Cricket Betting at bk33 — Complete Guide for BPL, IPL and International Matches
From T20 to Test, home pitches to away — bk33 offers odds for every cricket format. Understand the markets, place your bets with care, and enjoy the game.
Cricket's Three Formats and Betting
The first step to understanding cricket betting is knowing the difference between formats. Each format has a different match pace, types of results and available markets.
| Format | Feature | Betting Aspect |
|---|---|---|
| T20 | Only 20 overs, fast result | Live betting most active; odds change every over |
| ODI | 50 overs, full-day play | Many opportunities in mid-match markets; partnership markets are popular |
| Test | Up to five days, a game of strategy | Match can be drawn; bets can be placed on all three outcomes |
For cricket fans in Bangladesh, the BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) is the closest competition to home. Interest in the IPL, T20 World Cup and international series is also strong. bk33 offers a range of markets for all these tournaments.
Other Sports Alongside Cricket
At bk33, you can bet on football and other sports in addition to cricket. However, the betting experience differs for each sport. Cricket betting has wicket, run and over markets — which football does not. Football mainly features goals, corners and half-time score markets.
Because cricket is played over a longer period, there are more opportunities for the situation to shift during live betting. Five wickets in one over can change the odds dramatically. In football, a single goal can alter the whole flow of a match, but odds movement is comparatively slower.

If you are looking for card-based entertainment, Teen Patti 20-20 is a popular option where card game skill comes into play instead of sports betting.
Sports Comparison
- Cricket — longer game, more markets
- Football — fast-paced, goal-focused
- Basketball — point spread and quarters
- Each sport requires its own strategy
Popular Betting Markets in Cricket
Match Winner
The simplest market — pick which team will win. T20 has two outcomes (Team A or Team B); Test has three (Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw).
Good Starting PointToss Betting
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The outcome is entirely down to chance, so odds are generally close to even on both sides.
Pre-MatchTop Batsman
Bet on which batter will score the most runs in an innings or across the whole match. If you know the team's batting order, this market can be interesting.
PerformanceTotal Runs Over/Under
Choose whether the total runs in an innings or the full match will be over or under a set number. Pitch conditions and weather are important factors.
Runs MarketMulti Bet
Combine the results of multiple matches into a single bet. If all your selections are correct the reward is much larger, but if even one is wrong the entire bet is lost.
Multiple MatchesFirst Wicket Partnership
Bet on whether the opening partnership will score above or below a set number of runs. This market is especially popular in T20 because the opening overs often set the tone for the match.
In-PlayHow to Understand Odds in Three Formats
On bk33 and most online betting platforms, odds are displayed in three ways: decimal, fractional and American. All three represent the same price. The two examples below should make this clear.
The same price in three formats:
2.25 (Decimal) = 5/4 (Fractional) = +125 (American)
If the bet wins, you receive ৳450 (৳250 profit + ৳200 stake). If the bet loses, ৳200 is gone.
The same price in three formats:
1.50 (Decimal) = 1/2 (Fractional) = -200 (American)
American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100. On a ৳200 stake the return is ৳300 (৳100 profit).
The decimal method is the simplest — just multiply your stake by the odds to get the total return. bk33 shows decimal odds by default.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Moving with Wickets and Overs
One of cricket's special appeals is live betting. You can place bets after the match has started and the odds update on every ball. A big six or a key wicket can shift the balance of the odds in an instant.
Say Team A is batting and scoring quickly — their odds in the match winner market will shorten (meaning they are becoming the favourite) and Team B's odds will lengthen. But if three wickets fall in the powerplay, the odds will flip back again.
Decisions in live betting must be made quickly. It is therefore wise to set a budget before placing any bets. You can read more about responsible play in our responsible gaming guidelines.
Users across the country, including Dhaka, can place bets on bk33 while following live scores on mobile, as the platform is mobile-friendly.
How Live Markets Move
- A wicket in the powerplay lengthens the odds of the team expected to score
- With 5 overs left and the target close, the chasing team's odds shorten
- A rain break triggers a D/L recalculation of the odds
- A top-order batsman getting out affects the total runs market
- Odds in in-play markets change very quickly — caution is essential
Some Useful Tips Before You Start Betting
Cricket betting is a form of entertainment. There is no guaranteed method to stay profitable in the long run — betting always carries risk. Keeping a few points in mind can make the experience more disciplined.
- Set a budget before each betting session and stick to it
- Spread your bets across different markets rather than putting everything on one
- In live betting, base your decisions on what is happening in the match, not on emotion
- Multi bets offer potentially large rewards, but the risk is also higher
- Avoid placing large bets to try to recover losses
- Never think of betting as a source of income — it is entertainment
Multi Bets and Calculating Multiple Markets
Decimal odds across three separate matches: 1.40 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.28 (approximately)
Stake ৳100 — if all three selections are correct, return is ৳428. But if any one selection is wrong, you lose the full ৳100. The teams here are Team A, Team B, Team A — a hypothetical example.
To get the combined odds in a multi bet, multiply the odds of each selection together. The more selections, the higher the potential reward — but the lower the chance of all of them coming in. It pays to be careful with multi bets.
