Cricket Betting at takabet11 — bet on every match from BPL to the T20 World Cup
Cricket is Bangladesh's most talked-about sport. Every Tigers match, every BPL season, every international series — takabet11 offers separate markets to bet on each match. From live betting to multi bets, it is a way to stay more engaged throughout the cricket season.
Cricket formats and competitions — what betting looks like in each
T20
In this 20-over format, every ball counts. Results can shift quickly, making T20 the most active format for live betting. BPL, IPL, and the T20 World Cup are among the biggest tournaments played in this format.
ODI
50-over ODI cricket blends strategy with patience. How runs are scored in the middle overs shapes the course of a match, which is why over/under and top batsman markets get a lot of attention here.
Test Cricket
In a five-day Test, a draw is a normal result alongside a win, so three-way result markets are open. Pitch behaviour and weather play an important role throughout a series.
BPL, IPL and International Matches
The Bangladesh Premier League, or BPL, draws the attention of local fans every winter. With team rivalries and local player performances under close watch, there is plenty of action in the betting markets too.
IPL is a bigger stage — the best players in the world compete there, so the range of odds and markets is wider. Bangladesh Tigers matches at the T20 World Cup and ICC Champions Trophy attract the most interest from local bettors.
Beyond these tournaments, bilateral series — such as home or away Test series — also have active markets and offer the option to place longer-term bets.
Cricket, football and other sports betting — what sets them apart
In cricket, every over and wicket creates a chance for odds to shift — this is different from football because cricket has both more markets and longer match durations. Football's main markets are match result (1×2), corners, and number of goals; cricket, by contrast, has wickets, run rate, partnerships, and individual performance markets.
Other sports such as kabaddi or badminton mostly run match winner or handicap markets, but their market count does not come close to cricket. If you also want to follow sports beyond cricket, takabet11's virtual sports section lets you join matches of various kinds throughout the day.

Popular betting markets in cricket with examples
The markets below are commonly available for cricket matches at takabet11. A plain explanation is given for each — once you understand these, betting becomes much clearer.
Match Winner
You pick which team will win the match. There are only two outcomes in T20 and ODI (Tests also include a draw). Example: if you pick Team A, you win the bet only if Team A wins.
Toss Winner
A bet on which team wins the toss before the match starts. This market is completely separate from the match result. Example: if Team B's captain wins the toss, the bet pays; if not, the bet is lost.
Top Batsman
A bet on which batsman in a team will score the most runs in a given innings. Example: you pick a specific batsman from Team A's innings — if that player scores the highest, you win the bet.
Total Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs in a match will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. Example: the line is set at 160 — if you think the total will be 161 or more, bet the over.
Multi Bet
Multiple matches or markets are combined into a single bet. All selections must be correct for the bet to win. Returns are higher, but one wrong selection loses the entire bet.
First Wicket Partnership
An over/under bet on how many runs the two openers will put on together before the first wicket falls. Example: the line is 30 runs — if the pair scores 31 or more, the over wins.
How odds are written — decimal, fractional and American
Betting sites display odds in three different formats. All three convey the same information — only the way they are expressed differs. An example below explains all three formats.
| Format | How odds are written | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Total return is 2.5 times the amount staked (profit and stake returned together). |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳3 profit for every ৳2 staked. Stake is returned separately. |
| American | +150 | ৳150 profit on a ৳100 bet (positive number = underdog). |
Example 1 — a bet on a team to win
Team A to win, stake ৳1,000. Decimal odds 2.50, fractional 3/2, American +150.
If Team A wins, total return is ৳2,500 (profit ৳1,500 + stake ৳1,000).
If Team A loses, ৳1,000 is lost.
Example 2 — a bet on the favourite
Team B is the favourite. Decimal 1.25, fractional 1/4, American -400 (negative means you must stake that amount to win ৳100).
On a ৳1,000 bet, if Team B wins the return is ৳1,250 (profit of only ৳250).
Because the favourite's odds are lower, the profit is smaller — but the chance of winning is higher.
Live betting — odds shift with every wicket and over
While a match is in progress, odds move with every event. When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds lengthen; when a boundary is hit, they shorten. Placing bets during these moments is called live or in-play betting.
Quick runs in the powerplay push the target higher, wickets in the middle overs make the result uncertain, and which bowler is defending in the final over — all of these together affect the odds.
Live betting requires quick decisions. Setting a budget before you start and staying within it is the sensible approach. Betting is a form of entertainment — losing sight of that can make the experience unpleasant.

Some practical tips for cricket betting
Start by picking one format
T20, ODI and Test cricket each have a different pace. Focusing on the format you understand best makes it easier to make decisions.
Understand the market before you bet
Match winner is a straightforward market, but top bowler or first wicket partnership is more specific. If you do not fully understand how a market works, it is better not to rush into it.
Set your budget first
Decide how much you want to stake on each match before you start. Staying within that limit, even after a loss, keeps betting enjoyable rather than stressful.
Be careful with multi bets
Multi bets offer higher returns, but one wrong selection and the whole bet is gone. Sticking to two or three selections when starting out is the wiser move.
Be patient in live betting
Rather than placing all your bets in the first over, take time to read the situation. After the first powerplay, you will have a clearer picture of the pitch and run rate.
