dk gam Cricket Betting — T20, BPL and International Match Betting Complete Guide
dk gam is a familiar name among cricket fans in Bangladesh. This page covers in detail how to bet on every format — from T20 to Test, BPL to T20 World Cup — which markets are played the most, and how live in-play betting works.
Cricket Formats and Competitions
In Bangladesh cricket is more than a sport — it is a passion. As fans support the Tigers in every T20 match, many are now showing interest in cricket betting too. dk gam offers betting on three main formats.
T20 is the fastest format — a match is completed in just 20 overs. It is the most popular format for betting because results come quickly and the situation can change every over. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL (Indian Premier League) are both played in T20 format and are very familiar to Bangladeshi viewers.
ODI, or One Day International, has 50 overs. Strategy plays a bigger role here, and mid-match statistics — such as run rate or partnerships — keep the betting markets active.
Test cricket is a long five-day contest. A draw is a valid result here, so you can bet on three outcomes: Team A wins, Team B wins, or the match is drawn. These markets are also available for ICC international Test series and T20 World Cup matches.
BPL and IPL Betting
During the BPL season, local team matches are the most talked-about among bettors in Bangladesh. IPL also draws huge interest from Bangladeshi fans. At dk gam you can bet on various markets across matches in both competitions.
International Tournaments
ICC international tournaments — such as the T20 World Cup and the ODI World Cup — are the biggest occasions for cricket betting. These matches come with more markets and more betting options.
Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, football is the second most popular sport in Bangladesh. However, there are some key differences between the two from a betting perspective.
A football match has three possible outcomes: the home team wins, the away team wins, or a draw. This three-way market does not exist in T20 or ODI cricket — draws do not happen there, so you only choose between two teams. Test cricket is the exception.
Handicap betting and over/under goal markets are very common in football. The cricket equivalent is the run total — whether the total runs in an innings will be above or below a set number. The formats differ but the core principle is the same in both: make decisions based on understanding the statistics.
At dk gam you can also bet on tennis, badminton and other international sports beyond cricket and football. Those who enjoy different types of games can also try the casino games at dk gam Casino.
Popular Betting Markets
Cricket betting offers a variety of markets. Below is a brief overview of seven main markets and how to bet on each.
Match Winner
This market is simply about which of the two teams will win. Say it is Team A vs Team B — if you pick Team B and Team B wins, your bet is successful.
Most CommonToss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result is entirely random, so odds are usually roughly equal for both teams.
Low RiskTop Batsman
This market is about who will score the most runs in a specific innings or across the whole match. You can choose from a number of player options.
Expert PickTotal Runs Over/Under
Whether the total runs in an innings or across the full match will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. For example: will total runs exceed 170?
Statistics-BasedFirst Wicket Timing
A bet on which over the first wicket will fall in. If you have a feel for how the start of an innings will go, this is an interesting market.
Popular In-PlayMulti Bet
Placing bets on multiple markets across multiple matches on a single slip. If all selections are correct, the odds multiply and the return can be much higher — but if even one is wrong, the entire stake is lost.
High PotentialPowerplay Runs
This market covers which team will score more runs, or what the total runs will be, during the first 6 overs (the powerplay). It draws particular interest in T20 and ODI betting.
Popular in T20How to Read Odds
There is no need to be confused by odds. There are three main formats — decimal, fractional and American. Of these, decimal odds are the easiest to understand and the most widely used in Bangladesh.
Worked Example 1 — The same odds in three formats:
Say you are betting on Team A to win with a stake of ৳500. Decimal odds of 3.00 means your total return if you win is ৳1,500 (৳1,000 profit + ৳500 original stake). In fractional format this is written as 2/1 and in American format as +200. If you lose, the ৳500 is gone.
Worked Example 2 — Odds on the favourite:
Team B is the favourite with decimal odds of 1.25. A ৳500 bet returns ৳625 if it wins (profit of only ৳125). In fractional format this is 1/4, and in American format -400 — the minus sign means you need to stake ৳400 to make ৳100 profit.
| Format | Team A (example) | Team B (favourite) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | 1.25 |
| Fractional | 2/1 | 1/4 |
| American | +200 | -400 |
| Return on ৳500 stake | ৳1,500 | ৳625 |
| Profit | ৳1,000 | ৳125 |
Team names are fictional — these are examples only, not the odds for any specific match. Odds change based on time and circumstances.
Live In-Play Betting
Live in-play betting means placing bets while a match is in progress. It differs from standard pre-match betting because the odds change with every ball.
What happens when a wicket falls? When the batting team loses a wicket, their chances of winning decrease — so their odds rise and the bowling team's odds fall. This change is reflected in the market immediately.
What happens as overs run out? If the batting team needs 30 runs off the last over, that is very difficult, and their odds rise sharply. But if the same situation occurs with 10 overs remaining, the odds may be much closer.
Live betting requires quick decisions. Odds can change within seconds. Watching the match closely while placing bets is the most effective approach here.

Some Useful Tips for Betting
Cricket betting is a form of entertainment — winning and losing are both normal. The tips below can help make your experience more disciplined.
- Set a budget in advance: Decide how much you want to stake beforehand. Avoid spending more than the amount you have set.
- Start with one market: If you are a new bettor, focus on the Match Winner market to begin with — it is straightforward and easy to understand.
- Understand pitch and conditions: The type of pitch, the weather and a team's recent form all influence the match result.
- Be careful with multi bets: Adding more selections increases the potential return but also the risk. If all selections are not correct, the entire stake is lost.
- Stay calm in live betting: Just because odds change fast does not mean you should rush your decisions.
- Play responsibly: Betting is for entertainment — increasing your stake in an attempt to recover losses is not a good idea. Read the Responsible Gaming page for more details.
