taka boss Cricket Betting — Best Odds from BPL to T20 World Cup
Betting on Bangladesh's favourite sport is now easier than ever. taka boss brings together all major markets for BPL, IPL, international T20 and Test matches — match winner, toss, top batsman and more. Live odds update after every over.
Three Formats of Cricket and the Major Tournaments
To understand cricket betting, it helps to know the formats first, because the type of bet varies with each one.
T20 — The fastest format, just 20 overs per side. Every ball matters, so odds shift quickly and it is well suited to live betting. BPL and IPL are the most popular T20 tournaments among Bangladeshi fans.
ODI — In the 50-over one-day format, the longer match means more variety in betting markets. ICC One-Day International series and World Cup matches attract the most betting interest in this format.
Test — In this five-day format, a draw is a valid result. Three possible outcomes mean the odds structure is different from T20 or ODI. Beyond match winner, Test cricket also offers session-based and innings-based markets.
The T20 World Cup is especially popular among Bangladeshi cricket fans, as the Tigers face the best teams in the world. All odds for these tournaments are available in one place at taka boss.
T20, ODI and Test — each format has its own set of betting markets at taka boss.
Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, taka boss also offers football betting. Common football markets include match winner, over/under goals and handicap. The key difference from cricket is that draws are a regular outcome in football, so the 1X2 market has three options — home win, draw or away win. T20 and ODI cricket have no draw, so odds are split between just two outcomes, which makes the cricket odds structure a little different.
Alongside various sports at taka boss, you can also spend time on live casino and slots at taka boss Casino — a popular choice during cricket match breaks.
7 Popular Cricket Betting Markets
In cricket you can bet on many types of events, not just the match result. Below are seven common markets with simple examples.
Match Winner
This market asks which team will win the match. Example: in a game between Team A and Team B, if you pick Team B, your bet wins if Team B wins.
Most CommonToss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The outcome does not depend on the match result, so it is familiar to new bettors.
Pre-Match MarketTop Batsman
A bet on which batter will score the most runs for their team. Example: pick which batter from Team A will score the highest.
Performer BettingTotal Runs Over/Under
Choose whether the total runs in an innings or the whole match will be over or under a set number. Example: over or under 160 runs in the first innings.
Runs-Based MarketTop Bowler
Pick which bowler will take the most wickets. Pitch conditions and weather play an important role in this market.
Performer BettingMulti Bet
Multiple selections are combined into one bet. You win only if all selections are correct, but the return can be much larger. Learn more about this market at taka boss Bet.
Multiple MatchesMan of the Match / Best Player
A bet on which player will deliver the best performance and be named Man of the Match. This is usually a pre-match market and carries high odds.
High Odds MarketOdds Are Written in Three Formats
Many people find the numbers in cricket betting confusing. The same odds can be expressed in three ways — decimal, fractional and American.
Example 1 — Team A wins (stake ৳200)
Decimal odds of 2.25 means you get ৳2.25 back for every ৳1 bet. On a ৳200 bet, if Team A wins, the total return is ৳450 (৳250 profit + ৳200 stake). Fractional 5/4 means the same thing — ৳5 profit for every ৳4 staked. American +125 means ৳125 profit on a ৳100 bet. If Team A loses, the full ৳200 is lost.
Example 2 — Favourite Team B (stake ৳200)
Because Team B is the favourite, their decimal odds are just 1.25. On the same ৳200 bet, if Team B wins, the total return is ৳250 (৳50 profit). American -400 means you need to bet ৳400 to make ৳100 profit. The return on a favourite is lower because the bookmaker considers their chance of winning higher.
The figures above are for explanation only — actual odds differ for every match and do not guarantee any outcome.
Live Betting — Odds Change the Moment a Wicket Falls
The ability to bet while a match is in progress makes cricket a little different. With pre-match betting you decide before the match starts; with live betting you can change your decision based on how the match unfolds.
For example, if two wickets fall in quick succession in the first innings, the batting team's odds rise — meaning the bookmaker rates their chances of winning as lower. The bowling team's odds drop. These changes happen within seconds.
In T20, if a big score is needed in the final over, odds move very quickly. In ODI, a mid-innings partnership break causes a sharp shift in odds. In Test cricket, changes in pitch and light conditions cause odds to move more gradually.
When live betting, keep in mind that decisions need to be made quickly, so it is a good idea to decide in advance how much you want to bet. Our responsible gaming guide has more detailed advice on this.
Some Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is a form of entertainment. Keeping the following points in mind will make the experience better.
Choose markets based on the format
Markets that work well in T20 behave differently in Test cricket. Start with the format you know best.
Set a budget in advance
Decide how much you are willing to bet each session and stick to that limit. Betting is for entertainment, not as a source of income.
Keep selections low in a multi bet
The more selections you add to a multi bet, the lower the chance of all of them winning together. More than 3–4 selections can be difficult for beginners.
Read the rules before betting
Different markets have different rules when rain or an abandoned match occurs. It is wise to check the terms and conditions once before placing your bet.
Be patient in live betting
In live betting, odds change after every ball. Rather than rushing, wait for the right moment.
Betting is a form of entertainment. Chasing lost money by placing more bets is a sign of a problem. If you need help, visit our responsible gaming page.
