Cricket Formats and Competitions — Which One to Bet On?
T20 cricket is the most familiar format for cricket fans in Bangladesh. BPL generates excitement across the country every year, while IPL and the T20 World Cup attract attention on the international stage. dk offers betting on every match in all three competitions.
T20 matches finish quickly — in just a few hours. In this format, odds shift after every over, making it ideal for live betting. ODI matches span fifty overs and offer far more markets — including innings-based runs, top bowler, and highest wicket-taker markets. In Test cricket, a draw is possible over five days, so separate odds are offered for three possible outcomes: team A wins, team B wins, or draw.
On days when Bangladesh Tigers play international matches, the range of cricket betting markets at dk grows noticeably. ICC events bring the world's top teams together, and several markets are open at the same time.
The Most Popular Betting Markets at dk
Each market offers a different type of prediction. Below are seven main markets with a brief explanation of each.
Match Winner
A bet on which team will win the match. In T20 and ODI there are only two outcomes (draws are not common in limited-overs cricket), so the odds are split directly between the two teams. Example: if team A wins, your full stake on team A is returned with profit.
Simple and PopularToss Prediction
You can place a bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. There are only two outcomes (heads or tails), so the odds are roughly equal. This is a familiar market for new bettors.
Quick ResultTop Batsman
A prediction of who will score the most runs for a given team. Because there are multiple options within the team, the odds are comparatively higher. Example: predicting the top run-scorer for team A — a correct prediction in this market gives a good return.
High OddsTotal Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs in the match will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. Example: if you bet that total runs will be over 315, you win if the combined total is 316 or more.
Two PossibilitiesMethod of First Wicket
A bet on how the first wicket will fall — bowled, caught, run out, or LBW. This market is preferred by experienced bettors because it calls for tactical knowledge of cricket.
Expert MarketMulti-Bet (Multiple Bets Combined)
Combining bets from multiple markets creates a multi-bet. If all bets are correct, the total odds multiply. Example: if three bets have odds of 1.40, 1.50 and 1.60 respectively, the combined odds are 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.60 = 3.36 (approximately) — a ৳100 stake returns ৳336, but if any single bet loses, the entire stake is lost.
Higher Return PossibleInnings Runs Handicap
A market is created by notionally placing one team ahead or behind. If team A is set 15 runs behind, that handicap is added to determine the final result. This market narrows the gap in strength between the two teams.
Balanced OddsHow to Read Odds — Three Formats
When betting on cricket at dk, odds may be shown in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three convey the same information; only the way they are written differs.
All Three Formats with One Example
Bet of ৳200 on team A to win:
- Decimal: 2.50 — total return = ৳200 × 2.50 = ৳500 (profit ৳300 + original stake ৳200)
- Fractional: 3/2 — ৳3 profit for every ৳2 staked; profit on ৳200 stake = ৳300
- American: +150 — the plus sign means ৳150 profit on a ৳100 stake; profit on ৳200 stake = ৳300
If the bet loses, the full ৳200 is gone.
How Favourite Odds Look
Bet of ৳200 on team B to win (favourite):
- Decimal: 1.80 — total return ৳200 × 1.80 = ৳360 (profit ৳160)
- Fractional: 4/5 — ৳4 profit for every ৳5 staked
- American: −125 — the minus sign means you need to stake ৳125 to win ৳100 profit
A favourite's odds are always close to 1.00, so the profit is comparatively low.

Live In-Play Betting — Odds Change as Overs Change
Live in-play betting is the most dynamic part of cricket betting. Every wicket, every boundary and every maiden over during the match immediately shifts the odds.
For example, imagine team A is at 70 runs for 6 wickets at the tenth over of a T20 match. At that moment, team B's chances of winning are much higher, so team A's odds may go above 4.00. But if team A scores 18 runs in the next over, the odds drop quickly.
The most popular markets in live betting are: runs in the next over, when the next wicket will fall, and total runs over/under in the last five overs. These markets change fast, so you need to pay close attention.
In the live betting section at dk, the match score, over count and latest odds are all visible together. When playing on mobile, keeping live notifications on in the dk App means you are unlikely to miss any major change.
How Betting on Football and Other Sports Differs
Football betting is also popular at dk alongside cricket. The two sports differ in how betting works. In football, the match winner market has three outcomes — team A wins, team B wins, and draw. In limited-overs cricket there is generally no draw; a draw is only possible in Test cricket.
In a ninety-minute football match, handicap, both teams to score (BTTS), and corner count markets are especially popular. The cricket equivalents of these are, respectively, runs handicap, both teams' wickets, and no-ball or wide count markets.
At dk, betting is available on football, tennis and other sports in addition to cricket. Go to the sports betting page to read the full market list and betting guide for each sport.
Cricket vs Football — Key Differences
- Cricket T20/ODI: no draw, only two possible outcomes
- Test Cricket: a draw is possible — three outcomes
- Football: always three outcomes (win, loss, draw)
- Cricket has more innings-based markets
- Football has a separate half-time score market
Some Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — enjoying the experience win or lose should be the main goal. The tips below apply equally to new and regular bettors.
- Set a budget first: Decide how much you will stake each week or each match before you start. Stay within that limit.
- Focus on one market: Start with straightforward markets like match winner or over/under. Spreading across too many markets at once increases the chance of mistakes.
- Keep pitch and weather in mind: Runs are generally lower on spin-friendly pitches. Knowing the advantage of winning the toss makes toss market predictions easier.
- Be careful with multi-bets: Returns are higher in a multi-bet, but losing any single bet loses everything. It is better not to include unfamiliar matches in a multi-bet.
- Avoid rushing in live betting: Odds change fast, but placing bets on impulse increases the chance of a loss. Waiting a few minutes lets the situation become clearer.
- Follow responsible gaming: Betting should not become a source of stress. Read the responsible gaming guide for more information.
