Cricket Betting at tk 71 – Place Bets on BPL, IPL and International Matches
Betting on cricket, Bangladesh's most popular sport, is now straightforward. tk 71 brings together various markets, live odds and convenient payment options for T20, ODI and Test matches — all in one platform.
Cricket's Three Formats and Which Competitions Are Most Popular
Understanding the format before betting on cricket is important, because odds are set differently for each format. T20 matches finish in just a few hours, so run rate per over, boundaries and powerplay performance shift the odds rapidly. Bangladesh's BPL and India's IPL are the biggest attractions in this format.
ODI matches have fifty overs per side, so after the first innings the odds change according to the target set for the second innings. The ICC ODI World Cup and Bangladesh Tigers bilateral series fall into this category.
Test matches last five days — a draw is a valid result here, so there is a three-way market (Team A wins / Team B wins / Draw). The T20 World Cup and international women's cricket matches are also available in tk 71's cricket betting section.
The Fast-Paced T20 Format
Tournaments like BPL and IPL are played in T20 format. The momentum of the game can change every over, which makes live betting especially popular.
One-Day International Matches
In this fifty-over format, odds can shift significantly at the innings break. ICC World Cup events and bilateral series are covered here.
Five-Day Test Matches
Because a draw is possible in Tests, there is a three-outcome market. Pitch conditions and the rate of wickets falling have the greatest influence on odds.
How Football Betting Differs from Other Sports
Alongside cricket, football is also a favourite among bettors in Bangladesh. However, the nature of betting differs between the two sports. In football, a match ends in 90 minutes and if it is drawn in regular time, "Draw" is recorded as the result. In cricket, there is a possibility of the match being abandoned due to rain or bad light, so bookmakers apply separate rules for rain-affected matches.
The most popular markets in football are Match Winner (1X2), Asian Handicap and Goals Over/Under. In cricket, their equivalents are Match Winner, Top Batsman and Total Runs Over/Under. At tk 71, both cricket and football sports betting can be enjoyed from the same account.
With handicap markets, understanding the outcome is enough without calculating a specific stake or return — for example, if Team A plays with a -1.5 handicap, they need to win by more than one run for the bet to win. This creates an opportunity to bet against a stronger team.
The Popular Markets in Cricket Betting
Each market has its own characteristics. Below is a simple introduction to seven common markets.
| Market | How It Works | Example (in plain terms) |
|---|---|---|
| Match Winner | A bet on which team will win the match. | If you pick Team A, you win if Team A wins and lose the bet if they lose. |
| Toss Winner | Which team will win the toss. | Roughly a 50/50 chance, but the odds are slightly lower. |
| Top Batsman | Which player will score the most runs in the match. | You pick one from 5–7 batters in the team, so the odds are higher. |
| Total Runs Over/Under | Whether the total runs scored will be above or below a set line. | If the line is 155 — Over wins at 156+ runs, Under wins at 154 or fewer. |
| Over of First Wicket | In which over the first wicket will fall. | Whether a wicket will fall during the powerplay — pitch type plays a big role here. |
| Multi Bet | Multiple selections combined — if all win, you receive a payout at the combined odds. | If three selections have odds of 1.40, 1.60 and 1.70, the combined odds are 3.81 — a ৳100 bet returns ৳381, but if any one selection loses the entire bet is lost. |
| Man of the Match | Who will be named Man of the Match. | It usually goes to the batter or bowler who delivers the most influential performance. |
Decimal, Fractional and American Odds — What Is the Difference?
The odds for the same match can be written in three different formats. Knowing which one is being used makes it easier to keep track of your potential return.
Example 1 — Team A to Win (Stake ৳200)
The same price is written in three formats:
If the bet wins, you receive ৳500 back (৳300 profit + original ৳200 stake). If the bet loses, ৳200 is gone.
Decimal odds show the total return including the stake (2.50 × ৳200 = ৳500). Fractional odds show only the profit (৳300 profit on ৳200 means 3/2). American plus (+) odds mean how much profit you make on a ৳100 bet.
Example 2 — Favourite Team B to Win (Stake ৳200)
The favourite's odds are lower:
A ৳200 bet returns ৳360 in total (৳160 profit).
American minus (-) odds show how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit. Here, -125 means you stake ৳125 to win ৳100. Picking the favourite may seem straightforward but the return is lower.
Live In-Play Betting — What Happens When a Wicket Falls?
The defining feature of live cricket betting is that odds change as events unfold on the field. Suppose Team A is batting and two wickets fall in the very first over — at that moment Team A's odds of winning will lengthen (meaning Team B's odds will shorten). Someone who bets on Team A at that point has a chance of a higher return — but the risk is also greater.
In the same way, sixes during the powerplay or play stopping due to rain can cause odds to shift sharply. In an ODI match, once the target is set at the innings break, the second innings market reopens — this is a little easier for newer bettors because a lot of information is available by then.
Live betting is easiest on mobile. Using the tk 71 app, you can place bets while watching the match on the go.
Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
To enjoy betting as entertainment, it helps to build a few simple habits.
Start with One Format
Odds behave differently in T20, ODI and Test cricket. Focus on one format first, then gradually learn the others.
Set a Budget
Decide how much you are willing to spend before each session. Reading the responsible gaming guidelines will give you a clearer idea of budget management.
Understand the Market Before Betting
Instead of staking large amounts on unfamiliar markets, gain experience with small bets first.
Be Careful with Multi Bets
Even though the combined odds are higher, losing just one selection means the entire bet is lost. It is better not to include more than two selections when starting out.
Keep Pitch and Weather in Mind
The chance of rain or a spin-friendly pitch can have a big impact on total runs and wickets markets.
No Rushing in Live Betting
Odds move fast in live betting. Make decisions calmly rather than on impulse.
