Cricket Betting at taka bid — top markets from T20 to Test
BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup — bet on every big match at taka bid with markets ranging from match winner to live betting. Made for Bangladeshi cricket fans with local payment methods, support in Bangla and straightforward account management.
Cricket's three formats and popular tournaments
Cricket is played in three main formats — T20, ODI and Test. Each format has its own pace and strategy, and these differences play an important role in betting.
T20 is the shortest and fastest format — each team bats for just 20 overs. A wicket or a big-scoring over can shift the odds in an instant. BPL and IPL are both played in this format and are the most popular among Bangladeshi fans.
ODI is a 50-over match with a wider range of strategies. Bangladesh Tigers have put in strong performances in ODI cricket. ICC tournaments such as the World Cup and Champions Trophy are played in this format.
Test cricket is a five-day game — innings, weather and pitch conditions all have a major impact on betting. Test markets are also different in nature, for example end-of-day scores or total runs in an innings.
Alongside these formats, taka bid also offers betting on international series, T20 World Cup matches and bilateral series.
Differences in betting across cricket, football and other sports
Cricket betting markets are highly varied — each over, each wicket and each delivery can be a separate betting event. Football betting is usually based on three outcomes (win, draw or loss), but in cricket — especially T20 — limited overs mean there is no draw, so bets run on just two outcomes.
Football has markets for goal times, corners and cards, while cricket offers specialised markets such as run rate, partnerships or runs in a specific over. Other sports like badminton or tennis have simpler betting with far fewer markets.
taka bid offers betting on both cricket and football. For cricket fans, cricket markets are available in the most detail on this platform.
Alongside betting, taka bid also has live casino and slot games, giving you another option for entertainment between cricket seasons.

6 popular cricket betting markets
The most commonly used cricket betting markets are briefly explained below. Every example is fictional and for illustration only.
Match Winner
A bet on which of the two teams will win the match. In T20 and ODI there are just two possible outcomes. Example: Team A vs Team B — you think Team B will win, so you bet on Team B.
Toss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match begins. This is an entirely even-odds market — either team has roughly the same chance of winning. Many people like it because the result comes quickly.
Top Batsman
A bet on which player in a team will score the most runs. Example: from Team A's batting lineup, you pick the opening batter. If they end the innings with the highest score, the bet wins.
Total Runs — Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs scored will be above or below a set run line. Example: in a T20 match the line is 160.5 — you think the total will exceed 160, so you choose "Over".
Multi Bet
Combining bets on multiple matches or markets into one. If all selections are correct, the odds multiply and a larger return is possible. However, if even one is wrong the entire bet is lost. The risk is higher, so keeping the stake small is sensible.
Top Bowler and others
Markets such as which bowler will take the most wickets or who will be named player of the match — these specialist markets are more commonly found in T20. Bowling performance and pitch conditions are important factors here.
A simple guide to understanding odds formats
Betting odds can be written in three different formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same probability; only the way they are presented differs. Two practical examples are given below.
Example 1 — Team A to win, stake ৳500
These three formats represent the same odds — only the way they are written is different. A ৳500 stake returns ৳1,250 if the bet wins (৳750 profit + ৳500 stake back). If the bet loses, ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 — Team B is favourite, stake ৳500
Because Team B is the favourite, the odds are lower. A ৳500 stake returns ৳750 if the bet wins (৳250 profit). A negative American odds number shows how much you need to stake to win ৳100. Decimal format is the easiest because multiplying the stake by the odds gives the total return directly.
Odds formats at a glance
| Format | How it is written | How to calculate |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Stake × odds = total return |
| Fractional | 3/2 | Numerator/denominator × stake = profit |
| American (+) | +150 | That amount of profit on a ৳100 bet |
| American (−) | −200 | The stake needed to make ৳100 profit |
Decimal format is the easiest for beginners. taka bid shows decimal odds by default.
Live betting — odds shift the moment a wicket falls
Live or in-play betting lets you place bets in real time while a match is in progress. Odds update instantly when a wicket falls, the run rate suddenly increases or the powerplay ends.
Live betting is especially popular in T20 because the situation can change every over. Say Team A is 80/3 after 10 overs — if their chances of reaching the target drop, the opposing team's odds will shorten.
There is less time to decide in live betting, so having a prior sense of each team's strengths and weaknesses is helpful. Remember, betting is for entertainment — no bet comes with a guaranteed win.
| Situation | Effect on odds |
|---|---|
| 3 wickets fallen in the powerplay | Batting team's odds lengthen |
| 50+ runs needed off the last 5 overs | Bowling team's odds shorten |
| 2 wickets in the spinner's over | Run rate drops, odds shift sharply |
| Rain break (D/L method applies) | Odds are reset in line with the revised target |
Useful tips for cricket betting
Cricket betting is one form of entertainment — it is better not to treat it as a source of income. The tips below can help make betting more disciplined and enjoyable.
- Set a fixed budget and do not bet beyond it. Be prepared to lose every bet you place.
- If you have good knowledge of a particular market, focus on that. It is better not to spread bets across every market at once.
- Keep track of pitch conditions, weather and each team's recent form — these all affect match results.
- Do not rush in live betting. Take a moment to read the situation before making a decision.
- A multi bet requires multiple correct predictions — the risk is higher, so keep the stake low.
- If betting stops being enjoyable and starts causing stress, take a break. Read the responsible gaming guidelines.
Multi bet example
Say you make three separate selections across three matches — odds of 1.50, 1.60 and 1.90. The combined odds would be: 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.90 = 4.56 (approx).
A ৳100 stake returns ৳456 if all three win. But if even one loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
This calculation is for illustration only — actual odds and returns in real betting may differ.
