vip taka Cricket Betting — Place smart bets on T20, ODI and BPL
Across every cricket format — T20 to Test, BPL to international series — vip taka gives you detailed markets, clear odds and live in-play betting. Follow it in Bangla, bet on your own terms.
Cricket formats and tournaments — how does betting differ across them?
The first step to understanding cricket betting is knowing the difference between the three formats. T20 matches finish fastest, so odds shift quickly and every over creates a new opportunity. In ODI format, with fifty overs per side, the pace of play changes more slowly, giving you more room to apply strategy in mid-match markets. Test matches last five days — here, pitch conditions, weather and the batting-bowling balance have the greatest influence on odds.
Among tournaments, the most popular with Bangladeshi cricket fans is the BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) — the domestic franchise tournament where familiar faces mean bettors feel more confident. Beyond that, IPL, the T20 World Cup, ICC events and bilateral series featuring the Bangladesh Tigers always attract high interest.
Compared to football and other sports, cricket has far more markets — not just a match winner, but each innings, each wicket and each over's runs generate separate markets. Football mainly offers match result, goalscorer and corner-card markets. Other sports have an even narrower range. At vip taka, the vip taka Bet section lets you bet on cricket as well as football and other sports.
Popular cricket betting markets — how each one works
Each market has its own rules. Seven popular markets are explained below so you have a clear picture before placing a bet.
Match Winner
Pick which team will win the match. In T20 and ODI there is no draw, so you choose between two outcomes. In Test cricket, a draw is a separate result.
EasiestToss Winner
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result is entirely separate — it has no direct connection to pitch conditions or team strength.
Short-termTop Batsman
Bet on who will score the most runs within a specific team. The team's batting order and pitch conditions play an important role here.
Skill-basedTotal Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the total runs scored in a match or an innings will be above (over) or below (under) a number set by the bookmaker — this is a two-way market.
Numbers-basedMulti Bet
Combine multiple selections into one bet. If all selections are correct, the odds multiply to give a larger return — but if any single selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
High riskHandicap Betting
A virtual advantage or disadvantage is given to one team to level the match. When the gap in team strength is large, this market makes betting more balanced.
BalancingFirst Wicket
Bet on at what score the first wicket will fall in an innings, or which bowler will take it. This market depends heavily on the state of the opening partnership.
Innings-openerReading odds — decimal, fractional and American
The same value is written differently in three formats, but they mean the same thing. The example below explains it:
Example 1 — Team A wins, bet ৳200: Decimal odds 3.00, fractional odds 2/1, American odds +200 — all three are the same value. If this bet wins, total return is ৳600 (৳400 profit + original ৳200 back); if it loses, ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — Team B is favourite, bet ৳200: Decimal odds 1.50, fractional odds 1/2, American odds -200. American minus odds show how much you must bet to make ৳100 profit. A ৳200 bet that wins returns ৳300 total (৳100 profit).
Bangladeshi players generally find the decimal format easier, since you simply multiply the number by your stake to get the total return. vip taka lets you switch odds formats.
Profit = total return − original stake. The numbers above are for explanation only — they are not live odds.
Live in-play betting — odds shift with every wicket and over
Placing a bet while a match is in progress is called live or in-play betting. It suits cricket particularly well, since the situation changes with every ball.
When a wicket falls, the match-winner odds for the batting team rise immediately (because their chances drop), while the bowling team's odds shorten. If runs come quickly in the powerplay, the over/under market line moves up. In the last five overs, if the batting team has few wickets in hand, the bowling team's odds can become more attractive.
In in-play betting, decision time is very short. So set your budget before placing a bet and keep a clear head. Remember — betting is for entertainment, not a guaranteed way to make money.

A real multi bet example — how to calculate it
A multi bet means putting multiple events together in one bet. The odds multiply together, so if all selections are correct the return is larger. But if any one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Example: Three selections — decimal odds 1.40, 1.50 and 1.60.
Combined odds: 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.60 = 3.36 (approximately)
৳100 bet — if all win, return: ৳336
If any one selection is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
This is why many players limit themselves to two or three selections rather than large multi bets. Enjoy betting as entertainment — there is no guarantee of winning.
Ask yourself before placing a multi bet
- Have I thought through each selection separately?
- Does the number of selections fit my budget?
- Can I afford to lose this amount without any problem?
- Am I playing purely for entertainment?
Practical tips for cricket betting — keep it enjoyable
- Understand the format before you bet. T20 produces runs quickly, ODI builds pressure gradually — each format has its own pace.
- Focus on one market at a time. It is better to understand one or two markets well at the start than to spread bets across many markets at once.
- Set your budget in advance. Decide how much you can afford to lose — and do not bet beyond that amount.
- Avoid rushing in live betting. The excitement of a match can lead to quick decisions. Take a moment to pause.
- Do not chase losses. Placing a bigger bet to recover a loss is the biggest mistake — treat each bet independently.
- Play responsibly. Betting is entirely for entertainment. For more details, read our responsible gaming guide.
