Cricket Betting at bk99 — Bet on BPL, IPL and T20 Matches
bk99 brings betting closer to Bangladesh's most popular sport. From T20 to Test — bet across multiple markets in every format and enjoy the action of live matches.
Cricket's Three Formats and Major Tournaments
The biggest appeal of cricket betting is the variety of the game. Betting works quite differently across the three main formats, and each has its own character.
T20: Twenty-over innings, fast scoring and unexpected results — T20 betting is the most fast-paced. BPL, IPL and the ICC T20 World Cup are the most popular among Bangladeshi fans. When the Tigers are playing, excitement builds across the country, especially in major cities like Dhaka.
ODI: In a fifty-over match, mid-match momentum plays a big role alongside strategy and patience. Workload management, partnerships and powerplays are important factors in betting analysis.
Test: In a five-day match, a draw is a possible result. With three possible outcomes, market analysis is different. Pitch conditions, weather and batting order all shift the odds throughout the match.
Betting on Football and Other Sports — the Differences
Alongside cricket, you can also bet on football at bk99. However, the betting structure of the two sports is quite different.
In football, the result is usually settled within 90 minutes, and markets such as match winner, handicap and total goals are most common. In cricket, there is no fixed time limit — especially in Test matches — so mid-match odds shift far more frequently.
In football, a head-to-head comparison between two teams is relatively straightforward, since a single goal can change the match. In cricket, wicket falls, run rate and death-over performance can shift the betting picture in an instant.
Beyond sports betting, bk99 also offers live casino and slot games, where a wide variety of games can be found in one place.
Popular Betting Markets and Examples
The rules for placing a bet differ from market to market — below, the most common markets and how they work are explained in plain terms.
Team that wins the match
Pick which of the two teams will win. In T20 and ODI there are only two possible outcomes. Example: Team A vs Team B — if you choose Team B and Team B wins, your bet wins.
Toss winner
Bet on which team will win the match toss. This is a completely independent market — it has no connection to the match result. Example: Team A or Team B — a 50-50 chance.
Batsman who scores the most runs
Which batsman will score the most runs in an innings or across the whole match. This market requires analysing the full batting lineup. Example: bet on any batsman from Team A.
Total runs over or under
Whether the total runs in a match or innings will be above or below a set number. Example: will the innings total be more than 160 — you choose "Over" or "Under" and place your bet.
Multiple selections in one bet
Combining multiple markets into one bet can deliver a higher return. However, all selections must win. Example: Team A, Team B and Team B across three separate matches — if all three are correct, the return is much higher.
Best performer
Bet on who will be named the best player of the match. An all-round performance plays a big part in this bet. Example: a cricketer from Team B delivers the best performance.
Odds in Three Formats — How to Read Them
Betting odds can be shown in three different formats. Each means the same thing — only the way it is expressed differs. Below, two real examples are used to explain them.
Example 1 — Team A to win (৳1,000 stake)
All three formats represent the same value. If Team A wins, ৳2,250 is returned (৳1,250 profit + original ৳1,000). If Team A loses, the ৳1,000 stake is lost.
Example 2 — Favourite Team B (৳1,000 stake)
The odds are lower because Team B is the favourite. American minus odds indicate how much you need to stake to win ৳100. If Team B wins, ৳1,250 is returned (৳250 profit).
Odds multiply in a multi bet
If three selections have decimal odds of 1.60, 1.80 and 1.90 — the combined odds are 1.60 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.47 (approximately). This means a ৳100 stake returns ৳547 if all win. However, if one selection loses, the entire ৳100 is lost.

Live Betting — Odds Change as the Match Progresses
With live in-play betting, you can place bets even after a match has started. Odds update in real time with every wicket, every six, and every maiden over.
Say Team A makes a good start in the first innings — Team B's odds of winning will lengthen. If three quick wickets fall mid-match, the odds shift again rapidly. This constant movement is what makes live betting distinct.
Live betting in T20 is the most fast-paced — whether 20 runs are needed off the last 10 balls in the death overs is reflected in the odds almost instantly. In ODI, powerplay and middle-over performance drive live market changes.
Live betting in Test matches is more complex — pitch conditions, rain interruptions and follow-on decisions all affect the odds.
Useful Habits for Cricket Betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — following the habits below helps keep the experience controlled and balanced. Reading the responsible gaming guide offers advice on keeping betting a healthy pastime.
Set Your Budget Beforehand
Before you start betting, decide on a maximum amount to set aside. Staying within that budget is the sensible approach.
Understand one market well
Rather than betting on many markets at once, start by understanding one market thoroughly — such as match winner.
Analyse by format
Betting on T20, ODI and Test works differently. Rather than applying the same approach to all three, think about each one separately.
No rushing in live betting
Live odds change quickly, but take a moment before each decision. Base your bets on information, not impulse.
Use multi bets with care
Multi bets offer higher returns but carry higher risk. Assess each selection on its own merits.
Take Breaks
Take breaks between betting sessions rather than betting continuously. bk99's VIP programme offers weekly cashback for regular players.
