kb44 Cricket Betting — place bets on BPL, IPL and international matches
From T20 to Test, from toss to top batsman — kb44 offers a range of markets across every cricket format. Live betting, odds analysis and multi bets — all in one place.
Cricket's three formats and the competitions followed most closely
Cricket fans in Bangladesh follow all three formats with equal enthusiasm — each has its own pace, strategy and betting style.
T20 — Fast Cricket
In the T20 format, the result is decided in just 20 overs. The momentum of the match can shift on any ball, so odds move up and down at every moment. The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) and IPL are the two most popular competitions in this format, where top players from home and abroad take the field. The T20 World Cup is also a particular draw for fans in Bangladesh.
ODI — Balanced Cricket
The 50-over one-day format blends strategy with patience as the match progresses. There are far more betting opportunities around run rate in the middle overs, wickets falling during the powerplay, and similar situations. Local fans always have a special enthusiasm for the Bangladesh Tigers' ODI series.
Test — Traditional Cricket
In a five-day Test match, the situation can swing multiple times. The pitch on day one is not the same as on day five — this change creates interesting opportunities in the betting markets. The possibility of a draw also sets it apart from the other two formats.
If you follow football alongside cricket, you will notice that football betting markets work differently — with the option of a draw, there are three possible outcomes to consider. In cricket, T20 and ODI generally have two possible results (one of the two teams wins), while in Test cricket a draw is also a valid outcome. This difference directly affects how odds are set.

The popular 7 betting markets and an explanation of each
You can place bets on these markets before a match starts or while it is in progress. Each market works differently — simple examples are given below.
Match Winner
Choose which of the two teams will win — that is all. Bet on Team A or Team B to win in a T20 or ODI. Example: if you bet on Team A to win, you earn a profit if Team A wins; if they lose, your stake is gone.
Toss Winner
Bet on which team wins the toss before the match starts. The result is known within seconds, making this a quick market. Example: if you think Team B will win the toss, place your bet on them.
Top Batsman
Bet on which player will score the most runs within a specific team. Example: from three batters in Team A, choose who will score the highest.
Total Runs Over/Under
The bookmaker sets a run line — say 320. You bet on whether the total runs will be over 320 or under 320. If wickets are under pressure, the argument favours under; if the pitch is good, the argument favours over.
Multi Bet
Multiple selections are combined into a single bet. If all selections are correct, the return increases many times over — but if even one is wrong, the entire bet is lost. Example: if you pick outcomes across three matches, the odds are multiplied together.
Method of First Wicket
Bet on how the first wicket of the match will fall — bowled, caught, run out, or LBW. This is a specialist market popular with experienced bettors.
Handicap Market
To level the difference in strength between two teams, one team is given a virtual head start or deficit in runs. This creates a competitive betting opportunity in any match. The result is judged not by the raw score but after applying the handicap adjustment.
Decimal, Fractional and American — how to understand three types of odds
The odds for the same outcome in the same match can be written in three different formats. The numbers differ but the meaning is the same. The table below gives two worked examples.
| Outcome | Decimal | Fractional | American | Return on ৳200 stake |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Team A wins | 2.25 | 5/4 | +125 | ৳450 (profit ৳250 + original stake ৳200) |
| Team B wins (favourite) | 1.50 | 1/2 | -200 | ৳300 (profit ৳100 + original stake ৳200) |
Decimal Odds
The simplest format. Multiply the odds figure by your stake to get the total return. If Team A's odds are 2.25, a ৳200 bet returns ৳450. If the bet loses, your ৳200 is gone.
Fractional Odds
This British format writes odds as a fraction. 5/4 means ৳5 profit for every ৳4 staked — total return including the original stake is ৳9. If Team B's odds are 1/2, a ৳200 bet yields ৳100 profit, for a total of ৳300.
American Odds
A '+' sign indicates the underdog and a '−' sign indicates the favourite. +125 means ৳125 profit on a ৳100 bet. −200 means you need to stake ৳200 to make ৳100 profit.
In-play betting while the match is on — odds shift with every wicket and over
Live betting, or in-play betting, lets you place bets while the match is in progress. It is entirely different from bets placed before the match starts — here, the odds can change after every single ball.
Say Team A loses two wickets in the very first over of a T20 match. Team A's win odds will immediately rise (meaning their chance of winning is seen as lower), while Team B's odds will fall. Betting on Team A at this moment could offer a higher potential profit — but the risk is also higher.
Similarly, if 60 runs are needed off the last 5 overs, the run rate is high and the odds in the total runs over/under market will shift. If the bowling side is strong, the odds for under will shorten; if the batting side is in good form, the market will lean towards over.
In-play betting requires quick decisions. Set your budget before placing any bet and remember — cricket betting is for entertainment, not a guaranteed way to make money.
How a multi bet works — combining multiple selections
A multi bet combines three or more selections into a single bet. The odds of each selection are multiplied together, so the total odds become much larger. But if even one selection loses, the entire bet is gone.
As an example: three selections are chosen from three separate matches, with decimal odds of 1.50, 1.60, and 1.80 respectively. Multiplying these three together gives:
1.50 × 1.60 × 1.80 = 4.32
(approximately)
A ৳100 stake returns ৳432 — but only if all three selections are correct.
If any one of them is wrong, the entire ৳100 is lost.
Multi bets offer the appeal of a higher return, but the risk is multiplied as well. Always keep your betting within your means. To learn about responsible gambling guidelines, read the Responsible Gaming policy.
Odds example for a cricket ODI market
In a limited-overs match (T20 or ODI — no draw):
1.45
2.75
Betting ৳1,000 on Team B to win: if Team B wins, the return is ৳2,750 (profit ৳1,750); if Team A wins, your ৳1,000 is gone. This is an example only — not live odds.
Some useful tips for cricket betting
- Understand the format before betting: In T20, the situation can change in a single ball; in Test, there is time to think. Understanding the pace of each format makes it easier to choose the right market.
- Set your budget in advance: Decide how much money you will put into betting before you start. If you lose in one match, avoid placing a larger bet to try to recover that loss.
- Focus on one market: New bettors do well to start with the match winner or total runs market. Rather than betting on every market at once, try to understand one properly first.
- No rushing in live betting: In in-play betting, odds change fast. Make decisions based on the match situation rather than getting carried away by emotion.
- Treat it as entertainment: Cricket betting is a form of fun — it is not a source of income. Stay within your limits and if needed, read the responsible gaming advice.
- Easy access on mobile: kb44 has Android and iOS apps available through official channels. Live betting is even more convenient on mobile.
