take Cricket Betting — the best betting experience for BPL, IPL and international matches
From T20 to Test, take brings Bangladeshi cricket fans a wide range of betting markets across every format. Match winner, toss, top batsman — all in one platform.
Cricket Formats and Competitions
Cricket in Bangladesh is more than a sport — it is a feeling. Millions of fans follow every Bangladesh Tigers match with enormous passion, and take channels that enthusiasm into a structured betting experience.
Cricket is played in three main formats. T20 is the shortest and fastest — betting markets move quickly, with the situation and odds shifting every over. ODI matches are fifty-over strategic contests where mid-match markets carry a lot of weight. Test cricket is the longest and most tactical format — across five days, the flow of a match can become highly complex.
In terms of competitions, BPL is Bangladesh's biggest T20 league. IPL is the world's most popular franchise tournament and is closely followed in Bangladesh as well. Beyond these, take covers the ICC T20 World Cup, Bangladesh international series, the Asia Cup and many other international tournaments.
Football and other sports are also available at take. In football, markets beyond match winner include goalscorer, both teams to score and handicap. Compared to cricket, football betting markets work differently — draws are possible, which they are not in limited-overs cricket. In tennis, badminton and other sports, match winner is the primary market. Cricket remains take's core strength, as the platform was built with Bangladeshi cricket fans in mind.
Popular Betting Markets
Cricket betting does not have to be limited to the single question of "who will win." take offers a range of markets that make every match more engaging.
Match Winner
In limited-overs matches, simply pick between team A or team B. If team A's odds are 1.80 and team B's are 2.00, a ৳500 bet on team B returns ৳1,000 if they win (৳500 profit).
Toss Betting
You know the result before the match even starts — bet on which team wins the toss. This is a straightforward 50-50 market, so odds on both sides are usually close to each other.
Top Batsman
Who will score the most runs in the match? Picking the highest scorer for team A or team B is a market that is especially popular in T20.
Total Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the total runs scored will be over or under a set number. For example, you can bet on a T20 innings line of 165 runs.
Multi Bet
Combine multiple matches or markets into a single bet. Say three selections have odds of 1.50, 1.80 and 1.90 — the combined odds are 5.13, giving a potential return of ৳513 on ৳100. However, if any one selection loses, the entire bet is lost.
Next Wicket Market
Will a wicket fall in the next over? This is a great live betting market where you can factor in the current form of the bowler and batsman — though cricket is always unpredictable.
How to Read Odds
The first thing to understand before you start betting is odds. take displays odds in three formats — decimal, fractional and American.
Example 1 (all three formats together): Team A to win — placing a ৳200 bet on this selection:
| Format | Odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | Stake × odds = total return |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳5 profit for every ৳4 staked |
| American | +125 | ৳125 profit on a ৳100 bet |
If team A wins, a ৳200 bet returns ৳450 in total (৳250 profit + ৳200 original stake). If they lose, the ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 (favourite team): Team B's odds are 1.50 in decimal = 1/2 in fractional = -200 in American. American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100 — in this case ৳200. A ৳200 bet returns ৳300 (৳100 profit).
Odds are simply a way of calculating a potential return — they are not a guarantee of any outcome. Always bet for entertainment, and never stake money you cannot afford to lose.
Live In-Play Betting
One of cricket's most compelling aspects is that every ball can bring a new turn. take's live betting captures that momentum.
During a match, odds shift after every wicket, boundary or dot ball. If a team is playing well early on and then loses three wickets in five overs, the opposition's odds will drop noticeably. Understanding those shifts is at the heart of live betting.
Over-by-over stats, death-over tactics, powerplay run rates — all of these influence live betting markets. In addition to match winner, take's live betting includes markets such as runs in the next over, next wicket, and various in-the-moment options.
- Odds change fast — take your time before deciding, rather than rushing.
- A major turning point (such as a top batsman getting out) can cause a big swing in odds.
- Pitch conditions, weather and the team's current form all play a role in setting live odds.
Practical Betting Tips
Betting is not purely down to luck — following some basic principles makes the experience more structured and enjoyable. That said, it should always be treated as entertainment, not as a money-making strategy.
-
Set a budget: Decide on a budget before each match and stick to it. Never bet more than you can afford to lose.
-
Get to know one format well: T20, ODI and Test each have their own playing style. Focus on one first, then move to the others.
-
Be careful with multi bets: Multi bets offer higher returns, but the risk is also higher. Every selection needs to win — one loss and the whole bet is gone.
-
Compare odds: Understand the odds across different markets. Lower odds mean a more expected outcome — but a smaller return. Higher odds mean higher risk.
-
Play responsibly: If betting starts to feel like a burden, read take's responsible gaming guidelines. Keep it enjoyable.
-
Know the rules: Before placing a bet, read take's terms and conditions carefully — especially the clauses on bonuses and withdrawals.
