Cricket Betting at daka 7 — A Complete Guide to Betting on BPL, IPL and International Matches
From T20 to Test, from match winner to top batsman — all popular cricket betting markets are in one place on daka 7's cricket betting platform. This guide shows you how to read odds, understand popular markets, and how live betting works.
Cricket Formats and Competitions
Cricket is played in three main formats — T20, ODI and Test. Each format has its own pace and strategy, so the betting markets differ a little as well.
T20: The fastest format. A match ends in just 20 overs, so the situation can change with every ball. BPL and IPL are both played in this format, and these two leagues are the most popular among fans in Bangladesh.
ODI: Strategy plays a bigger role in fifty-over matches. Major tournaments such as the T20 World Cup and the ICC World Cup also include the ODI format. The middle overs and the final batting phase create key moments for betting.
Test: Patience and endurance are the key factors in this five-day format. Innings-by-innings markets and match result betting are the most common here. daka 7 also offers markets for the Tigers' Test matches.
BPL is Bangladesh's own T20 league, where local and international stars play together. IPL is India's biggest T20 tournament and fans in Bangladesh follow every match closely.
Other Sports alongside Cricket
Besides cricket, daka 7 also offers betting on football and several other sports. However, the betting experience for cricket and football is quite different.
In football, three outcomes are possible — home win, away win or draw — so the odds are structured differently. In cricket (especially T20 and ODI) there is no draw; only two outcomes are possible, so each team's odds sit directly against the other's. In Test cricket a draw is possible, so three-outcome markets similar to football are available there too.
In football, half-time/full-time result, goalscorer and corner markets are popular — none of which exist in cricket. In return, cricket offers toss, partnership, maiden over and wicket-based special markets.
Which sport you bet on depends on which one you understand better and enjoy watching — betting is one part of the entertainment.
Cricket vs Football — Key Differences
- Cricket T20/ODI has only 2 outcomes; football has 3
- Cricket has over-by-over special markets
- Football has goalscorer and card markets
- The toss is a separate market in cricket
- Live in-play betting is available in both sports
Popular Betting Markets — 7 Examples
The markets below are the most used in the cricket section at daka 7. The core idea behind each one is explained here in simple terms.
Match Winner
Which team will win the match — this is the simplest market. Team A or Team B — place your bet on whichever team you have more confidence in. This market is the most active in T20.
Easy to StartToss Market
Which team will win the toss is a separate market. It has no direct link to the match result, so the odds are usually close to even.
Independent MarketTop Batsman
Who will score the most runs for a team in the match? This market involves betting on a batter from one team. The bet wins if that player scores the most runs under the specified conditions.
Performance MarketTotal Runs Over / Under
Will the total runs in an innings or across the whole match be more than (over) or fewer than (under) a set number — that is what you are betting on. A fall of wickets or a slow pitch can change the picture quickly.
Runs-BasedTop Wicket-Taker
Which bowler will take the most wickets in the match? This market depends on the bowling attack and pitch conditions. It is more popular in Test and ODI cricket.
Bowling MarketMulti Bet (Multiple Selections)
Adding multiple markets to the same betting slip multiplies the odds, increasing your potential return. However, if any selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost. For example, three selections at 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.70 = 3.81 combined odds. A ৳100 bet returns ৳381 if all win — but if one selection is wrong, the full ৳100 is gone.
Higher ReturnHandicap and Over/Under Markets: In a handicap market, the weaker team is given a run or wicket advantage to level the playing field. For example, if Team A is given a 10-run handicap, they must win by that margin to win the handicap bet. In an over/under market, you bet on whether a set number of runs or wickets will be exceeded.
Learn to Read Odds — Three Formats
Odds on daka 7 are usually shown in decimal format, though fractional and American formats also appear in various places. The two working examples below will help you understand all three formats at once.
Example 1 — Underdog Team Wins (Team A)
| Format | Odds | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | Multiply by your stake |
| Fractional | 3/2 | Stake 2 to profit 3 |
| American | +150 | + means stake ৳100 to profit ৳150 |
Example 2 — Favourite Team Wins (Team B)
| Format | Odds | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.25 | Multiply by your stake |
| Fractional | 1/4 | Stake 4 to profit 1 |
| American | -400 | − means stake ৳400 to profit ৳100 |
Quick Reference
- Decimal odds are the simplest — just multiply by your stake and the result is your total return.
- Fractional odds show profit only; your original stake must be added separately.
- American + means underdog (lower risk, higher return); − means favourite.
- Higher odds mean a higher return — but the chance of winning is proportionally lower.
Live In-Play Betting — Markets Change Over by Over
In live betting you can place bets even after the match has started. Odds update fresh after every wicket, every boundary and every dot ball.
For example, if the batting team scores quickly in the powerplay, their odds of winning come down — meaning they become the favourite. Conversely, if two wickets fall in a row, the bowling team's odds come down and the batting team's go up.
In the death overs (the last 5 overs), the situation changes fastest. If 20 runs come off one over, the odds and markets shift almost instantly. In-play betting is most enjoyable when you watch the match carefully as you go.
In Test cricket, in-play betting moves at a slower pace since the match unfolds over five days. In ODI, markets refresh after the middle overs; in T20, they refresh after every over.

-
Focus on one format: Starting with either T20 or ODI and sticking to it makes the markets easier to understand.

Compare odds: When different odds are available for the same market, take note of them. Decimal odds are easy to compare.
