krikey 1 Cricket Betting — Best Betting Experience for BPL, IPL and International Matches
krikey 1 brings detailed T20, ODI and Test markets for cricket fans in Bangladesh. Bet before the match or while live play is on — any time you like, keeping pace with every delivery.
Cricket Formats and Competitions
Cricket is the most popular sport in Bangladesh. Every Tigers match feels like a celebration. At krikey 1, betting markets are open for all three formats — T20, ODI and Test.
T20 is the fastest format — every over brings something new. T20 markets are in highest demand among BPL and IPL fans. During the T20 World Cup season, odds for multiple matches are available at the same time.
ODI matches blend strategy and patience across fifty overs. Run rate, partnerships and middle-over performance all influence betting here.
Test cricket is a five-day test of patience. Innings result, series winner or draw — these long-term markets are uniquely available in Test cricket.
Beyond international matches, krikey 1 offers detailed markets for ICC tournaments — so betting can continue throughout the tournament.
Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, krikey 1 also offers football betting. Football fans in Bangladesh can bet on matches from international leagues and tournaments. A football match ends within 90 minutes and a draw is a recognised result — so unlike cricket, you can choose from three outcomes rather than just two.
In cricket there is no draw (except in Test) — so in limited-overs matches the market is straightforward: Team A wins or Team B wins. This simple two-way structure makes cricket betting a bit more approachable for beginners.
Betting on kabaddi and other sports markets is also available from time to time. However, cricket markets have the highest demand among Bangladeshi users.
Besides betting, krikey 1 also has slots and live casino games. If you prefer casino gaming, visit krikey 1 Casino to explore live table games and slots — or go directly to krikey 1 Slots for details on slot games.
Popular Cricket Betting Markets
Each market needs to be understood separately — because each has its own rules. Below is a brief introduction to seven familiar markets.
Match Winner
Simply which team will win the match. In limited-overs cricket there are two options: Team A or Team B. Example: Team A's odds are 1.65, Team B's are 2.30 — a ৳1,000 bet on Team B returns ৳2,300 if they win.
SimpleToss Winner
Which team will win the toss at the start of the match — this is a completely separate market from the match result. When pitch and weather conditions are factored in, the toss can become quite significant.
Short-termTop Run Scorer
Which batter will score the most runs in the match or innings — you can pick from within one team or across the whole match. Pitch conditions and batting order play a big role here.
Team-basedTotal Runs Over/Under
Will the total runs in the match be more (over) or fewer (under) than a set number — you choose between the two. Pitch behaviour and bowling strength influence this market.
Numbers-basedTop Wicket Taker
Which bowler will take the most wickets — this market is more relevant in Test and ODI cricket, because longer formats give bowling figures more room to change.
Bowler-basedMulti Bet
Multiple matches or markets are combined into a single bet. Example: 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.90 = 3.99 combined odds — a ৳100 bet returns ৳399, but if any one selection loses, the entire bet is void.
Multiple MatchesSeries Winner
Which team will win more matches across the entire series — this is a long-term market. Betting at the start of a series generally gives better odds.
Long-term
How to Read Odds
Odds on a betting site can be displayed in three ways — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same information in different forms.
Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125. If you win, you get back ৳1,125 (৳625 profit + ৳500 stake); if you lose, ৳500 is gone.
Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American -125. American minus odds mean how much stake is needed to win 100. A ৳500 bet returns ৳900 if you win (৳400 profit).
Decimal is the simplest — multiply the stake by the number to get the total return. To learn more about betting rules, it is worth reading the Terms and Conditions.
In-Play Betting During the Match
Live betting markets open once the match begins — and odds change with every ball. This is the most dynamic part of cricket betting.
When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds rise immediately. Big runs in the powerplay put pressure on run-rate markets. When more runs are needed in the last five overs, the bowling team's odds start to drop.
One thing to keep in mind with in-play betting — odds change quickly, so there is less time to decide. Money management is especially important here.
This market gives you the chance to bet based on what is happening over by over — such as how many runs will be scored in the next over, or whether a wicket will fall on the next ball.
Practical Approaches to Betting
Betting is a form of entertainment, not a guaranteed way to make money. The advice below helps keep your betting experience structured.
- Set a budget first. Before each betting session, decide how much money to allocate and stay within that limit — chasing losses with extra bets only makes things worse.
- Understand one market well. Start with the match winner market — it is simple, with just two options. Gain experience before moving to more complex markets like multi bets or in-play.
- Choose markets that suit the format. Total runs or wicket markets are relevant in T20; series winner or innings result work better in Test cricket.
- Do not rush in in-play. Odds change fast in live betting. Decide in advance what situation will prompt you to bet — then place the bet when that situation arises.
- Be careful with multi bets. Even if the combined odds across three selections look attractive, winning all of them is hard — losing one means the whole bet is gone.
- Bet responsibly. Betting is for enjoyment — if you are spending more than you should, take a break. For detailed guidance, read the Responsible Gaming guidelines.
