Cricket Betting at 77bd — Place smart bets on BPL, IPL and T20 matches
Bet on Bangladesh's most popular sport — from match winner to live in-play, cricket betting at 77bd is simple and fast.
Three cricket formats and which competitions to bet on
T20 — The fastest format
Each team gets only 20 overs, so a result comes within a few hours. Odds move quickly in this format and live betting is at its most active. Both BPL and IPL are played in T20 format, making it the most familiar to Bangladeshi fans.
ODI — One Day International
Strategy plays a bigger role in a 50-over match. ICC tournaments and bilateral series are played in ODI format. The toss and pitch conditions have a significant influence on betting outcomes here.
Test — The longest format
In this five-day format a draw is possible, so the betting markets are different. In Test cricket "match draw" is a separate option, which does not exist in T20 or ODI. Over a long match, pitch changes and weather can affect betting outcomes.
BPL, IPL and international matches
The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) generates special enthusiasm among cricket fans in Bangladesh every season. The strong interest that Bangladesh Tigers supporters show in the league is what makes BPL betting particularly popular. IPL's high-quality cricket and the international excitement of the T20 World Cup are also available on the 77bd betting platform.
In international matches you can bet on the match winner market between Team A and Team B, as well as the series winner market. Odds are updated before and during each match.
Popular betting markets in cricket — how each one works
Each market offers a different way to think about the game. Seven popular markets are briefly explained below.
Match Winner
The simplest market — you decide which team will win the match. For example: in a T20 match between Team A and Team B, you bet on Team A. If Team A wins your bet is successful; if not, you lose the bet.
Toss Winner
A bet on the outcome of the toss before the match starts. This is a pure 50-50 market. The team that wins the toss gets to choose to bat or field — the type of pitch and weather may be worth considering here.
Top Batsman
In this market you bet on which batter will score the most runs in an innings. For example: who will score the highest runs for Team B. Batting order and pitch conditions are important factors in this market.
Total Runs — Over/Under
You choose whether the total runs in an innings or the full match will be above or below a set number. For example: whether Team A's total runs in the first innings will exceed 160. Pitch conditions, the team's batting strength, and the bowling lineup are all relevant here.
Multi Bet
The results of multiple matches are combined into a single bet. You can only win if all selections are correct — if even one is wrong the entire bet is lost. Combined odds in a multi bet are higher, so the risk is also higher.
Powerplay Score
Predicting how many runs will be scored in the first 6 overs of an innings. This market has a different character in T20 versus ODI — the form of the opening batters and the pace bowlers in the lineup are key considerations.
Handicap Market
One team is given a virtual advantage or disadvantage to narrow the gap in strength between the two sides. For example, if Team A is given a +15 run handicap, they can still be considered the winner even if they finish 15 runs behind. Rather than calculating a specific stake or return for this market, simply understand that a handicap is a way of levelling the difference between the two teams.
Odds are written in three ways — what is the difference
The same probability can be expressed in three different formats — decimal, fractional and American. 77bd generally uses the decimal format, which is the easiest to calculate.
| Format | Example (Team A) | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | Total return including stake |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳5 profit for every ৳4 |
| American | +125 | ৳125 profit on ৳100 |
Worked examples (understand before you bet)
Example 1 — Team A wins: Stake ৳500, decimal odds 2.25 (fractional 5/4, American +125). If Team A wins, total return is ৳1,125 — ৳625 profit plus the original ৳500 stake. If Team A loses, the full ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 — Team B is the favourite: Decimal 1.80, fractional 4/5, American -125 (the minus means how much you need to stake to win ৳100). On a ৳500 stake, if Team B wins the total return is ৳900 — meaning ৳400 profit.
Live betting — odds change every over
You can place bets even after a match has started — this is live or in-play betting. Odds change instantly when a wicket falls or a big six is hit. If the batting team gets off to a good start, their odds of winning drop (meaning they are considered more of a favourite).
For example, suppose Team A has scored 130 runs for just 2 wickets after 15 overs. At this point Team A's odds of winning will have dropped considerably from earlier. Reading the situation before making a decision is the main appeal of live betting.
In ODI or Test matches, pitch behaviour changes towards the end of the day and spinners can become more influential. These changes are directly reflected in the live betting markets.
How betting on football and other sports differs
Betting on football is somewhat different from cricket. In football three outcomes are possible — one team wins, the other team wins, or a draw. In T20 and ODI cricket there are no draws (only in Test cricket), so there are only two possible outcomes.
Football has special markets due to extra time and penalty shootouts. In cricket, rules such as the Super Over or DLS method can affect how bets are settled — so it is worth understanding the rules for a specific match before placing a bet.
The betting structure for sports like Kabaddi, Badminton or Tennis is different again. While match winner markets exist in these sports, there are no markets like "total runs" or "top batsman" as in cricket.

Cricket vs Football — key differences
- In cricket (T20/ODI) there are only two outcomes; in football there are three (including a draw).
- Cricket has innings-based markets (runs, wickets, overs).
- In football most markets are settled within 90 minutes.
- Test cricket is the only format that has a draw betting market.
- Weather can directly change the outcome only in cricket betting.
A few things to keep in mind when betting
- Betting is a form of entertainment — play within your limits and only bet what you can afford to lose.
- Before placing a bet, check both teams' recent form, pitch type and weather forecast.
- Adding more selections to a multi bet increases the combined odds, but if even one is wrong the entire bet is lost.
- In live betting, avoid rushing — watch how the match develops before making a decision.
- To learn more about betting, read the Responsible Gaming guide — it has advice on building healthy habits.
- Set your bet amount as a small portion of your total budget so that a loss does not have a big impact.
