king taka Cricket Betting — add excitement to every ball the Tigers play
From BPL to the T20 World Cup, ODI series to Test matches — king taka offers betting on every cricket format. Take part in all types of markets from match winner, toss, and top batsman to live in-play.
Cricket's three formats and major tournaments
Cricket in Bangladesh is more than a sport — it is passion. Across the country, people hold their breath together during every Bangladesh Tigers match. When betting at king taka, you need to understand that cricket's three main formats affect the markets differently.
T20: The fastest format — each team gets only 20 overs. BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup are all played in this format. Results come quickly, so betting markets also change fast.
ODI: In a one-day match, each team plays 50 overs. The ICC World Cup and bilateral series are played in ODI format. In this format, the total runs and partnership markets are quite popular.
Test: In five-day Test cricket, patience and strategy matter most. A draw is a valid result, so you can bet on three outcomes — team A wins, team B wins, or a draw. This variety is what sets Test betting apart.
Football and other sports betting
Alongside cricket, you can also bet on football at king taka. Betting markets are available for European leagues, the FIFA World Cup and the Asian Championship. However, there are a few key differences between cricket and football betting.
In T20 cricket there is no draw — one team must win. So the market is split directly between the two teams. But in football a draw is a common result, meaning the match winner market has three options — team A wins, team B wins, or a draw. This extra option arranges the odds differently.
Betting options may also be available for badminton, tennis and kabaddi. However, cricket and football are the most familiar to sports fans in Bangladesh, so the depth of betting markets is greater for these two sports.

Popular betting markets — how to bet on each
Several markets are available for cricket betting at king taka. The most common markets are explained below so that new bettors can understand them easily.
Match Winner
The simplest market — pick which team will win. Example: team A vs team B — you think team B will win, so you bet on team B.
SimplestToss Winner
You can bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result is entirely random, so the odds are generally close to equal between the two teams.
Quick resultTop Batsman
Bet on which batter will score the most runs in an innings or the whole match. You need to choose one batter from a specific team's batters.
Skill-basedTotal Runs Over/Under
A specific number is set — for example 160 runs. You choose whether the team will score more (over) or less (under) than that. This market is quite popular in T20.
Statistics-basedMulti Bet
Combine multiple selections into one bet. If all selections are correct, the odds multiply and you get a larger return. But if even one is wrong, you lose the entire bet.
High returnMan of the Match
Bet on who will be the best performer in the whole match. You need to pick one player from several options in this market, so the odds tend to be comparatively higher.
Special marketHow to read and understand odds
In betting, odds are a measure of potential return. king taka generally displays decimal odds, but it is good to know fractional and American formats too.
| Format | Team A win price | Team B win price |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | 1.50 |
| Fractional | 2/1 | 1/2 |
| American | +200 | -200 |
Example 1 — ৳500 bet on team A: Decimal 3.00 means three taka back for every taka staked. If you win a ৳500 bet, you get back ৳1,500 (৳1,000 profit plus ৳500 original stake). If you lose, your ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 — team B the favourite: Decimal 1.50 means team B is the more likely winner. If you bet ৳500 and win, you get back ৳750 (৳250 profit). In American format, minus (-200) means you need to stake ৳200 to make ৳100 profit.
Remember — lower odds mean that outcome is more likely (the favourite), and higher odds mean more risk but also a higher return.
Multi bet example
If the decimal odds on three selections are 1.40, 1.60 and 1.70, the combined odds will be
1.40 × 1.60 × 1.70 = 3.81
A ৳100 bet returns ৳381 — but only if all three selections win. If even one loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
Live betting — odds shift the moment a wicket falls
In-play or live betting is the ability to bet while a match is in progress. It is completely different from regular betting — because the situation changes after every ball and the odds update instantly along with it.
Say in a T20 match team A has scored 120 runs in 15 overs and lost 3 wickets. If two wickets then fall in quick succession, team A's chances of winning drop, so their odds rise. At that moment, the odds on team B shorten. In live betting, these changes happen in real time.
The run rate at the end of an over, a bowling change in the death overs, or the required run rate for a team in the last 5 overs — all of these change the live market odds moment by moment. So to bet live, you need a good understanding of how the match is moving.
To bet live from your mobile, you can access it easily on the king taka App.
A few things to keep in mind before betting
Cricket betting is a form of entertainment — treating it as a source of income is a mistake. Keeping the following points in mind will make the betting experience better.
- Set a budget: Decide in advance how much you will stake for each match. Do not go beyond that limit.
- Focus on one market: The match winner market is the simplest for beginners. It is better not to start with complex multi bets.
- Understand the format: Betting strategy is different for T20 and Test. The same team can perform completely differently across the two formats.
- Pitch and weather: The pitch type and weather play a big role in how a match develops, especially in Test and ODI.
- Do not bet more after a loss: The tendency to place bigger bets to recover losses is harmful. Read the responsible gaming guidelines.
- No rushing in live betting: You have to make quick decisions in in-play markets — but do not place large bets driven by emotion.
