Cricket Betting at taka77 — place bets on all major matches from BPL to T20 World Cup
Cricket is the most popular sport in Bangladesh. At taka77 you can bet on match winner, toss, live in-play and a range of other markets. This page explains how to read odds and what each market offers, all in plain language for Bangladeshi readers.
Cricket Formats and Competitions
Cricket is played in three main formats, and the way betting works differs in each. taka77 offers betting on all three formats.
T20 cricket is the shortest and fastest format — each team faces only 20 overs. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are both played in this format. Odds in T20 matches change very quickly, because one big over or a single wicket can shift the entire picture.
ODI, or one-day cricket, gives each team 50 overs. The ICC Cricket World Cup is played in this format. The pace of play is comparatively slower, giving bettors more time to read the situation.
Test cricket is the long five-day format. A draw is a genuine possibility here. Three possible results — Team A wins, Team B wins, draw — make the market more varied.
BPL is Bangladesh's biggest franchise tournament, and every season cricket fans across the country follow it closely. IPL is India's biggest T20 league and is hugely popular among Bangladeshi viewers as well. The Bangladesh national team (the Tigers) competes in the T20 World Cup and ICC Champions Trophy, and betting markets for these tournaments tend to be large.
Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, taka77 also offers betting on football and several other sports. In football, match winner, handicap and goals over/under are the most common markets.
The main difference between betting on cricket and football is the number of possible results and the nature of the game. In Test cricket there are three possible results (win, loss, draw), while in T20 or ODI there are usually just two (win or loss). Football also has three results — home win, draw, away win. In cricket, however, live odds shift much faster because of wickets falling, powerplay overs and changing run rates. In football, odds move slowly when there are no goals.
Betting is also available on other sports such as tennis, badminton and hockey, though cricket remains by far the most followed sport among Bangladeshi bettors.
For those who want to play casino games as well as bet on sports, taka77 Casino has a large collection of live casino, slots and table games.
Popular Cricket Betting Markets
At taka77 you can bet on several different types of markets in a cricket match. The most commonly used markets are explained below.
Match Winner
The simplest market — which of the two teams will win. For example, in a T20 match between Team A and Team B, if you think Team B will win, you place your bet on Team B.
Most PopularToss Winner
You can bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. This is a market with two equally likely outcomes, so odds for both teams are usually close to each other.
Short-Odds MarketTop Batsman
You can bet on which batsman will score the most runs in a match or innings. You pick one player from a team, so odds are generally higher.
Special MarketTotal Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs scored in a match or innings will be more (over) or fewer (under) than a set number. Example: total runs 160 over/under — will the team's total be more or less than 160.
Over/UnderMulti Bet
You can combine several matches or events into a single bet. If all your selections are correct the return is much higher, but if one loses you lose the entire stake.
High ReturnHandicap Betting
The stronger team is given a runs or wickets handicap to even things up. If you bet on the weaker team, that team must win after the handicap is applied.
Specialist MarketHow to Read Odds
taka77 may display odds in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same probability, just written differently. The two examples below show all three formats side by side.
The same value written three ways: decimal 2.25, fractional 5/4, American +125. A ৳200 stake returns ৳450 if Team A wins (৳250 profit + ৳200 original stake). If Team A loses, you lose ৳200.
Team B is the favourite, so the odds are lower: decimal 1.25, fractional 1/4, American -400 — a negative American odds figure shows how much you need to stake to win ৳100. A ৳200 stake returns ৳250 if Team B wins (৳50 profit).
In simple terms, higher decimal odds mean higher risk and a higher potential return. Low odds such as 1.25 mean that team is considered more likely to win, but the profit is also smaller.

Live In-Play Betting
You can place bets after a match has started — this is called live or in-play betting. At taka77, odds update with every over and every wicket during an ongoing match.
Live betting in cricket is particularly engaging because odds can shift sharply when multiple wickets fall in one over or a big hit is scored. For example — Team A was in a strong position, but then lost three wickets in a row during the powerplay. At that point Team A's win odds will rise (meaning the market considers their chances lower) and Team B's odds will fall.
In the live market, alongside match winner you may also find markets such as runs in a specific over, when the next wicket will fall, or which bowler will take a wicket. Being able to read the situation as the match unfolds is what makes live betting particularly popular.
Bear in mind that live odds change quickly, so take your time to read the situation before placing a bet rather than deciding in a rush.
When do odds change in live betting?
- When a wicket falls, the bowling team's odds shorten
- After a big six or four, the batting team's odds shorten
- When the powerplay ends, odds are reassessed
- When the run rate climbs in the death overs, the batting team's odds shorten
- If rain or pitch conditions change, odds are adjusted accordingly
Some Useful Advice for Betting
Set a budget beforehand. Decide how much you are willing to spend before each session. Stop when you reach that limit.
Understand the market before you bet. It is better to start with straightforward markets like match winner or toss. Get comfortable with the basics before moving on to more complex markets.
Adjust your approach to the format. T20 and Test cricket move at very different speeds, so think about how you read odds accordingly. Rapid changes are normal in T20.
Stay patient in live betting. Rather than acting immediately after the first over, watch how the match develops before making a decision.
Betting is for entertainment. Betting is for enjoyment — it is not a reliable way to make money. There is always a chance of losing. See our FAQ page for more details.
Be careful with multi bets. In a multi bet with three selections at decimal odds of 1.40, 1.80 and 1.90, the combined odds are 1.40 × 1.80 × 1.90 = 4.79 (approximately). That means a ৳100 stake returns ৳479 if all three are correct — but if one loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
