Cricket Betting at khlo — a complete guide to betting on Bangladesh's favourite sport
Cricket is more than just a game on the field — every over from the Tigers, every session of BPL feels closer when you bet with your head at khlo. This guide covers formats, markets, odds and live betting.
Cricket's three formats and Bangladesh's favourite competitions
Before betting on cricket, it is important to understand the differences between formats, as the pace of play and betting opportunities vary across each one.
T20: In this twenty-over format, matches finish in two to three hours. Leagues like BPL and IPL are played in T20 format, making it the most popular among Bangladeshi fans. Odds change quickly, so live betting is most active here.
ODI: A fifty-over match that tests patience. ICC events and bilateral series are generally played in ODI format. Betting markets in ODI are broader — from session-based bets and Top Batsman to innings run totals.
Test: Betting on five-day Test cricket works differently. A draw is a valid result in Test matches, so markets offer three options — Team A wins, Team B wins, or Draw. From the T20 World Cup to BPL and IPL — Bangladeshi cricket fans enjoy all formats.
Differences between betting on cricket, football and other sports
Betting is not limited to cricket. At khlo you can bet on football and various other sports — but each sport's markets have their own characteristics.
Cricket Betting
Cricket offers the widest range of betting markets — from Match Winner to markets on every over and wicket. In T20 matches the odds can change ball by ball, making live betting especially active. During the BPL season, markets for local teams are also available at khlo.
Football Betting
In football, the most common markets are match result (1X2), Both Teams to Score (BTTS), handicap and total goals. Markets tend to be deeper for international matches and major leagues. There is no innings-based division as in cricket, so the market structure is different.
Other Sports
Betting is also available on sports such as tennis, badminton and kabaddi. These sports offer set-based or point-based markets. Betting strategy differs too — without long innings as in cricket, odds tend to be comparatively stable.
Popular betting markets in cricket with simple examples
Betting on cricket at khlo is not just about 'who will win'. There are separate markets for every aspect of the match. Seven common markets are briefly explained below.
It is worth reading the Terms and Conditions page for full details on betting rules.
Match Winner
The simplest market — which of the two teams will win. T20 and ODI have only two outcomes (no draw); Test has three — Team A, Team B or Draw. This market is a natural starting point for newcomers.
Toss Winner
A market on which team will win the toss before the match begins. Since the outcome is essentially 50/50, odds are usually equal for both teams. This market is active right up until the moment the match starts.
Top Batsman
Who will score the most runs in an innings — you choose one player from a list of options. This market is especially popular in ODI and Test matches, where a batsman has the opportunity to stay at the crease for a long time.
Total Runs Over/Under
The bookmaker sets a specific run line — you bet on whether the total will be over or under that number. Example: will Team A's total runs be more or less than 170. Pitch conditions and weather can influence this market.
Multi Bet
Multiple selections are combined into a single bet. All selections must be correct to get a return — one wrong selection loses the entire bet. Since all odds are multiplied together, the potential return is also larger.
Innings Runs — Specific Overs
How many runs will be scored in the first 6 or 10 overs — this market lets you bet on the powerplay overs. Runs come quickly in T20 powerplays, so this market tends to be quite active.
Multi Bet Example
If three selections have decimal odds of 1.50, 1.70 and 1.80 — the combined odds = 1.50 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.59 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳459 if all three selections are correct. But if any one selection is wrong, the entire ৳100 is lost.
Reading odds in three formats
In cricket betting, odds are written in three different formats — Decimal, Fractional and American. All three express the same probability, just written differently. At khlo you can view odds in your preferred format.
Decimal odds are the simplest — stake × odds = total return. Fractional odds are traditionally British — they show the profit ratio. American odds are divided by "+" or "–".
Example 1 — the same price in three formats (Team A to win, stake ৳1,000)
| Format | Odds | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | Win: ৳2,250 returned (profit ৳1,250); loss: ৳1,000 gone. |
| Fractional | 5/4 | Same result — ৳1,250 profit on a ৳1,000 stake. |
| American | +125 | ৳125 profit on ৳100 — profit is more than the stake. |
Example 2 — favourite's price (Team B to win, stake ৳1,000)
| Format | Odds | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.25 | Win: ৳1,250 returned (profit ৳250). |
| Fractional | 1/4 | Same — only ৳250 profit on a ৳1,000 stake. |
| American | -400 | You must stake ৳400 to profit ৳100 — being the favourite means lower returns. |
In American odds, "+" means underdog (profit is more than the stake), "–" means favourite (profit is less than the stake). Decimal odds never go below 1.00 because that would mean you get back less than your stake.
Of the three formats, decimal odds are the fastest to calculate — especially in multi bets where odds need to be multiplied in sequence.
Remember, betting is for entertainment — no betting strategy guarantees a win. Bet responsibly and follow the responsible gaming guidelines.
Live Betting — how odds change during a match
Live betting or in-play betting in cricket is the most dynamic experience. You can place bets after the match has started, and the odds change with every event in the game.
What happens when a wicket falls?
When a team's key batsman is dismissed, that team's odds of winning lengthen — meaning their chances of winning have dropped. The opposing team's odds shorten accordingly.
Fewer overs, more pressure
In T20, if the required run rate is high in the final 5 overs, the chasing team's odds worsen quickly. Odds update after every ball.
Impact of the Powerplay
Big hitting or quick wickets during the powerplay overs can swing the match — this is the most active period in the live market.
Rain and Duckworth-Lewis
If play is interrupted, live betting is temporarily suspended. If the target is revised under the Duckworth-Lewis method, the odds are reset accordingly.
Practical tips for cricket betting
Bet according to the format — T20, ODI and Test each play differently. A market that works in T20 may not work in Test.
Only bet as much as you can afford to lose on a match. Betting is a form of entertainment — it is not a reliable source of income.
Multi bets offer larger potential returns but carry greater risk. Getting every selection right at the same time is difficult.
Live betting demands quick decisions. Do not let the pressure of changing odds rush you — place your bets with a clear head.
If you have a bad day, do not increase your stakes to try to recover losses — this habit usually leads to even greater losses.
Read the rules and terms of a market carefully before placing a bet. In particular, find out what happens in the case of a tie or an uncertain result. You can find answers to common questions at khlo on the FAQ page.
