Cricket Betting at ck cricket – Complete Guide to Betting on T20, ODI and BPL
Understand every aspect of betting on Bangladesh's most popular sport — formats, market types, how to read odds, and live in-play betting.
Cricket's three formats and major tournaments
The first step to understanding cricket betting is having a clear idea of the three main formats of the game. Each format has its own pace and character, and the markets differ accordingly.
T20
The fastest format. BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup — every match is completed in a single day.
ODI
50 overs per side in a one-day match. Most ICC events are played in this format.
Test
Five-day cricket — a draw is possible, so the market types are different.
BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) is the closest tournament to Bangladeshi fans. Alongside it, betting on IPL and ICC events is also available at ck cricket. The Bangladesh Tigers' international matches naturally get the most attention.
Betting on football, tennis and other sports is also available at ck cricket. The difference from cricket is that in-play moments in these sports are different — in football, for example, specific situations like extra time and penalties can shift markets quickly. In cricket, a wicket falling or a big-scoring over affects the market in the same way.
Popular betting markets
A quick look at how each market works.
Match Winner
The most straightforward market — a bet on which of the two teams will win. There is no draw in T20 or ODI, so it is simply team A or team B.
Cricket FootballToss Market
A bet on who will win the toss before the match starts. This is a completely separate market from the main match result.
CricketTop Batsman
A bet on which batter will score the most runs. Knowing the team's batting order helps when approaching this market.
CricketTotal Runs Over/Under
A bet between two options — whether the total runs in an innings will be above or below a set number. Pitch conditions play a big role in this market.
Cricket FootballMulti Bet
Multiple events can be combined into a single bet. If all selections are correct the return is larger, but if even one is wrong the entire bet loses.
Cricket FootballHandicap Betting
The stronger team is given a virtual deficit to level the contest. If team A is given a -1.5 wicket handicap, team A must win by a larger margin for the bet to succeed.
Cricket FootballAs an example in a multi bet: if three separate matches have decimal odds of 1.70, 1.80 and 1.90, the combined odds would be 1.70 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.81. So on a ৳100 bet, if all selections are correct the return is ৳581 — but if even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost. For more detail on this, see the betting guide on the ck cricket Bet page.
Odds in three formats — the same value
Betting odds are written in three different ways: decimal, fractional and American. They may look different, but all three express the same value for the same match.
In the example above, team A's winning odds are 2.50 in decimal, 3/2 in fractional and +150 in American — all three are the same. On a ৳1,000 bet, if team A wins the total return is ৳2,500 (৳1,500 profit plus the original ৳1,000 back); if they lose, ৳1,000 is gone.
What do the favorite's odds look like? Say team B has decimal odds of 1.25, fractional 1/4, American -400. The minus in American odds means how much you need to bet to make ৳100 profit. On a ৳1,000 bet, if team B wins the total return is ৳1,250 (৳250 profit).
Live In-Play Betting — while the match is on
Live betting is one of the most fast-moving experiences in cricket. Odds keep changing as the match progresses — when a wicket falls the bowling side's odds shorten, and when a big shot is played the batting side's odds improve.
Understanding a few situations makes live markets much clearer:
- Powerplay overs: Fielding restrictions in the first 6 overs increase the chance of more runs being scored. The total runs over/under market is active during this period.
- Death overs: In the last 3–4 overs the score is likely to climb quickly, which shifts odds fast.
- Back-to-back wickets: If two or three wickets fall in quick succession, the bowling side's odds can shorten sharply.
- Duckworth-Lewis situations: If rain interrupts play, live markets may temporarily suspend.
- Draw market in Test matches: On the final day, the draw odds shift based on the pace of the match — something that does not exist in T20 or ODI.
Decisions need to be made quickly during live betting. Using the ck cricket App makes it easy to bet from anywhere — see details about the ck cricket app.

Useful tips to get started
Betting is a form of entertainment. Keeping a few basic things in mind makes the experience more organised.
- Set a budget: Before each session, decide how much you want to spend. It is wise to avoid going beyond that limit.
- Start with one market: For newcomers, match winner is the easiest market to understand. As experience grows, you can move on to other markets.
- Compare odds: Look at the odds for different markets on the same match side by side — it helps you see which outcome is considered more likely.
- Play responsibly: When betting starts to cause stress or anxiety, it is important to take a break. See the responsible gaming guidelines.
- Read the rules: Make sure you fully understand bonus and withdrawal conditions. The terms and conditions page has all the details.
Betting is never a guaranteed source of income — treat it as entertainment and only bet with the understanding that you may lose.
