Cricket betting at dkvip — the best betting experience across T20, ODI and Test formats
BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup and ICC Test Championship — dkvip offers detailed markets, live in-play options and easy payment methods for all major tournaments.
Cricket's three formats and popular tournaments
T20 — The Fast Game
In T20 cricket the match can turn on any over. A big six or a quick wicket can shift the odds dramatically. BPL and IPL are the two leagues most familiar to Bangladeshi fans. The T20 World Cup brings its own excitement every time, as every nation's Tigers give their best.
ODI — A Test of Strategy
In a fifty-over one-day match, teams need to plan across the full innings. Different approaches for the powerplay, middle overs and final ten overs make the betting markets more varied. ODI betting is very popular during the ICC Cricket World Cup and bilateral series.
Test — A Battle of Patience
In a five-day Test match, pitch conditions, weather and surface behaviour add a different dimension to betting. The ICC Test Championship points system has made Test cricket more relevant than ever.
Football and other sports betting
Alongside cricket, football betting is also available at dkvip. In football, the result is decided in ninety minutes and a draw is a common outcome, so there are always three core markets — Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw. In cricket, limited-overs matches generally have two possible outcomes, so the prices for each side naturally differ.
In football you can find markets like top scorer, number of corners or half-time score. Cricket, on the other hand, has its own unique markets such as top wicket-taker, maiden overs or partnership runs — this variety is what makes the betting experience in each sport distinct.
There are also opportunities in other sports like Kabaddi, tennis and badminton. Cricket betting is the most familiar among Bangladeshi users, though, because every moment of a match feels personal.
Cricket vs football betting — a quick comparison
- Cricket typically has two outcomes; football has three (win, loss, draw)
- In cricket, live odds can change with every ball
- Handicap betting is more common in football
- Individual performance markets are more extensive in cricket
- Multi bets are possible in both sports
Popular betting markets and examples
Match Winner
The simplest market — which team will win the match? When Team A and Team B face each other in a T20, you can bet on either side. If Team B wins, everyone who backed Team B collects their return.
Core MarketToss Winner
You can bet on the outcome of the toss before the match starts. With only two possibilities (Team A or Team B), the odds are usually roughly equal. This is a separate opportunity outside the main match bet.
Quick MarketTop Batsman
You can bet on which batter will score the most runs in an innings or across the whole match. If the batter you chose ends up as the highest run-scorer in their team, your bet wins.
Personal PerformanceTotal Runs Over/Under
A specific run line is set — for example 160 runs. You bet on whether the total runs scored in the innings will be above that line (over) or below it (under). Wickets and pitch conditions directly affect this bet.
Runs-Based MarketMulti Bet
You can combine multiple matches or markets into a single multi bet. If all your selections are correct the return is much higher, but one wrong selection means the entire bet is lost — so the risk is also higher.
Multiple SelectionsBetting Exchange
A back bet means betting in favour of an outcome; a lay bet means betting against it. On an exchange you can also take the role of the bookmaker. It is a bit more complex but popular among experienced bettors.
Exchange MarketHow to read odds
Odds are written in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three convey the same information; only the way they are written differs.
| Format | If Team A wins (Example 1) | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Stake × 2.50 = total return |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳3 profit for every ৳2 staked |
| American | +150 | ৳150 profit on a ৳100 stake |
Example 1 — Underdog price
For Team A to win: decimal odds 2.50, fractional 3/2, American +150. A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳2,500 if Team A wins — ৳1,500 profit plus the ৳1,000 stake back. If Team A loses, you lose ৳1,000.
Example 2 — Favourite price
If Team B is the favourite, the price might be decimal 1.25, fractional 1/4, American -400. American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100. A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,250 if Team B wins (৳250 profit).
Multi bet calculation: If three separate selections have odds of 1.50, 1.60 and 1.80, the combined odds are 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.80 = 4.32 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳432 if all three are correct — but one wrong selection and the full ৳100 is lost.
Live in-play betting — bet while the match is on
Live in-play is one of the most engaging ways to bet on cricket. Once the match starts, every over, every wicket and every big shot shifts the odds in real time.
If the batting side loses two wickets in quick succession, the opposition's odds of winning drop fast — meaning they become the favourite. Placing a bet in the right market at that moment can offer a better return, though the risk is also there.
If a lot of runs are still needed in the final two overs, the batting side's odds lengthen — meaning their win looks less likely. But one big over can change everything.
In live betting you have little time to decide, so it is important to set a budget in advance. See our guide on responsible gaming for more information.
Some useful tips for cricket betting
Set your budget first
Decide how much you are willing to spend on each match before you start. Betting is part of the entertainment — the goal is to enjoy it without going beyond your main budget.
Understand the format before picking a market
Runs-based markets are more common in T20; Test matches carry the possibility of a draw, so the markets differ. Start with the format you know best.
Read the odds properly
Work out the return before placing a bet. Decimal, fractional and American odds all give the same information — understand one well and the others become straightforward.
Be careful with multi bets
Multi bets offer higher returns but carry higher risk. For beginners, starting with one or two selections is a good idea.
Don't rush in live betting
Odds move fast in live betting — waiting a moment to read the situation is more useful than placing a bet in a hurry.
Betting exchange — back and lay
A BACK bet means betting that Team A will win. A LAY bet means betting that Team A will not win — here you are taking the opposite side to another bettor.
If you BACK Team A with ৳1,000 at decimal 2.00 — you win ৳1,000 if Team A wins (before commission); you lose ৳1,000 if they don't.
If you LAY against a bettor staking ৳1,000 at the same odds — you win ৳1,000 if Team A does not win (before commission); you pay ৳1,000 if Team A wins.
