Cricket Formats and Popular Tournaments
Cricket's three main formats – T20, ODI and Test – each offer a different betting experience. You can bet on all three formats at bk8 999, so it helps to understand what each one involves before you start.
| Format | Duration | Betting Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| T20 | 20 overs per side, typically 3–4 hours | Fast results; odds change quickly in live markets; BPL and IPL are played in this format |
| ODI | 50 overs per side, all day | Medium-paced match; more opportunity to place live bets by reading mid-match statistics |
| Test | Up to 5 days | Long match; understanding pitch and weather conditions is important; session-based markets are available |
BPL – Bangladesh Premier League
Bangladesh's domestic T20 competition, the BPL, generates a lot of excitement among Tigers fans every year. With a mix of local and overseas cricketers, each match is competitive and multiple markets are open.
IPL – Indian Premier League
India's IPL is one of the most-watched T20 tournaments in the world. During the IPL season at bk8 999, a variety of markets are available for every match – from match winner to over-by-over runs.
International Cricket
You can bet on matches featuring the Bangladesh Tigers and other teams in the T20 World Cup, ICC Champions Trophy and bilateral series. International matches generally have the most markets available.
Betting on Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, bk8 999 also offers betting on football, tennis, badminton and more. Football betting works a little differently from cricket – in football, a draw is a separate result (the 1X2 market), whereas in T20 or ODI there is generally no draw.
Handicap markets are very common in football, where the weaker team is given a notional goal advantage to level the bet. The equivalent in cricket is the run-line market.
Full details of football, tennis and other sports events and markets beyond cricket can be found on the bk8 999 Sports Events page.
Popular Markets in Cricket
At bk8 999, several markets are open at the same time for a single cricket match. Below are some of the most commonly used markets explained.
Match Winner
A bet on which team will win the match. For example, if you bet on Team A to win, you only get a return if Team A wins.
Simplest marketToss Winner
Predicting which team will win the toss before the match starts. This is a completely separate market – it has no connection to the match result.
Quick resultTop Batsman
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs in an innings. If you can correctly identify the leading run-scorer in the team, there is a chance of a good return.
Potential for high returnTotal Runs Over/Under
Whether the total runs in the match will be more (over) or less (under) than a set number. For example, if the line is set at 320 runs, you predict whether the total will be above or below 320.
Knowing the pitch helpsMulti Bet
Multiple markets are combined into one bet. If all selections are correct, the odds are multiplied together and the return increases – but if any single selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Higher risk, higher returnTop Wicket Taker
A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in an innings. Many people choose this market by considering whether the pitch suits pace or spin bowling.
Bowling-focused marketHow to Read Odds
At bk8 999 you will see three types of odds formats – Decimal, Fractional and American. They all show the same information in different ways. Two practical examples are explained below.
Example 1 – Odds on Team A to Win
Say the odds on Team A to win are: 3.00 (Decimal) = 2/1 (Fractional) = +200 (American).
On a ৳1,000 stake, if Team A wins you get back a total of ৳3,000 (৳2,000 profit + ৳1,000 original stake). If Team A loses, the ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 – Odds on Favourite Team B
If Team B is the favourite, the odds might be: 1.80 (Decimal) = 4/5 (Fractional) = -125 (American).
American minus odds show how much you need to stake to make a profit of 100. On a ৳1,000 stake, if Team B wins the total return is ৳1,800 (৳800 profit).
Decimal format is the easiest – odds × stake = total return. The other two formats show the same calculation in a different way.
Live Betting – The Appeal of Betting While the Match Is On
Live or in-play betting means placing bets after the match has already started. At bk8 999, during a T20 match the odds are automatically updated after each over.
For example: if Team A is 120 for 3 after 15 overs, the odds on Team A in the match winner market will look different from what they were before the match started. When a wicket falls, the bowling side's odds shorten; when a big shot is hit, the batting side's odds shorten. Reading these changes and placing bets accordingly is what makes live betting interesting.
Odds move very quickly in live betting, so decisions need to be made fast. In Test cricket, live markets change more slowly because the pace of play within a session is relatively steady.
Some Useful Tips Before You Start Betting
- Set a budget first. Decide how much money you want to set aside for entertainment before you start. Betting is purely for entertainment – it should not be thought of as a source of income.
- Learn one market well. Rather than jumping into many markets at once, start with a straightforward one like match winner.
- Think in terms of format. In T20, the last 5 overs can change the course of the game; in ODI, the powerplay and middle overs each have their own patterns.
- Be careful with multi bets. Combining multiple markets increases potential returns, but losing any one of them means losing everything. For beginners, it is better to start with fewer selections.
- Play responsibly. If betting starts to cause stress rather than enjoyment, read the responsible gaming guide.
