Cricket Betting at takabet — Bet on All Formats from BPL to the T20 World Cup
takabet brings cricket betting across all formats for cricket fans in Bangladesh. Place your bets before a match starts or while it is live — whichever way you prefer.
Three Cricket Formats and Major Tournaments
Cricket is divided into three main formats — T20, ODI and Test. Each format has its own pace and strategy, and each offers a different betting experience.
T20: The fastest format, just twenty overs. The situation can change with every ball. BPL is Bangladesh's most popular T20 league, where city-based teams from across the country face each other. IPL and the ICC T20 World Cup also hold a special place among Bangladeshi cricket fans.
ODI: Fifty-over one-day matches require both strategy and patience. The Cricket World Cup is usually held in this format. Excitement across the country runs high around the Tigers' performances.
Test: Five-day cricket offers the deepest analysis for dedicated fans. Pitch behaviour, weather, batting order — everything is considered when making betting decisions. A Test match in Dhaka is always a special occasion for cricket fans.
At takabet, you can bet on all major international matches and leagues across these three formats. Football, tennis and other sports are also available for betting alongside cricket — but cricket has the widest variety of markets here.
Differences Between Cricket and Football Betting
Both cricket and football are popular on betting platforms, but their market structures are quite different.
Cricket Betting
Cricket offers far more markets — from match winner to runs per over, toss, partnerships and the order of wicket falls. In longer matches, odds shift quickly at different stages of an innings, which makes live betting particularly interesting.
Football Betting
Because a draw is possible in football, the 1X2 market (home/draw/away) is the most common. Markets around the number of goals and both teams scoring are popular here. Football has more matches than cricket, so there are more opportunities to build multi bets.
Other sports like tennis, badminton or kabaddi tend to have simpler market types — mainly match winner and set-by-set results. The variety found in cricket is rarely matched in other sports.
5 Popular Betting Markets — With Simple Examples
Match Winner
A straight bet on which of the two teams will win. Example: Team A vs Team B — you think Team A will win, so you place a bet on Team A. If Team A wins, the bet is successful.
Toss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss — a single event with two possible outcomes. The toss carries more weight on subcontinental pitches, which makes this market particularly talked about.
Top Batsman
A bet on which player will score the most runs for a team in an innings or across the full match. Example: you pick a specific player as Team B's top batsman — if that player scores the most runs, the bet is successful.
Total Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs scored in a set number of overs will be above (over) or below (under) a specified number. Example: will Team A score more than 70 runs in the first 10 overs — you bet on your prediction.
Multi Bet
Combining multiple bets into one accumulator. If all selections are correct, the return multiplies. Example: picking winners from three different matches in a multi bet — you need all three to win to receive the full payout.
Wicket Fall
A bet on the score at which the first wicket will fall, or the total number of wickets in an innings. These specific events can be bet on individually. This market is especially popular on pace-friendly pitches.
Decimal, Fractional and American Odds — Explained Simply
Example 1 — The same price shown in three formats for a ৳1,000 bet
If the odds for Team A to win are:
All three mean the same thing. If you place a ৳1,000 bet and Team A wins, your total return is ৳3,000 — that is ৳2,000 profit plus your ৳1,000 stake back. If Team A loses, you lose the full ৳1,000.
Example 2 — What the favourite's price looks like
Team B is more likely to win, so their odds are lower:
American minus odds (-125) mean you need to bet ৳125 to win ৳100. On a ৳1,000 bet, if Team B wins you get back ৳1,800 (profit of ৳800). All three formats show the same outcome — the only difference is the way they are written.
The decimal format is generally the easiest to use at takabet, since multiplying your stake by the odds directly gives your total return. If you are new to takabet bet, decimal format is a convenient place to start.
How Live Betting Works During a Match
Live or in-play betting means you can place bets after the match has already started. Odds update automatically after each wicket, every big over and at the end of the powerplay.
For example: Team A's odds to win were 2.50 at the start. If Team A loses 3 wickets during the powerplay, odds could drop to 1.60, because the market sees Team A as less likely to win. Team B's odds would rise at the same time.
In live betting, decisions need to be made quickly. Before placing a bet, check the current score, number of wickets fallen and overs remaining. Odds move fast when a big partnership is broken, so staying focused matters.
Live betting is not limited to cricket — it is also available for football and tennis. In cricket it is especially interesting because in a short format like T20, a single over can completely change the situation.
| Situation | Team A Odds | Team B Odds |
|---|---|---|
| Match start | 2.40 | 1.70 |
| After powerplay (Team A has lost 2 wickets) | 3.10 | 1.40 |
| 15th over (Team A's run rate is good) | 1.90 | 2.00 |
These are examples only — actual odds will differ.
Some Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
- Understand the format before you bet: Markets differ between T20 and Test. Boundary and wicket markets are more active in T20, while session-based markets are more common in Test.
- Watch how the pitch behaves: If the pitch favours spin, spinners are likely to take more wickets — this affects the top wicket-taker market.
- Be careful with multi bets: Decimal odds of 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.90 across three selections give combined odds of around 4.26. A ৳100 bet returns ৳426 if all three win — but if even one loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
- Set a budget: Decide how much you are willing to place on each bet before you start. Betting is a form of entertainment — it is better not to treat it as a source of income.
- Watch live odds and bet at the right time: Odds shift quickly after a wicket falls. If you have already made your decision, do not wait too long to place the bet.
- Play responsibly: Following the responsible gaming guidelines keeps betting enjoyable at all times. The most important rule is not to bet beyond your budget.
