Bet on cricket at bet777 — place bets on BPL, IPL and international matches
From T20 to Test — enjoy cricket even more at bet777 with live odds, multiple betting markets and the convenience of Bangladeshi payment methods across all formats.
T20, ODI and Test — differences in betting across three formats
Each of cricket's three formats has a different character when it comes to betting. In T20, results can turn within twenty overs, so odds change fast. Tournaments like BPL and IPL are played in T20 format, and both hold a special place for cricket fans in Bangladesh. The passion for supporting the Tigers in Dhaka's stands is matched by strong interest in online betting.
In ODI, or one-day matches, the game builds over fifty overs. Top batsman and highest wicket-taker bets are popular here because the team's reliable batters are well known. The betting market is at its busiest during international tournaments like the T20 World Cup and ICC Champions Trophy.
Test cricket is a five-day game — and it offers even more betting markets. Innings performance, who will take the lead in the first innings, or whether the match will be drawn — these are the kinds of bets available in Test that are not possible in T20 or ODI. All three formats are available at bet777, so choosing your preferred game is straightforward.
Popular betting markets in cricket
The range of bet types makes cricket betting varied. Each market is different — here is a simple explanation of seven main markets.
Match Winner
A bet on which of the two teams will win. Team A or Team B — this is the simplest market. There is no draw in T20, so there are only two options.
Toss winner
A bet on which team will win the toss. The toss can matter depending on pitch and conditions, but it is essentially a 50-50 bet.
Top batsman
A bet on who will score the most runs in a team or in the entire match. The form of the team's main batter is taken into account.
Total runs over/under
A bet on whether the total runs in an innings or the whole match will be above or below a set number. Example: whether an innings will produce more than 160 runs.
Multi bet
Placing three or more bets together on a single ticket. Example: three bets across three separate matches at odds of 1.50, 1.70 and 1.80 give combined odds of 1.50 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.59 — a ৳100 stake returns ৳459 if all selections are correct. However, if even one bet loses, the entire stake is lost.
Top wicket-taker
A bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in the whole match or in a single innings. Pitch conditions — pace vs spin — are relevant here.
Runs in the first over
A bet on how many runs will be scored in the first over of an innings. This market is popular in T20 because the powerplay is very important.
Decimal, fractional and American odds — the difference between all three
Three formats of odds can be seen at most online sportsbooks including bet777. Bangladeshi players are generally most comfortable with decimal format because the calculation is straightforward.
| Format | How it is written | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | Total return including the stake is 2.25 times the amount bet |
| Fractional | 5/4 | Profit of ৳5 on a ৳4 stake |
| American | +125 | Profit of ৳125 on a ৳100 stake (plus means underdog) |
Example 1 — Team A to win, stake ৳200: Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125. If the bet wins, total return is ৳450 (৳250 profit + original ৳200 stake back); if the bet loses, ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — Favourite Team B to win, stake ৳200: Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400 (minus means favourite; ৳400 must be staked to win ৳100 profit). On a ৳200 stake this bet returns ৳250 in total (only ৳50 profit).
Whatever the odds format — the higher the decimal number, the greater the potential return, but the lower the chance of winning. The betting markets at bet777 are all shown in decimal format, so the calculation is easy to follow.
LIVE Live betting — odds change every over
The most engaging part of cricket betting is live or in-play betting. You can place bets even after the match has started, and the odds shift with every wicket or big over.
Say Team A makes a strong start in the powerplay of the first innings — Team B's odds of winning will lengthen because their task has become harder. Then if Team A suddenly loses three wickets, the gap can close and the odds may level up quickly. Picking those moments in live betting is what makes it interesting.
In T20, the situation in the last five overs changes very fast — a single six can bring the odds down in an instant. In ODI and Test the changes come more slowly, so there is more time to read the flow of the match and decide.
Keep in mind that live betting requires quick decisions. With the bet777 app, you can follow the live score on mobile and place bets easily.
Football and other sports betting
Football is the most popular sport in Bangladesh after cricket. There is extra interest in the betting market during the English Premier League, UEFA Champions League and FIFA World Cup. In football a draw is possible — as in Test cricket — so there are three options in the market: Team A wins, draw, or Team B wins.
In cricket there is no draw (in T20 and ODI) — so there are only two outcomes. This makes the match winner bet somewhat simpler in cricket than in football. However, cricket offers far more in-match markets — separate betting opportunities on wickets, overs, runs and boundaries.
Alongside football, there are also betting markets for sports such as tennis, badminton and kabaddi. Each sport has its own market structure, so the style of betting differs from cricket.
Those interested in casino games as well can find a large collection of live casino and slots at bet777 Casino.
Cricket vs football betting — key differences
- Number of outcomes: only 2 in cricket (T20/ODI), 3 in football (win/draw/loss)
- In-match markets: more in cricket — new bets possible every over
- Match length: T20 up to 3 hours, Test five days — betting strategy differs accordingly
- Local interest: cricket betting is more popular in Bangladesh for BPL and Bangladesh Tigers matches
Things to keep in mind for cricket betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — not a way to make money. Keeping the following points in mind helps you have a better experience.
Set a budget
Decide in advance how much you will bet per match or per week. It is important not to bet beyond your budget.
Focus on one market
Start by understanding one or two markets well. Betting across many markets at once makes things complicated.
No rushing in live betting
In-play odds change fast. Rather than placing a large bet in a hurry, take time to read how the match is going before deciding.
Be prepared to accept losses
In cricket, any team can lose on any given day. Placing more bets on emotion after a loss is not a good idea.
