Cricket betting at tk999 — a complete guide to betting on BPL, IPL and international matches
From T20 to Test, from home soil to the world stage — bet on every format of cricket at tk999 through a straightforward interface. This page covers how to read odds, popular markets, and the details of live betting.
Cricket's three formats and why betting differs
T20
Results shift fast in this 20-over format. A big over or a fallen wicket can change the odds instantly. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are the most popular T20 competitions among Bangladeshi fans. The T20 World Cup carries the same intensity.
Fastest formatODI
In a 50-over one-day match, a team's innings can be broken into two phases. The powerplay and death overs shift the pace of the game. Bangladesh's interest in the Tigers at the ICC Champions Trophy and World Cup is always high. Match winner and total runs markets are especially popular here.
Medium lengthTest Cricket
In this five-day format, pitch conditions and weather play a big role in betting. A draw is a possible result, so odds are split three ways. Patient bettors also place bets in session-by-session markets.
Long format
Betting beyond cricket
Besides cricket, you can also bet on football at tk999. Football matches are typically 90 minutes, draws are a normal result, and the goal markets are very varied. Where cricket uses runs and wickets as the main measures, football uses goals and corners. Tennis and badminton offer set-by-set betting. Each sport has its own type of markets, so it makes sense to focus on the sport you know best first.

Popular betting markets in cricket
Match Winner
The point of this market is simply to pick which team will win the match. In T20 and ODI there is no draw, so there are only two options. For example: if you back Team A to win and Team A wins, you get a return; if they lose, you lose the entire stake.
SimplestToss Market
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result is entirely independent — pitch or form has no bearing here. Odds are usually close to even for both teams.
Pre-matchTop Batsman
This market is about who will score the most runs for a specific team. Pick a batsman; if they score the highest for their team in that innings, your bet wins.
Individual performanceTotal Runs Over / Under
The bookmaker sets a line, such as 160 runs. You bet on whether the total runs scored will go over that line or stay under it. Pitch type and weather have a big influence on this market.
Runs basedMulti Bet
You can combine selections from different markets across multiple matches into a single bet. If all selections are correct the return is much higher, but if even one is wrong the entire bet loses. For example — a ৳100 multi bet on three selections at odds of 1.40, 1.80 and 1.90 gives a combined odds of roughly 4.79, meaning if all three win you get back ৳479 — but if any one loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
Multiple selectionsFirst Innings Runs
A bet specifically on how many runs will be scored in the first innings. Regardless of the final match result, this market is settled as soon as the first innings is complete.
Innings specificHow to read odds in three formats
Odds are written in three different formats across platforms around the world. The examples below let you understand all three at a glance.
| Format | Team A (Underdog) | Team B (Favourite) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.50 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 1/2 |
| American | +150 | -200 |
| Return on a ৳200 bet | ৳500 (profit ৳300) | ৳300 (profit ৳100) |
* The figures in the examples are for illustration only — they are not live odds or a guarantee of winnings.
Example 1 — if Team A wins
৳200 bet, Team A's decimal odds 2.50 = fractional 3/2 = American +150.
If Team A wins, you get back ৳500 — that is ৳300 profit plus your original ৳200 stake.
If Team A loses, you lose the full ৳200.
Example 2 — if Team B (favourite) wins
Team B's odds are 1.50 = 1/2 = American -200 (the minus means you need to stake that much to win ৳100).
On a ৳200 bet, if Team B wins you get back ৳300, a profit of only ৳100.
Odds shift the moment a wicket falls — how live betting works
In-play betting means placing bets while the match is in progress. After every ball, every wicket, and every boundary, odds are recalculated. Say Team A starts well — Team B's odds will lengthen because they are behind. If two quick wickets fall, the balance shifts again.
Odds move fastest at the end of the powerplay and during the death overs. In live betting you need to make decisions quickly, so understanding the flow of the match and keeping a clear head both matter. tk999's live betting interface is easy to use on mobile.

Some practical advice before you start betting
- Start with one market. The match winner market is straightforward and easy to follow if you know the rules of cricket. Move to other markets gradually.
- Set a budget and stick to it. Betting is for entertainment — chasing losses by placing bigger bets is not a good idea.
- Multi bets offer higher returns, but the risk is also higher. If one selection loses, the entire bet goes. Single bets are safer for beginners.
- Avoid rushing in live betting. Odds change quickly, so instead of betting under pressure, take a moment to read the situation first.
- Stay aware of your regular betting habits. If it feels like a problem, read the responsible gaming guidelines and seek help.
- Betting is for those aged 21 and above only. 21+ This rule is strictly enforced.

Cricket betting and exchange markets — what is the difference?
In regular betting you bet against the bookmaker. In an exchange market you bet against other bettors. Exchanges offer two options: BACK (bet that a team will win) and LAY (bet that a team will not win).
Example: if you BACK Team A at decimal odds of 2.00 with a ৳1,000 bet and Team A wins, you make ৳1,000 profit after commission; if they do not win, you lose ৳1,000. If you LAY that same team with a ৳1,000 liability — and Team A does not win — you receive ৳1,000 after commission; if they do win, you pay ৳1,000.
