Cricket Betting at bdtk — T20 to Test, BPL to International Matches
bdtk brings a wide cricket betting experience for cricket fans in Bangladesh. From match winner to top batsman — play across every format and every market, your way.
Cricket's three formats and favourite tournaments
Before getting into cricket betting, it helps to have a clear understanding of the formats. Each format has its own pace, strategy and betting characteristics.
T20 Cricket
In this 20-over format, odds shift fast. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), IPL and the T20 World Cup are the most watched and most bet-on competitions in Bangladesh. Big hits, swing bowling and a flurry of runs — the situation can change with every ball.
ODI Cricket
This 50-over format moves at a slower pace, but the markets are more varied. In major tournaments like the ICC World Cup and Asia Cup, ODI betting has its own appeal.
Test Cricket
In five-day cricket, bets can shift a great deal — pitch behaviour, weather and the possibility of a draw all need to be considered. A draw is a separate result in Test matches, so odds are split three ways.
Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, bdtk also offers betting on football, tennis and volleyball. Football usually has three results (home win, away win, draw), while limited-overs cricket has no draw — only two outcomes. This difference directly affects how odds are set.
A cricket innings has many turning points — a single wicket can change the entire picture of the game, much like a goal in football. That makes cricket especially interesting for live betting.
Popular betting markets
bdtk cricket betting offers a variety of markets. Below is a brief explanation of the seven most commonly used ones.
Match Winner
A bet on which of the two teams will win. Example: between Team A and Team B, if you think Team B will win, place your bet on that outcome.
Toss Winner
A bet on which team wins the toss before the match starts. This is a short, standalone market — it has no connection to the match result.
Top Batsman
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs in an innings or across the whole match. This market focuses on individual performance.
Total Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs in an innings will be above or below a set number. Example: over or under 160 runs in the first innings.
Multi Bet
Combining multiple markets into a single bet. Example: three different results across three matches at once — all must be correct to win; one wrong result and the whole bet is lost.
Top Wicket-Taker
A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in the match. Bowling conditions and pitch type play an important role in this market.
First Six Overs Score
A bet on how many runs will be scored in the powerplay. This is particularly interesting in T20 and ODI because fielding restrictions apply during the powerplay.
How to read odds
Cricket betting odds are written in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same probability; only the notation differs. bdtk generally shows decimal odds, but understanding all three makes it easier to compare.
| Format | Team A win odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | Total return on a ৳1,000 bet: ৳3,000 |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked |
| American | +200 | ৳200 profit on a ৳100 bet |
Team A to win: decimal 3.00, fractional 2/1, American +200. A winning ৳1,000 bet returns ৳3,000 in total (৳2,000 profit + ৳1,000 stake). If it loses, the full ৳1,000 is gone.
Team B to win: decimal 1.80, fractional 4/5, American -125. A negative American figure means you need to stake ৳125 to win ৳100. A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,800 in total (৳800 profit).
Lower odds mean the platform considers that team more likely to win. Higher odds mean a higher potential return, but also higher risk. Betting is for entertainment — it is not a guaranteed source of income.
Live Betting — odds change with every wicket
Live or in-play betting is the most fast-moving cricket betting experience. Once the match begins, odds shift with every ball — a falling wicket raises the batting team's odds of winning immediately, and so does a situation where few overs remain but many runs are needed.
Say Team B is batting: 110 runs for 3 wickets after 15 overs. At that point Team B's odds of winning will be low because the situation is in their favour. But if two wickets fall in quick succession after that, the odds will change in an instant.
In live betting there is very little time to make each decision — so it is important to set your budget limit before placing any bet. Follow the responsible gaming guidelines.
- Odds update instantly when a wicket falls
- New markets open as each over ends
- Rain and pitch changes also affect the odds
- Cash Out lets you exit before the match ends
Some useful tips for cricket betting
Betting is purely a form of entertainment. The suggestions below are for enjoying the experience, not as a strategy to make money.
- Choose markets based on the format: Total runs markets are popular in T20, while session-based markets matter more in Test. Start with the format you follow most closely.
- Set your budget beforehand: Decide how much you want to bet before each match. It is better not to try to recover losses from one match by betting more on the next.
- Be careful with multi bets: The potential return on a multi bet may look attractive, but one wrong result loses the entire bet. It is better to start with one or two selections.
- Avoid rushing in live betting: When things are changing fast, pause and think rather than betting on impulse. Decisions made in the heat of the moment often lead to regret later.
- Look at different markets: Instead of sticking only to match winner, also check toss, top batsman or powerplay score — variety makes the experience more enjoyable.
- Take breaks: Betting for long stretches without a break affects the quality of your decisions. Step away occasionally and come back with a fresh head.
Worth keeping in mind
Cricket betting is entirely for entertainment. No betting strategy guarantees a win. Play within your limits and do not treat betting as a source of income.
