tk10 Cricket Betting — Full Guide to T20, ODI and Test
For cricket fans in Bangladesh, tk10 offers detailed betting markets for BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup and international matches. From match winner to live in-play — all in one place.
Cricket's Three Formats and Popular Tournaments
Audiences in Bangladesh are familiar with all three formats of cricket — but from a betting perspective each is different because the nature of the result varies.
T20
Only 20 overs per innings, so results change quickly. BPL and IPL are the most popular T20 leagues among bettors. Markets are open for every Bangladesh Tigers match at the T20 World Cup.
Fast Results BPL • IPLODI
In this 50-over format matches are longer, so betting markets are broader. Odds move around partnerships, dot-ball periods or after the powerplay. The ICC Champions Trophy and Asia Cup receive the most attention here.
50 Overs ICC • Asia CupTest
In this five-day format a draw is a valid result, so the match winner market has three options. Betting by wicket, session or day requires a different approach in Test cricket. Preferred by patient bettors.

7 Popular Betting Markets
Cricket betting at tk10 goes beyond just match winner — there are many more markets available. Here is a simple explanation of how each one works.
Match Winner
Which team will win the match — this is the most straightforward market. Your bet wins if Team A wins or Team B wins. In Test cricket, a draw is also an option.
SimpleToss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result is entirely chance-based — no statistics are useful here.
Chance-BasedTop Batsman
Which batsman will score the most runs in an innings or across the whole match. You can pick any batsman and place a bet at good odds.
Individual PerformanceTotal Runs (Over/Under)
Whether a team's total runs will be above or below a set number (e.g. 165). Example: whether Team A's total runs will be more than 165.
Over/UnderTop Wicket Taker
Which bowler will take the most wickets in the match. On spin-friendly pitches the odds on this market can be attractive.
Bowler FocusMulti Bet
Combining multiple selections into one bet. Example: betting on the match winner of three separate matches at once multiplies the odds, making the potential payout larger — but if any one loses, the entire bet is lost.
Multiple SelectionsHandicap Betting
To reduce the gap between two teams, the weaker team is given a virtual head start in runs or wickets. Example: if Team B is given a 25-run head start, that amount is added to the final result for settlement purposes. There is no fixed return to calculate here — it is straightforward: the margin is added or subtracted from the result.
Runs in the First Over
A bet on how many total runs will be scored in the first over. This market is quite common because fewer fielders are placed outside the powerplay. In T20 it is one of the most popular in-play options.
How to Read Odds
Odds are written in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. Each one presents the same information in a different way.
| Format | Example | How to Read |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | Multiply your stake by this number to get the total return — including profit. |
| Fractional | 2/1 | The right number is the stake, the left number is the profit. 2/1 means ৳100 bet wins ৳200 profit. |
| American | +200 | Plus means how much profit a ৳100 bet makes. Minus means how much you need to bet to make ৳100 profit. |
Example 1 — The Same Odds in Three Formats
Suppose Team A wins, stake ৳500.
Decimal 3.00 = Fractional 2/1 = American +200
Total return if won: ৳1,500 (৳1,000 profit + ৳500 stake).
If lost, ৳500 is gone. The three numbers are just different ways of writing the same odds.
Example 2 — Favourite's Odds
Team B is more likely to win, so the odds are lower.
Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400
৳500 bet returns ৳625 (profit of only ৳125).
American minus odds show how much you need to bet to make ৳100 profit.
Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket at tk10, you will also find markets for football and other sports.
Football Betting
Betting markets are available for major leagues and tournaments in world football. The key difference from cricket is that in football a draw is always a separate result, so the match winner market usually has three options — Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw. In T20 cricket there is no draw, so only two options exist. Football also has no moment like a wicket — odds change after a goal or a card. Scoreline prediction markets are more common in football and are rarely seen in cricket.
Before placing any bets, it is a good idea to set your own entertainment budget. For more information on responsible betting, please read our responsible gaming guide.
Live In-Play Betting — From Wickets to Overs
Odds keep changing while a match is in progress. Being able to read these changes makes betting more engaging.
In-play betting in cricket is particularly engaging because the situation changes with every ball. When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds of winning immediately lengthen. A six or a four shortens those odds. If the run rate is high during the powerplay, the odds on target markets also shift.
In an ODI or Test, if a big partnership is building in the middle overs, the odds on the "over" option in the total runs market gradually shorten. This is a signal for in-play bettors. Keep in mind though — the result can change at any moment in a match, so in-play betting can carry high risk.

Multi Bet — Multiple Selections Together
A multi bet combines the results of several matches or markets into one bet. Because the odds multiply, the potential return is larger — but if any one selection loses, the entire bet is lost.
Multi Bet Example (3 Selections)
Betting on the match winner of three separate matches together, suppose the odds are 1.50 × 1.70 × 1.90 = 4.84 (rounded).
A ৳100 bet could return ৳484 — but only if all three selections are correct.
If one selection is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
Start with fewer selections
Start with a two-selection multi bet. Adding three or four selections increases the risk quickly.
Avoid mixed markets
Putting two related markets from the same match (e.g. match winner and top batsman) into the same multi makes the outcomes dependent on each other.
A Few Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is for entertainment — keeping that mindset leads to a better experience.
Set a budget first
Decide how much you will bet in each session before you start. Do not go beyond that limit even if you lose. You can find the responsible gaming guide on the tk10 site.
Choose markets based on the format
In T20, fast-changing markets (such as runs per over) are more suitable. In Test cricket, choose session- or day-based markets.
Compare odds
Look at the odds across different markets for the same match side by side. Recognising whether a particular market is offering relatively better odds takes practice.
No rushing in live betting
Odds change quickly in-play. Keep a clear head rather than acting on impulse. If you feel pressure to bet fast, stop.
Use VIP benefits
If you play regularly, you can join the tk10 VIP programme and receive weekly cashback. There are five tiers from Bronze to Diamond.
