Cricket Betting at bk99 — Complete Guide to T20, ODI and Test Matches
Get more out of Bangladesh's most popular sport. Bet across a range of markets on every BPL, IPL and international cricket match at bk99, follow live odds, and feel every wicket in a new way.
Cricket Formats and Major Tournaments
Cricket is played in three main formats — T20, ODI and Test. Each has its own pace and character, and the betting markets differ accordingly.
T20: A 20-over match where high scores and quick wicket changes mean odds can shift from moment to moment. BPL and IPL are played in this format and are the most popular among Bangladeshi fans.
ODI: In a 50-over match, mid-game turning points are important for bettors. Bangladesh Tigers' consistently strong ODI performance in ICC rankings makes this format particularly popular.
Test: Five days of play — a slower pace, but various session-based markets are available. bk99 also offers in-play betting on Test matches.
Football and Other Sports — How They Compare to Cricket
At bk99 you can also bet on football and a number of other sports alongside cricket. It helps to understand the pace and market structure of each sport.
Cricket Betting
Over-by-over odds changes, toss markets and player performance markets — cricket has the widest range of betting options. In live in-play betting, odds update after every single ball.
Football Betting
Match winner, handicap and goal over/under are the main football markets. The fixed 90-minute timeframe and relatively fewer scoring events give odds a different pace compared to cricket.
Other Sports
Markets for tennis, badminton and e-sports are also available at bk99. Match-winner bets are the simplest in these sports, and tournament bracket markets appear as well.

7 Popular Cricket Betting Markets
At bk99 you can place several different types of bets on a single cricket match at the same time. The most commonly used markets are explained briefly below.
Match Winner
Which of the two teams will win — this is the most straightforward market. Example: Team A and Team B are playing. You pick Team A; if Team A wins, your bet is successful.
Toss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. Odds are usually close for both teams. Results come quickly because the toss happens in the very first minute of the match.
Top Batsman
Which batsman in the team will score the most runs — this market offers multiple options. Example: picking one batsman from five in Team A's lineup.
Total Runs Over/Under
Whether the total runs scored in the match will be more (over) or less (under) than a given number — you do not need to pick a side in this market. Example: if you pick total runs over 330, your bet wins if 331 or more runs are scored.
Top Wicket Taker
A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets. This market is especially popular in Test matches, where a bowler gets many opportunities over five days.
Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
Combining multiple events into a single bet multiplies the odds together. Example: three selections across three matches — you win only if all three are correct; one wrong selection and the entire bet is lost. See the odds section for a detailed multi bet example.
Innings Runs / Powerplay Score
A bet on how many runs a team will score within a set number of overs during the match. In T20, the powerplay (first 6 overs) market settles very quickly. Knowing the pitch conditions and team form helps when making decisions in this market.
Understanding Decimal, Fractional and American Odds
Before you start betting on cricket at bk99, it is important to be able to read odds. The same price is written differently across three formats.
| Odds Format | Price for Team A to Win | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | Returns ৳3,000 on a ৳1,000 bet (profit ৳2,000) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked |
| American | +200 | ৳200 profit on a ৳100 bet |
Example 1 (Team A wins): Team A's odds — Decimal 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200. A ৳1,000 bet on Team A returns ৳3,000 if Team A wins (৳2,000 profit + ৳1,000 stake). If Team A loses, you lose ৳1,000.
Multi bet example: Three selections across three matches — Decimal 1.60, 1.80 and 1.90. Combined odds = 1.60 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.47 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳547 if all three are correct. If even one is wrong, you lose the full ৳100.
Read the responsible gaming guidelines to understand the rules around betting. Betting is for entertainment — take a break if you are in difficulty.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Shift When Wickets Fall
As well as placing bets before a match, you can bet live at bk99 while the match is in progress. The situation changes after every delivery and the odds update accordingly.
When a Wicket Falls
When the batting team loses a wicket, their odds lengthen (their chances of winning decrease) and the bowling team's odds shorten. Live bettors look for new opportunities at these moments.
After a Big Over
If an unusually high number of runs are scored in an over, the batting team's odds shorten quickly. In T20 especially, a flurry of sixes in the death overs can change the outcome within just two or three overs.
Rain and DLS
If rain interrupts a match, the target is recalculated using the DLS method. Many live markets are temporarily suspended in this situation.
Chase Situation
In the second innings, as the required run rate rises or falls over each over, the odds shift in step. The situation is most dramatic in the final over when 6 runs are needed.

Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is for entertainment — not for expecting to recover losses. Keeping the following points in mind will help you have a more measured experience.
- Set a budget: Decide your limit before each match and do not bet beyond it. Placing larger bets to recover lost money usually makes the situation worse.
- Focus on one market: Start with just match winner or over/under — get comfortable with one market before moving to others.
- Understand the format before betting: T20 and Test matches move at different speeds. If you do well in one, take time to understand the other properly before betting on it.
- Be careful with multi bets: Even if the combined odds look attractive, one wrong selection means losing everything. It is sensible to keep your stake low on multi bets.
- Do not rush in live betting: Even when time is short in in-play markets, do not make decisions on impulse. Think for a moment, then place your bet.
- Use the bk99 App: Download the bk99 App to play on mobile and get notifications and live scores easily.
