Cricket betting at kfb — bet on every match from BPL to the T20 World Cup
Bangladesh's most popular sport is now closer than ever — kfb lets you bet on BPL, IPL and international cricket in T20, ODI and Test formats across a wide range of markets. From match winner to live in-play betting, everything is in one place.
Cricket Formats and Tournaments
Cricket in Bangladesh is more than a sport — it is a feeling. From the alleys of Dhaka to the stadium, cricket is everywhere. kfb channels that passion by offering betting across three main formats.
T20: The fastest format, where every ball counts. BPL is a major annual celebration for Bangladeshi cricket fans. IPL and the T20 World Cup are also played in this format. Results in T20 can swing within just a few overs, which makes live betting especially engaging.
ODI: Fifty-over matches combine strategy and patience. Bangladesh Tigers have been consistently competitive in this format. The ICC World Cup is played in ODI format, so betting markets tend to be more active during that period.
Test: Five-day matches where a draw is a valid result. Knowing batting statistics and pitch behaviour makes Test markets easier to read. Test betting markets differ from ODI or T20 because a draw is also a betting option.
Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, football is a major section at kfb. Interest among Bangladeshi users in betting on the English Premier League, La Liga and international matches is notable.
One key difference between cricket and football betting is the number of possible results. In T20 or ODI cricket only one of the two teams can win — a draw is not possible. In football three results are possible: Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw. This is why football features a three-way market and the overall odds structure is different.
kfb also offers betting on Kabaddi, Badminton and Tennis. Those interested in esports betting can find full details on the kfb Esports Betting page, where markets are available on CS2, Valorant and many other titles.
Popular Betting Markets
Cricket betting is not just about "who will win" — there are many types of markets that make each match more interesting. Below is an introduction to seven popular markets.
Match Winner
Bet on which of the two teams will win. T20 or ODI offers only two options, making it an easy market to start with.
T20 ODIToss
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result is decided quickly and the odds are usually close to even.
Any FormatTop Batsman
Bet on which batter will score the most runs in the match. You can use statistics to guide your decision.
ODI TestTotal Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the total runs will be more (over) or less (under) than a set number. For example, "will the first innings exceed 160 runs?"
T20 ODITop Bowler
Bet on which bowler will take the most wickets. You can judge between fast bowlers and spinners based on the type of pitch.
Test ODIMulti Bet
Combine selections from multiple matches into a single bet. If all selections are correct the total return is much higher, but a single wrong selection loses the entire bet.
Multiple EventsHandicap Betting
One team is given a virtual advantage or disadvantage to level the bet. If a stronger team starts slightly behind, backing the weaker team can become more reasonable. No specific stake or return example is given for handicap — just keep the margin in mind to understand the outcome.
Man of the Match
Bet on which player will deliver the best performance in the match. This market usually carries higher odds because you are picking one from many options.
How Odds Work
Betting odds are written in three common formats: Decimal, Fractional and American. All three convey the same information — only the way they are expressed differs. The examples below explain all three formats together.
| Format | Team A wins | Team B wins (Favourite) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.25 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 1/4 |
| American | +150 | -400 |
Example 1 — Team A (Underdog): Suppose Team A's odds to win are 2.50 decimal, 3/2 fractional, +150 American. A ৳500 stake returns a total of ৳1,250 if Team A wins (৳750 profit + ৳500 original stake). If Team A loses, you lose ৳500.
Example 2 — Team B (Favourite): Team B's odds to win are 1.25 decimal, 1/4 fractional, −400 American (American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100 in profit). A ৳500 stake returns ৳625 if Team B wins (৳125 profit).
The lower the odds, the more a team is favoured — meaning a higher chance of winning but a lower return. The higher the odds, the lower the chance of winning but the higher the return if successful. Betting is purely for entertainment — it should never be treated as a reliable source of income.
Multi Bet Example
Selections across three separate matches: decimal 1.40, 1.50 and 1.90
Total odds: 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.90 = 3.99 (approximately)
A ৳100 stake returns ৳399 if all three are correct
Remember: if even one selection is wrong you lose the full ৳100. Multi bets offer higher potential returns but also carry higher risk.
Live In-Play Betting — Bet During the Match
Live in-play betting is especially suited to cricket because the match situation changes after every wicket, every over and every boundary, and the odds update accordingly.
Say a T20 match has the first team at 70 runs for 3 wickets after 10 overs. The live betting odds at that point will differ from the pre-match odds. If two more quick wickets fall in the next 5 overs, the team's odds to win will shift again. This way you can assess the situation ball by ball and place live bets.
In ODI live betting, short-term markets may also be available — such as "which team will score more runs in the first 30 overs" or "will the next over be a maiden." In Test matches, after the day's play ends, betting opportunities open up around pitch conditions and what might happen in the next session.
Live betting requires quick decisions — odds can change within seconds. It is best practice to bet with a clear head and within a set budget.
Some Practical Tips Before You Start Betting
-
Set a budget in advance
Decide how much you will set aside each week or month. Stay within that limit — and avoid placing more bets in an attempt to recover losses.
-
Understand one market well
Start by gaining experience in straightforward markets like match winner or total runs. Focusing on a few markets is more effective than jumping into all of them at once.
-
Choose markets that suit the format
In T20, short-term markets such as powerplay runs or number of sixes are relevant. In Test cricket, markets on day's runs or session wickets are more appropriate.
-
Be careful with multi bets
The potential return on a multi bet can look attractive, but one wrong selection means losing the whole stake. Multi bets with fewer selections are comparatively less risky.
-
Play responsibly
Betting is purely for entertainment — not as a way to earn income. Read the responsible gaming policy and use kfb's limit-setting features if needed.
-
Check out the poker or casino section too
Alongside sports betting, kfb Casino has live casino, slots and many other sections. You can try other sections from time to time for variety.
