Sports Betting at Top Bookies
From PSL match winners to over-by-over cricket specials and live in-play betting — here is everything you need to understand how betting works at Top Bookies, all in PKR.
The Sportsbook
Sports betting at Top Bookies is built around what Pakistani players actually follow. Cricket is the headline sport — not as an afterthought but as the core of the sportsbook. PSL matches, home and away internationals, T20 World Cup fixtures and bilateral series all appear with a wide variety of markets so you have real choice rather than just a basic match winner option. For players who follow multiple sports, football, tennis, kabaddi and esports are also covered.
Everything on the sportsbook runs in PKR. You deposit in Pakistani Rupees, your balance shows in PKR and your winnings are credited in PKR. There is no currency conversion involved, no hidden exchange rate to worry about, and no need to do any mental arithmetic to figure out how much you are actually staking or winning. The minimum stake amounts are kept accessible so you can bet at a level that suits your budget without being pushed into wagers larger than you are comfortable with.
The sportsbook is available on desktop, mobile browser and through the Top Bookies Android app. All three give you the same full range of markets, the same odds and the same ability to place live in-play bets. If you are watching a PSL match on your phone and want to put a quick bet on who will hit the next six, the platform makes that a realistic proposition rather than a frustrating experience.
What You Can Bet On
PSL, T20 internationals, ODIs, Test matches. Deep market coverage including live betting, player specials and over-by-over options throughout the match.
Premier League, UEFA Champions League, international fixtures and domestic leagues. Match result, both teams to score, handicap and more.
CS2, Dota 2, League of Legends and other major esports titles. Tournament and match betting with pre-match and live markets.
Tennis, basketball, kabaddi, table tennis and other sports depending on season and fixture availability. The sportsbook updates regularly with new events.
Cricket Betting in Depth
Cricket betting in Pakistan is not a casual interest — for a lot of players it is the main reason they use a sportsbook at all. The cricket section at Top Bookies is set up accordingly. PSL is given prominent placement throughout the season, with every fixture listed well in advance so you can plan your bets rather than having to rush a decision at the last minute.
The markets available on a typical PSL match cover far more than just which team wins. You will usually find options for top batsman, top bowler, total runs in the match, total sixes, method of the first dismissal, toss winner and various over-by-over specials. During major international T20 tournaments, the coverage expands further to include series winner markets and individual player performance props.
For Test match betting, the Top Bookies sportsbook carries match result, series result, top run scorer and player performance markets. Test cricket moves at a different pace and the markets reflect that — you have more time to think through your bets and the odds shift as the match develops across multiple days.
Live betting on cricket is where the platform really comes into its own. Once a match starts, the live sportsbook shows updated markets and shifting odds in real time. A team that is struggling in the powerplay might see their match winner odds lengthen — and if you think they are going to recover, the live market lets you back that view at better value than you would have got pre-match. Conversely, if a middle-order partnership is building and the match is turning, you can back the momentum early rather than waiting until the result is nearly certain and the odds have compressed.
During the Pakistan Super League, Top Bookies provides extended market depth on every match. Group stage games, knockout fixtures and the final all get full coverage including live betting and player specials.
Pre-tournament outright markets — PSL winner, most runs, most wickets — are available from the start of the season.
Odds at Top Bookies are displayed in decimal format by default, which is straightforward to work with — multiply your stake by the decimal odds to get your total return including the original stake. You can switch to fractional or American odds in your account settings if you prefer a different format.
Winning bets are settled and credited to your account balance once the result is confirmed. For most cricket markets this is shortly after the match ends. Some special markets — like top tournament scorer — settle when the event concludes. Your bet history shows the status of all open and settled bets.
In-Play Betting
Live markets update continuously as the match progresses. Odds shift with every ball, every wicket and every boundary. You can place bets between deliveries or during drinks breaks — the live sportsbook stays active throughout.
Live betting is one of the features Pakistani cricket fans make the most use of at Top Bookies. The ability to watch how a team sets up their chase and then place a bet based on what you are actually seeing is a different experience to pre-match betting, and a more engaging one. You are reacting to real events rather than predicting from scratch.
The live betting interface is designed to be fast. When you select a market and enter a stake, the confirmation process is streamlined so you are not sitting through multiple screens while the odds you wanted have already moved. Bet acceptance is quick and your bet slip clears ready for the next selection without requiring you to navigate away and come back.
Live betting is not limited to cricket. Football matches, tennis sets and esports games all have live markets when in progress. If you follow European football alongside cricket, the live sportsbook covers both simultaneously so you can have bets running on a PSL T20 and a Premier League match at the same time within the same account.
One practical thing to know: live odds are offered subject to market suspension during key moments — a wicket falling, a run-out review, or a video review in football. This is standard practice and the markets reopen quickly once the moment is resolved. Bets that were already placed and accepted before the suspension are unaffected.

Select the Betting section from the main menu. You will see a list of upcoming events sorted by sport and date. Cricket and PSL matches appear at the top during active seasons.
Click or tap on the match you want to bet on. Browse the available markets and click the odds next to the outcome you want to back. This adds it to your bet slip.
In the bet slip, type in the amount you want to wager in PKR. The slip will show your potential return automatically based on the current odds. Review your selection and stake before confirming.
Once you are happy with the stake and selection, confirm the bet. You will get immediate confirmation and the bet appears in your bet history. Winnings are credited automatically once the result is settled.
Understanding Odds
Odds tell you how much you stand to win relative to your stake. Here is a quick reference for the three common formats — Top Bookies displays decimal by default.
| Format | Example | What It Means | Return on PKR 1,000 Stake |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Multiply stake by the decimal. Includes your original stake in the return figure. | PKR 2,500 total (PKR 1,500 profit) |
| Fractional | 3/2 | Win PKR 3 for every PKR 2 staked. Your original stake is returned on top of the profit. | PKR 2,500 total (PKR 1,500 profit) |
| American (Moneyline) | +150 | Positive number shows profit on a PKR 100 stake. Negative shows stake needed to win PKR 100. | PKR 2,500 total (PKR 1,500 profit) |
Total return = Stake × Decimal Odds
Profit = (Stake × Decimal Odds) − Stake
Example: PKR 2,000 stake at odds of 1.90 = PKR 3,800 return, PKR 1,800 profit.
Odds change before and during a match based on betting activity and match developments. The odds displayed when you confirm your bet are the odds applied to your wager. If odds have moved between when you selected and when you confirm, the slip will show the updated price before you finalise.
Bet Types
The most common type of bet at Top Bookies is the single — one selection, one outcome, one result. Singles are the cleanest way to bet and the easiest to track. If your selection wins, your bet wins. Most experienced bettors use singles as their default, especially when betting on cricket where there are enough quality markets on a single match to fill a betting session without combining multiple events.
Accumulator bets — often called accas — combine multiple selections into one bet. All selections need to win for the accumulator to pay out, but the odds of each selection multiply together, which means a small stake can return a large amount if everything comes in. A four-fold accumulator combining four cricket match winners at moderate odds can return significantly more than four individual single bets with the same total stake. The tradeoff is that one losing selection voids the entire accumulator.
For players who want a middle ground between singles and full accumulators, combination bets like doubles and trebles offer more selections than a single while being more forgiving than a long accumulator. A double requires both selections to win; a treble requires three. These are worth considering when you have two or three cricket matches on the same day where you feel confident about the outcomes.
Over/under markets are another popular format at Top Bookies, especially for cricket. Rather than picking a winner, you bet on whether a particular statistic — total runs, total sixes, total wickets — will finish above or below a set number. This type of market is useful when you have a read on how a pitch is likely to play or how two specific sides usually perform against each other, without needing to commit to a match result.
One selection. Simplest and most common bet type. Your return depends entirely on whether your one selection wins.
Two selections combined. Both must win. Odds multiply together for a higher potential return than two singles.
Four or more selections. All must win. High potential return from a small stake but any single loss settles the whole bet as a loser.
Bet on whether a stat (runs, sixes, goals) finishes above or below a set line. No winner to pick — just a number to beat or stay under.
Your full bet history is accessible from your account at any time. Open bets, settled bets, winnings and stake amounts are all recorded. Reviewing your history periodically is a useful way to see which types of bets and which sports are working for you over time.
