Cricket Betting at krikey — Complete Guide to BPL, IPL and T20 Betting
krikey brings the full cricket betting experience for cricket fans in Bangladesh. Match winner, toss, top batsman, live in-play — all markets in one place.
Three Cricket Formats and Where to Bet
Cricket is played in three main formats — T20, ODI, and Test. The pace, strategy, and betting markets differ across all three. krikey lets you bet on all three formats.
T20 is the fastest format. Each team plays just 20 overs, so scores and odds can shift in an instant. BPL, IPL, and the T20 World Cup are the three tournaments that draw the most interest from Bangladeshi bettors. Participation increases significantly during BPL, when the domestic teams are in action.
ODI is a 50-over format where mid-game strategy plays an important role. ODI betting takes on extra significance during the Bangladesh Tigers' international series.
Test cricket is played over five days, so innings-based markets and longer-term bets are available. When Bangladesh plays in ICC tournaments, the enthusiasm among local bettors is clearly visible.
Popular Markets in Cricket Betting
krikey offers a variety of cricket betting markets. Each market has its own character — below is a plain explanation of the seven most common ones.
Match Winner
You bet on which of the two teams will win. Example: if you back Team A and Team A wins, your stake is returned along with your profit.
Toss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts — just one outcome to call. A simple market with a quick result.
Top Run Scorer
Bet on which player within a specific team will score the most runs. Pick who you think will be Team B's top batter in advance.
Total Runs Over / Under
The platform sets a runs target. You decide whether the total runs scored in the match will be above that number (over) or below it (under).
Multi Bet
Several matches or markets combined into a single bet. All selections must be correct to win, so the risk is higher — but so is the return.
Wicket Market
Markets on how many wickets will fall or how many runs will be scored in a specific over — this type of detailed market is especially popular in T20 matches.
How to Read and Understand Odds
Betting odds are written in three different formats — Decimal, Fractional, and American. All three express the same probability; only the presentation differs.
| Format | Team A (Underdog) | Team B (Favourite) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 4/5 |
| American | +125 | -125 |
If you are new, start with decimal format — it is the simplest. On the krikey platform you can choose whichever format you prefer. Before placing any bet, always read the responsible gaming guidelines.
Live Betting During a Match — Odds Change with Every Ball
Live in-play betting is a little different from standard pre-match betting. You can place bets after the match has started, and the odds change with every wicket that falls or every over that is completed.
Say Team A takes to the field and quickly loses two wickets — at that moment their odds of winning will lengthen, because a team under pressure is now considered a greater risk. Team B's odds will shorten in response. These shifts create new opportunities to place a bet.
In T20, odds move fastest during the powerplay and death overs — around the sixth and seventeenth overs. Live markets are especially active during these periods.
Since you have less time to decide in live betting, set a limit on how much you are willing to stake before you start. Betting is always for entertainment — keep that in mind while you play.
Useful Habits for Cricket Betting
Betting is a form of entertainment. Playing with awareness keeps the experience positive.
Set Your Budget Beforehand
Decide how much you are willing to spend before each session. Avoid going beyond that limit.
Focus on One Market at a Time
If you are new, start by betting only on the match winner market. Placing bets across many markets at once makes things complicated.
Understand the Odds Before You Bet
Betting without understanding the odds can lead to unexpected outcomes. Work through the examples above until you feel comfortable.
Play Easily on Mobile
The krikey app is available on Android and iOS. It is available through official channels, making it safe and convenient.
Be Careful with Multi Bets
Every selection in a multi bet must be correct. Missing even one means the entire bet is lost. Start with small stakes.
Take Regular Breaks
Betting continuously reduces focus. Taking a break between matches is a good habit.
How Football and Other Sports Betting Differs
At krikey you can bet on football as well as cricket. However, the market structure of the two sports is quite different. Football has the possibility of a draw, so the match winner market has three outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw. In cricket (especially T20 and ODI formats) a draw does not normally occur, so you simply choose between two outcomes.
In football, half-time/full-time, corner count, and goalscorer markets are popular. In cricket, over-by-over runs, wickets, and partnership markets are more common in their place. The way markets and odds are structured varies by sport, but the language for reading odds is the same.
Whether you bet on cricket or football, krikey Bet has all markets in one place. New users can find answers to common betting questions on the FAQ page.
