tkgm Cricket Betting — All T20, ODI and BPL Markets in One Place
Bet on Bangladesh's most popular sport. From T20 to Test, BPL to T20 World Cup — join match winner, toss, top batsman and many more markets on every match at tkgm.
Cricket's Three Formats and Betting Differences
T20
- Only 20 overs per side — the match wraps up in a few hours
- Wickets and runs change quickly, so live betting odds shift frequently
- BPL, IPL and T20 World Cup are played in this format
- Most popular markets: match winner and total runs
ODI
- 50-over match — more room for strategy
- Odds change more slowly mid-innings
- This format is used in ICC events and bilateral series
- Top batsman and over/under markets are popular
Test
- Five-day match — a draw is a valid result
- In a long match, odds can shift significantly as wickets fall
- Three options in the match winner market: Team A win, Team B win or draw
- Series winner market is also available
BPL, IPL and International Matches
The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) brings a special excitement to cricket fans across the country every year. tkgm offers betting on every BPL match. Similarly, multiple markets are open for IPL and T20 World Cup matches. Betting is most active around the Bangladesh national team's (Tigers) performance in international series.
The betting experience differs across the three formats — T20 is fast-paced while Test requires patience. Understanding each format helps you make a more informed choice about which markets to enter.
Popular Cricket Betting Markets
Every match has multiple markets. The ones below are played the most.
Match Winner
Bet on which team will win the match. In T20 there are two options (Team A or Team B); in Test a draw is also possible. The simplest and most straightforward market.
Most PopularToss Bet
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result is completely independent — it has no connection to the match outcome.
Quick ResultTop Batsman
Bet on which batter from a specific team will score the most runs. This market is also available live after the innings has started.
Innings MarketTotal Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the total runs in a match will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. Example: will Team A's runs in the first 10 overs be over or under 70.
Over/UnderMulti Bet
Combine selections from multiple matches or events into one bet. If all selections are correct the return is larger, but if even one is wrong you lose the entire bet.
Multiple SelectionsHandicap and Over Wickets
Betting is balanced by setting a virtual run margin between teams. There are also markets for how many wickets will fall within a specific number of overs.
Special MarketsHow to Read Odds in Three Formats
Odds are written in three main ways: decimal, fractional and American. The same probability looks different in each format, but the calculation is the same.
Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125
If the bet wins, you get back ৳450 (৳250 profit + ৳200 original bet); if it loses, ৳200 is gone.
Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American -125
American minus odds mean how much you need to bet to win ৳100. On a ৳200 bet, you get back ৳360 (৳160 profit).
Decimal format is the easiest to calculate — just multiply your stake by the odds. tkgm shows decimal by default, but you can switch to your preferred format.
| Format | How It Is Written | How to Read It |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | Bet × Odds = Total Return |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳5 profit for every ৳4 staked |
| American (+) | +125 | ৳125 profit on a ৳100 bet |
| American (−) | −125 | Stake ৳125 to win ৳100 profit |
Live Betting — Odds Change with Every Wicket and Over
You can bet even after the match has started — that is live or in-play betting. In cricket, odds are recalculated after every wicket and every over.
For example, say Team A loses 2 wickets in the very first over. At that moment Team B's win odds drop noticeably and Team A's win odds rise. This change happens within seconds.
In live betting you have to decide quickly. The faster you can read how a match is going, the better you can engage with these markets. Remember — betting is a form of entertainment, not a reliable source of income.
tkgm's tkgm Bet live betting section gives ball-by-ball updates on cricket with real-time odds.
Betting on Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, tkgm also offers betting on football and other sports. In football there are three possible results (win, lose or draw), so odds are structured differently from T20 cricket markets. Handicap markets, Both Teams to Score and half-time/full-time result markets are the most popular here.
The key difference between cricket and football is the pace of the game. In cricket every wicket has a big impact on odds, while in football there are long gaps between goals — so live odds shift relatively slowly. This difference also makes the betting experience feel distinct for each sport.
If you enjoy cricket betting and are also interested in card games, take a look at the tkgm Texas Hold'em Poker page — it covers everything from hand rankings to betting rounds in detail. Another popular card game in Bangladesh is Teen Patti Joker, which features fun betting rounds with a 3-card hand.
How to Calculate a Multi Bet
In a multi bet (multiple selections in one bet), the odds of all selections are multiplied together, which can result in a larger return. Keep in mind that if even one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Selection 1: Decimal odds 1.40
Selection 2: Decimal odds 1.50
Selection 3: Decimal odds 1.80
Combined odds: 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.80 = 3.78 (approx.)
If all three selections on a ৳100 bet are correct, you get back ৳378. If even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
Betting is entertainment — set a budget you are comfortable with and enjoy it responsibly. To learn more about responsible betting, read our Responsible Gaming page.
Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
Understand the Format First
T20, ODI and Test each have a different style of play. Start with the format you know best.
Focus on One Market
In the beginning it is better to pick a straightforward market like match winner. Joining too many markets at once leads to confusion.
Stick to Your Budget
Set your maximum bet limit before each match. Betting is entertainment — it is not a solution to financial problems.
Avoid Rushing in Live Betting
Odds move fast in live play. Make decisions with a clear head rather than placing bets out of impulse.
