Cricket Betting at tk71 — A Complete Guide to Betting on BPL, IPL and International Matches
Bangladesh cricket fans can bet on all three formats — T20, ODI and Test — at tk71. Every market from Match Winner to Top Batsman is available in one place.
Cricket's Three Formats and the Tournaments Worth Betting On
When cricket betting comes up, T20 is the first format that comes to mind for Bangladesh fans. Matches finish quickly, the situation changes with every over, and markets stay the most active. BPL is Bangladesh's own T20 league — interest in the performances of local and overseas players in this tournament is naturally high.
IPL is India's franchise league, but it has a large following in Bangladesh. And during ICC T20 World Cup matches featuring the Tigers, betting markets on tk71 are at their busiest.
ODI matches run over 50 overs, so the betting approach is a little different. Run rates shift across each powerplay and middle phase, opening up new markets. In Test cricket the result is decided over five days, with "draw" as a separate outcome — so more markets are available here than in the other two formats.
Football and Other Sports Betting — How It Differs from Cricket
After cricket, football is the most popular sport in Bangladesh. Many Bangladeshi fans regularly follow international football — especially European leagues and the World Cup. In football betting, results are settled within 90 minutes and a draw is a common outcome, so the three-way market (home win, draw, away win) is the main betting option.
In cricket, odds shift moment to moment based on wickets and overs, which is different from the goal-based changes in football. Sports like tennis, kabaddi or badminton have simpler market structures — generally based on the match winner and set score.
Those interested in gaming events as well as cricket can find more details on esports betting — it is covered separately there.
Popular Markets in Cricket Betting
Before the match and during it — these markets get the most use
Match Winner
A bet on which team will win the match. T20 and ODI have two outcomes (home or away win), Test has three (win for either team or draw). Example: if you bet on Team A to win, you get a return only if Team A wins.
Simple Market Good for BeginnersToss Winner
Which team wins the toss — a completely 50/50 market. It has no connection to the match result, so the market is easy to understand. Example: you win simply if your chosen team wins the toss; pitch conditions do not matter here.
Independent MarketTop Batsman
Which batsman will score the most runs in an innings or across the whole match. Top-order batsmen generally get more opportunities, so their odds are lower, while lower-order batsmen carry higher odds.
Individual PerformanceTotal Runs Over/Under
Whether the total runs scored in an innings or a full match will be more (over) or less (under) than a set number. Example: if you bet Over on a line of 160 runs in an innings, you win if the total reaches 161 or more.
Two-Way MarketMulti Bet (Multiple Bets)
Combining the outcomes of multiple matches into a single bet. If all selections are correct, the return multiplies significantly. Example: if you pick the results of three matches together, losing even one means you lose the entire bet — so the risk is higher.
Higher Return Higher RiskMan of the Match
A bet on who will be named the best performer at the end of the match. The award can come from batting, bowling or fielding, so the odds on this market are generally higher than most.
All-Round PerformanceHow to Read Odds — Three Formats
Cricket betting odds are written in three different formats: decimal, fractional and American. All three convey the same information — only the way they are expressed differs.
| Format | Team A Win Odds | Team B Win Odds |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 4/5 |
| American | +125 | −125 |
Example 1 — Team A Win (Underdog):
A ৳200 bet — if Team A wins, return is ৳450 (৳250 profit + ৳200 stake back); if Team A loses, you lose ৳200.
Example 2 — Team B Win (Favourite):
A ৳200 stake returns ৳360 (৳160 profit). In American format, −125 means you need to stake ৳125 to win ৳100.
How Returns Are Calculated in a Multi Bet
In a multi bet, the odds of each selection are multiplied together. If three match selections have decimal odds of 1.60, 1.70 and 1.80, the combined odds are: 1.60 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.90 (approximately).
A ৳100 bet returns ৳490 if all three selections are correct. But if even one selection is wrong, you lose the full ৳100.
The appeal of a multi bet is the higher return, but every selection must be correct independently. The more selections you add, the lower the chance of winning. It is best to treat betting as entertainment — not as a reliable source of income.

Live Betting — Odds Change with Wickets and Overs
Placing bets while a match is in progress is called live or in-play betting. In cricket this is particularly engaging because the situation can change with every ball.
Say Team A has scored only 30 runs in the first 6 overs of a T20 match and lost 2 wickets. At this point, the odds on Team A winning will be higher than before — because their chances of winning have dropped. But if a batter looks in good form and hits a few big shots, the odds can fall quickly over the next few balls.
In Test matches, live betting shifts slowly but significantly — pitch conditions and weather at the end of each day affect the odds. In ODI, live markets are most active after the powerplay, based on the run rate and wickets remaining.
Live betting requires quick decisions, as odds can change within seconds. It is always advisable to stay within your budget.
Some Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Start with One Market
Begin by getting comfortable with the Match Winner or Toss market. There is no need to jump into all markets at once. Once you understand a market, you can gradually move to Top Batsman or Over/Under.
Choose Markets That Suit the Format
In T20, Total Runs and Multi Bets work well; in Test, Match Winner and session betting are more relevant. Each format has its own pace — it is worth choosing markets that match it.
Keep to Your Budget
Decide in advance how much you will set aside for each session and stick to it. Betting is a form of entertainment — not a place to take on financial pressure. Following the Responsible Gaming guidelines is important.
Avoid Rushing in Live Betting
When a wicket falls suddenly or a big shot is hit, odds change fast. Rather than placing a bet quickly out of impulse, it is better to take a moment to read the situation before deciding.
Keep Selections Low in Multi Bets
Adding more than 3–4 selections to a multi bet significantly reduces the chance of winning. Fewer selections mean less risk, and the return stays reasonable.
