Cricket Betting at take bat — choose from the best markets from BPL to T20 World Cup
At take bat you can bet on every cricket format — T20, ODI or a long Test match. Match winner, top batsman, live in-play, multi bet — all in one place.
Three cricket formats — different feel, different bets
Before betting on cricket it helps to understand the format, because the pace of play differs and the odds shift accordingly.
T20 is the fastest format — a match is done in just 20 overs. Any ball can change the game, making it the most active format for live betting. BPL and IPL are played in this format, and it is the most familiar one for Bangladeshi fans.
ODI is a 50-over match — a big swing in the middle of the game can move the odds. Most T20 World Cup and ICC tournaments follow the ODI format.
Test matches are up to five days of cricket. Pitch conditions, weather and bowling conditions have a strong influence on the betting markets. Separate markets open for each session of an innings.
Cricket fans in Dhaka are most active during the BPL season. take bat offers betting markets for BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup and Bangladesh Tigers international matches.
Popular betting markets — how each one works
Cricket betting is not only about who wins the match — there are many types of markets to bet on. Below is a plain explanation of seven markets available on take bat.
Match Winner
Which team will win — this is the simplest market. There is no draw in T20 or ODI, so there are two options. Team A or Team B — pick one.
Most popularToss Betting
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match. It has no connection to the match result — it is a separate market purely on the toss.
Before the match startsTop Batsman
Who will score the most runs within a team. This market is bet on by considering the team's batting order and pitch conditions.
Batsman bettingTotal Runs Over/Under
Whether the total runs will go above or below a set run line — for example, whether total runs will exceed 160. On bowling-friendly pitches, under bets are more common.
Runs basedTop Bowler
Which bowler in a team will take the most wickets. Swing conditions matter for pace bowlers, and a dry pitch matters for spinners.
Bowling marketMulti Bet
Combining three or more bets on one coupon. If all selections are correct the odds multiply and the return increases significantly — but even one wrong selection loses the whole bet.
High returnInnings Runs or Wickets
How many runs will be scored in a set number of overs, or how many wickets will fall in the first 10 overs — these smaller markets are especially popular in live betting.

Odds are written three ways — what each one means
Betting odds come in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. take bat generally uses decimal format, but it is good to understand all three.
Three forms of the same price
Team A to win, ৳500 stake — decimal 3.00, fractional 2/1, American +200. If the bet wins, the return is ৳1,500 (৳1,000 profit + ৳500 original stake); if it loses, ৳500 is gone.
Favourite's price
Team B to win — decimal 1.50, fractional 1/2, American -200 (the minus sign shows how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit). On a ৳500 stake, a win returns ৳750 (৳250 profit).
Cricket vs other sports — how betting differs
On take bat you can bet on football and other sports alongside cricket. However, the type of markets differs for each sport.
| Category | Cricket (T20/ODI) | Football |
|---|---|---|
| Match result type | One of two teams wins (no draw) | Win/Draw/Loss — three options |
| In-play speed | Odds can change on every ball | Moves quickly when a goal is scored |
| Popular markets | Match winner, toss, top batsman, runs over/under | Match result, total goals, both teams to score |
| Betting season | Year-round — various tournaments | Season-dependent, with breaks |
| Handicap explanation | Handicap is given as a run margin | Handicap is given as a goal margin |
In football, because there are three possible outcomes (win/draw/loss), the odds on each option are generally a little higher. In T20 cricket there is no draw, so the odds spread is somewhat different. Both cricket and football are available together in the take bat Bet section.
Odds shift when a wicket falls — in-play betting
Live in-play betting lets you place bets while a match is in progress. Odds update with every wicket, every six and every over.
For example: Team A has scored 120 runs for 3 wickets in 15 overs — at that moment the odds favour Team A. But if 2 more wickets fall in the next over, Team B's odds drop sharply. This rapid change is what sets live betting apart.
In T20 matches, the Powerplay overs (1–6) and death overs (16–20) see the most odds movement. In ODI matches, a big partnership in the middle overs can shift the entire market.
In Test matches each session brings its own in-play markets. If the pitch behaviour changes from morning to afternoon, that directly affects the wicket markets for spinners or pace bowlers.
Live scores and betting markets can be seen together on the take bat app. Download the take bat App to access live markets from anywhere during a match.
Some practical advice on betting
Cricket betting is a form of entertainment. Keeping the following points in mind helps make the experience more controlled.
- Set a budget: Decide how much you will stake on each match beforehand. Betting is for entertainment — never use money needed for household expenses.
- Focus on one market: For new bettors, starting with the match winner market is straightforward. Placing bets across too many markets at once makes things complicated.
- Keep multi bets limited: Multi bets offer higher returns but also higher risk. Adding more than three selections also increases the chance of losing the whole bet.
- Do not rush in live betting: Odds change fast, so take a few seconds to think before acting. Do not stake large amounts in a hurry.
- Betting is entertainment — not a source of income: The outcome of any bet is uncertain. Place bets prepared for the possibility of losing. Read the Responsible Gaming guidelines for guidance on playing responsibly.
- Know the terms: Details on bonuses, wagering and withdrawal rules are on the Terms and Conditions page — worth reading once.
How a multi bet works — an example
Three separate bets on three matches are combined into one multi bet. The odds are 1.70, 1.80 and 1.90 respectively.
On a ৳100 stake, if all three selections are correct the return is ৳581. But if even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost. Multi bets offer the chance of a high return, but the risk is equally high.

Sports betting beyond cricket
Although take bat is primarily focused on cricket, you can also bet on football. Markets are available for international tournaments such as the Premier League, La Liga and the World Cup.
Football has three possible outcomes (1X2), where a draw is a separate betting option. Compared to cricket, the tempo of a football match is slower — but live odds shift quickly at the moment each goal is scored.
Alongside sports betting, take bat also offers live casino, slots and fishing games. Those who enjoy casino games as well as betting can find more details in the take bat Casino section.
take bat's VIP programme also offers weekly cashback. Cashback on net losses is paid each week across four tiers from Bronze to Platinum. Learn more about the take bat VIP programme and see the benefits of moving from Bronze to Platinum.
