Cricket Formats and Competitions
The three international cricket formats — T20, ODI and Test — each have a different character, so the approach to betting differs too. Alongside these, tournaments like BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup generate the most interest among Bangladeshi fans.
T20
Matches in this twenty-over format finish quickly, so results can shift with every over. Leagues like BPL and IPL are played in this format, and betting markets are most active here.
ODI
In the fifty-over one-day format, the pace of play is relatively moderate. The ICC World Cup and bilateral series are played in ODI format. Total runs, partnerships and mid-match markets are popular here.
Test
In five-day Test cricket, a draw is a valid result — so you can bet on three possible outcomes. Odds shift gradually depending on pitch conditions, weather and batting order.
BPL and IPL
BPL is Bangladesh's most talked-about domestic league. IPL is Indian, but Bangladeshi fans follow it closely. All main markets at king1 are open for both leagues.
Football and Other Sports Alongside Cricket
Outside cricket, football is also widely followed in Bangladesh. From Europe's top leagues to international tournaments — football has three possible outcomes (home win, draw, away win), which is slightly different from T20 or ODI cricket where a draw is not normally a result.
Cricket betting covers a much wider range — there are separate markets for every over, every wicket and team run totals. Football is mainly driven by goal-count and match-result markets. The betting approach for the two sports is therefore different.
For those looking for something beyond cricket and football, king1 also has virtual sports betting — where you can bet on computer-generated matches at any time, without depending on real match schedules.
Popular Betting Markets
When betting on cricket at king1, you can choose from several markets. Each has its own type and rules for determining the result — below is a straightforward explanation of seven main markets.
Match Winner
A bet on which of the two teams will win. In T20 and ODI there are only two sides — no draw. Example: if you bet on Team A to win and Team B wins, the bet loses.
Toss Winner
A bet on which team will win the coin toss before the match. There are two equally likely outcomes — it has nothing to do with the decision to bat or field.
Top Batsman
A bet on which batsman within a team will score the most runs. This market may be open before the innings starts or partway through.
Total Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs scored in a match or a specific innings will be above or below a set number. Pitch, weather and team strength all matter here.
Multi Bet (multiple selections on one slip)
Multiple bets from different matches are combined on one slip to create combined odds. Every selection must win — if one loses, the entire stake is lost. Combined odds can be high, but so is the risk.
Man of the Match and Others
Markets such as who will be named Man of the Match, at what score the first wicket will fall, or which powerplay will produce more runs — these special markets are often available for big matches.
How to Read Odds
Betting odds are written in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same information in different ways. The two examples below make the difference clear.
Team A to win, stake ৳500 — odds decimal 2.50 = fractional 3/2 = American +150. If you win, you get back ৳1,250 (৳750 profit + original ৳500); if you lose, ৳500 is gone.
Team B to win — decimal 1.50 = fractional 1/2 = American -200. A negative American number shows how much you need to stake to win ৳100. On a ৳500 bet you get back ৳750 (৳250 profit).
| Format | How It Is Written | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Total return on the stake (including original stake) |
| Fractional | 3/2 | Stake ৳2, profit ৳3 |
| American (+) | +150 | ৳100 stake returns ৳150 profit |
| American (−) | -200 | Stake ৳200 to win ৳100 profit |
king1 generally displays odds in decimal format, which is the easiest to calculate. Keep in mind that betting is for entertainment — there is no guarantee of winning on any bet.
Live Betting — While the Game Is On
You can place bets at king1 even after a match has started — this is called live or in-play betting. Odds change instantly after every over, when a wicket falls or after a boundary.
A Few Practical Tips Before You Start Betting
Betting is entertainment — not a way to earn income. Keeping the points below in mind makes for a more responsible experience.
Set a budget beforehand
Decide how much you will put in for each session before you start. Once that limit is reached, stopping is the sensible choice.
Get to know one market well
Start by focusing on a straightforward market like match winner. Concentrating on one market rather than spreading across many reduces the chance of mistakes.
Be careful with multi bets
Adding three selections to one slip makes the odds bigger, but losing just one means the whole stake is gone. See the king1 Bet page for full multi bet rules.
Know the responsible gaming rules
king1 has responsible gaming guidelines — you can find details there on setting limits and self-exclusion. Applicable to those aged 21 and above.
