Cricket Betting at tkgm — place bets on every match from T20 to Test
tkgm is where you bet on Bangladesh's most popular sport. BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup — use your knowledge across all formats with markets ranging from match winner to top batsman.
The three formats of cricket and which competitions get the most attention
Cricket's three main formats — T20, One-Day International (ODI) and Test — each bring a different pace and set of tactics. T20 is the fastest: matches end in just 20 overs, so odds shift quickly and every over matters. In ODI, a fifty-over contest means a mid-innings collapse or an unexpected recovery can change the picture entirely. In Test cricket, five days of play combined with wickets, weather and pitch conditions create a much higher level of uncertainty.
The BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) holds a special place in Bangladesh's betting community — enthusiasm for this domestic franchise tournament grows every season. India's IPL is the biggest T20 league in the world — every match combines high-scoring batting and world-class bowling, making it the most active betting market. On the international stage, the ICC T20 World Cup and Bangladesh Tigers series are the most popular among local bettors. You will find markets for all formats and competitions at tkgm Bet.
From BPL to ICC tournaments — betting markets across all major competitions are open at tkgm.
Popular betting markets in cricket — how each one works
Each market has its own structure. Below is a brief introduction to seven common markets — all examples use Team A and Team B.
The team that wins the match
Bet on which of Team A or Team B will win. T20 and ODI matches generally have no draw, so you choose between two possible outcomes.
The toss result
Bet on which team wins the toss before the match begins. The outcome is entirely random, so odds on both sides are usually close to equal.
The batter who scores the most runs
Pick which batter will score the most runs within a specific team. With four or five contenders in a side, odds are generally higher here.
Total runs over or under
The bookmaker sets a runs line — for example 160. Choose whether the combined total runs by both teams will go above or stay below that line.
The higher opening stand
Bet on which team's opening partnership will add more runs. Pitch conditions and the pace bowling attack play a big role in this market.
Multiple matches combined
Combine selections from multiple matches or events into one bet. If all selections are correct you receive a return at the combined odds — if any single one is wrong the entire bet is lost.
Handicap market: A weaker team is given a notional head start in runs to level the contest. For example, giving Team A a 15-run handicap means Team A must win by 16 or more runs in reality — simply winning the match is not enough.
How to read odds — three formats explained
Cricket betting sites generally work with three odds formats: decimal, fractional and American. Decimal is the most common among Bangladeshi bettors because the calculation is straightforward.
Example 1 — the same value in three formats (Team A wins, stake ৳500):
Decimal 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200. If the bet wins, the return is ৳1,500 (৳1,000 profit + original ৳500 stake); if it loses, ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 — favourite team's price (Team B wins):
Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American -125 (American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100). A ৳500 stake returns ৳900 (৳400 profit).
| Format | Team A (underdog) | Team B (favourite) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 2/1 | 4/5 |
| American | +200 | -125 |
| Return on ৳500 stake | ৳1,500 | ৳900 |
The numbers in the examples are only for illustrating the different formats — they are not live odds for any specific match.
Multi bet calculation
You place bets on three separate matches — odds of 1.50, 1.70 and 1.90 respectively. The combined odds are 1.50 × 1.70 × 1.90 = 4.84 (approximately). A ৳100 stake returns ৳484 — but only if all three selections are correct. If even one is wrong, the entire ৳100 is lost.
A wicket falls and the odds shift — how in-play betting works
In-play or live betting means placing bets while the match is in progress. In cricket this is particularly interesting because the situation can change with every ball. If a team loses three wickets in quick succession, their odds of winning rise sharply while their opponents' odds shorten — and this happens in real time.
The same applies over by over: big runs in the powerplay push up the run rate, so the over/under market line updates too. When a hard-hitter is batting in the death overs, the top batsman market odds start moving as well.
Live betting requires quick decisions, so using a mobile app is convenient. Download the tkgm App and place bets as you watch the match — available for both Android and iOS through official channels.
Wicket = odds shift
When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds of winning increase and the bowling team's odds shorten.
Required run rate pressure
As the required run rate climbs, the over/under line and match winner odds move together.
Football and other sports — how they differ from cricket
After cricket, football is the second most popular betting sport at tkgm. In football a draw within 90 minutes is a common result, so there are usually three outcome options — home win, draw, away win. T20 cricket generally has two outcomes, so the betting structure is different.
Football has markets like correct score, goals over/under and both teams to score (BTTS) — none of which exist in cricket. Conversely, cricket markets such as number of wickets, partnership or powerplay runs have no equivalent in football.
Some bettors focus solely on cricket, while others follow both cricket and football. Because the betting structure differs between the two sports, each requires its own approach to analysis.
Beyond cricket, tkgm offers betting markets on football and several other sports.
A few practical tips for cricket betting
-
Understand the format before choosing a market. T20 tends to produce more runs, so over/under lines are generally higher. In Test cricket a draw is a real outcome — keep all three options in mind.
-
Consider the pitch and weather conditions. Pace bowlers are less effective on spin-friendly pitches. If rain is forecast, odds can shift due to the possibility of a shortened match.
-
Set a budget and stick to it. Decide in advance how much you will stake on each match. If a bet loses, it is better not to place a larger bet trying to recover the loss. Betting is for entertainment, not a guaranteed way to make money.
-
Build knowledge in one market first. Rather than spreading across all markets at once, start building experience in straightforward markets like match winner or over/under. Move to live betting or multi bets later.
-
Play responsibly. Keep cricket betting within limits you are comfortable with. Read the responsible gaming guidelines for more details.
Multi bet vs single bet
Multi bets offer higher combined odds and therefore a higher potential return — but the risk is also higher. A single bet depends on just one outcome.
Both single and multi bets can be placed on tkgm Bet.
