Cricket Betting at takbet — the best odds experience across BPL, IPL and international matches
From T20 to Test, toss to top scorer — follow every moment of cricket more closely at takbet. Live betting, multiple markets and Bangladeshi payment methods, all on one platform.
Cricket Formats and Competitions
The three main cricket formats — T20, ODI and Test — each have their own pace and strategy. T20 matches wrap up in just a few hours, so odds shift quickly after every over. BPL is Bangladesh's most popular T20 league and generates huge interest every season. IPL is also very popular among Bangladeshi cricket fans, and international ICC tournaments including the T20 World Cup provide betting opportunities throughout the season.
The ODI format features a long 50-over contest with multiple turning points within the match. ODI betting on Bangladesh Tigers matches is particularly engaging because mid-innings situations can change very quickly. Test cricket is a five-day test of patience — pitch conditions, weather and team composition all play a significant role in the odds.
All three formats are available for betting at takbet, with separate markets for each competition. Among the less familiar games, you can also play card games like Callbreak Quick at takbet, though cricket remains the main attraction for betting here.
Football and Other Sports
At takbet, you can bet on football alongside cricket. Interest in European leagues and international football is growing steadily in Bangladesh. There is one key difference between cricket and football betting — cricket has very specific markets like toss, over-by-over runs and wickets, which do not exist in football. Football tends to feature markets like match winner, goalscorer and double chance.
Cricket live betting is also much more dynamic — odds take on a new shape after every ball, which makes it more fast-moving than football. Some markets are available for other sports like tennis and badminton as well, but cricket is the most familiar and popular choice among Bangladeshi users.
Popular Betting Markets
There are many markets to choose from when betting on cricket at takbet. Below is a brief overview of the seven most common ones.
Match Winner
Picking which of the two teams will win before the match. Example: if Team A wins, you receive a return based on the set odds.
Toss Winner
Betting on which team will win the toss before the match begins. This is a completely separate market from the match result.
Top Batsman
Picking in advance who will score the most runs for a specific team.
Total Runs Over/Under
Betting on whether the total runs scored in the full match or a specific innings will be above or below a set number.
Top Bowler
Betting on which bowler will take the most wickets in the match. Separate markets are available for bowlers from each team.
Multi Bet
Combining multiple markets from multiple matches into a single bet for the chance of a larger return. All selections must be correct to win.
Wicket and Maiden Market
Whether a wicket will fall or a maiden over will be bowled in a specific over — this type of small in-play market is especially popular during live betting.
How to Read Odds
There are three common odds formats — decimal, fractional and American. takbet generally uses decimal format, but understanding the other two is also useful.
The same odds in three formats (Example 1)
Say Team A will win, bet ৳1,000. Decimal odds of 2.25 equal fractional 5/4 and American +125. If the bet wins, the return is ৳2,250 (৳1,250 profit + ৳1,000 stake); if it loses, ৳1,000 is gone. All three formats show the same return amount — only the way they are expressed differs.
Odds for the favourite team (Example 2)
If Team B is the favourite, the odds are lower: decimal 1.80 = fractional 4/5 = American -125. American minus odds indicate how much you need to stake to win ৳100 profit. On a ৳1,000 bet, the return is ৳1,800 (৳800 profit). Lower odds mean less risk, but also less potential profit.

Live In-Play Betting
Live betting in cricket means placing bets while the match is in progress — odds are reset after every wicket or over. It differs from pre-match betting because you can make decisions based on how the match is unfolding.
When a strong batsman gets out, odds quickly swing in favour of the other team. This is the most important moment in live betting.
If big hits come in the first six overs, the run-rate market moves quickly. Once fielding restrictions are lifted, odds tend to settle again.
In T20, odds change at their fastest in the last five overs based on the runs still needed. Total runs markets are especially active during this period.
If rain interrupts a match, the target changes and live odds immediately reflect the new situation.
How to Stay Aware When Betting
Betting is a form of entertainment. Keeping the following points in mind helps make the experience more controlled.
Set a budget in advance
Decide how much money you will put into betting beforehand and do not go beyond that limit.
Do not concentrate on one market
Rather than placing all your bets on one market, spread them across different ones — match winner, toss and total runs separately.
Understand the format before betting
T20 and Test cricket odds work differently. Choose your markets according to the format being played.
Decide based on information, not emotion
Rather than staking more because you want your favourite team to win, make decisions based on match information.

Log in to takbetHow Multi Bet Works
In a multi bet, multiple selections are combined and you win the full bet only if every selection is correct. For example, taking decimal odds of 1.40, 1.70 and 1.80 across three different matches gives combined odds of 1.40 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.28 (approximately). That means a ৳100 bet returns ৳428 if all selections are correct — but if even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
This is why a multi bet carries higher risk even though the potential return is larger. Experienced bettors generally do not combine more than two or three selections at once. One advantage of multi bets in live betting is that selections can be added after a match has started, if the platform supports it.
Beyond cricket, you can also enjoy a range of games in the slots section at takbet, where a completely different experience awaits.
