Cricket's Three Formats and Major Tournaments
When it comes to cricket betting, the first question is about format. T20 matches finish within 20 overs, so market results come quickly. ODI matches are fifty overs — the pace of the match shifts in the middle overs, and markets move with it. Test cricket runs over five days, with a draw as a possible result — each of these three formats calls for its own type of analysis.
For cricket fans in Bangladesh, the BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) is one of the biggest events of the year. India's IPL and the ICC T20 World Cup are also very popular among tk1917 bettors. When the Bangladesh Tigers play in an international series, interest in the markets picks up noticeably. Markets for various matches across every tournament are available on the same platform.
Beyond cricket, tk1917 also has markets for football, badminton and other sports — but before heading to those pages, it's worth getting a solid understanding of cricket's own markets, since differences in format and rules directly affect how you place bets.
Football and Other Sports — What's the Difference?
In a 90-minute football match, a draw is a common result, so markets typically offer three options — Team A wins, Team B wins, draw. In T20 or ODI cricket there's no draw, making the market simpler. But in Test cricket the draw returns, and pitch behaviour also changes over five days — that's a major difference from football.
Other sports have their own distinct market structures. Badminton matches run on a points system; tennis on sets. Betting after understanding each sport's own rules makes decisions far more informed. At tk1917, you can take part in markets across multiple sports from the same account.
Those interested in casino games can also visit the PP Live Casino section to play live baccarat and roulette — there you get the experience of playing directly with a real dealer.
Three possible outcomes — win, loss and draw. Goal line, handicap and corner markets are popular.
Set and game-based markets. Match momentum changes quickly, making live betting particularly useful.
Wickets, runs, overs and individual performance — the widest range of market options.
7 Popular Betting Markets — Explained Simply
Match Winner
Bet on which team will win the match. Two options in T20 or ODI; three in Test (Team A, Team B, draw).
Toss Winner
Who will win the toss — this is an entirely separate market with no connection to the match result.
Top Batsman
Which player will score the most runs in the match — a market based on individual performance.
Total Runs Over/Under
Whether the total runs in an innings or the whole match will be above or below a set number — a numbers-based market.
Method of First Wicket
How the first wicket will fall — bowled, caught, run out or LBW — a specific market that is decided within the first few balls.
Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
Combining multiple matches or markets into a single bet — for example, three selections with decimal odds of 1.40, 1.80 and 1.90 give combined odds of 1.40 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 4.79 (approximately), so a ৳100 bet returns ৳479 — but only if all selections win.
Handicap Runs
The weaker team is given a run head start to level the market — this makes betting on the less fancied side more meaningful.
Odds Are Written Three Ways — How Do You Read Them?
Odds in cricket or any sport are displayed in three formats: decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same probability in different ways — none is better than the others.
| Format | Team A Win (Example) | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | Total return including stake — bet × 2.25 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | Stake 4, profit 5 |
| American | +125 | Plus means stake 100, profit 125 |
Example 1 — Evenly matched teams: Bet on Team A to win, stake ৳1,000. Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125. If you win, return is ৳2,250 (৳1,250 profit + ৳1,000 stake); if you lose, ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite team: Team B is the favourite — Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400 (minus means you need to stake 400 to win 100). A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,250 if you win (৳250 profit); if you lose, ৳1,000 is gone.
A simple cricket example: in a limited-overs match (where there is no draw), Team A's odds are 1.80 and Team B's are 2.00. A ৳500 bet on Team B returns ৳1,000 if Team B wins (৳500 profit); if Team A wins, the full ৳500 is lost.
Simple Rules for Reading Odds
- Decimal odds are always greater than 1.
- 1.00 means no profit.
- Lower odds mean the team is more favoured.
- American + means underdog, − means favourite.
- All three formats give the same information.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Change with Every Ball
In live betting, you can place bets on a match already in progress — odds update instantly when a wicket falls, a big score comes, or the powerplay ends. This is different from bets placed before the match starts.
In live in-play betting, the flow of the match directly affects the markets. For instance, when the third wicket falls, pressure on the run rate increases — at that moment the batting side's odds shift. tk1917's live dashboard shows over-by-over updates.
In-play betting is especially effective in cricket because the situation changes constantly. Six boundaries in an over can push the bowling side's odds up; a maiden over that puts the batting side under pressure is reflected in the market too.
In live betting, decisions need to be made quickly — markets can sometimes suspend for a few seconds, particularly after a wicket. This is normal and happens on every platform.

Some Practical Betting Tips
Betting is entertainment — no one can guarantee a profit. Keeping the following in mind will make the experience much more disciplined.
Start with One Format
T20, ODI and Test markets are different. Build experience in one before moving to the others.
Set a Budget
Fix a set amount for each day or week and do not go beyond it.
Be Careful with Multi Bets
When combining multiple selections into one bet, a single loss means the entire bet is lost — size your risk accordingly.
Don't Chase Losses
Placing a larger bet to quickly recover from a loss is not a good decision.
