as half-time score, total goals over/under and corner kicks.
Football Live BettingOther sports
bdtk1 also offers tennis betting. Tennis provides a different experience from cricket with set-by-set markets and live odds at any point in the match — for more details see the bdtk1 tennis betting guide. Betting is always for entertainment — it is important to be familiar with the rules of each sport before placing a bet.
Tennis Multi BetPopular betting markets at bdtk1
There are many ways to bet on a cricket match. The most commonly used markets are explained below.
Match Winner
A bet on which team will win the match. Example: in a T20 match between Team A and Team B, you choose Team B — if Team B wins at the end of the match, the bet is successful.
Toss
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The toss result is unrelated to the match score, so this is an independent market.
Top Batsman
A bet on who will score the most runs within a specific team. Example: which batter will score the highest runs in the innings for Team A.
Total Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs in a match or an innings will be more (over) or less (under) than a set number. This market is very popular in T20.
Multi Bet
Combining multiple selections into a single bet. Example: three selections from three separate matches placed as one bet — if all three are correct the return is higher, but if even one is wrong the entire stake is lost.
Method of First Wicket
A bet on how the first wicket will fall — bowled, LBW, caught, or run out. This is a different type of market from standard match betting.
Handicap
To reduce the difference in strength between two teams, one team is given a virtual run or wicket advantage. This turns a one-sided match into a more competitive market.
A simple guide to understanding odds in cricket betting
Odds are written in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. bdtk1 generally uses the decimal format.
| Format | Team A to win (example) | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Stake × 2.50 = total return |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳3 profit for every ৳2 |
| American | +150 | ৳150 profit on ৳100 |
Example 1 — betting on Team A to win
Suppose Team A's odds are 2.50 in decimal, 3/2 in fractional and +150 in American. You place a ৳1,000 bet. If Team A wins you receive ৳2,500 (৳1,500 profit + original ৳1,000). If Team A loses the entire ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — betting on the favourite
If Team B is the favourite, its odds might be 1.80 in decimal, 4/5 in fractional and −125 in American. American minus odds indicate how much you need to stake to win ৳100. On a ৳1,000 bet, if Team B wins you receive ৳1,800 (৳800 profit).
Things to remember about odds
- Decimal odds are the simplest — multiply your stake by the number to get your return.
- Higher odds mean the market considers that outcome less likely.
- Fractional "3/2" means ৳3 profit for every ৳2 staked, plus your stake back.
- American minus (−) means favourite; plus (+) means underdog.
- Betting is entertainment — keep it within a set budget.
Live in-play betting — bet while the game is on
With bdtk1's live betting feature, you can place bets in real time while a match is in progress. Odds update instantly whenever a wicket falls or a big over is completed.
For example — Team A is batting and has lost 3 wickets quickly. At that moment Team A's odds to win will rise because they are now in a weaker position. Conversely, if a big partnership builds, the odds come down.
Watching a BPL match live at a Dhaka ground while betting live directly connects the experience to what you see on the screen.
Practical tips for cricket betting
Betting is for entertainment — these tips will help you stay more aware of your experience.
-
Understand the format before betting
In T20, a single over can change the course of a match. In ODI or Test, the situation shifts more slowly. Try to understand which type of bet suits which format. -
Set a fixed budget
Decide how much you will spend in each betting session before you start. Rushing to place more bets to recover losses is harmful. -
Keep the risks of multi bets in mind
In a multi bet with 3 selections, decimal odds of 1.60 × 1.70 × 1.90 = 5.17, meaning a ৳100 bet returns ৳517 — but if even one of the three is wrong, the entire ৳100 is lost. -
Stay calm during live betting
Making snap decisions in the heat of a live match can be a mistake. Take time to understand an odds movement before deciding. -
Play responsibly
Betting is always for enjoyment. It is not a source of income. Read our responsible gaming guidelines for detailed guidance. -
Read the terms and conditions
Before claiming a bonus or betting in a new market, check the terms and conditions to avoid any confusion.
