777bd Cricket Betting — Complete Guide to Betting on BPL, IPL and International Matches
From Test to T20 — understand odds across all formats, get to know the popular markets, and enjoy live betting. This page explains the essentials of cricket betting in plain language.
Cricket's Three Formats and Bangladesh's Favourite Tournaments
Cricket is more than a sport for people in Bangladesh — it carries deep emotion. Every match the Tigers play brings its own excitement, and betting adds another dimension to that. At 777bd you can bet on all three main formats.
T20: The fastest format. The situation can change every over, so odds shift quickly too. BPL and IPL are both T20 tournaments.
ODI: In a fifty-over match, both strategy and endurance matter. This format features heavily in the T20 World Cup and ICC tournaments.
Test: In this five-day format, a batsman's patience and a bowler's consistency are tested. A draw is a valid result, so there are three markets — Team A wins, Team B wins, or Draw.
BPL is the biggest domestic cricket tournament in Bangladesh. Each season the country's top players compete against each other. IPL is an Indian tournament, but Bangladeshi fans and bettors follow it with equal interest. And in ICC tournaments, every Tigers match draws special attention across the country.
Football and Other Sports — What's the Difference?
Football Betting
Football has three possible outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins, or Draw. In limited-overs cricket there is no draw, so you choose between two outcomes. Handicap markets are more common in football because when there is a big gap in strength between two teams, the stronger side is given a goal disadvantage.
Badminton and Others
In individual sports like tennis, badminton or table tennis, a player's recent form plays a big role in betting. Visit the badminton betting page to find out more. These sports have fewer markets than cricket, but understanding the odds is just as important.
What Makes Cricket Betting Different
Cricket offers a much wider variety of betting markets. Who wins the toss, which batsman scores the most runs, what the total runs will be — these detailed markets are less common in football. In a T20 match, live odds update after every over at a speed much faster than football, because the situation in cricket changes rapidly.
Popular Betting Markets and How to Place a Bet
777bd offers many cricket markets. Each market gives you a different type of decision to make. Below are the seven most familiar markets explained.
Match Winner
The simplest market — pick which team will win. Two options in T20 and ODI, three in Test (including Draw). Example: Team A vs Team B — if you bet on Team B and they win, you receive the payout.
All FormatsToss Winner
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The toss matters in cricket, especially on spin-friendly pitches. As both teams have roughly equal chances, the odds are usually close.
T20 · ODITop Batsman
Which batsman will score the most runs in the innings — you pick one player from a team. Top-order batsmen tend to be the most popular choices here.
All FormatsTotal Runs Over/Under
The bookmaker sets a runs line. You decide whether the total runs will be above it (Over) or below it (Under). Example: on a line of 155 — if Team A scores 148, the "Under" wins.
T20 · ODITop Bowler
Which bowler will take the most wickets in the innings. This market becomes particularly interesting in matches where spinners dominate. The pace-spin balance depends on pitch conditions.
Test · ODIMulti Bet
Multiple selections are combined into a single bet. If all selections are correct, you win at the combined odds. If one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost — so the risk is higher, but so is the potential payout.
All FormatsHandicap Betting
When there is a large gap in strength between two teams, the handicap market levels the odds. The weaker team is given a virtual run advantage. If Team A is given a 15-run handicap, that 15 runs is added to the final result to determine the winner — no specific stake or return amount is relevant here.
Understanding Odds — A Simple Guide to Three Formats
An odds number is what the bookmaker gives you to show how much you will receive if an event wins. It is written in three ways.
Most commonly seen in Western Europe and Bangladesh.
Common in the UK. ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked.
Used in the United States. "+" indicates the profit amount.
Example 1: A bet on Team A to win has odds of decimal 3.00, fractional 2/1, American +200. A ৳200 bet returns a total of ৳600 if Team A wins (৳400 profit plus the original ৳200 stake). If Team A does not win, the ৳200 is lost.
Example 2: The favourite Team B to win has odds of decimal 1.80, fractional 4/5, American -125. A negative American odds figure shows how much you need to stake to win ৳100. A ৳200 bet returns ৳360 if Team B wins (৳160 profit).
Live Betting — How Odds Change When a Wicket Falls
Live betting means placing bets while the match is in progress. The odds that existed before the match can change after every ball.
Say Team A has scored 75 runs in 10 overs and lost 2 wickets in a T20 match. At that point Team A appear more likely to win, so their odds shorten — meaning you get less back if they win. But if two more wickets fall in the next over, the situation changes, Team B's odds shorten and Team A's odds lengthen.
A few things to keep in mind with live betting:
- Odds change quickly after a wicket — betting may often be briefly suspended.
- The rate of odds movement differs at the end of the powerplay compared to the middle overs.
- The Duckworth-Lewis method revises the target when rain shortens a match, which also affects the odds.
- Live markets also include smaller options such as runs per over, method of the next wicket, or the outcome of the next ball.
Betting should always be enjoyed as entertainment. Every bettor has a responsibility to follow responsible gambling guidelines.
A Few Things Worth Knowing Before You Start Betting
Set a Budget
Decide in advance how much you are willing to spend. Betting is entertainment — treating it as a source of income can cause problems. Never go beyond your set budget.
Understand One Market Well
Starting with Match Winner is the easiest approach. Making a sound decision in one market is more effective than placing bets across many markets at once.
Bet According to the Format
T20 and Test matches move at different speeds. In T20, a single over can change the match. In Test, situations build slowly. Each format has its own character.
Compare Odds
Odds for the same market can differ across bookmakers. Before placing a bet, read the odds carefully and understand how much you could receive.
Be Careful with Multi Bets
A multi bet offers higher combined odds, but one wrong selection and the whole bet is gone. Start with fewer selections when practising multi bets.
