ok tk Cricket Betting — Complete Guide to Betting on T20, ODI and Test
From BPL and IPL to the T20 World Cup — ok tk lets you bet on every format of cricket. Join a wide range of markets from match winner, toss and top batsman to live in-play.
Three Cricket Formats and Favourite Tournaments
Cricket holds a special place for fans in Bangladesh. Each of the three formats has its own pace and appeal.
T20 Cricket
With only 20 overs, the game moves fast. In tournaments like BPL and IPL, the betting situation can change with every over. T20 is the most popular format for live betting.
ODI Cricket
Strategy matters more in a 50-over match. ODI markets in ICC World Cup and bilateral series are wide-ranging — from innings scores to individual player performance.
Test Cricket
In this five-day format, the result depends on many factors. Wickets falling, weather or pitch conditions — all of these affect the odds. Test cricket offers a different kind of experience for patient bettors.
BPL, IPL and International Cricket
The excitement the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) generates each season has to be seen to be believed. Being a franchise-based T20 league, every match is a closely contested affair. India's IPL is equally popular among Bangladeshi fans — it is a chance to see the world's best players all in one place.
In international tournaments like the T20 World Cup and the ICC Champions Trophy, you can follow the Tigers and keep an eye on the match markets at ok tk.
Betting on Football and Other Sports
ok tk is not limited to cricket. Betting is available on international football and other sports as well.
Football vs Cricket — Differences in Betting
In cricket, three outcomes are possible — Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw (in Test). T20 and ODI have no draw, so the market is simpler. In football, a draw is always a real possibility, which gives the market a different structure.
In cricket, over-by-over score changes affect live odds quickly. In football, goals are often separated by long stretches with no score, so odds move more slowly. Understanding this difference makes both sports more interesting to bet on.
At ok tk, cricket, football and other sports markets are all available together in the ok tk Bet section.
7 Popular Cricket Betting Markets
Each market has its own way of betting. Below are the most commonly used markets explained in plain terms.
Match Winner
Bet on which team will win the match. Example: Team A vs Team B — you bet on Team B and if Team B wins, you win.
Toss Winner
Settled before the match begins — which team will win the toss. The toss carries a lot of weight in cricket, which is why this market gets plenty of attention.
Top Batsman
Which batsman will score the most runs in the match — either as the best in their team or the best overall. Odds start shifting from the very beginning of the innings.
Total Runs Over/Under
Whether the total runs scored will be above or below a set number — for example, whether the first innings will go above 160. Odds change based on wickets and pitch conditions.
Multi Bet
You can combine multiple matches or selections into a single bet at the same time. If all selections are correct, the return increases many times over. See the multi bet page for details.
Top Wicket-Taker
Which bowler will take the most wickets in a match or innings. Pitch conditions and weather play a big role in this market.
First Wicket Partnership
Whether the opening pair will put on more than a set number of runs — for example, more than 30. This market is usually settled quickly at the start of an innings.
How to Read Odds in Three Formats
The same odds can be written in decimal, fractional or American format. ok tk generally uses the decimal format.
Three Ways to Show the Same Price
Say odds are given on Team A winning. The same odds can be written three ways — decimal 2.25, fractional 5/4, American +125.
With a ৳200 bet, a win returns a total of ৳450 — of which ৳250 is profit and the original ৳200 stake is included. A loss means the full ৳200 is gone.
The favourite has lower odds — for Team B winning, decimal 1.50, fractional 1/2, American -200. Here a ৳200 bet returns only ৳300 (৳100 profit). A negative American odds number means how much you need to stake to win ৳100.
| Format | Team A (Underdog) | Team B (Favourite) | Return on ৳200 Bet |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.50 | Team A: ৳450 / Team B: ৳300 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 1/2 | Same calculation, just written differently |
| American | +125 | -200 | + means profit on ৳100; – means stake required |
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Over by Over
Live betting is one of the most engaging aspects of cricket. After the match starts, odds keep changing after every wicket, every big shot and at the end of every over.
Say Team A has scored only 25 runs in the first 5 overs and has lost 2 wickets. In this situation, the odds on Team A winning will increase significantly — meaning a bet on them offers a higher potential return but also carries more risk. On the other hand, after three sixes in a row, the favourite's odds will come down.
Live markets include things like the score at the end of the powerplay, runs in a specific over, and when the next wicket will fall. Betting during a match means being able to read how the game is unfolding.

A Few Things to Keep in Mind Before You Start
Cricket betting is entertainment. Keeping a few basic things in mind makes for a better experience.
- Choose markets based on the format. A powerplay score market makes sense in T20, but session-based markets are more relevant in Test cricket.
- Learn to read odds. Decimal odds are the easiest — just multiply your stake to calculate the total return.
- Be careful with multi bets. Combining multiple selections increases the potential return, but one wrong pick and you lose everything. Read how multi bet works before placing one.
- Set a budget. Decide in advance how much you will bet each day and stay within that limit. Betting is for entertainment — not a source of income.
- Keep a clear head during live betting. When odds shift fast, take a moment to assess the situation rather than rushing in.
- Know the terms and conditions. Reading the terms and conditions before placing a bet will save you confusion later.
