Three Formats of Cricket Betting and Major Tournaments
In Bangladesh, cricket is more than a sport — it is passion. Before betting on cricket at takabet, it helps to understand the three formats, because the nature of betting differs in each.
T20 is the fastest format — innings end in 20 overs, so the run rate fluctuates more and the situation changes with every ball. The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) and IPL are the two tournaments that get the most attention among bettors in the country. During the T20 World Cup, interest reaches its peak.
ODI format involves 50-over matches where strategy plays a bigger role. You can adjust your bets based on how the middle overs are being played. Test matches last five days — here, pitch conditions, wickets and weather gradually influence odds. Betting across the three formats is therefore a completely different experience.
Alongside cricket, takabet also offers betting on football, tennis and other sports — though their market and odds structure differs from cricket, as discussed in the following section.
Popular Betting Markets with Examples
At takabet, you can bet on a cricket match across various markets, not just the winner. Below is a straightforward explanation of seven common markets.
Match Winner
Pick which team will win the match. Team A vs Team B — if you choose Team A and they win, your bet is successful.
Simplest MarketToss Winner
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. This has no direct connection to the match result.
Quick ResultTop Batsman
Bet on which batsman will score the most runs in the match. The highest scorer in the team's innings determines the bet outcome.
Analysis-BasedTotal Runs — Over/Under
takabet sets a runs target, for example 160. You decide whether the total runs will be more (over) or less (under).
Score-BasedMulti Bet
Combining multiple bets multiplies the odds and increases the potential return — but all bets must win; losing even one means losing the whole stake.
Higher Return, Higher RiskFirst Over Runs
Bet on how many runs will be scored in the first over of an innings. The openers' form and the bowler's pace play a big part here.

Who will be the standout performer? This market has many candidates, so odds are usually higher, but picking the right one is difficult.

How to Read Odds — Explanation of Three Formats
Odds on takabet are displayed in three formats. Knowing all three makes it easier to understand any market, especially if you are a new bettor.
Decimal format is the simplest — odds × stake = total return. Decimal is the default on takabet's interface, but you can change it to your preference.
Differences Between Cricket and Other Sports Betting
The basic principle of betting is the same across cricket, football and other sports, but there are differences. Football usually has three possible outcomes — home win, draw, or away win. But in T20 or ODI cricket there is no draw, so you are generally choosing between two outcomes. For this reason, cricket match winner odds are structured slightly differently from football.
Tennis also has no draw, so its structure is closer to cricket. In Test cricket, however, the possibility of a draw splits odds three ways.
Football's goal markets (such as over/under 2.5 goals) and cricket's runs markets work on the same idea — whether a specific number will be exceeded or not. However, since run totals in cricket are much larger, the betting margin is slightly higher. In multi bets, selections from different sports can be combined, which increases the odds further.
| Sport | Possible Outcomes | Draw Possible? | Popular Markets |
|---|---|---|---|
| T20 / ODI Cricket | 2 | No | Match Winner, Toss, Total Runs |
| Test Cricket | 3 | Yes | Match Result, Top Batsman |
| Football | 3 | Yes | Match Result, Goals Over/Under |
| Tennis | 2 | No | Match Winner, Set Betting |
Three selections with decimal odds of 1.40, 1.50 and 1.90 — combined odds: 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.90 = 3.99 (approximately). On a ৳100 stake, if all three win, return is ৳399. But if even one loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
Cricket has over-by-over betting opportunities, which keeps live betting more active. In football, half-time/full-time markets are more commonly used.
Live Betting — Odds Shift with Wickets and Overs
In-play betting on takabet is one of the most engaging aspects of cricket. You can place bets after the match has started, and odds keep changing at every moment.
For example, suppose Team A has scored 120 runs in 15 overs and is in a strong position. At this point, Team A's odds of winning will shorten and Team B's odds will lengthen. But if two wickets fall in the next over, the situation reverses and the odds update again.
Bowling changes, the end of the powerplay, a rain break, or the application of the Duckworth-Lewis method — live odds respond quickly to all these events. That is why staying focused during live betting matters.
Live betting on takabet works just as smoothly on mobile. The takabet App lets you view live scores and odds together, which helps you make quick decisions during a match.
Practical Betting Tips
Betting is a form of entertainment. Following these tips can make the experience better.
- Choose markets based on the match format — total runs markets are active in T20, while match result markets are more common in Test.
- Multi bets may increase odds, but you need to win all selections — start with fewer selections.
- In live betting, take time to read the situation rather than rushing into a decision.
- Decide in advance how much you will bet in each session and stick to that limit.
- Placing a large bet impulsively after a win is not a wise move.
- To learn more about responsible betting, read the Responsible Gaming page.
