bet taka Cricket Betting — Full Betting Options Across Every Format
BPL, IPL or international Test cricket — bet taka covers every cricket format with a wide range of betting markets. From match winner to top batsman, toss and live in-play, cricket betting has been made straightforward and enjoyable.
Cricket's Three Formats and Favourite Tournaments
T20 is the most popular format among cricket fans in Bangladesh — fast-paced play, big hits and tense final overs. The BPL draws excitement across the country every year; India's IPL draws equal interest from Bangladeshi fans. At bet taka, you can bet on both these tournaments as well as the T20 World Cup and other international series.
The fifty-over format in ODI cricket brings together strategy and patience. Bangladesh Tigers have recorded several memorable wins in this format, which has greatly increased interest among local fans. ODI betting markets are most active during ICC events.
Five-day Test cricket is the most traditional form of the game. There are three possible results — Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw — so the betting markets work differently from other formats. Odds shift over a long period, which makes live betting particularly interesting.
Beyond cricket, bet taka also offers football betting. Cricket and football betting differ somewhat — cricket has innings, over-based and partnership markets, while football focuses more on goal counts and half-time scores. Other sports generally offer match winner and handicap markets.
Popular Betting Markets — How Each One Works
At bet taka, several markets are open at the same time for a single cricket match. Below are seven of the most familiar markets explained simply.
Match Winner
Betting on which team will win the match — this is the most straightforward market. In T20 or ODI, only two outcomes are possible; in Test, a draw is also an option.
Toss Winner
This is decided before the match begins — which team will win the toss. It is entirely a game of chance, so odds are usually close to even.
Top Batsman
The core question here is who will score the most runs within a team. Knowing the team's usual batting order makes it easier to decide in this market.
Total Runs Over / Under
You bet on whether the total runs in a match or innings will be above or below a set number. Pitch conditions and the nature of the surface play an important role here.
Top Wicket-Taker
Betting on which bowler will take the most wickets. Pace bowler vs spinner — odds in this market shift based on pitch conditions.
Multi Bet
The results of multiple matches or markets are combined into a single bet. If all selections are correct the return is much higher — but if even one is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Handicap and Over-by-Over Betting
When two teams are very unevenly matched, the handicap market makes betting more balanced — by giving the weaker team an artificial head start or making the stronger team start at a disadvantage. In over-by-over betting, you can bet on how many runs will be scored or how many wickets will fall in a specific over.
How to Read and Understand Odds
At bet taka, odds are displayed in three different formats — Decimal, Fractional and American. All three express the same probability, just written differently. Two practical examples below make this clear.
A bet of ৳500 is placed on Team A to win. Odds in three formats: Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150. If the bet wins, you get back ৳1,250 (৳750 profit + ৳500 original stake). If the bet loses, ৳500 is gone.
Odds for Team B to win: Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400. American minus odds mean how much you need to stake to make a profit of 100 taka. Here a ৳500 bet returns ৳625 (৳125 profit).
Keep in mind that odds reflect the betting market's calculation — they are not a guarantee of the match result. In cricket, the situation can change at any moment.
A quick comparison of the three formats
- Decimal — most common in Europe and Bangladesh; return = stake × odds.
- Fractional — British style; the numbers show the ratio of profit to stake.
- American — plus means profit on a 100 taka bet; minus means how much you need to stake to make 100 taka profit.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Shift with Every Wicket
The greatest appeal of cricket is its unpredictability — every ball can bring something new. Live in-play betting at bet taka makes use of exactly that unpredictability. During a match, odds update after every delivery — a key wicket falling changes the odds immediately.
Say Team A is scoring well in the first 10 overs — their odds of winning will shorten as they become the favourite. If three wickets fall in the next over, Team B's odds may suddenly become more attractive. This dynamic environment is what gives live betting its distinct character.
Specific live markets are open for questions like how many runs will be scored by the end of the Power Play, how effective a spinner will be in the middle overs, and whether a six will come off the last few balls in the death overs. However, since live betting requires quick decisions, it is wise to keep a clear head and bet while watching the game.

Some Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
- Stick to a budget: Before each match, set a limit for yourself — an amount you are comfortable losing. Betting is for entertainment, not as a source of income.
- Understand the format before betting: T20 favours power hitters and pitch pace, ODI rewards partnerships, Test cricket sees pitch conditions change — each format has its own character.
- Try multiple markets: Look beyond the match winner market at over/under or top batsman as well — it gives you more options.
- Avoid emotional bets in live moments: Do not place your maximum bet right after a big six — assess the situation before deciding.
- Read the rules and terms: Before starting to bet, read the terms and conditions once — especially get a clear understanding of bonus wagering requirements.
- Play responsibly: If betting starts to feel like a burden, take a break. The responsible gaming page has support information.
Keep in Mind
Cricket betting is a form of entertainment. Odds and statistics do not guarantee a result — every match follows its own course.
Start Cricket Betting at bet taka
You can start with a deposit of just ৳500. Your first deposit comes with a 150% bonus up to ৳15,000 — meaning if you deposit ৳1,000 you get ৳1,500 in bonus, giving a total balance of ৳2,500; the wagering requirement on the bonus is ৳1,500 × 20 = ৳30,000.
Payment can be made via bKash, Nagad, Rocket and bank transfer. Withdrawals are generally completed within 10–45 minutes. Chat with the support team in Bangla 24/7.
Football and Other Sports Betting
Football betting is also popular at bet taka alongside cricket. European leagues have a strong following in Bangladesh — though the betting mechanics differ somewhat. In football, there are separate markets for number of goals, half-time score and corners in a ninety-minute match. Live betting is very active here too, just like in cricket — odds change as soon as a goal is scored.
For other sports like Kabaddi, tennis or basketball, match winner and handicap markets are generally available. The principle of betting is the same across these sports — once you know how to read odds, you can take part in any sport.
