Cricket Betting at takbet — Every Match from BPL to T20 World Cup
Cricket is Bangladesh's most popular sport. Place a bet before the match or check the odds while the game is live and decide then — takbet offers markets including match winner, toss and top batsman. This is a form of entertainment, so keep your betting within limits.
Cricket Formats and Tournaments
The three main formats — T20, ODI and Test — each have a different pace and style. These differences are useful to keep in mind when choosing a betting market.
| Format | Number of Overs | Betting Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| T20 | 20 overs | Quick results, live odds shift every ball, match winner and total runs markets are popular |
| ODI | 50 overs | Longer match, more room for the game to turn in the middle overs, top batsman market is attractive |
| Test | Five days | A draw is possible, so there are three result options — series markets are available alongside match winner |
From BPL to the International Stage
During the BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) season in Dhaka, the energy around cricket is something else. Alongside BPL, takbet also covers big events like IPL, T20 World Cup and the ICC Champions Trophy. Bangladesh Tigers international matches naturally draw the most interest from bettors.
In IPL, odds are the simplest signal for figuring out which team is the favourite among the franchise cricket lineup. Understanding how to read odds makes the betting experience much more enjoyable.
If you enjoy casino games as well as cricket, takbet Casino has a large collection of live casino and slot games.
Football and Other Sports Betting
Alongside cricket, takbet also offers betting on football and several other sports. The style of betting differs from sport to sport.
Football Betting
A football match can have three outcomes — home win, draw or away win. Because of these three options, the way odds are structured in football is a little different from T20 cricket. Leagues like the Premier League or Champions League offer a wider variety of markets — from goalscorers to handicap markets.
Other Sports
In sports like badminton, tennis or kabaddi, you generally choose between two outcomes. Each sport has its own rhythm and style — the ball-by-ball shifts you see in cricket are less frequent here, but the markets are easy to understand.
The key difference in cricket betting is that live odds change after every wicket or boundary — in other sports this usually does not happen as often. So in cricket, you need to watch the odds a little more closely.
Popular Betting Markets and Examples
These are the most commonly used markets on takbet. A brief explanation of each is given below.
Match Winner
Bet on which team will win — Team A or Team B. In T20 and ODI there are no draws, so you pick one of the two. The simplest and most straightforward market.
Most PopularToss Winner
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. It is a pure 50-50 event, so odds for both teams are roughly equal. Results come quickly.
Quick ResultTop Batsman
Bet on which player will score the most runs in the match or innings — for example, whether someone from Team A will be the top scorer. Current form and pitch conditions are factors.
Team AnalysisTotal Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the runs scored will be above or below a set target. Example: whether Team A scores more than 70 runs in the first 10 overs. Pitch and weather conditions have an impact.
Above or Below the LineMulti Bet
Combine the results of multiple matches into a single bet. If all selections are correct the return is higher, but if even one is wrong the entire bet is lost. Higher risk, higher return.
Multiple MatchesInnings Run Range
Bet on which run range the total for an innings will fall into — for example 160–180 or 181–200. This market is quite active in T20, as runs can spike sharply in the final overs.
Range BettingReading Odds in Three Formats — Explained Simply
Odds are written in three ways — decimal, fractional and American. The two examples below make the difference clear.
Example 1 — Team A wins (৳200 bet)
All three formats express the same value. A ৳200 bet returns a total of ৳600 if Team A wins — that is ৳400 profit plus the ৳200 original stake. If Team A loses, the ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — Team B is the favourite (৳200 bet)
Decimal 1.80 means Team B is the favourite — the return is lower. A ৳200 bet returns ৳360 in total if Team B wins (৳160 profit). American −125 means you need to stake ৳125 to make ৳100 profit.
Decimal format is the easiest to understand — just multiply the stake by the odds to get the total return. Most bettors in Bangladesh are used to decimal odds. For more details about betting, visit our FAQ page.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Shift Wicket by Wicket
In-play betting lets you place bets while the match is in progress. In cricket, odds update automatically after each wicket, each maiden over, or when the last five overs begin.
Say Team A has scored only 60 runs in the first 10 overs and has lost three wickets — at that moment Team A's odds of winning will lengthen because the result now looks harder to achieve. On the other hand, if Team A is scoring quickly, Team B's odds will go up. This is how odds are set after each ball is assessed.
In-play betting is most active in T20 — a sudden six in the final over can change the whole picture. So you need to stay focused when placing bets in live markets. Keep in mind this is part of the entertainment — betting on every single ball is not the wisest approach.
Practical Betting Tips — Know Before You Start
-
Set a betting budget in advance. Put aside a fixed amount — stop when it runs out. Betting is part of the entertainment, not a way to recover losses.
-
Understand the odds before you bet. In decimal format, 1.50 means a ৳100 bet returns ৳150 — ৳50 profit. The lower the odds, the stronger the favourite.
-
Be careful with multi bets. Picking three matches together can give a higher return, but if even one is wrong the whole bet is lost. It is better to get comfortable with single markets first.
-
Avoid rushing in live betting. Odds change fast, so look at the current state of the match before making a decision. Ground conditions and pitch state affect live odds.
-
Bet responsibly. Betting is not allowed for those under 21. If you feel you have a problem with betting, support information is available on the responsible gaming page.
