take a class for Property.

C#

public class CheckBoxValues
{
   public string ValueToDisplay{get;set;}
   public string ValueToBind{get;set;}
}

Now Take a list of object of this class and bind this list with your value like...

C#

...
List<checkboxvalues> ChkList =  new List<checkboxvalues>();
//take new object of class.
CheckBoxValues obj;
obj = new CheckBoxValues();
obj.ValueToDisplay = "Cricket";
obj.ValueToBind = "crick";
ChkList.add(obj);
//lets add another object
obj = new CheckBoxValues();
obj.ValueToDisplay = "Football";
obj.ValueToBind = "ft";
ChkList.add(obj);
//you can also add this dynamically.
...
//now give it as your checkBox list's textfield and valuefield.
chklistControll.DataSource = ChkList;
chklistControll.DataTextField = "ValueToDisplay";
chklistControll.DataValueField = "ValueToBind";
chklistControll.DataBind();

Hope This Help
