tak 999 Cricket Betting — the best place to bet on BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup
Bet on every format of cricket. From match winner to top batsman — following every ball at tak 999 brings a new kind of fun.
Three cricket formats and Bangladesh's favourite tournaments
Your betting experience depends on which format you are watching. Each of the three formats has a different pace and strategy — so the betting markets differ too.
T20
Each team plays just 20 overs. Quick runs, big sixes, and dramatic changes in the final overs — this format is the most exciting for live betting. BPL and IPL are the best examples of this format.
ODI
In a 50-over match, the middle overs play a big role in betting. It is important to understand how odds shift after the powerplay. Alongside the T20 World Cup, the ICC World Cup is also held in this format.
Test
In five-day cricket, odds change slowly. Pitch reports, weather, and each session all influence the betting market. Cricket experts consider this the most strategic format.
The tournaments Bangladeshi fans follow the most
BPL is Bangladesh's own T20 league — it generates the most excitement among fans every season. IPL is India's cricket league but is equally popular with Bangladeshi cricket fans. Betting markets for the T20 World Cup and ICC international matches are also available at tak 999.
Each tournament has its own rhythm. In the league stage, many teams play at the same time, creating new betting opportunities every day. In the knockout rounds, losing one match means it's all over — and that pressure influences odds the most.
Betting on football and other sports alongside cricket
Although cricket is tak 999's largest betting section, football also holds an important place here. You can bet on international tournaments like the English Premier League, Champions League, or the World Cup.
The betting structure for cricket and football is different. In T20 or ODI cricket there is generally no draw, so you choose between two outcomes. In football there are three possibilities — team A wins, team B wins, or a draw — so odds work differently.
Betting markets for tennis, basketball, and e-sports are also available. Those interested in betting on the virtual field alongside cricket can find more details on the virtual sports betting page.
5 popular cricket bets and how they work
Each type of bet has its own logic and strategy. The most commonly used markets are explained below in plain language.
Match Winner
A straightforward question — which team will win? There is no draw in T20 or ODI, so you pick one of the two. Example: team A odds 1.45, team B odds 2.75 — choosing team B gives a higher return on each bet but carries more risk.
Toss Winner
This market closes before the match begins. The toss is a completely even-chance event, so the odds for both teams are usually close to each other. Knowing the pitch type can give you an idea of what the toss winner might choose.
Top Batsman
You pick who will score the most runs in the team. The batting order and pitch conditions play an important role in this market.
Over/Under Runs
In this market, the bookmaker sets a run total. You decide whether the final score will be over or under that number. This market is particularly popular in T20.
Multi Bet (multiple selections)
You can combine multiple matches or markets in a single bet. Example: if three separate selections have odds of 1.40, 1.50, and 1.70, the combined odds are 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.70 = 3.57. A ৳100 bet returns ৳357 if all selections win — but if even one loses, the whole bet is gone.
First Over Runs
You can bet on how many runs will be scored in the first over of the match. This kind of prop bet focuses on a specific moment in the match and is most commonly seen during live betting.
Decimal, fractional and American odds — what is the difference?
The same odds for a match can be written in three different ways. The table below uses real examples to make this clear.
| Format | Team A win (example 1) | Team B win (example 2) | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | 1.25 | The total return on the bet (original stake + profit) is calculated by direct multiplication |
| Fractional | 2/1 | 1/4 | Shows profit per ৳1 staked as a fraction — the original stake is returned separately |
| American | +200 | -400 | A + sign means profit on a ৳100 bet; a − sign means how much you must stake to win ৳100 |
Example 1 — betting on the underdog
Decimal odds of 3.00 on team A winning (fractional 2/1, American +200). A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳3,000 if team A wins — that is ৳2,000 profit plus ৳1,000 original stake. If team A loses, ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — betting on the favourite
Decimal odds of 1.25 on team B winning (fractional 1/4, American -400). A ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,250 if team B wins — just ৳250 profit. Lower odds on the favourite mean less profit, but the team is considered more likely to win.
These two examples show that higher odds mean a bigger potential profit — but the bookmaker rates that team as less likely to win. Before you start betting, read the responsible gaming guidelines once.
Odds shift the moment a wicket falls — how live betting works
Live in-play betting is the most fast-moving part of cricket. After the match begins, the situation changes on every ball and the odds update in real time accordingly.
Say team A is batting and 3 wickets fall in the powerplay — team A's win odds will immediately lengthen and team B's odds will shorten. In the same way, if a batsman hits a quick half-century, the market swings in team A's favour.
During live betting, new markets open while the match is ongoing — runs in the next over, method of the next wicket, or how many boundaries will be hit in a specific over. It is a completely different experience from ordinary pre-match betting.
Keep in mind, though — there is less time to decide in live betting. Rather than placing a large bet on impulse, staying within your budget is the sensible approach.
Some advice for keeping a clear head when betting on cricket
- 01 Plan according to the format. T20 and Test cricket move at different speeds — using the same strategy for both formats may not give the results you expect.
- 02 Set your budget first. Decide in advance how much you can afford to lose. Betting is for entertainment — chasing losses with bigger bets is not the right approach.
- 03 Be careful with multi bets. Adding more selections increases the potential return, but if even one selection loses, the whole bet is gone. Start with fewer selections.
- 04 No rushing in live betting. There is no need to jump in just because odds are changing quickly. Think through every betting decision carefully.
- 05 Know the rules and conditions. It is worth checking the terms and conditions before placing a bet — especially regarding bonus wagering.
- 06 Every match is different. The result of the last match does not fully predict the next one. Always factor in the pitch, weather, and team changes.
Remember
Betting is entertainment — not a guaranteed source of income. Only stake money that you can afford to lose without it affecting your daily life. If you feel it is becoming a problem, visit the responsible gaming page.
