dk games Cricket Betting — From BPL to T20 World Cup
Bet on Bangladesh's most popular sport — this is dk games' complete guide to cricket betting, covering match winner, toss, top batsman, and live betting.
The Three Cricket Formats and Popular Tournaments
Understanding format differences matters in cricket betting because the types of markets vary. T20 matches finish within a few hours, making markets like total runs, powerplay runs, and match winner most active. In ODI matches, the full 50-over span makes top batsman and top bowler markets popular. Test cricket adds another dimension with innings-by-innings runs, the possibility of a draw, and a five-day timeframe.
BPL and IPL are the two most talked-about tournaments among Bangladeshi fans. BPL draws strong interest naturally because local stars play in it. IPL is also popular among bettors for its high-quality teams and international players. Bangladesh's participation in the T20 World Cup and other ICC tournaments as the Bangladesh Tigers adds further interest in betting.
dk games offers markets for all these tournaments, with the option to bet before and during every match.
Betting Differences Between Football and Other Sports
Football is also quite popular in Bangladesh alongside cricket. However, the betting structure of the two sports is quite different. Cricket has a large number of detailed markets based on runs, wickets, and overs. Football typically has markets on number of goals, handicaps, and both teams' scores. A draw is possible in cricket (in Tests), but in T20 and ODI one team generally wins — making those markets simpler.
Handicap betting is popular in football, where the weaker team is given a goal advantage. Cricket also has this type of handicap, but it is expressed in runs. In other sports like kabaddi or wrestling, markets are limited and usually only simple match winner markets are available.
Variety in Sports Betting
Having cricket, football, and other sports markets on one platform is what sets dk games apart. Betting with an understanding of each sport's characteristics makes for a better experience.
Popular Cricket Betting Markets
Match Winner
Most CommonThe simplest market — pick which of the two teams will win. For example, if you bet on Team A in a Team A vs Team B match, you win if Team A wins.
Toss Winner
Quick ResultYou can bet on the toss result before the match starts. Since the toss plays an important role in cricket, this market is quite active.
Top Batsman
Test of SkillBet on which batsman will score the most runs — for a specific team or overall. You predict which player will be the top scorer for Team A.
Total Runs Over/Under
Runs-BasedBet on whether the total runs will be above or below a set number. For example, whether the first innings will exceed 160 runs — this type of market is seen most often in T20.
Powerplay Runs
Opening OversYou can bet on how many runs the batting team will score in the first six overs. The core of this market is predicting whether the start will be strong or weak.
Multi Bet
Multiple BetsCombine markets from multiple matches into one bet and the odds multiply. For example, three matches with odds of 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.90 = roughly 3.99, so a ৳100 stake could return ৳399 — but all three bets must win.
Understanding Decimal, Fractional and American Odds
A betting platform may display odds in three different formats. They all convey the same information — only the way they are written differs. dk games generally uses the decimal format, but it helps to recognise the others.
| Odds Format | Team A Example | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | Total return of ৳3 for every ৳1 staked (including profit) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked, plus the original stake back |
| American | +200 | ৳200 profit possible on a ৳100 stake |
Example 1 (Team A not heavily favoured): To back Team A, decimal odds are 3.00, fractional 2/1, American +200. A ৳200 stake returns a total of ৳600 if Team A wins (৳400 profit plus ৳200 original stake). If Team A loses, you lose ৳200.
Example 2 (Favourite team): A favourite like Team B might have odds of decimal 1.80, fractional 4/5, American -125 — the American minus odds mean you need to stake ৳125 to win ৳100. A ৳200 stake returns a total of ৳360 if Team B wins (৳160 profit).
In the same match, if Team A is priced at 1.45 and Team B at 2.75 in the cricket winner market, a ৳500 stake on Team B returns a total of ৳1,375 if Team B wins (৳875 profit). If Team A wins, you lose ৳500.
How Odds Work
The lower the odds, the more likely the platform considers that outcome to be. In practice, any result is possible in cricket — that is what makes sport enjoyable.
- Decimal format is the easiest to calculate
- Fractional is more common in the UK
- American (+/-) is used in US markets
Live Odds Shift When Wickets Fall
Live or in-play betting refers to markets that stay open while the match is in progress. In cricket, the situation changes after every ball — a wicket raises the batting team's odds, a big over brings them down. On dk games, these changes are reflected in the live betting markets as you watch.
The run rate at the end of each over affects run bets. For example, if Team A scores 70 runs in the first ten overs, the over/under odds for their total innings runs will naturally shift. Once powerplay fielding restrictions lift, the bowling side may gain an advantage and the odds will reflect that too.
Live betting requires quick decisions. Markets may close for a few seconds at key moments such as a DRS review or an innings break. It is best to plan with this normal occurrence in mind.
For those interested in fast-paced games beyond cricket, the Aviator crash game is also available on dk games, where real-time decisions are everything.
Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is for entertainment — keeping the following points in mind will make the experience more organised.
- Bet according to the format: T20 and Test cricket differ in pace and market type. Powerplay matters in T20; pitch conditions matter in Test.
- Do not place too many bets at once: Multi bets may offer higher potential returns, but winning all selections together is difficult. Think through each bet individually.
- Set a budget: Decide in advance how much you are willing to spend. Staying within that limit is the sensible approach.
- No rushing in live betting: Odds change fast, which can create pressure to decide instantly — but it is better to understand the situation before placing a bet.
- Use the dk games cricket deposit bonus: When you deposit with the intention of betting on cricket markets, a dk games cricket deposit special bonus is available once per week — 40%, up to ৳8,000, 15x wagering.
