Cricket Betting at beg taka — Bet on every match from BPL to the World Cup
T20, ODI and Test — bet across multiple markets including match winner, toss and top batsman in every format. Live in-play betting and multi bets — all in one place.
Three Formats of Cricket and Familiar Tournaments
Before starting cricket betting it helps to understand the formats, because the style of play and betting opportunities differ across each one.
T20
Only 20 overs per innings. The short format means results change quickly. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), IPL and the T20 World Cup — betting markets are most active in this format.
One-Day Match
In the 50-over format, top batsman, over/under runs and partnership betting are popular. International series and the World Cup are played in ODI format, where Bangladesh Tigers matches attract the most attention.
Test Cricket
A long five-day format. A draw is a valid result, so markets carry three options — Team A wins, Team B wins or the match is drawn. Test betting also includes session-based markets.
BPL, IPL and International Matches
For cricket fans in Bangladesh, BPL is a special event. Played on home soil, every match generates wide discussion. Interest in IPL among Bangladeshi fans is equally strong. Beyond these, the ICC T20 World Cup, Champions Trophy and bilateral series all offer active betting markets.
beg taka covers matches from these tournaments. Markets are available before the match starts, and during live betting odds continue to update while the match is in progress.
Football and Other Sports Betting
Alongside cricket, football betting is also available at beg taka. Football offers additional markets such as total goals in the match, both teams to score, and half-time/full-time result — markets that do not exist in cricket.
The key difference between cricket and football betting is the pace of the game. In T20, odds shift after every over, while in football each goal or red card can change the entire picture. In Test cricket the draw option means choosing from three outcomes, whereas T20 has only two.
If you want to play casino games alongside cricket betting, beg taka Casino has slots, live casino and many more options.
Popular Betting Markets in Cricket
Each market has a different style of bet. Below are seven familiar markets available at beg taka.
Match Winner
Picking which team will win the match is the simplest bet. T20 has two options (Team A or Team B), Test has three (Team A, Team B or draw). Example: Team A as favourite gets lower odds, Team B gets higher.
Toss
Simply pick which team will win the toss. The result is entirely random, so odds for both sides are usually close. It is popular with those who want a quick bet before the match begins.
Top Batsman
Pick which batsman will score the most runs in an innings. The player in best form in the lineup gets lower odds; the rest get higher. Knowledge of individual performance is useful here.
Total Runs Over/Under
The bookmaker sets a runs line, for example 165. You bet on whether the total runs will be above that (over) or below it (under). The nature of the track and pitch is an important factor here.
Multi Bet
Linking multiple matches or markets together creates a multi bet. All selections must be correct to win; if even one is wrong the entire stake is lost. Example: three markets at 1.40, 1.70 and 1.90 — combined odds approximately 4.52.
Top Bowler
Pick which bowler will take the most wickets in the match. This bet becomes more meaningful when a bowler has a good chance of getting opportunities. Consider whether the pitch favours pace or spin.
Handicap Betting
One team is given a virtual advantage to level the difference in strength. For example, if Team A is set at minus 20 runs, they effectively need to score 20 more runs. The result is expressed in words — no stake or return figures are given.
How to Understand Three Odds Formats
Odds on betting sites are written in three ways — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same probability; only the presentation differs. Concrete examples are given below.
More details on odds formats and different bet types are available on the beg taka Bet page.
| Format | Team A (Underdog) | Team B (Favourite) | Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.80 | Shows total return including stake. 2.25 means a ৳200 bet returns ৳450 in total. |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 4/5 | Shows the profit ratio. 5/4 means a ৳4 stake returns ৳5 profit — ৳9 in total. |
| American | +125 | −125 | Plus (+) shows profit on a ৳100 stake; minus (−) shows how much you need to stake to profit ৳100. |
Example 1 — Betting on the Underdog
You place a ৳200 bet on Team A to win. Decimal odds 2.25 = fractional 5/4 = American +125. If Team A wins you receive ৳450 (৳250 profit + ৳200 original stake). If Team A loses, ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — Betting on the Favourite
Team B is the favourite, odds 1.80 = 4/5 = American −125. A ৳200 bet returns ৳360 if Team B wins (৳160 profit). American minus odds means you need to stake ৳125 to profit ৳100.
Live In-Play Betting During the Match
In-play betting lets you place bets after the match has started. When a wicket falls the batting side's odds increase and the bowling side's odds decrease. After a boundary or six, odds shift again quickly.
In T20, if no wicket falls during the powerplay overs, odds move in favour of the batting side. If wickets fall in quick succession in the middle overs, the bowling side's odds can drop sharply. In the death overs the match can swing either way, so odds change with every ball.
It is better not to rush into large bets during live betting — understanding the market before deciding is the sensible approach. For advice on enjoying betting responsibly, visit beg taka's Responsible Gaming page.
Some Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is for entertainment. Following the tips below keeps the betting experience more organised.
- 01 Stick to your budget. Decide how much you will stake before each match. Never bet beyond your budget and avoid the temptation to place bigger bets to recover losses.
- 02 Start with one market. Beginners should start with the match winner market — it is the simplest. Betting on multiple markets at once increases confusion.
- 03 Be patient in live betting. Odds in in-play markets change every moment. Rushing can lead to poor decisions. Watch a few overs, assess the situation, then place your bet.
- 04 Be aware of multi bets. Returns on a multi bet can be higher, but if one selection is wrong the entire stake is lost. Linking three or more selections increases the risk.
- 05 Betting is for enjoyment. Enjoying the cricket match is the main purpose of betting. Staking too much in the hope of profit takes away the enjoyment of the match. Think of each bet as the cost of entertainment.
