takabet Cricket Betting — place bets on all matches from BPL to T20 World Cup
Bangladesh's most popular sport is now closer than ever. Enjoy cricket on takabet with live odds, multiple betting markets and easy deposits using Bangladeshi payment methods.
Three Formats of Cricket and Major Tournaments
Test, ODI and T20 — each format has its own rhythm, and betting is most enjoyable when you understand that rhythm.
T20
The fastest format — in a 20-over match, odds can shift with every ball. BPL, IPL and the ICC T20 World Cup are the most popular among Bangladeshi fans. T20 betting on takabet is particularly active as more markets are available in a shorter time.
ODI
The Bangladesh Tigers' performance in the 50-over format is always a talking point. In ODI matches at the ICC Cricket World Cup and bilateral series, markets range from the toss to the run rate.
Test
In this five-day format the game shifts gradually, making in-play betting especially useful. A draw is a valid result in Test matches, unlike in T20 or ODI — so odds are offered on three outcomes.
Football Betting
Football is hugely popular in Bangladesh alongside cricket. Major club leagues and international tournaments offer markets such as match winner, total goals and both teams to score. Compared to cricket, football has a higher chance of low-scoring matches, so the odds structure is different.
Other Sports
Betting markets are also available for sports like Kabaddi, Badminton and Tennis. Odds are built around each sport's own rules — for example, set-by-set betting in Tennis is different from over-by-over betting in cricket. If you want variety, explore the sports section on takabet.
Popular Betting Markets and How They Work
To bet on cricket at takabet, it helps to have a clear understanding of the markets. Here is a brief introduction to seven popular markets.
Match Winner
You bet on which of the two teams will win. In T20 and ODI there are only two outcomes (since draws are not common), and in Tests there are three. This is the most straightforward market.
Toss
Which team wins the toss — this is a completely independent event and is not connected to the match result. The odds for both teams are usually close to equal.
Top Batsman
You bet on which batter will score the most runs in the match or in a single innings. Knowing the team lineup makes this market easier to assess.
Total Runs Over/Under
You bet on whether the total runs scored in a specific over or across the whole match will be above or below a given number. For example: will the first powerplay produce more or fewer than 60 runs.
Multi Bet
Multiple matches or markets are combined into a single bet. You win only if every selection is correct — one wrong selection loses the entire bet. Because the odds are multiplied, the potential return is higher.
Wicket Bet
You bet on how many wickets will fall in an over or within a set period. This market becomes especially significant on fast pitches or in spin-friendly conditions.
Betting Exchange
Here you bet against other bettors rather than against a bookmaker. BACK means betting on a win, LAY means betting on a loss — returns are calculated after commission is deducted.
How to Read Odds
The same odds can be written in three different formats. Once you understand them, you can quickly work out the numbers from any match's odds.
| Format | Team A Win | Team B Win |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | 1.50 |
| Fractional | 2/1 | 1/2 |
| American | +200 | -200 |
Example 1 (Team A): Stake ৳500, odds 3.00 — if you win, you get back ৳1,500 (৳1,000 profit + ৳500 stake); if you lose, ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 (Team B — favourite): Odds 1.50, stake ৳500 — if you win, you get back ৳750 (৳250 profit). In American format, -200 means you need to stake ৳200 to make ৳100 profit.
About RTP: Like betting odds, slot games also have an RTP. You can find detailed RTP information for popular slots on the takabet Slots page.
Live In-Play Betting — place bets while the match is on
In-play betting is the most engaging way to bet on cricket. You can place bets even after the match has started — odds shift with every wicket that falls and the run-rate calculation resets after every boundary.
Say Team A is chasing 160 runs in 20 overs. After 10 overs they are 70 for 5. At this point, the odds for Team A to win will naturally lengthen — because their chances have gone down — and the odds for Team B will shorten.
Odds move quickly after the powerplay, when a new bowler comes on, or after a rain break. takabet's live betting interface updates odds in real time, so you can act on the moment.

A Few Useful Points for Cricket Betting
Betting is for entertainment — keeping the following in mind will make the experience better.
Know the pitch and weather conditions
Batters tend to do well on flat pitches in Dhaka, while a wet outfield after rain keeps scores lower. Checking the pitch report and weather forecast before choosing a market is sensible.
Do not limit yourself to one market
Alongside the match winner, you may sometimes have a clearer read on the toss, total runs or wicket markets. Trying different markets helps you understand the range of what betting has to offer.
Be careful with multi bets
Multi bets look attractive because the odds multiply, but one wrong selection loses the whole bet. Starting with fewer selections makes it easier to keep the risk in check.
Set your budget beforehand
Decide how much you are willing to spend before each session. Betting is for entertainment — avoid the urge to stake more to recover losses. Read the responsible gaming guidelines.
Do not rush in live betting
In-play odds change fast, so it is better not to place large bets on impulse. Observing the situation before deciding will make the betting experience more enjoyable.
Beyond betting, takabet also offers casino games — slots, live casino and more.
