tk1917 Cricket Betting — from Bangladesh Tigers matches to the World Cup
For cricket fans in Bangladesh, tk1917 offers live odds across T20, ODI and Test formats, multiple betting markets, and local payment options including bKash and Nagad.
Cricket's Three Formats and Major Tournaments
T20, ODI and Test — each format calls for a different approach to betting. Knowing which markets suit which format is worth understanding.
T20
The fastest format — just 20 overs. BPL and IPL are both played in T20 format. The situation changes every over, making this the most popular format for live betting.
BPL · IPLODI
In a 50-over ODI match the pace shifts more gradually. The ICC World Cup is generally played in this format. Top batsman and wicket-related markets are especially interesting here.
ICC · World CupTest
A five-day match tests strategy and patience. Pitch conditions and weather have a significant effect on odds. With three possible results including a draw, the market depth is greater.

Bangladesh's Favourite Tournaments
The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) generates excitement across the country every season — from stadiums in Dhaka to tea stalls in the villages. tk1917 offers multiple markets for every BPL match. The IPL is played each year in April–May and has a huge following in Bangladesh. tk1917 sees the most interest during Bangladesh Tigers matches in the T20 World Cup and ICC Trophy competitions.
If you are also interested in slots or other games alongside cricket, you will find hundreds of slot games on the tk1917 Slots page.
Football and Other Sports
tk1917 is not limited to cricket — you can also bet on football and other sports.
Bangladeshi bettors tend to feel most comfortable with cricket betting — the passion and knowledge for the game run deep. For football, markets are available on Premier League, La Liga and Champions League matches. There is a difference between cricket and football betting though — cricket has ball-by-ball and over-by-over markets, while football markets centre more on goals and half-time results.
In cricket, odds shift instantly when a wicket falls or a big six is hit; in football the market stays relatively steady until a goal is scored. If you are interested in Kabaddi or other local sports, tk1917 has options for those too.
Alongside sports betting, tk1917 Casino also offers live casino and card games.
Popular Betting Markets
Cricket betting is not limited to just "who will win". Here are seven familiar markets.
Match Winner
A bet on which team wins the match. In T20 there is no draw — two outcomes: Team A or Team B wins. ODI is generally the same.
EasiestToss Winner
Which team wins the toss — entirely separate from the match result. The importance of the toss varies with pitch and weather conditions.
Independent marketTop Batsman
Which batsman scores the most runs in their own team. Batting order and current form play a big role here.
Skill marketTotal Runs Over/Under
The bookmaker sets a line — for example 160 runs. You bet on whether Team A will score above or below that number.
Run-basedMulti-Bet
Multiple selections from different matches are combined. Example: three selections at decimal odds of 1.40, 1.50 and 1.70 give combined odds of 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.70 = 3.57 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳357 if all selections win — but if even one loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
Higher returnInnings Top Wicket-Taker
Which bowler takes the most wickets in an innings. This market becomes interesting based on the pitch type and the opposition's batting line-up.
Bowling marketHow does a betting exchange work?
In a regular sportsbook you bet against the bookmaker. On an exchange, two bettors bet against each other. If you back Team A at decimal 1.80 odds with ৳1,000, you win ৳800 profit (before commission) if Team A wins, and lose ৳1,000 if they do not. If you lay Team A at the same odds, your liability is ৳800 (৳1,000 × 0.80); you win ৳1,000 if Team A does not win, and pay out ৳800 if they do.
Reading Odds in Three Formats
The same odds can be written as decimal, fractional or American. See the example below.
Example 1 — betting on Team A to win: A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳2,250 if successful (৳1,250 profit + original ৳1,000 stake); if it loses, ৳1,000 is gone. American +125 means ৳125 profit on a ৳100 bet.
Example 2 — favourite Team B: Decimal 1.50 = Fractional 1/2 = American −200. American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100. A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,500 (৳500 profit).
In-Play Betting — Odds shift when a wicket falls
The chance to bet at real-time odds while a match is in progress — that is live betting.
In a T20 or ODI match, when a wicket falls the batting team's chance of reaching a big total goes down. As a result, their match winner odds rise immediately and the fielding team's odds shorten. The same happens when a batsman starts scoring quickly — their team's odds begin to fall.
The situation changes at the end of every over: if the score is low after the powerplay, the batting team's odds rise; a good partnership in the middle overs brings them down; and if the run rate is high in the last five overs, the batting team becomes the favourite.
Timing matters in live betting. Keep in mind though — this is entertainment, not a guaranteed way to make money. Before making a decision, think about the budget you have set for yourself. For more on betting, see the frequently asked questions.
What affects live odds
- Wicket falls (especially in the top order)
- Powerplay run rate
- A big six or four — odds change for the next over
- Rain or bad light — Duckworth-Lewis
- Runs needed in the final over
- Pitch behaviour — bounce or turn
A few practical points before you start betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — not an alternative income. A few simple habits help keep the experience positive.
Set a budget first
Decide in advance how much you will spend each day or each week. It is better not to bet more than that amount.
Understand the market before you bet
Match Winner is the simplest. It is a good place for beginners to start. Multi-bets and in-play betting are comparatively more complex.
Keep an eye on form and pitch reports
A team's recent performance and the pitch type (spin-friendly or pace-friendly) are relevant to betting decisions.
Avoid rushing in live betting
In-play odds change fast. Rather than making an instant decision driven by emotion, it helps to watch the situation for a moment first.
Bet responsibly
Betting is for entertainment, not a way to recover losses. Know your limits and take a break when you need to.
Cricket vs other betting
In cricket, odds change ball by ball — this is what Bangladeshi users know best and find most engaging. In football, goals are fewer in 90 minutes so the odds move more slowly. In casino games, results from a spin or a card come instantly.
