11kk Cricket Betting — Complete Guide to BPL, IPL and T20 Matches
Place bets on every cricket format, check live odds and understand markets — all explained clearly in plain language.
Understanding Cricket Formats and Tournaments
Cricket fans in Bangladesh are most familiar with three formats — T20, ODI and Test. Betting works differently in each format because match length and scoring pace vary.
T20: The fastest format — matches finish in just 20 overs. Odds move quickly because a single big over can change the course of the match. BPL and IPL are the most popular tournaments in this format. Excitement among cricket fans peaks during the T20 World Cup.
ODI: In a fifty-over match, team strategies are more complex. Mid-match odds shift gradually, which gives you more time to follow live betting carefully.
Test: A five-day match. A draw is a valid result, so there are three betting options — Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw. Following the flow of the match patiently helps you understand the betting markets better.
During the BPL season, cricket talk fills every corner of the country, from stadiums in Dhaka to the rest of Bangladesh. Betting markets for all these matches are active on 11kk, where Bangladesh Tigers supporters can also place bets on their favourite team.
Football and other sports are also available on 11kk and are covered in a separate section. However, the main focus of this page is cricket, as it is the most followed sport in Bangladesh.
Betting on Live Matches
During a live match, odds change with every over. Paying attention at the right moment opens up new markets across all formats.
Football and Other Sports — How They Differ from Cricket
Multi-Sports Betting
Alongside cricket, markets for football, tennis and other sports are also available on 11kk.
Football is also quite popular in Bangladesh alongside cricket. However, there are clear differences between the two sports from a betting perspective.
In football, there are generally three possible match outcomes — home win, away win or draw. T20 and ODI cricket have no draw, while a draw is only possible in Test matches. Because goals are fewer in football, a single event can shift the odds significantly; in cricket, wickets or run streaks change things more gradually.
Sports like tennis, basketball or hockey have their own match structures. 11kk has dedicated markets for all these sports, but cricket is the main subject of this page. For details on various betting features, visit the 11kk bet page.
When placing a multi bet, you can combine a cricket selection and a football selection together. Keep in mind that if any one selection loses, the entire multi bet is lost.
Popular Betting Markets Explained
There are many ways to bet on cricket. Below are seven popular markets explained in plain language.
Match Winner
The simplest market — which team will win the match. Two options in T20 or ODI, three in Test. Example: if Team A's odds to win are 2.25, a ৳1,000 bet returns ৳2,250.
SimpleToss Winner
Decide which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result has no connection to the match score — it depends entirely on the coin flip.
Quick ResultTop Batsman
Which batsman will score the most runs for their team? The team's lineup and pitch conditions influence betting in this market.
Team PerformanceTotal Runs Over/Under
Choose whether the total runs in an innings will be more (over) or less (under) than a set number. Pitch pace and weather play an important role here.
Run-BasedTop Wicket Taker
Which bowler will take the most wickets in the match? Track record and pitch conditions are key factors. The bowler's current form can help guide your decision.
Bowling PerformanceMulti Bet
Combine selections from multiple matches — the odds are multiplied together. Example: 1.50 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.59, so a ৳100 bet could return ৳459; however, all three selections must win.
High ReturnHandicap Betting
When there is a clear difference in strength between two teams, the handicap market gives the weaker team a virtual advantage. For example, if Team A is much stronger, Team B might be given a 10-run head start; the bet is settled with that advantage added in. This makes the contest more even on paper and brings the odds closer to equal.
BalancedHow to Read Odds — Three Formats
Odds on betting sites are usually displayed in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three show the same information in different ways.
Example 1 — Same odds in three formats (Team A to win, bet ৳1,000):
If the bet wins, you get back ৳2,250 (৳1,250 profit + original ৳1,000); if it loses, ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite's odds (Team B to win, bet ৳1,000):
Decimal 1.25 means a winning bet returns a total of ৳1,250 (৳250 profit). American minus (-) odds show how much you need to bet to win ৳100 — here, -400 means you must bet ৳400 to win ৳100.

Understanding Odds Formats
Whether you prefer decimal, fractional or American odds, 11kk lets you choose the format you are most comfortable with.
Live Betting — Odds Shift with Wickets and Overs
The ability to place bets after a match has started is called live in-play betting. It differs from standard pre-match betting because the odds change with every event in the match.
An example: if Team A makes a strong start in the first 10 overs, their odds of winning will shorten (meaning they become the favourite). But if two wickets fall in the next two overs, the odds can flip again — Team B may look level or even ahead. Watching these shifts and betting accordingly is what makes live betting engaging.
In over-by-over markets, you can choose whether the runs in each over will be more or less than a set number. Powerplay overs tend to produce more runs, the middle overs slow down, and the death overs speed up again — this pattern is useful for understanding live markets.
Live betting in Test matches covers a longer period. Pitch behaviour changes from day to day, so the odds on day five can be completely different from day one.

In-Play Markets
Odds refresh with every ball and every wicket. Staying attentive during live betting makes the game more engaging.
Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
- Set a budget first: Before you start betting, decide on a weekly or monthly budget and stick to it. Betting is for entertainment — not as a source of income.
- Choose markets based on the format: Total runs or match winner work well in T20; in Tests, consider session-based markets or the draw option too.
- Keep multi bet selections low: More selections increase potential returns, but one loss wipes everything. 2–3 selections are generally easier to manage.
- Do not rush in live betting: Watch how the match is going, then decide. Betting on impulse is the most common cause of losses.
- Take regular breaks: Avoid betting for long stretches without a pause. 11kk offers self-exclusion and limit-setting options.
- Treat the toss market separately: The toss winner market is entirely luck-based — no amount of analysis helps here. Knowing this keeps your expectations realistic.
What is Betting?
Cricket betting is a form of entertainment where you predict various match outcomes. It is not a guaranteed way to make money — every bet carries a risk of loss. Play within your limits and enjoy it.
