tkok Cricket Betting – Place bets on BPL, IPL and T20 through to Test cricket in all formats
Cricket is more than a sport for people in Bangladesh — it is passion. At tkok, you can bring that passion together with the betting experience, from before the match right up to the last ball.
Three Cricket Formats and Major Tournaments
To understand cricket betting, you first need to know the difference between the three main formats. T20 is the fastest — in a 20-over match a lot can change in moments, so betting markets update frequently. ODIs have 50 overs, giving strategy and patience a bigger role. Test cricket runs over five days — markets are available for everything from opening partnerships to the chance of a draw or a win.
The tournament Bangladeshi fans follow most closely is the BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), where local teams face each other directly. The IPL is India's biggest franchise tournament and is hugely popular in Bangladesh too. Bangladesh Tigers matches in international cricket, including the ICC T20 World Cup, get the most attention in the betting markets.
Alongside betting on all these tournaments at tkok, you can also place bets on football or other sports — but the cricket section offers the greatest depth and variety of markets.
How Betting Differs Across Cricket, Football and Other Sports
The biggest difference between cricket and football betting is the match structure. In football, a draw is a common result — so the market has three options (1 × 2). In limited-overs cricket, matches generally end in a straight win or loss between two teams, making the market different. In Test cricket a draw is possible, so the betting structure is more similar to football.
Sports like Kabaddi, Badminton or Tennis have fewer betting markets, but their point-based or set-based markets offer a different kind of interest. Betting on all these sports at tkok can be enjoyed as a form of entertainment.

Popular Cricket Betting Markets
There are various types of markets — each with its own characteristics and approach.
Match Winner
Pick which team will win the match. Example: Team A faces Team B — you choose Team B. If Team B wins, your bet is successful; if they lose, your stake is gone.
Toss Betting
Pick the toss-winning team before the match starts. This is a simple two-option market — the result is clear from the very first moment of the match.
Top Batsman
Predict which batter will score the most runs in that match. Considering the batter's recent form and the nature of the pitch makes this a more strategic market.
Total Runs Over/Under
Choose whether the combined runs of both teams will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. Pitch conditions and weather play a big role in this market.
Top Wicket-Taker
Pick which bowler will take the most wickets. On a spin-friendly pitch, the outcome of this market can be particularly interesting.
Multi Bet / Multiple Selections
Place bets on three matches at once — you win only if all of them are correct. Example: three selections at odds of 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.60 gives combined odds of 3.36; a ৳100 stake returns ৳336 — but if any one loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
Handicap and Over/Under Markets: These markets create an artificial gap between the teams. In a handicap, the weaker team is given an advantage; in over/under, the result is determined by whether a set number is exceeded or not. The concept is easy to understand without any stake or return involved.
How to Read Odds – Three Formats
Odds on a betting site can be shown in three ways — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same information; only the way they are written differs. Here is an example to explain:
Example 1 — Team A to win, stake ৳200
If you win, total return is ৳500 (৳300 profit + ৳200 stake). If you lose, ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite Team B to win, stake ৳200
American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win 100. Here a ৳200 stake returns ৳250 (৳50 profit).
The decimal format is the simplest — multiply your stake by the odds to get the total return. tkok generally uses decimal odds, though there may also be the option to switch formats.
Live In-Play Betting — Bets While the Match Is On
When a Wicket Falls
When the batting team loses a wicket, pressure increases on the remaining batters. At that moment the bowling team's odds of winning tend to shorten, and the batting team's may lengthen.
Changes in the Final Overs
As the required run rate rises in the last five overs, the odds around the chasing team's chances of winning shift accordingly.
Powerplay Markets
Quick scoring in the powerplay can change the course of the match. New markets open in the live section — such as how many runs will be scored in the next over.
Weather and DLS
If overs are reduced due to rain, the target is recalculated under the DLS method. During this time the live betting market may be temporarily suspended.
In-play betting moves fast — odds change in an instant with every event in the match. Using tkok on mobile means you get live updates quickly. You can get the full live betting experience on the tkok App.
Some Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is for entertainment — not as a source of income. That said, keeping a few basic points in mind makes the experience better.
- Stick to your budget: Decide how much you will bet before each match and do not go beyond that limit.
- Check pitch and weather: On a spin-friendly pitch, spinners are more likely to take wickets — this affects betting markets.
- Recent team form: Looking at a team's performances over the last few matches gives you a sense of where they currently stand.
- Be careful with multi bets: Even if the combined odds are higher, one wrong selection loses the entire stake — it is better not to combine more than three selections.
- Take your time with live betting: Rushing a decision increases the chance of getting it wrong. Pause, understand the market, then place your bet.
- Know the rules: Before you start betting, read the Terms and Conditions carefully — especially the conditions around withdrawals and bonuses.
