1777bet Cricket Betting — place bets on every match from BPL to the T20 World Cup
Match winner, toss, top batsman, over/under runs — all markets on one platform. Live in-play betting with odds that update on every wicket.
Cricket Formats and Tournaments — what does betting look like in each?
Cricket fans in Bangladesh know three formats well — T20, ODI, and Test. Each has its own pace and style of betting.
T20
The match ends in just 20 overs, so odds change quickly with every ball. Live markets are most active in tournaments like BPL and IPL. In a short match, a single wicket can change the entire picture.
ODI
A fifty-over match gives more time for betting and more opportunity to read the game. ODI markets are popular in ICC events and bilateral series. Top batsman and total runs markets are played the most here.
Test Cricket
In a five-day match, a draw is a possible result alongside the match winner. Pitch behaviour changes over the long duration, which affects the odds. The number of bets placed is lower than in T20, but the depth of analysis is greater.
Major Tournaments
The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) and the Indian Premier League (IPL) are the two tournaments most popular with audiences in Bangladesh. Betting volume also rises noticeably during the T20 World Cup and ICC Championship. 1777bet opens separate markets for every Bangladesh Tigers match as well, since interest in betting on the national team is naturally high.
Football and Other Sports — markets beyond cricket
Alongside cricket, 1777bet also offers football betting markets. Match winner, goals markets, and handicap betting are available for European leagues and international tournaments.
The key difference between cricket and football is the structure of outcomes: limited-overs cricket has no draw, but a draw is a common result in football — so football markets are built around three outcomes (win, draw, loss) and the odds are divided accordingly. Cricket has specific markets for runs and wickets that do not exist in football.

5 Popular Betting Markets — how each one works
Cricket is not just about who wins the match — there are many other types of markets, each working a little differently.
Match Winner
You choose in advance which of the two teams will win. Example: pick Team A or Team B — if the team you chose wins, you win the bet; if they lose, the stake is gone.
Simplest marketToss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The outcome is entirely random, so the odds for both teams are usually close. Many people prefer this because the result comes quickly.
Result before the matchTop Batsman
A bet on which player will score the most runs in a given innings. You can choose one or more options from several available. Analysing batting order and form is useful here.
Performance marketTotal Runs Over/Under
You choose whether the total runs scored will be more (over) or fewer (under) than a set number. Example: if you pick over on a line of 160 runs in the first innings and the actual total exceeds 160, you win the bet.
Runs-based marketMulti Bet
You can combine multiple matches or events into a single bet. The odds of each are multiplied, so the potential return is higher — but if even one loses, the entire bet is lost. A detailed example is given in the odds section.
Multiple bets combinedPower Play Runs
A bet specifically on how many runs will be scored during the power play overs (usually the first 6 overs). The result is known early in the innings, so there is an opportunity to respond quickly, similar to live betting.
Opening overs marketOdds are written three ways — what is the difference?
The same market can be shown in three different styles — decimal, fractional, and American. All three carry the same information; only the way they are expressed differs.
| Format | Team A (example) | What does it mean? |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | To find the total return on your bet, multiply your stake directly by this number. |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳5 profit for every ৳4 staked — a total return of ৳9 including your original stake. |
| American | +125 | A positive number shows how much profit a ৳100 bet returns; a negative number shows how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit. |
Example 1 — if Team A wins
Team A's winning odds: decimal 2.25, fractional 5/4, American +125 — all three say the same thing. A ৳500 bet returns ৳1,125 if Team A wins (৳625 profit + ৳500 original stake); if Team A loses, the full ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 — favourite Team B
Team B's odds: decimal 1.50, fractional 1/2, American -200. A minus sign in American format means the favourite — you need to stake ৳200 to make ৳100 profit. A ৳500 bet returns ৳750 in total if Team B wins (৳250 profit).
Multi Bet Example
If you pick three separate markets with decimal odds of 1.50, 1.70, and 1.90, the combined odds are 1.50 × 1.70 × 1.90 = 4.84 (approximately). A ৳100 bet returns ৳484 if all three win — but if even one loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
Live In-Play Betting — place bets while the match is on
LiveWhen you can still place bets after a match has started, that is called live or in-play betting. On 1777bet, odds keep changing during a cricket match — every wicket, every big six, or a difficult over can bring an immediate shift in the odds.
Say Team A makes a strong start in the first innings — Team A's winning odds will fall and Team B's odds will rise. If two wickets fall in a row during the third power play, the balance shifts again. You can watch these changes and place new bets or close existing ones accordingly.
In live betting, decisions have to be made quickly — because odds can change within seconds. Rather than placing large bets in a rush, it is sensible to stay within a set limit. Learn more about responsible betting habits.

Some practical tips for cricket betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — keeping that in mind and building a few simple habits makes for a better experience.
- Set a budget before you start. Decide how much you are willing to spend before each match and stop when you reach that limit.
- Understand the format before choosing a market. A market that works in T20 may not work in Test — each format moves at a different pace.
- Be careful with multi bets. The more markets you add, the greater the chance that one will lose — starting with 2–3 markets combined is enough.
- Do not chase losses by increasing your stake. Trying to recover a lost bet by placing more on the next one increases the total loss.
- Keep pitch and weather in mind. Total runs may be lower on a spin-friendly pitch, and if rain shortens a match, the odds will change.
- Be patient in live betting. Rather than betting before watching each ball, observe a few overs first to get a sense of where the match is heading.
- Take a break if you have been betting for a long time. When concentration drops, the chance of poor decisions rises — taking a break is not a weakness, it is a good habit.
- Follow the 18+ or 21+ age rules. All casino and betting activity on 1777bet is for those aged 21 and above only.
