Cricket's Three Formats and Popular Competitions
To understand cricket betting, you first need to know how the three main formats differ. T20 is the fastest format — each team gets just 20 overs, so the pace and outcome of a match can change very quickly. This format is the most popular in Bangladesh, and BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) brings its own excitement every season.
ODI, or one-day cricket, involves a 50-over contest with a much greater balance of tactics. Compared to T20, odds shift more often during an innings, which means more opportunities for live betting. Test cricket is a five-day match — a draw is possible, so three outcomes have three separate odds, which is not the case in T20 or ODI.
IPL is India's biggest T20 league and is widely followed by fans in Bangladesh. You can also bet on various markets at taka bt for the T20 World Cup, ICC Champions Trophy and Asia Cup.
T20, ODI and Test — the betting experience differs across all three formats.
How Betting on Football and Other Sports Differs
Three outcomes in football
In the match winner market for football, there are usually three outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw. This three-way market calls for a different approach compared to T20's two-outcome structure.
More markets in cricket
In cricket, alongside the match winner, you can find many more markets including toss, top batsman, total runs and wickets. Every over creates new opportunities.
Variety in other sports
Tennis, badminton and kabaddi tend to offer more straightforward head-to-head markets. Understanding the rules and format of each sport before betting makes the experience more rewarding.
At taka bt you can also bet on football, tennis and other sports besides cricket. In the context of Bangladesh, however, cricket brings the most markets and live options. For details on all betting features, you can visit the taka bt Bet page.
Popular Betting Markets and Examples
Cricket betting is not just about "who will win" — the variety of markets is what makes it interesting.
| Market | Brief Example |
|---|---|
| Match Winner | In a T20 match, Team A or Team B — whichever scores more runs batting wins. There are usually two outcomes here. |
| Toss Winner | Bet on the toss result before the match starts — a pure fifty-fifty chance. |
| Top Batsman | Which batter will score the most runs in an innings — one player is picked from within a team. |
| Total Runs Over/Under | Will total runs be above or below 160 — the bookmaker sets a line and the bettor chooses a side. |
| When Will the First Wicket Fall | Within how many overs of the innings will the first wicket fall — this market is popular when strong pacers are playing. |
| Multi Bet | Combining winners from multiple matches into one bet — if all selections are correct, the odds multiply and the return increases, but a single wrong pick loses the whole bet. |
| Handicap | The weaker team is given a notional run advantage to level the market — who comes out ahead is measured by the run margin. |
Place bets on multiple markets at the same time.
How to Read Odds in Three Formats
The numbers on a betting site may look unfamiliar at first. The same odds can actually be written in three different ways.
The same odds in three formats:
With a ৳200 bet, if Team A wins you get back ৳500 (৳300 profit + ৳200 stake). If they lose, ৳200 is gone.
The favourite's odds are usually lower:
American minus (-125) means you need to stake 125 to win 100. With a ৳200 bet, if Team B wins you get back ৳360 (৳160 profit).
The decimal format is the simplest to calculate — just multiply your stake by the odds to find the total return. In fractional format, the numerator is the profit and the denominator is the stake. In American format, a plus (+) shows how much you profit on a 100 stake, while a minus (-) shows how much you need to stake to profit 100.

Odds change every over — in live betting, timing is everything.
Live Betting — Odds Change As the Match Goes On
LIVE In-play betting is the most fast-moving part of cricket betting. The odds that exist before a match starts can shift completely when a wicket falls or the run rate picks up.
Say Team A is batting and has lost 3 wickets in 7 overs — at that moment Team B's odds to win will shorten, as they are in a stronger position. Then if a big batter comes in and starts hitting fours and sixes in the next over, the odds will move again quickly.
In ODI, once the powerplay ends, fielding restrictions are lifted, which affects the run rate — and that is reflected in the live odds for the "total runs" market. In Test cricket, even a rain break or a change in pitch conditions can cause large shifts in live markets.
Live betting requires split-second decisions — so having a prior understanding of the match conditions and team strengths makes it easier to act at the right moment.
Some Useful Habits for Cricket Betting
Betting is entertainment — there is no guarantee of profit. That said, following a few habits keeps the experience more organised and controlled.
- Set a budget first: Decide how much you will put on each match before you start. Place a small portion of your total budget on each bet, not everything on one match.
- Understand the format before choosing a market: Total runs markets in T20 fluctuate more, and draws are possible in Test — keep the format in mind before picking a market.
- Be careful with multi bets: Combining many matches makes the return look larger, but one wrong result loses the entire bet. It is better to keep multi bets to small amounts.
- Avoid rushing in live betting: Odds move fast during a match, so rather than placing large bets on impulse, take a calm look at the situation before deciding.
- Take breaks: Betting for long stretches without a break reduces your ability to make sound decisions. Rest and bet responsibly.

Keep in Mind
Cricket betting is an entertainment activity. Wins and losses are not predetermined, and no method guarantees consistent profit. Set a clear budget and enjoy the game within it.

A multi bet or accumulator combines several predictions into one bet. The odds of each selection are multiplied together, so the return can be much higher. However, if any single selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Bets on three separate matches: decimal odds 1.70, 1.80 and 1.90
Combined odds: 1.70 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 5.81 (approximate)
With a ৳100 bet, if all three are correct you get back ৳581. If even one is wrong, you lose the full ৳100.
Multi bets become popular during BPL or IPL when multiple matches are on. However, the more selections you add, the lower the chance of all of them being correct — so combining more than 2 or 3 is worth thinking carefully about.
Odds multiply in a multi bet, and so does the return.
