Cricket Betting at bk33 — T20 to Test, BPL to World Cup
bk33 brings a wide range of betting markets for cricket fans in Bangladesh. From before the first ball to the final over — Toss, Top Batsman, Live In-Play, Multi Bet — all in one place.
Cricket's Three Formats and Major Tournaments
Understanding cricket betting starts with the format. The style of play and range of possible outcomes differ across formats, so it is important to understand the format before choosing a market.
Twenty20
Each side faces only 20 overs, so matches end quickly and the result is often uncertain until the final over. BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup are played in this format and it is the most popular among fans in Bangladesh.
One Day International
A 50-over match played at a moderate pace. The Tigers regularly take part in ICC World Cup events and bilateral series. Mid-match odds movements are quite noticeable in this format.
Test Cricket
A five-day match with three possible results — win, loss or draw — which sets it completely apart from other formats. Pitch conditions, weather and team balance have a significant influence on betting markets here.
BPL, IPL and International Matches
The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) is the domestic T20 franchise league where local and international cricketers play together. Fan interest in every match is very high, which makes the betting markets varied and active.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) is the most valuable T20 franchise tournament in the world. Bangladeshi fans follow the league closely every season. Matches involving Bangladesh Tigers in ICC international tournaments receive special attention on bk33.

Cricket vs Football and Other Sports
In football, a match typically has three possible outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw. Over/Under goals, handicap and corner markets are especially popular in football. For more on football betting and other sports, read the Sports Betting page.
In cricket, T20 and ODI formats have no draw — only a win or a loss (a draw is possible in Test). This makes cricket markets relatively straightforward, yet more varied — you can bet on many things from the Toss to a Maiden Over.
In sports like basketball and tennis, larger score margins make handicap markets more common. Cricket offers unique markets — wickets, runs and partnerships — that are not found in any other sport.
Popular Betting Markets and Examples
bk33 offers a variety of cricket betting markets. The most commonly used markets are explained with examples below.
Match Winner
Picking which of the two teams will win is the simplest market. For example, if Team A wins you receive a payout at the stated odds; if they do not win, your stake is lost.
Toss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss. Because the probability is roughly equal, the odds in this market are usually close to 2.00 for both sides.
Top Batsman
A bet on which player will score the most runs in an innings. This market requires you to consider not only batting form but also the batting order.
Total Runs — Over/Under
The question in this market is whether the total runs in an innings or the full match will be above or below a set number. Example: Over 155.5 runs means "Over" wins if 156 or more runs are scored.
Multi Bet
Combining selections from multiple matches or markets increases the combined odds. If three selections have odds of 1.50, 1.70 and 1.80, the combined odds are 1.50 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.59 — but if any one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Top Wicket Taker
A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in an innings or the full match. Pitch conditions and the batting lineup play a key role in this market.
Odds in Three Formats — How to Read Them
Most betting sites including bk33 display odds in three formats. The same price can be written in three ways — the meaning is the same, only the presentation differs.
| Format | Team A win price | Team B win price |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.25 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 1/4 |
| American | +150 | -400 |
Example 1 — Bet on Team A to win
Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150. On a ৳200 bet, if Team A wins you get back ৳500 (৳300 profit + ৳200 stake). If Team A loses, the ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — Team B as favourite
Team B's price is Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400 (meaning you need to bet ৳400 to win ৳100). On a ৳200 bet, if Team B wins you get back ৳250 (only ৳50 profit).
In American format, a minus (-) sign means you must bet that amount to win ৳100. A plus (+) sign means how much profit you make on a ৳100 bet. The numbers are for illustration only — they are not a promise of actual returns.
Live In-Play Betting — While the Match is On
You can place bets even after a match has started — this is called Live or In-Play betting. In cricket it is particularly engaging because odds shift quickly with every ball, over and wicket.
When a wicket falls, the odds for the batting side lengthen; after a big six or four, their odds shorten. If the run rate is high during the powerplay, the "Over" market price moves quickly.
In Live Betting, decisions need to be made fast — markets can be suspended or change in an instant. Set a budget in advance and stay within your limits. For advice on playing responsibly, see the Responsible Gaming page.
- Modest Over/Under markets are more manageable in Live Betting
- Market suspension after a wicket is normal
- If cash-out is available, you can take a partial return
Some Useful Tips for Betting
- Set a budget beforehand: Decide the maximum amount you are willing to spend before each betting session. Keeping to this limit means betting stays a form of entertainment.
- Focus on one market: Start with straightforward markets like Match Winner or Over/Under. Move to more complex markets once you have a good feel for the format.
- Choose markets to suit the format: Total Runs markets are most active in T20; innings result and draw markets are used more in Test cricket.
- Be careful with multi bets: Combining several selections raises the potential return, but if any one selection is wrong the entire bet is lost.
- Keep an eye on pitch and weather: On a spin-friendly pitch it makes sense to include a spinner in the Top Wicket Taker market. This information is usually available in pre-match reports.
- Keep emotions in check during Live Betting: Odds move up and down rapidly mid-match. Analyse the situation calmly rather than placing large bets on impulse.
- Betting is entertainment, not guaranteed income: Any result is possible in cricket. Treating betting as entertainment leads to a better experience in the long run.
- Know the rules: To learn about betting terms and conditions, read the Terms and Conditions page.
