Cricket Betting on kx8 — Complete Guide to T20, ODI and BPL
Bet on the most popular sport in Bangladesh. On kx8 you get various markets, live odds and special features for every format of cricket in one place.
Cricket Formats and Competitions
T20 Cricket
This 20-over format is the most watched and most bet on in Bangladesh. The course of a match can change every over, so odds shift quickly. BPL and the T20 World Cup are the biggest events in this format.
ODI Cricket
In this 50-over format a match runs all day. The balance between a batsman building an innings and a bowler's planning makes betting more varied. The ICC World Cup and bilateral series are the main focus of ODI betting.
Test Cricket
In a five-day Test match a draw is a valid result. Three possible outcomes — Team A win, Team B win or draw — make the betting market distinct. There is more scope to bet on batting and bowling statistics over the extended period of play.
BPL, IPL and International Matches
The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) holds a special place for cricket fans in Bangladesh. With local stars playing alongside foreign professionals, every match becomes unpredictable. On kx8 there are multiple markets available to bet on for every BPL match.
IPL is India's top T20 league. With the world's best cricketers taking part, it is equally popular among fans in Bangladesh. For the ICC T20 World Cup and Bangladesh Tigers international series, the range of markets on kx8 expands further.
Popular Betting Markets
Various cricket markets are available to bet on at kx8. Below are the most popular markets with a brief explanation of each.
Match Winner
T20 ODIA bet on which team will win the match. In T20 and ODI there are two outcomes — Team A or Team B. Example: if Team A is playing Team B and you think Team B will win, bet on Team B.
Toss Betting
Easy marketA bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result is a 50/50 chance, so odds for both teams are nearly equal. Results are known quickly.
Top Batsman
PerformanceYou can bet on which batsman in a given team will score the most runs. The full result of an innings depends on one player's performance.
Total Runs Over / Under
RunlineA bet on whether the total runs in the whole match or a specific innings will be above or below a set number. Wickets and pitch conditions are important factors here.
Multi Bet
Multiple matchesCombine selections from multiple matches into one bet. If all selections are correct, you receive a return at the combined odds — one wrong selection loses the entire bet.
Series and Tournament Winner
Long-termYou can place a bet on the outright winner of a tournament or series before it begins. Odds are generally higher, but you have to wait until the entire event is over to know the result.
Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, kx8 offers betting on football, tennis, basketball and many other sports. In football, beyond match winner you can find handicap, both teams to score and corner count markets.
The main difference between cricket and football betting is match length and the number of possible results. In football a draw is a common result, so the match winner market has three options (1X2). In T20 cricket there are usually two options, and in Test cricket three.
Alongside online betting, kx8's casino section also offers live games to play. If you want a break from betting, kx8 Casino has a large collection of slots and live casino games.
A Simple Guide to Understanding Odds
Odds are written in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. Below they are explained with real examples.
Example 1 — Three formats of equal value
Team A to win — decimal odds 3.00, fractional 2/1, American +200. With a ৳1,000 bet, if Team A wins you receive a total return of ৳3,000 (৳2,000 profit + ৳1,000 stake back). If Team A loses, ৳1,000 is gone.
All three formats represent the same value of odds — only the way they are written differs.
Example 2 — Favourite's odds
Team B is the favourite — decimal odds 1.50, fractional 1/2, American -200. A negative American odds figure shows how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit.
With a ৳1,000 bet, if Team B wins the total return is ৳1,500 (৳500 profit + ৳1,000 stake back). The favourite has lower odds, so the return is also lower.
LIVE Live Betting — Odds during the match
You can place bets even after a match has started — this is in-play or live betting. In cricket, odds update fresh after every over and every wicket.
Example: in a T20 match at the 15th over, Team A is 150 for 8 — in this situation Team B's odds of winning will drop sharply because Team A has little chance of scoring more. On the other hand, if Team A suddenly hits two sixes in a row in the 18th over, the odds will shift quickly again.
Live betting is also available for ODI and Test matches. In a Test, the influence of spinners on a fifth-day pitch can change odds dramatically. In live betting you have less time to decide — so it is important to understand the market and stay clear-headed.
While spending time on betting, you can also try a different kind of game. The slots section has various slot games that offer a completely different experience from cricket betting.
Some Useful Tips for Betting
Set your budget in advance
Decide how much you will spend before each match. Betting is one form of entertainment — think of it as an entertainment expense, not a way to earn money.
Start with one market
New bettors do better by focusing on only the match winner market at first. Understanding one market well is more effective than trying to cover many markets at once.
Bet according to the format
T20 and Test are completely different in nature. In T20 a single over can turn the match; in Test you have to consider five days of conditions. Each format has its own type of markets.
Be careful with multi bets
Multi bets offer higher returns but also carry higher risk. Combining more than three selections reduces the chance of all of them being correct very quickly. Start multi bets with fewer selections.
No rushing in live betting
Odds change fast in live betting. Rather than placing a bet in a hurry, watch how the match is flowing and then make a calm decision. Bet based on the situation, not on emotion.
Play responsibly
Betting is always for entertainment. After a loss, take a break instead of placing a bigger bet to recover. Learn more about responsible gaming.
