bigtaka 9 Cricket Betting — T20 to Test, BPL to ICC
Bet on Bangladesh's most popular cricket tournaments — with markets including Match Winner, Toss and Total Runs. Clear odds formats, fast payments and live in-play betting, all in one place.
Cricket Formats and Tournaments — Which Should You Bet On?
Cricket's three main formats — T20, ODI and Test — each have their own pace and strategy. T20 matches produce a result within a few hours, which is why they attract the most betting activity. During BPL, cricket fans in Bangladesh are at their most active.
IPL and T20 World Cup are the most popular tournaments at the international level. Bangladesh Tigers matches bring excitement across the whole country — discussions about the team's performance at ICC events go on everywhere.
In ODI matches, the middle overs of a fifty-over contest carry a great deal of weight. In Test cricket, pitch behaviour, weather and the game's endurance across five days make betting far more varied.
Alongside betting across formats, bigtaka 9 Bet also offers football and other sports markets — though cricket has the widest range of markets here.
Cricket vs Football Betting — What Is the Difference?
Cricket Betting
Cricket matches run from a few hours to five days. Betting markets are far more granular — markets exist for every over, every wicket and even individual bowler performance. In T20, live odds can change ball by ball.
A draw is only possible in Tests; T20 and ODI matches always produce a clear winner. This makes those betting markets simpler.
Football and Other Sports
Football matches typically last 90 minutes and the draw market is always active. Goals, assists and corners are markets that do not exist in cricket. Conversely, cricket has Top Bowler and Top Run Scorer markets, whose nearest equivalent in football is the Top Scorer market.
The main difference between the two sports comes down to duration and the number of events. A single cricket match can generate hundreds of betting events, which is not possible in football.
Popular Betting Markets in BPL and IPL
Each market works differently. Below is a simple explanation of the seven most commonly used markets.
Match Winner
A straightforward bet — which team will win the match? There is no draw in T20 or ODI, so you simply pick one of two outcomes. Example: Team A or Team B.
Most PopularToss Winner
A bet on the result of the toss before the match starts. This is a completely independent market — it has no connection to the match result. Pick Team A or Team B.
Short-TermTop Batsman
A bet on which player in a team will score the most runs. Pitch conditions and batting order both play a role in this market.
Performance MarketTotal Runs — Over/Under
A target number of total runs in the match is set — you decide whether the actual runs scored will be more (Over) or fewer (Under) than that number.
Runs MarketMulti Bet
Multiple selections from different matches combined into a single bet. The odds of each selection are multiplied, so the potential return is much higher — but if even one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Combined BetFirst Wicket to Fall
A bet on which over the first wicket of an innings will fall in. This market moves quickly in live betting — odds change with every delivery.
Live MarketSay you make three separate selections across three matches — with odds of 1.40, 1.70 and 1.80 respectively. Combined odds: 1.40 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.28 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳428 if all three selections are correct. But if even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost. Treat betting as entertainment.
Decimal, Fractional and American Odds — How to Read Them
Betting sites use three ways of writing odds — decimal, fractional and American. The same probability is expressed differently in each format, but the value is identical.
Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150
A win gives a total return of ৳2,500 (৳1,500 profit + ৳1,000 stake). A loss means the full ৳1,000 is gone.
Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400
American minus odds show how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit. A ৳1,000 stake gives a total return of ৳1,250 (৳250 profit).
The decimal format at bigtaka 9 is the easiest to use — multiply your stake by the odds and you get your total return.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds During the Match
Live in-play is the most fast-moving betting experience in cricket. From the moment the match begins, odds are reset after every wicket, every six and every over.
Say Team A loses three wickets in the first five overs — Team B's odds of winning shorten and Team A's odds lengthen. This shift happens instantly in the live market.
If the batting side has a strong score at the end of the powerplay, the price on the Total Runs "Over" market drops; a low score pushes it up. The same principle applies when pressure on the batting side builds in the death overs.
Live betting calls for quick decisions — watch the match, read the situation, then place your bet. Avoid increasing your stake in a rush — follow responsible gaming guidelines.
Alongside live betting at bigtaka 9, you can also play live casino games in the W Live section — with real dealers, in real time.
Some Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
- Start with one market. Focus on the Match Winner market first. Opening multiple markets at once can get confusing.
- Stick to your budget. Set a fixed limit for each match before you start and stay within it. Betting is for entertainment — do not increase your stakes to chase losses.
- Understand the format before you bet. In T20, pitch and dew factor matter; in Tests, track pitch changes and weather. In ODIs, watch momentum through the middle overs.
- Be careful with multi bets. Combining many selections makes the potential return look large, but one wrong pick ends the whole bet. Keeping it to two or three legs is a sensible habit.
- Keep a clear head in live betting. Seeing a six and immediately placing a large bet is best avoided — it only takes two wickets to completely change the situation.
- Compare odds. When you see odds for the same market in different formats, convert to decimal to compare them easily.
