Cricket Formats and Tournaments

The biggest appeal of cricket betting is its variety — one sport played in three completely different formats, and the style of betting differs a little in each.

T20 ODI Test

T20 is the fastest format — the match is done within 20 overs and the pace of play can change on every ball. BPL and IPL are played in this format and it is the most popular among cricket fans in Bangladesh.

ODI, or one-day cricket, is a 50-over competition. ICC's major tournaments are often held in this format. Even if things slow down in the middle, the last 10 overs can turn the match around.

Test Cricket is a five-day test of patience. The result can be a draw, so the range of odds and markets is much wider. When wickets fall in quick succession or the pitch behaviour changes, odds move fast.

takabet covers BPL franchise matches, IPL high-profile games, and international matches from the T20 World Cup to ICC tournaments. Any Bangladesh Tigers match is available at takabet.

What kind of betting suits each format?

T20 / BPL / IPL
Match Winner, Toss, Six Count, Powerplay Runs — every over brings new markets.
ODI
Total Runs, Top Batsman, Innings Breakpoint — longer matches mean more markets.
Test
Match Result (Win/Draw/Loss), Innings Total, Top Bowler — odds shift many times over five days.

Beyond Cricket — Football and Other Sports

takabet Football and Other Sports Betting

While cricket is at the heart of takabet, fans in Bangladesh also follow football closely. If you want to bet on the English Premier League, UEFA Champions League, or international football, that option is available at takabet too.

The main difference between cricket and football betting is the number of possible outcomes. In limited-overs cricket there are only two outcomes (Team A wins or Team B wins), but in football there are three — home win, draw, or away win. This makes the odds in football's Match Winner market work a little differently. In Test cricket, a draw is also possible, so a three-outcome market applies there as well.

In football, Goal Totals (over/under 2.5 goals), Both Teams to Score (BTTS), and Half-Time/Full-Time double markets are popular. These markets do not exist in cricket — instead cricket has its own options such as over-specific betting, wicket betting, and Powerplay markets.

For casino games, takabet Casino has live casino and slots, offering a completely different type of entertainment beyond cricket.

Popular Betting Markets

Multiple markets are open on every match. Below is an introduction to seven commonly used markets.

Match Winner

Betting on which team will win the match. Example: if you bet on Team A and Team A wins, you get paid; if Team B wins, the bet is lost.

Simple · All Formats

Toss

Which team will win the toss before the match starts — the result of this market is known within just a few minutes.

Quick Result

Top Batsman

Which batsman will score the most runs in a specific innings — a bet on that batsman's expected performance.

Individual Performance

Total Runs Over/Under

Will the runs scored in a match or innings be more (over) or less (under) than a set number — you pick one of the two sides.

T20 · ODI · Test

Handicap

One team is given an artificial advantage or disadvantage to level the gap between the two sides. The team that comes out ahead after the handicap adjustment wins the bet.

Levels the Gap

Multi Bet

Adding three or more selections into a single bet — all of them must be correct for a payout. Example: three selections with odds of 1.40, 1.70 and 1.90 give combined odds of 4.52; a ৳100 bet returns ৳452.

High Return · High Risk

Next Wicket / Over Runs

In live betting — at what score will the next wicket fall, or how many runs will be scored in a specific over. This market stays active during the match.

How to Read and Understand Odds

Betting odds are written in three different formats: Decimal, Fractional, and American. The same probability is expressed differently in each format. The examples below show this:

Format Team A (Win) Team B (Favourite)
Decimal 2.50 1.25
Fractional 3/2 1/4
American +150 −400
Example 1 — Team A, ৳1,000 bet
Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150. If the bet wins, total return is ৳2,500 (৳1,500 profit + ৳1,000 stake). If the bet loses, ৳1,000 is lost.
Example 2 — Team B (Favourite), ৳1,000 bet
Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American −400. American minus odds show how much you need to stake to make a ৳100 profit. A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,250 (৳250 profit).

Cricket Match Winner — a simple example

In limited-overs cricket there is no draw, so there are only two odds. For example: Team A 2.10, Team B 1.75.

৳1,000 bet on Team B
৳1,750
If Team B wins, return is ৳1,750 (৳750 profit)
If Team A wins
৳1,000
the entire stake is lost

These are illustrations only — Team A/Team B are not specific teams, and this is not a guarantee of future returns.

Live In-Play Betting — from inside the match

takabet Live In-Play Betting Wickets and Overs
Live Betting Active

You can still place bets after the match has started — that is live or in-play betting. At takabet, odds on cricket matches update after every ball. When a wicket falls, an over ends, or a big six is hit, the odds change straight away.

Say Team A has lost two wickets already in the Powerplay — Team B's odds of winning may shorten, meaning the payout drops too. Or if Team B needs 15 runs off the last over with two wickets remaining, Team A's odds of winning will naturally shorten.

In live markets you have to make quick decisions as the match moves along. In pre-match betting there is time to analyse; in live betting every moment can shift the situation. In-play betting adds to the entertainment, but it is always worth remembering that it is entertainment — not a reliable source of income.

Following the responsible betting guidelines keeps the experience enjoyable.

Useful Tips for Cricket Betting

  • Choose markets based on the format
    Total Runs and Six Count are good markets in T20; Wicket and session-wise markets are more useful in Test. Each format has its own rhythm.
  • Keep pitch and conditions in mind
    On a spin-friendly pitch, wicket markets move more. A fast outfield means more runs. Analysing conditions makes market selection easier.
  • Set a budget before you start
    Setting a total betting budget means a big loss on one match does not wipe out your entire balance. Rather than putting your whole budget on a single bet, split it into smaller bets.
  • Do not rush after a loss
    When a bet loses, placing more bets to try to recover it is not a good idea. Cricket betting is entertainment, not something to stress over.
  • Be careful with multi bets
    Multi bets offer higher returns, but if even one selection is wrong the entire bet is lost. Adding more than three selections to a multi bet increases the risk quickly.
  • Use the app for live updates
    takabet's Android and iOS apps are available through official channels. For live betting on mobile, the takabet App makes it easy to follow matches from anywhere.

Common Questions and Answers

T20 matches finish in just a few hours and the situation changes quickly, so live markets stay more active. In ODI, with two innings across 50 overs, there are more markets and many odds are reassessed after the innings break. In T20, Powerplay and Death Over markets are more popular, while in ODI, Total Runs and Top Batsman markets get more action.

Yes, both are T20 franchise cricket, so the market types are almost identical — Match Winner, Toss, Top Batsman, over-wise runs. BPL is Bangladesh's own franchise league, while IPL is held in India. Both are available at takabet in pre-match and live markets.

In live betting, odds update in real time after every event in the match. When a wicket falls or a big over happens, the situation shifts and a team's chances of winning go up or down — the odds move immediately to reflect that. This is what sets live betting apart from pre-match betting.

Generally, a multi bet requires selections from different matches or events. Two related markets from the same match (for example, Match Winner and Top Batsman) cannot be combined in a multi bet because they are dependent on each other. It is straightforward to build a multi bet using selections from different matches.

The simple rule for reading fractional odds (e.g. 3/2): the number on the left is the profit, the number on the right is the stake. So 3/2 means ৳3 profit for every ৳2 staked. On a ৳1,000 bet the profit is ৳1,500 and the total return is ৳2,500. 1/4 means ৳1 profit for every ৳4 staked — these are favourite odds, so the profit is smaller but the chance of winning is higher.
