Cricket Betting at taka vit — Best Markets from BPL to the T20 World Cup
Bet on Bangladesh's most popular sport — live odds, multiple markets and easy payments across domestic BPL and international T20, ODI and Test matches.
The three formats of cricket and their tournaments
T20, ODI and Test — the style of betting differs for each format, so it helps to have a clear understanding of all three.
T20
Just 20 overs per side — the match wraps up within a few hours. Odds shift quickly, making it the most popular format for live betting. BPL, IPL and the ICC T20 World Cup are the three tournaments that get the most attention from bettors in Bangladesh.
One Day International
Each side plays 50 overs. The game moves a bit slower than T20, but offers a wider range of markets — odds on innings runs, partnerships and top batsman remain stable for longer.
Test Cricket
In this five-day format, a draw is a possible result, so the betting market offers three options — Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw. Pitch and weather conditions have the greatest influence here, and odds can shift significantly over the course of the match.
BPL, IPL and the International Stage
Bangladeshi fans naturally see BPL as the closest tournament to home — teams from Dhaka and other cities around the country compete in the league. IPL is also popular here; alongside India's top players, Bangladeshi players take part as well. Major events like the T20 World Cup and the ICC Champions Trophy offer the widest range of odds and the greatest number of markets.
taka vit covers matches from each of these tournaments and updates the odds on every market regularly.
How cricket betting differs from football and other sports
Beyond cricket, football is also popular among bettors on taka vit. However, the betting structure of the two sports is quite different. Football has a fixed duration — 90 minutes, with extra time if needed. In cricket, the balance of overs and wickets shifts the situation constantly, so in-play markets are far more active.
Handicap markets are more common in football, where odds are set by giving one team a notional goal advantage or disadvantage. In cricket, the same idea works as a run handicap. Betting is a form of entertainment — it is a good idea to set your budget before placing any bet on any sport. Read the responsible gaming guide to learn more.
Popular Betting Markets
In any match, you can bet on far more than just the win or loss result — there are many types of markets available.
Match Winner
The most straightforward market — pick which team will win the match. Two options in T20 and ODI (Team A or Team B), three in Test (win, loss or draw).
Most PopularToss Market
Bet on the outcome of the toss before the match starts — which team will win it. Since it is settled before the match begins, it is a quick option.
Pre-MatchTop Batsman
Pick which batsman will score the most runs in a specific innings or across the whole match. Separate markets are usually offered for each team.
Performer MarketTotal Runs Over/Under
A specific number is set — choose whether the total runs in the match will be higher (over) or lower (under) than that number. Example: total runs 320 over/under — if you think the runs will exceed 320, bet on the over market.
Runs MarketMulti Bet
Combine selections from multiple matches. If all selections are correct, the odds multiply and the return is larger. Three selections at 1.40 × 1.80 × 1.90 give combined odds of 4.79 — a ৳100 bet returns ৳479, but if even one selection loses, the entire bet is lost.
High ReturnFirst Wicket Market
Bet on which over the first wicket will fall in, or which bowler will take it — these markets are most active at the start of an innings. Live odds here change quickly.
Special MarketHow odds are written and read
The same odds can be written in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. taka vit generally uses the decimal format, but knowing all three is useful.
| Format | Team A (Win) | Team B (Win) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.25 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 1/4 |
| American | +150 | -400 |
Example 1 — Team A wins
Decimal odds of 2.50 on Team A to win = fractional 3/2 = American +150. A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳2,500 if correct (৳1,500 profit + ৳1,000 stake); if it loses, ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite Team B
Team B is the favourite — decimal 1.25 = fractional 1/4 = American -400. A negative American odds figure means how much you need to stake to win 100 in profit. A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,250 (৳250 profit).
Why is decimal simpler?
Decimal odds make it easy to work out total return — just multiply your stake by the odds. Those used to fractional or American formats can choose whichever they prefer. Answers to more questions about different odds formats are available in the FAQ section of taka vit.
Live In-Play Betting — while the match is on
In-play betting in cricket means placing bets while the match is in progress. When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds for chasing the target go up immediately, while the bowling team's odds of winning shorten. In the same way, a six or a boundary can reverse the situation instantly.
Example of over-by-over odds movement (illustrative)
The numbers are for illustration only — to show how live odds move.
Over-by-Over Odds
After each over, the scoreboard updates and the odds change accordingly. A maiden over gives the bowling side an advantage, while a 15-run over improves the batting team's odds.
The Impact of Wickets
A key top-order wicket increases the pressure to maintain the run rate. In-play market odds move quickly at these moments — bettors make immediate decisions in this situation.
Some practical tips before betting
Set your budget first
Betting is a form of entertainment — set aside a fixed amount as your budget and do not go beyond it. It is best not to try to recover losses by placing a larger bet next time.
Focus on one market
New bettors often place bets across many markets at once. Starting with simpler markets like match winner or over/under leads to fewer mistakes.
Adjust your approach for each format
The fast pace of T20 betting and the longer duration of Test betting each require different patience and observation. Start with the format you understand best.
Watch how odds move
Compare odds before the match starts with in-play odds — a sudden large shift tells you the market is anticipating a significant change.
Be careful with multi bets
Multi bets with three or more selections can offer a large return, but the risk is also greater. Every selection must be correct — if even one loses, the entire bet is lost.
