Cricket Betting at 23 takabet — T20 to Test, best markets across all formats
Bet on BPL, IPL and international cricket across markets from match winner to top batsman. 23 takabet offers live odds, real-time updates and convenient payment options all in one place.
Cricket formats and tournaments — where to bet
Before betting on cricket, it helps to understand the format, because each format has a different match flow and different markets.
T20: Results can swing within minutes here. Big shots and sudden wickets in every over cause odds to move quickly. Franchise tournaments like BPL and IPL are played in this format, so there are more chances to follow local players' performances.
ODI: In this fifty-over format, the match builds momentum gradually. Strategy shifts from the powerplay to the death overs, making it particularly interesting for live betting.
Test: In five-day cricket, patience and tactics are everything. Long-term markets such as series result or first-innings lead are more relevant here.
The most talked-about tournaments among cricket fans in Bangladesh are BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), IPL, and the ICC T20 World Cup and ODI World Cup. Betting markets are active around every match the Tigers play.
Betting on football and other sports
23 takabet is not limited to cricket. For football, you can find various markets on Premier League, La Liga, Champions League and Bangladesh Premier League matches.
The betting experience differs between cricket and football. Cricket has innings, over-based and wicket-based markets — a maiden over or two quick wickets can change the entire flow of the match. Football offers markets beyond goals, including corners, cards and individual goalscorer bets. Live betting is popular in both sports, but odds move faster in cricket because the situation changes so frequently.
Limited markets are also available on kabaddi, badminton and tennis. If you want to combine different sports in a multi bet, detailed strategies are available on the betting tips page, where separate advice is given for different formats.
Popular betting markets — how they work
Below are the most commonly used cricket markets on 23 takabet, with explanations. Team A and Team B are used in each example for illustration only.
Match Winner
The simplest market — pick which team wins the match. There are no draws in T20, so there are only two options.
Toss Winner
The result is decided before the match begins. Since the toss is completely random, the odds for both sides are usually close to even.
Top Batsman
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs in an innings. Batting order and pitch conditions play an important role.
Total Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs scored will be above or below a set number. Example: Team A's first innings — over or under 160 runs.
Multi Bet
Combining three or more markets from different matches into a single bet. If all selections are correct, the odds are multiplied; if even one is wrong, the entire bet loses.
Over of First Wicket
A bet on which over of the innings the first wicket will fall. In live betting, the odds on this market change quickly.
How to read odds — three formats
Odds are displayed in different formats in different countries. 23 takabet generally shows decimal format, but knowing fractional and American odds is useful when comparing international sites.
The example below uses a ৳500 bet on Team A to win, shown across all three formats:
| Format | Odds | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | Total return on the bet will be three times the stake |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳2 profit for every ৳1 wagered |
| American | +200 | +200 means ৳200 profit on a ৳100 bet (underdog) |
Result: A winning ৳500 bet returns ৳1,500 (৳1,000 profit + ৳500 original stake). If you lose, the full ৳500 is gone.
Now a favourite example: Team B to win — decimal 1.80, fractional 4/5, American -125. The minus sign in American odds means you need to stake ৳125 to make ৳100 profit. A winning ৳500 bet returns ৳900 (৳400 profit).
Keeping this in mind when placing bets means you know exactly where you stand before the match. For more detailed strategies, see the betting tips page.
All calculations above are examples only — they are not a promise of actual odds or guaranteed returns. Betting is for entertainment.
Multi Bet — combining multiple selections into one bet
A multi bet combines several markets into a single bet. The odds of each selection are multiplied together, so the overall odds become much higher.
Example: three selections from three separate matches with decimal odds of 1.50, 1.70 and 1.90. Multiplied together: 1.50 × 1.70 × 1.90 = 4.84 (approximately). So a ৳100 bet returns ৳484 if all three are correct. But if even one selection is wrong, the entire ৳100 is lost.
A multi bet increases the potential return, but the risk rises in equal measure. Treat betting as entertainment and stay within your budget.
Multi Bet summary
Live Betting — how odds shift during a match
LIVE In-play betting lets you place bets while the match is in progress. In cricket, the situation changes after every ball, so odds update instantly.
On a wicket: The batting team's odds lengthen (the system treats this as a reduced chance of winning). When a new batsman comes to the crease, the next few balls are key to see which way things go.
After a big over: Following an over of 20+ runs, the batting team's odds shorten. A sudden spike in run rate is reflected directly in the betting markets.
As overs run out: When chasing a target in the final 10 overs, odds are determined by the required run rate and wickets in hand together. This is when odds move the fastest.

Some practical tips before you start betting
Set a budget: Decide on a fixed amount before each session and try not to go beyond it. Betting is entertainment, not a source of income.
Follow match news: Pitch conditions, team lineup and weather all affect the outcome. Try to know these before placing a bet.
Start small: When betting on a new market or format for the first time, begin with a small amount. As your experience grows, reading situations becomes easier.
Focus on one market: Building a good understanding of one or two markets first is more effective than spreading across all types at once, which only leads to confusion.
Responsible betting: There should be a limit on both the time and money you spend on betting. Read the responsible gaming guide to learn more.
No rushing in live betting: Odds change fast in in-play betting, so keep a clear head when making decisions. Avoid placing bets on impulse in the heat of the moment.
