Cricket Betting at tk99 — the preferred platform for Bangladeshis for BPL, IPL and international matches
From T20 to Test — tk99 is here for cricket fans in Bangladesh with betting markets across all formats, live odds updates and an easy-to-understand odds system.
Cricket formats and tournaments available for betting
To understand cricket betting, you first need to know which format is being played, because the odds and markets differ for each format.
T20 — fast game, fast results
T20 is currently the most popular format. The BPL is Bangladesh's own T20 league, featuring both local players and international stars. The IPL is the world's biggest T20 league, and the ICC T20 World Cup is especially significant for the Bangladesh Tigers on the international stage. T20 matches finish in just a few hours, so odds change quickly and live betting is most active here.
ODI and Test — different markets for a patient game
In a 50-over ODI match, markets like total runs, series winner and top batsman are most relevant. Test matches last five days and a draw is a valid result, so the match winner market has three options — this is the key difference from T20 and ODI. Test markets hold a special appeal for bettors interested in Bangladesh's performance in the ICC Test Championship.
Football and other sports
Alongside cricket, tk99 offers betting on football and several other sports. Football markets are available for major tournaments like the English Premier League, Spanish La Liga and the FIFA World Cup. Football betting differs from cricket — markets here focus more on total goals, whether both teams will score, and who will score first. Just as over-by-over data is important in cricket, a team's recent form and conditions on the pitch matter more in football.
For those interested in casino games, tk99 Casino has live card games and slots — an alternative option during a break from sports betting.
7 popular betting markets and how they work
It is important to understand each market separately — placing a bet in the wrong market can turn the whole calculation upside down.
Match Winner
Bet on which team will win the match. There are two options in T20 and ODI, and three in Test — Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw.
Simplest marketToss Winner
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. This has no connection to the match result — it is an independent market.
Independent of match resultTop Batsman
Bet on which batsman will score the most runs in the match or innings. Odds for this market rise and fall depending on the team's batting order.
Skill-based analysisTotal Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether total runs in the match or an innings will be over or under a specific number. Pitch conditions and weather play a big role here.
Pitch conditions matterMulti Bet
Combine multiple selections into a single bet. If all selections are correct, the return increases — but if even one is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Potential for higher returnsTop Bowler
Bet on which bowler will take the most wickets. In T20, bowler performance in the final overs directly affects this market.
Watch bowling formHandicap Betting
A run or wicket advantage is given to the weaker team to level the difference in strength between the two sides. For example, if Team A gets a 15-run handicap, then even if they win by 14 runs, Team B is considered the winner for betting purposes.
Strategic marketHow odds are written in three formats
Decimal, fractional and American — these three systems express the same probability in different ways. Once you understand them a little, the differences become easy.
Example 1 — Team A to win (৳1,000 bet)
The same value in three formats:
Decimal: 2.25 | Fractional: 5/4 | American: +125
If the bet wins, you get back ৳2,250 — that includes ৳1,250 profit and your ৳1,000 stake returned. If the bet loses, you lose ৳1,000. With decimal odds, multiply the stake by the odds to get the total return (৳1,000 × 2.25 = ৳2,250).
Example 2 — Team B is the favourite (৳1,000 bet)
Decimal: 1.80 | Fractional: 4/5 | American: -125
American minus odds show how much you need to bet to make ৳100 profit. Here, you would need to bet ৳1,250 to make ৳100 profit. Simply put — if you bet ৳1,000 and win, your total return is ৳1,800 (৳800 profit). A favourite's odds are generally below 2.0.
All markets on tk99 Bet at tk99 are shown in decimal format, which is the easiest for new bettors. You can also choose your preferred format from the account settings.
Odds change under market pressure — odds never guarantee anything
Live Betting — why odds change during a matchLIVE
In-play betting is a market where odds change at every moment of the match — it is a different experience from static betting.
How odds change when a wicket falls
Say Team A's score is 100/1 at the 15th over — odds are in Team A's favour at that point. But if 3 wickets fall in the next two overs, Team B's odds of winning will suddenly shorten and Team A's odds will lengthen. At this moment, someone who already placed a bet on Team A may have the option to 'cash out' that bet in the in-play market — before the full match ends.
Do markets change after each over?
After each over, new markets may open based on the powerplay, middle overs or death overs. The most important thing in live betting is to stay focused — because odds change quickly, waiting too long may mean you cannot get the same price. Using the tk99 mobile app makes it easier to receive live updates from anywhere.
Before placing bets, it is a good idea to read the responsible gaming guidelines — betting is for entertainment and should never be seen as a source of income.
Practical tips for betting — know before you start
The difference between an experienced bettor and a new one usually comes down to these basic habits.
Decide in advance how much you will bet for the week. If you lose, it is better not to go beyond your budget trying to 'win it back'.
In a three-selection multi bet with decimal odds of 1.60, 1.80 and 1.90, the combined odds are 1.60 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.47 (approximately). That means a ৳100 bet returns ৳547 — but if even one of the three selections is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
Markets that are relevant in T20 may not exist in Test. Understand the nature of the game before selecting a market.
After a wicket falls, pause and analyse the situation rather than adding to your bet on impulse. Rushing is the biggest risk in live betting.
