takabet Cricket Betting — Complete Guide to BPL, IPL and International Matches
From T20 to Test — all the most familiar markets for Bangladeshi bettors, in one place. Match winner, toss, top batsman and live in-play: takabet's cricket betting experience is covered in detail here.
Cricket's Three Formats and Favourite Competitions
For people in Bangladesh, cricket is more than a sport — it is passion. takabet turns that passion into a complete betting experience.
T20 — The Fastest Format
A T20 match wraps up in just three hours, making it the most popular format among bettors. BPL and IPL are the two tournaments that draw the most interest from Bangladeshi bettors. Betting on the Tigers during the T20 World Cup has become a seasonal entertainment for many people.
Odds move fast in T20 — the run rate per over, number of wickets and powerplay performance directly affect live odds. This format is relatively straightforward for new bettors to understand.
ODI — The Fifty-Over Balance
In a fifty-over one-day international, strategy matters a great deal. ODI betting markets are quite varied during the ICC World Cup and bilateral series. The situation shifts with each innings, so bettors can adjust their approach as the match progresses.
ICC 50 OversTest — Five Days of Patient Cricket
Betting on Test cricket is a different experience altogether. A draw is a valid result in a five-day match, so the market offers three options — Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw. Pitch conditions, weather and the balance between batting and bowling largely determine Test odds.
5 Days Draw PossibleFootball and Other Sports — How They Differ from Cricket
Football betting is also popular at takabet alongside cricket. However, there are important differences in how betting works for the two sports. In football, a match typically has three possible outcomes — home team wins, away team wins, or draw. In cricket (ODI and T20), there are usually only two, since a draw is generally not possible.
In football, a single goal can turn a match around, so odds shift in an instant. In cricket, wickets and overs change the picture more gradually, giving live bettors a bit more time to think.
Markets for other sports including Kabaddi, table tennis and badminton are also available at takabet, though the main focus of this page is cricket. If you are interested in casino games as well, you can browse the full collection of live table games and slots at takabet Casino.
Five Popular Betting Markets with Examples
Understanding how each market works makes betting much more enjoyable. Seven markets are explained here in plain language.
Match Winner
The simplest market — bet on which team will win the match. Example: in a T20 match between Team A and Team B, you back Team B. If Team B wins, your bet is successful; if not, the stake is lost.
Simple All FormatsToss Betting
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. This is independent of the match result. Example: between Team A and Team B, the only question is whether Team A wins the toss.
Quick ResultTop Batsman
Bet on which batsman will score the most runs in an innings or across the whole match. Example: from Team A's batting lineup, you pick which player will be the top scorer — pitch conditions and the opposition's bowling attack can help inform the choice.
SpecialistTotal Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the total runs in a match or innings will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. Example: will the combined total of both teams in a T20 match exceed 320 — tracked throughout the entire match.
Number AnalysisMulti Bet
Combine multiple matches or events into a single bet. All selections must be correct for the multi bet to win. If even one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost. Example: pick three teams across three separate matches — all three must win.
High Return High RiskMan of the Match
Bet on which player will receive the player of the match award. Top runs, best bowling figures or a match-winning performance all factor in — making this a fun market to predict.
Award BetHandicap Betting
In the handicap market, an artificial margin is created between two teams so that betting on both sides remains equally attractive even when the teams are unevenly matched. Example: if Team A starts with a 20-run handicap deficit, that figure is applied when calculating the final margin. In this market, understanding the outcome is what matters — no specific stake or return figures are needed.
How to Read and Understand Odds
Odds are written in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. Once you understand them, everything becomes straightforward.
Decimal, Fractional and American — the Same Odds in Three Forms
Take a bet on Team A to win with these odds: Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150.
A ৳200 bet returns ৳500 on a win (৳300 profit + ৳200 stake). If you lose, the ৳200 is gone.
In American format, "+" shows how much profit a ৳100 bet makes. So +150 means ৳150 profit on a ৳100 bet.
What do a favourite's odds look like?
Team B wins — as the favourite, their odds are: Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American -125.
American minus odds show how much you need to bet to win ৳100. Here, -125 means a ৳125 bet returns ৳100 profit.
A ৳200 bet returns ৳360 (৳160 profit + ৳200 stake).
Live In-Play Betting — While the Match is On
Live in-play betting is the most dynamic part of cricket betting. You can place bets even after the match has started — and the odds keep shifting with every delivery.
When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds go up and the fielding team's odds come down. If runs come quickly during the powerplay, the batting team's odds of winning shorten. If the required run rate rises steeply in the final overs, the batting team's odds lengthen.
Live betting is just as engaging in Test matches. Over five days, as the pitch changes, the effectiveness of spinners or pacers is reflected in the odds.
A Few Useful Tips Before You Start Betting
Betting is entertainment — always treat it that way. Set aside a specific amount for betting and do not go beyond it. If a bet loses, do not chase it with a bigger bet.
For new bettors, starting with the match winner market is a good idea — it is easy to understand and the outcome is clear. Multi bets are appealing because the combined odds across several bets can be much higher, but if any selection is wrong the entire bet is lost.
