Cricket Betting at bit taka — Best Odds Guide for BPL, IPL and T20 Matches
Cricket is Bangladesh's most popular sport — and at bit taka, betting lets you follow every moment of the game more closely. All types of markets, from match winner to live in-play, are available in one place.
Cricket Formats and Competitions — a Betting Perspective
Cricket is played in three main formats — T20, ODI and Test. The betting experience differs across formats because the pace, duration and range of possible results vary.
T20 is the fastest format — everything is done within 20 overs. Odds shift quickly here, and live betting is much more active. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL (Indian Premier League) are both T20 leagues, and they are the most familiar and popular among Bangladeshi fans. The T20 World Cup is another major event.
ODI, or the One Day format, gives each team 50 overs. Here, odds change during the match based on run rate, partnerships and wickets.
Test cricket is the longest format — a five-day match. Because a draw is a possible result, Test matches have odds for three outcomes, whereas ODI and T20 have only two (no draw).
Beyond international matches, Bangladeshi fans are always highly interested in Bangladesh Tigers matches at ICC tournaments.
Football and Other Sports Betting — How It Differs from Cricket
Football Betting
Football typically has three outcomes — home win, away win and draw. This makes the odds structure similar to Test cricket, but a match lasts only 90 minutes. Football also has special markets such as goal scorer, handicap and corner count that are not found in cricket.
Other Sports
You can also bet on kabaddi, tennis, badminton and several other sports. Set-by-set betting is popular in tennis, as a match can go on for a long time.
Compared to cricket and football, these sports have fewer markets, but the live betting option works the same way.
bit taka Bet has separate sections for all sports, with markets for each sport clearly laid out.
Popular Cricket Betting Markets
Placing bets across different markets lets you focus on various aspects of a match. Below is a brief introduction to seven common markets.
-
1
Match Winner
Straightforward — a bet on which team will win the match. There is no draw in T20 and ODI, so there are only two options. Example: if you bet on Team A to win, you get a return only if Team A wins.
-
2
Toss Betting
A bet on the toss result before the match starts. This is a market entirely independent of the match result. Example: if you bet on Team B to win the toss, the toss result determines your return.
-
3
Top Batsman
A bet on which batsman within a team will score the most runs. The team's lineup and batting order are important in this market.
-
4
Total Runs Over / Under
A bet on whether the combined total runs of both teams will be over or under a specified number. Example: if you bet on total runs going over 315, you get a return if 316 or more runs are scored.
-
5
Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
Results from multiple matches can be combined into a single bet. If all selections are correct, you receive a return based on the combined odds — but if even one is wrong, the entire bet loses. The detailed calculation for this type of bet is discussed in the odds section below.
-
6
Innings Runs Handicap
One team is given an artificial run advantage or disadvantage, making the contest appear level on paper. For example: giving Team A a +30 run handicap means 30 is added to their actual score.
-
7
Top Bowler
A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets. The pitch conditions and bowling lineup are relevant in this market.
How to Read Odds — Three Formats
Betting odds are written in three ways — decimal, fractional and American. All three convey the same information; only the presentation differs. Two examples below make it easier to understand.
Team A to win — same odds in three formats
Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125
Bet ৳200 — if Team A wins, total return is ৳450 (profit ৳250 + original stake ৳200). If Team A loses, ৳200 is gone.
Fractional 5/4 means: profit of 5 for every 4 staked. American +125 means: profit of 125 on a stake of 100.
Team B to win — favourite's odds
Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American -125
Bet ৳200 — if Team B wins, total return is ৳360 (profit ৳160). American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win 100.
Decimal 1.80 means a return of ৳1.80 per taka staked — so profit is lower on the favourite, but the chance of winning is higher.
Combined Odds in a Multi Bet
Three selections — decimal 1.60, 1.70 and 1.90 — placed together in a multi bet give combined odds of: 1.60 × 1.70 × 1.90 = 5.17 (approximately). That means a ৳100 bet returns ৳517 — but only if all three selections are correct. If even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost. A multi bet offers a larger return but carries higher risk.
Live In-Play Betting — How Odds Move with Wickets and Overs
Live betting means placing bets while the match is in progress — odds change as the scoreboard updates. This is especially relevant for cricket, where every over and wicket can completely shift the situation.
For example: in a T20 match, the batting team has scored 140 runs for 3 wickets in 15 overs — at this point their odds of winning will increase because they are in a strong position. But if two wickets fall in the next two overs, the odds could level out again.
In ODI, if quick wickets fall during the powerplay overs, the bowling team's odds come down. In Test matches, pitch conditions and weather also influence live odds.
Speed is a key aspect of live betting — odds change fast, so decisions need to be made quickly. The bit taka bit taka App provides real-time updates for live betting, making it easier to follow on mobile.
Some Useful Habits for Cricket Betting
-
Set a budget first: Decide how much money you will put into betting each session before you start. Betting is a form of entertainment — it is not a source of income.
-
Start with one market: The match winner market is the simplest for beginners. Once you understand one area well, move gradually to other markets.
-
Learn the odds formats: Decimal, fractional and American all show the same information in different ways. Reading the two examples above a few times will make the concept clear.
-
Be careful with multi bets: Combining multiple selections increases the potential return, but one wrong pick means losing everything. It is better not to add more than two selections when starting out.
-
Do not rush in live betting: Even when odds are changing fast, give yourself a moment before each bet. Decisions made in the heat of the moment are often the wrong ones.
-
Follow responsible gaming guidelines: Read the Responsible Gaming Guidelines — knowing your own limits is the most important part of enjoying betting.
