Cricket Betting at taka bet11 — A Complete Guide to T20, ODI and BPL
Opportunities to bet on every cricket format, an introduction to popular markets, and a straightforward explanation of odds — all in one place.
Bet across different markets in cricket matches
Cricket is Bangladesh's most popular sport, and interest in cricket betting continues to grow. At taka bet11 you can bet on three main formats — T20, ODI, and Test.
T20 is the fastest format. Each team plays just 20 overs, so match results can change very quickly. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are the biggest tournaments in this format and are well known to cricket fans in Bangladesh.
ODI, or One-Day International, gives each team 50 overs. Most ICC tournament matches and bilateral series are played in this format. Cricket fans always follow the Bangladesh Tigers' ODI performances closely.
Test cricket is the longest format — a five-day match with two innings each. A draw is a possible result here, which makes the betting market a little different. Over such a long match, weather, pitch conditions, and session-by-session changes make betting more complex.
The T20 World Cup and ICC tournaments provide excitement throughout the year. For all these competitions, taka bet11 opens various markets where you can bet both before the match starts and while it is in progress.
Betting opportunities across football and multiple other sports
Alongside cricket, you can also bet on football at taka bet11. Football matches have a slightly different set of outcomes — there are three possible results: home team win, away team win, and draw. In cricket's T20 or ODI format there is generally no draw (a tie is rare), so those markets focus on two outcomes.
Goal-count markets are very popular in football — for example, whether the total number of goals in a match will be above or below a set number. In cricket the same idea appears as the total runs over/under market, which is covered in detail below.
Among other sports, tennis, badminton, and kabaddi appear in the markets from time to time. Each sport has its own structure, so the way you bet differs too. The core principle is the same, though — betting on the likelihood of a specific result at a set odds.
Cricket betting offers several types of markets. Below is a brief introduction to seven of the most familiar ones.
Which team wins the match
A bet on which team will win the match. For example — Team A vs Team B, you think Team B will win, so you bet on Team B. If Team B wins at the end of the match, your bet is successful.
Toss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. This is entirely down to chance, so the odds are usually roughly equal for both teams.
Highest run-scorer
A bet on which player from a given team will score the most runs in a specific innings or across the whole match. You can consider this market by looking at the current form of a team's leading batters.
Total Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs in a match or a specific innings will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. This market is especially popular in T20 matches.
Top wicket-taker
A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets. Pitch conditions and weather affect bowling, so the odds in this market can shift.
Bet on multiple selections
Multiple match or market outcomes are combined into a single bet. All selections must be correct for the whole bet to win. The multi bet detailed guide contains a full explanation of this method.
First innings result
Separate markets are available for the first innings only — covering which team leads, runs scored, or wickets taken. These markets are settled on the first innings result alone, without waiting for the full match outcome.
Odds in betting are written in three different formats — decimal, fractional, and American. All three express the same probability; only the presentation differs. Below, all three formats are shown together using one example.
| Format | Team A win odds | Return on ৳200 bet |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | ৳500 (profit ৳300 + stake ৳200) |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳500 (profit ৳300 + stake ৳200) |
| American | +150 | ৳500 (profit ৳300 + stake ৳200) |
In the example above, if you bet ৳200 on Team A to win and Team A wins, you get back a total of ৳500 — that includes ৳300 profit and your original ৳200 stake. If Team A loses, you lose the full ৳200.
Now look at a slightly different example — the odds for the favourite. Say Team B's odds of winning are 1.25 in decimal, 1/4 in fractional, and -400 in American. A ৳200 bet here returns a total of ৳250 (৳50 profit + ৳200 stake). In the American format, the minus sign (-400) means how much you need to bet to make ৳100 profit — in this case ৳400.
Decimal odds are the simplest — just multiply your stake by the odds and the result is your total return.
The relationship between odds and probability
The higher the odds, the less likely the market considers that outcome to be — and the higher the return if it wins. The lower the odds (1.10, 1.15), the more likely the outcome is considered to be — but the profit if it wins is smaller.
Betting is a form of entertainment. Analysing odds can be an enjoyable experience, but no outcome is ever certain. Always bet within your means.
Real-time odds changes while the match is in progress
In-play or live betting means you can place bets even after the match has started. In cricket, each wicket taken or big boundary hit can shift the odds in an instant.
Say Team A is behind in the 12th over of a T20 match — at that point Team B's win odds will be lower and Team A's win odds will be higher. If Team A suddenly takes two wickets in a row, the situation changes and the odds move accordingly.
Over-by-over markets, next wicket, next ball outcome — these additional markets are available in live betting. This is where you have the opportunity to make decisions based on how the match is unfolding.
Session-based betting is popular in Test matches — for example, how many wickets will fall or how many runs will be scored in a particular session. In ODIs, odds move noticeably during the powerplay overs.
Live betting requires quick decisions because odds are constantly updating. Making the right call within the available time is the key feature of this type of betting.
- Understand the format before you bet. The pace of play and likely outcomes differ across T20, ODI, and Test. A strategy that works in one format may not work in another.
- Set a budget. Decide how much you are willing to spend before each betting session and stay within that limit. To learn more about responsible betting, read the responsible gaming guidelines.
- Compare odds. Look at the different options within the same market. Decimal odds are easy to compare directly — a higher number means a potentially higher return.
- Use multi bets carefully. Adding more selections increases the potential return, but if any one selection is wrong the whole bet loses. For detailed multi bet strategy, see the multi bet guide.
- Do not rush in live betting. Even when odds are changing fast, take the time to assess the situation properly before deciding. Rushed bets are often ones you will regret.
- Treat betting as entertainment. Betting can add to your enjoyment of cricket, but it is not a way to earn income. Winning and losing are both normal.
