Cricket Betting at 77bet — BPL, IPL and T20 all markets in one place
Cricket is more than a game — every ball, every wicket, every over brings a new possibility. At 77bet you can place all kinds of bets, from match winner to live markets, with ease.
Cricket's three formats and favourite tournaments
Understanding the format is the first step in cricket betting. T20 matches produce quick results in 20 overs, making the pace of betting much faster. In ODIs, the 50-over contest changes betting strategy — the mid-match situation matters a great deal. In Test cricket, weather, pitch and fatigue all influence markets across five days.
The most popular tournaments among Bangladeshi fans are BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), IPL (Indian Premier League), ICC T20 World Cup, and bilateral international series. There is extra interest in Bangladesh Tigers matches, which means more variety in markets during those fixtures.
While betting markets exist for sports like football, tennis and badminton, cricket has a different style of betting. Football sees few goals in 90 minutes, making draws a common result; limited-overs cricket has no draw — every match ends with a clear win or loss.
Popular betting markets with simple examples
A variety of markets are available in the cricket section at 77bet. Below is a brief explanation of the seven most commonly used markets.
Match Winner
Selecting which team will win the match. The simplest market — if your chosen team wins, the bet is successful; if not, the bet is lost.
Limited OversToss Winner
Betting on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The outcome is entirely independent — it has no relation to pitch conditions or form.
Pre-MatchTop Batsman
Betting on which batter will score the most runs in an innings. Batting order and pitch conditions come into consideration.
PerformanceTotal Runs Over/Under
Whether the total runs scored in an innings will be above or below a set line — for example, above or below 160 runs.
Run LineMulti Bet
Combining selections from multiple matches into a single bet. If all selections are correct, the odds are multiplied and the return is much larger.
ComboOver of First Wicket
Betting on which over the first wicket will fall. This market is usually active during the powerplay.
SpecialtyHandicap Betting
A virtual run advantage or disadvantage is given to one team to balance the contest between stronger and weaker sides. For example, if team B is given a 20-run handicap, even if team B wins by just 15 runs, they lose on the handicap. No specific stake or return example is given here — the key point is how the outcome is determined.
How to read and understand odds
Reading odds is the most important step in learning cricket betting. There are three common formats — decimal, fractional and American. 77bet generally uses decimal format, but knowing all three is useful.
Example 1 — the same value in three formats
Team A to win — stake ৳1,000. Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150. If the bet wins, the return is ৳2,500 (৳1,500 profit + ৳1,000 original stake). If the bet loses, ৳1,000 is gone. All three formats express the same value — only the way of writing differs.
Example 2 — odds on the favourite
Team B to win — stake ৳1,000. Decimal 1.50 = Fractional 1/2 = American -200. American minus odds show how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit. A ৳1,000 stake returns ৳1,500 (৳500 profit). The favourite has lower odds, so the return is lower — but they are considered more likely to win.
In a multi bet, the odds of each selection are multiplied — for example, three selections at 1.40, 1.80 and 1.90 give combined odds of approximately 4.79. A ৳100 stake returns ৳479 if all three are correct — but if even one is wrong, the entire ৳100 is lost. Betting is always for entertainment — winning is not guaranteed. It is important to follow responsible gaming guidelines.
Odds shift with every wicket — how live betting works
As well as pre-match betting, you can place live bets during a match at 77bet. Odds update after every ball — they rise for the batting team when a wicket falls and fall when a big six is hit.
Say team A is doing well in the first 10 overs — team B's odds to win will then rise. Placing a bet on team B at that moment could mean a higher return, because the odds are elevated. But keep in mind — odds reflect the market, not a guarantee of the outcome.
Decisions in live betting need to be made quickly. Over markets at the end of the powerplay, run lines in the death overs — these markets are most active in-play. If a bet is not placed within the time limit, the market closes automatically.
Live markets at 77bet are available through an easy-to-use interface. You can easily follow live matches on mobile via the 77bet App.
Practical advice for cricket betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — not a guaranteed way to make money. The tips below help keep the experience organised.
- Keep a separate budget. Only place bets with money that, if lost, will not affect your daily life.
- Choose markets based on the format. Total runs markets in T20 tend to be more active; match winner markets in Test cricket allow more time.
- Be careful with multi bets. Adding more selections increases the potential return, but one wrong pick means the whole bet is lost — keep that risk in mind.
- Keep emotions in check during live betting. Rather than placing multiple bets in the heat of the moment, take time to think before deciding.
- Treat toss bets separately. The toss depends entirely on chance — statistics and team strength do not apply here.
- Read the rules. Before placing a bet, look over the terms and conditions once, especially the wagering requirements for bonuses.
Beyond cricket — football and other sports
Football Betting
Match winner, both teams to score and handicap markets are available for Premier League, La Liga and international matches. Football has draws as a common result — which makes it different from cricket's two-sided markets.
Other Sports
Various markets are also available for tennis, badminton and kabaddi. Each sport has its own pace and betting structure — the over-based markets of cricket do not apply here.
Casino and More
Beyond sports, 77bet offers live casino, slots and fishing games. Live table games from Evolution and Pragmatic Play Live are available at 77bet Casino.
