takabet Cricket Betting — All Matches from BPL to T20 World Cup
Whether it is a Bangladesh Tigers match or an exciting IPL final — bet on all formats in one place at takabet. Decimal, fractional or American odds, live in-play and a range of markets, all in one place.
Cricket's Three Formats and Popular Tournaments
Each format holds a different appeal for Bangladeshi cricket fans.
T20 is the fastest format — teams try to score as many runs as possible within 20 overs. BPL and IPL are part of this format, and the T20 World Cup brings together the best teams in the world every two years. The Bangladesh Tigers have produced several memorable moments in this format.
ODI, or One Day International, gives each team 50 overs. The pace is not as hectic as T20, but the tactical depth is much greater — spin bowling, fielding plans and partnership betting markets all make ODIs more varied.
Test cricket is played over five days — considered the ultimate test of the game. Betting opportunities here are the most diverse: each session, each innings and the possibility of a draw create a wide range of distinct markets.
Alongside cricket — Football and Other Sports
takabet is not limited to cricket — football and several other sports are also available.
Football Betting
Football has three possible outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins or a draw. In T20 or ODI cricket a draw is generally not possible, so the probability calculation for bets is different. In football, half-time score, total goals and handicap markets are popular.
Other Sports
Betting is also available on sports such as tennis, badminton and kabaddi. Each sport has its own market structure — tennis offers set-by-set betting while match winner is the main market in kabaddi.
Cricket vs Football
In cricket, runs per over, the timing of wicket falls and partnership counts make betting more multi-dimensional. In football, because goals are fewer, there is more opportunity in under markets in low-scoring matches — the market structures of the two sports are quite different.
5 Popular Betting Markets Explained
Understanding which market to bet on changes the whole experience.
Match Winner
A bet on which team will win the entire match. Example: in a T20 between Team A and Team B — if you back Team B and they win, your bet is successful.
Toss Betting
You can bet on which team will win the toss before the match begins. This is completely separate from the match result and has only two possible outcomes.
Top Batsman
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs in the match — recent form of the players on each side is important to consider when betting on this market.
Total Runs Over/Under
The bookmaker sets a runs line — you bet on whether the total runs scored will be above that number (over) or below it (under). Example: if the line is 160 runs and Team A scores 175 and you had bet over, your bet wins.
Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
Combining selections from multiple matches multiplies the odds together. Example: if three selections have decimal odds of 1.50, 1.60 and 1.90, the combined odds are 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.90 = 4.56 (approximately), so a ৳100 bet returns ৳456 — but all three selections must win. For more detail, see our Betting Tips guide.
How to Read and Understand Odds
Decimal, fractional and American — all three methods express the same probability, just written differently.
| Format | Odds for Team A to win | Odds for Team B to win |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.25 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 1/4 |
| American | +125 | −400 |
Understanding with Examples
Example 1 — ৳200 bet on Team A to win (decimal 2.25):
If Team A wins you get back ৳450 (৳250 profit + original ৳200 stake). If Team A loses, the ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — Team B favourite (decimal 1.25, American −400):
American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100 — here it is ৳400. On a ৳200 bet, if Team B wins you get back ৳250 (৳50 profit).

Live In-Play Betting — How Odds Move During a Match
In-play betting means you can place bets after the match has started — and the odds shift with every ball. In cricket, if 2 wickets fall in the first 3 overs, the odds on the batting team to win rise quickly — indicating they are now seen as the underdog. On the other hand, if a batsman hits three sixes in a row, the batting team's odds shorten.
Run rate per over, pitch behaviour, ground conditions and weather forecasts all affect live betting odds. In a domestic match in Dhaka, how spin-friendly the pitch is also matters.
In-play betting moves fast — there is little time to decide. So understand the markets well beforehand and set a budget before you start. Enjoy betting as entertainment — it is not a source of income.
Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Keep betting as entertainment, not a burden — keeping these points in mind makes for a better experience.
Set a fixed budget
Decide from the start how much you are comfortable spending for entertainment. Stick to that limit — placing extra bets to recover losses is not a good decision.
Choose markets based on the format you understand
Total runs markets move quickly in T20; innings betting and session markets are more common in Test. Focus on the format you know best.
Be careful with multi bets
Multi bets offer higher returns but carry more risk — if one selection fails, the entire bet is lost. Think carefully before adding more selections.
Practise responsible betting
Betting is for enjoyment, not a guaranteed way to earn money. Stay calm when you lose. For detailed guidance, read our responsible gaming page.
Do not rush in live betting
In-play betting requires quick decisions. Deciding on likely markets in advance makes it easier to bet at the right moment during live play.
