Cricket Betting at kx8 — Bet on Every Match from BPL to T20 World Cup
kx8 offers detailed betting on T20, ODI and Test formats for cricket fans in Bangladesh. Follow live odds for every moment of BPL, IPL and international cricket, and place bets on your preferred markets.
Cricket's Three Formats and Popular Tournaments
Each cricket format has its own appeal for fans. T20 is the fastest — a match wraps up in just twenty overs, with the chance of a dramatic turn on every ball. Betting moves quickly in this format because odds change minute by minute.
ODI is a fifty-over game — this medium-paced format tests both strategy and patience. ICC World Cups and major bilateral series are generally played in ODI format. It offers more room for analysis when betting.
Test cricket is the five-day long version — the most traditional format of the game. A draw is possible, so the betting market runs three ways: Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw. kx8 covers betting on all major matches across all three formats.
For cricket fans in Bangladesh, BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) is the most passionate tournament — the whole country lights up with the fours and sixes at Dhaka's grounds. There is also huge interest in IPL and Bangladesh Tigers matches at the ICC T20 World Cup. kx8 covers matches from all these tournaments.
Betting on Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, kx8 also offers betting on football and other sports. The strategy and markets differ clearly from one sport to another.
Football Betting
In football, a draw is a valid result, so the market runs three ways — home team, away team or draw. Like cricket, over-under is available here too, but based on the number of goals. It is not as fast as T20, but the game can turn at any moment within ninety minutes.
Cricket vs Football
In cricket (T20/ODI) there is no draw — one team wins. This makes betting simpler. Cricket also has many smaller markets — wickets, overs, partnerships — which are more varied than in football.
Other Sports
kx8 also has markets for tennis, badminton and table tennis. Betting on these sports is less complex than cricket — match winner and set-over markets are the most common.
Popular Cricket Markets with Examples
You can bet on multiple markets in each match. Below is a brief description of seven common markets and how they work.
Match Winner
A straightforward market — pick which team will win. T20 and ODI have only two outcomes (Team A or Team B), while Test has three (Team A, Team B or draw). If you select Team A, your bet wins only if they win.
Toss Betting
Which team — Team A or Team B — will win the toss before the match. The result is entirely down to chance, so odds are nearly equal. This is an easy market for learning how betting works.
Top Batsman
Pick which batsman will score the most runs in an innings or the full match. If a team has a strong batsman, the odds for them will be lower — odds for a weaker batsman will be higher.
Total Runs Over/Under
Pick whether the combined total runs of both teams in the full match will be over or under a set number. Say the line is 320 runs — if you think it will be exceeded, bet on over.
Multi Bet
Multiple market selections are combined into one bet. If all of them are correct, the total odds multiply. For example, if three selections have odds of 1.60, 1.70 and 1.90, the combined odds come to roughly 5.17 — meaning a ৳100 bet returns ৳517 if successful. However, if any one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Handicap Betting
To level the field between two unevenly matched teams, the weaker side is given a virtual head start. If Team B is given a 20-run handicap, Team A must win by 21 or more runs for your handicap bet on them to win.
Wicket and Over Markets
Smaller markets like how many runs will be scored in a specific over, when the first wicket will fall, or the total score in the powerplay — these let you bet at any point during a match.
How to Read Odds — Three Formats
The same odds can be written in three ways. kx8 shows decimal by default, but you can switch to your preference.
| Format | Team A Win | Team B Win | How to Read |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.80 | Multiply directly with your stake — ৳1,000 × 2.25 = ৳2,250 returned |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 4/5 | The first means ৳5 profit on a ৳4 bet; the second means ৳4 profit on a ৳5 bet |
| American | +125 | -125 | + shows profit on a ৳100 bet; − shows how much you need to bet to make ৳100 profit |
Example 1 — Betting on Team A to Win
Say Team A's decimal odds are 2.25 (fractional 5/4, American +125). A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳2,250 in total if Team A wins — that is ৳1,250 profit plus your ৳1,000 stake back. If Team A loses, you lose ৳1,000.
Example 2 — Favourite Team B
Team B is the favourite, so the odds are lower — decimal 1.80 (fractional 4/5, American −125). The American minus means you need to bet ৳125 to make ৳100 profit. A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,800 in total if Team B wins — ৳800 profit.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Change During the Match
Live betting is one of the most engaging parts of cricket. After the match starts, odds shift with every wicket, every over and the outcome of the powerplay.
Say Team A is batting. After 10 overs they have 80 runs and only 1 wicket down — Team A's odds to win drop because they are in a strong position. If a sudden wicket falls or dot-ball pressure builds, Team A's odds will rise again.
Live mode requires quick decisions — so watch the match closely. The scenarios below give an idea of how in-play odds move:
Live markets are temporarily suspended at certain moments (such as mid-delivery) — this is normal. Live odds update in real time in kx8 Bet Sports Betting section.
Things to Keep in Mind for Live Betting
Avoid live betting without a stable internet connection — odds change fast.
Check the scoreboard before placing a bet — you need to know who is batting, the current score and wickets fallen.
In-play markets are sometimes temporarily suspended — be patient.
Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
Start with a familiar format. T20 is fast-paced but the outcome is clear. Begin with small bets on the match winner market — it is easier to understand the odds and follow the result.
Set a budget. Betting is a form of entertainment — do not bet beyond your means. Decide how much you will spend in each session before you start.
Be careful with multi bets. Odds multiply across selections, but if any one of them is wrong, you lose the whole bet. Starting with no more than two or three selections is the sensible approach.
Read the market rules. Each market has its own terms — not knowing the specific rules for handicap or over/under can lead to misunderstandings. Full details are available on the kx8 Terms and Conditions page.
Bet comfortably on mobile. The kx8 Android and iOS apps are available through official channels. You can follow live matches on your smartphone from the ground or on the go.
Play responsibly. Betting is for enjoyment. Placing larger bets in a rush to recover losses is not a good idea. If you feel there is a problem, read the kx8 Responsible Gaming guidelines.
