Cricket betting at taka baje — bet on all formats from BPL to the T20 World Cup
Cricket is Bangladesh's favourite sport, and taka baje gives you a closer way to follow it. From match winner to live betting — all markets in one place.
Cricket's three formats and popular tournaments
In Bangladesh, cricket is more than a game — it's a feeling. From the grounds in Dhaka to the tea stalls, talk about the Tigers never stops. When betting at taka baje, it helps to understand the three formats — T20, ODI and Test — separately.
T20: The fastest format. The situation can change every over. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are the most popular T20 tournaments. Interest in the T20 World Cup among Bangladesh supporters runs very high.
ODI: This 50-over format tests tactics and endurance. ICC tournaments and bilateral series are the main ODI stages. Bowling spells and partnerships create good betting opportunities.
Test: The most complex format, played over five days. Because a draw is possible, the betting markets are more varied. Alongside the match result, innings totals and session-based markets are widely used here.
Betting on football and other sports
More than just cricket
Cricket is taka baje's biggest sports section, but football has also earned a strong place here. Markets for the English Premier League, Champions League and the FIFA World Cup are all available at taka baje. In football, a draw is a possible result — so there are three markets (home/draw/away), compared to just two in limited-overs cricket.
Football has separate markets for number of goals, penalties and corners. Cricket features more runs, wickets and over-based markets. The market types differ between the two sports, but the core principles of betting — understanding odds and staying within your budget — are the same.
Betting on tennis, badminton and esports is also available. Among Bangladeshi supporters, though, cricket and football get the most attention.

Popular cricket betting markets
What you can bet on in each market
Match Winner
Bet on which of the two teams will win. In T20 and ODI there are only two outcomes — Team A or Team B. Example: if Team A's odds are 2.10, a ৳500 bet returns ৳1,050 if they win.
Toss Winner
Bet on which team wins the toss before the match starts. This is a completely separate market — it is not directly linked to the match result.
Top Batsman
Bet on who will score the most runs in an innings or across the whole match. This lets you bet on a specific player's performance regardless of which team wins.
Total Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the total runs in an innings will be over or under a set number. Example: if the line is set at 160 runs, choosing over means you win if more than 160 runs are scored.
Top Bowler
Bet on who will take the most wickets. Whether it's a pace bowler or a spinner, pitch conditions matter a lot in this market.
Multi Bet (multiple selections)
Combine multiple matches or markets into one bet. The odds multiply together — so the return is higher, but if one selection is wrong, the whole bet loses. For more details, read the betting tips guide.
How to read and understand odds
Betting odds are written in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. taka baje generally uses the decimal format, but knowing all three makes it easier to work on any platform.
| Format | Team A wins | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | ৳1,000 bet returns ৳2,250 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | Same bet, different expression |
| American | +125 | ৳100 profit on a winning ৳125 stake |
Example 1 — Team A wins, bet ৳1,000: decimal 2.25 = fractional 5/4 = American +125. If you win, you get back ৳2,250 (including ৳1,250 profit); if you lose, ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — Team B is the favourite, decimal 1.25 = fractional 1/4 = American −400. A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,250 (৳250 profit). A negative American odds figure shows how much you need to stake to win ৳100.
Remember — higher odds mean a lower chance of winning, lower odds mean a higher chance. Odds always change.
Live betting — place bets while the match is on
Live betting lets you place bets after the match has started. In cricket this is especially useful because the situation changes with every wicket, every over and at the end of each Powerplay.
Say Team A scores only 50 runs in the first 10 overs and has lost 3 wickets — Team B's odds drop, and Team A's rise. If you still believe in Team A, betting at that moment gives you better odds than you would have got before the match.
In the death overs (16–20), a sudden big hit can shift the whole momentum. In the live market, next wicket, next over runs and bowler markets change fast. Watch these moments carefully.
Live betting is even easier on the taka baje mobile app because the scorecard and markets are on the same screen.
Some useful habits for betting
These help keep your betting controlled and enjoyable
Set a budget first
Decide how much you will spend in each session before you start. Don't go beyond that amount — betting is for entertainment, not as a source of income.
Focus on one market
Start with straightforward markets like match winner or total runs. Spreading bets across many markets at once splits your attention.
Understand the pitch and weather conditions
In day-night matches, dew can make batting easier later in the game. A pace-friendly pitch gives fast bowlers an advantage. Factor this information in before you bet.
Be careful with multi bets
Multi bets offer higher returns but carry higher risk. If you make three selections, all three must be correct — one wrong pick and the whole bet is lost. For more details, go to the betting tips page.
Play responsibly
It's better not to try chasing losses after a losing run. Read the responsible gaming guidelines and keep betting as entertainment.
Interested in casino games too?
Alongside sports betting, taka baje also has live casino games. Particularly popular is Blackjack MH — a card game where skill and strategy come into play. It's a good option during cricket match intervals or on a slow sports day. Visit the Blackjack MH page to find out more.
