Cricket betting at taka bajee — the best markets for BPL, IPL and T20 World Cup
From T20 to Test matches, bet on every moment of Bangladesh's most popular sport. Match winner, top batsman, live betting — all in one place.
Cricket formats and competitions
The three formats offer a different feel for cricket fans in Bangladesh. T20 is the fastest — a match ends in just 20 overs, with the chance of a six or a wicket on every ball. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL T20 matches attract the most attention in betting markets.
ODI, or one-day matches, have 50 overs per side, giving teams room to adjust their strategy. Betting markets for ICC World Cup and bilateral series ODI matches typically open well in advance.
Test cricket is a five-day contest. Since a draw is possible, markets run across three outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins, or a draw. Because T20 and ODI have no draw, their markets are somewhat simpler.
Besides the T20 World Cup, BPL and IPL, taka bajee offers a wide range of betting markets for Asia Cup and ICC Champions Trophy matches.
Football and other sports betting
taka bajee is not limited to cricket. Football betting is growing in popularity — especially during the Premier League, Champions League and World Cup. In football there are three outcomes (win, draw, loss), so odds are distributed differently from cricket.
The key difference between cricket and football is the pace of scoring. Fewer goals are scored in 90 minutes of football, so handicap or goal line markets are often more popular. In cricket, each over and wicket moves the market on its own.
If you are looking for entertainment beyond cricket, taka bajee Casino has everything from live casino games to slots. You will find a full range of baccarat, roulette and live dealer games there.
Cricket vs football
Cricket has over, wicket and innings-based markets; football is more popular for half-time, goals and card markets. Knowing how to bet on both sports makes it easier to switch depending on the season.

SpecialtyHow to read odds
Understanding odds properly before placing a bet is important. The same probability is expressed in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. The example below shows the same bet in all three formats.
| Format | Odds | Result (bet ৳200) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Total return if win: ৳500 (profit ৳300 + stake ৳200); if lost, ৳200 is gone. |
| Fractional | 3/2 | Same result — stake 2 parts to win 3 parts in profit. |
| American | +150 | Plus means that amount in profit. On a ৳200 bet, profit is ৳300. |
Now look at an example for a favourite. Team B is more likely to win, so their odds are lower:
| Format | Odds | Result (bet ৳200) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.50 | Total return ৳300 (profit ৳100). |
| Fractional | 1/2 | 1 part profit for every 2 parts staked. |
| American | -200 | Minus means how much you need to stake to make ৳100 in profit. Here, a ৳200 stake returns ৳100 profit. |
From these two examples it is clear that the decimal format is the simplest — just multiply your stake by the odds to get the total return. taka bajee generally shows decimal odds as the default.
In a multi bet, the odds of each selection are multiplied together. If three selections are 1.50, 1.60 and 1.90, the combined odds are 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.90 = 4.56 (approximately). On a ৳100 bet, if all selections win you get back ৳456; if any one loses, the entire ৳100 is lost. Read the terms and conditions for full rules.
Things to remember about odds
- Decimal odds are above 1.00 — the higher the number, the greater the potential profit.
- Fractional format is more common on British sites, but it expresses the same information.
- In American format, plus (+) means underdog, minus (−) means favourite.
- Odds change over time — especially in live betting.
Live betting — what happens when a wicket falls
Live or in-play betting suits cricket particularly well because the picture changes with every over and wicket. The odds before the match starts and the odds during play are often noticeably different.
Say Team A was scoring at a moderate rate and then lost two wickets in three overs — the match winner odds for Team A will rise immediately and Team B's odds will shorten. On the other hand, if a batter races to a quick half-century, the odds on the total runs over market will shift.
The required run rate in the last 5 overs, pitch conditions and the form of the batters still at the crease all affect live odds. Since live betting is available at taka bajee, you can join a market mid-match.

What to know before you start betting
Choose one market
Start by focusing only on the match winner market. Trying to understand all markets at once makes it harder to decide.
Set a budget
Decide in advance how much you are willing to spend for entertainment. Betting is a form of entertainment, not a way to earn income.
Compare odds
Look at the odds across different markets for the same match and understand which outcome is being given a higher probability.
Be patient with live betting
Live odds change quickly. Take time to read the situation before making a decision rather than rushing.

Bonus example
Multi bet and Cricket Dhamaka bonus
Multi bets (combining multiple selections) are especially popular in cricket. Say you pick three teams to win in three separate matches — decimal odds 1.50, 1.60 and 1.90. The combined odds will be 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.90 = 4.56. On a ৳100 bet, if all win you get back ৳456; if even one loses, the entire stake is gone.
taka bajee also offers the taka bajee Cricket Dhamaka bonus — deposit into any sports section and get a 30% bonus of up to ৳3,000 (15x wagering). Example: on a ৳2,000 deposit the bonus is ৳600, with wagering of ৳600 × 15 = ৳9,000.
