Cricket Betting at 77abc — Best Odds and Markets for BPL, IPL and International Matches
From T20 to Test — a detailed guide to understanding odds in every format, popular bet types and live betting.
Cricket Formats and Tournaments — What to Bet On in Each
Cricket is played in three main formats — T20, ODI and Test. T20 draws the most interest in Bangladesh because matches finish quickly and the result can change on every ball. BPL is the country's biggest T20 franchise tournament, where local and overseas stars play together. IPL is the most-watched T20 league in the world, and every match attracts huge interest in Bangladesh.
In ODI cricket, teams plan their innings within the 50-over limit, so markets around total runs and run rate are very active. During ICC events, the match winner market for games involving the Tigers is the busiest. In Test cricket odds move more slowly, but since a draw is possible there are three separate outcome markets — team A wins, team B wins or draw.
Betting on football and other sports works a bit differently — football has a continuous 90-minute flow, whereas in cricket the odds can shift instantly when a wicket falls or an over ends.

7 Popular Betting Markets — With Examples
Cricket betting is not only about picking who wins a match — there are many types of markets where specific knowledge comes in useful.
Match Winner
Pick which team will win the match. In T20 and ODI there are only two outcomes (team A or team B); in Test there are three — including the draw. Its simplicity makes this the most widely used market.
T20 ODI TestToss Betting
You can bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result is unrelated to the match outcome, so this market settles quickly.
Pre-MatchTop Batsman
Bet on who will score the most runs for a team. This market becomes more interesting when you consider the form of the team's best batter and the nature of the pitch.
BattingTotal Runs (Over/Under)
Choose whether the total runs in an innings will be more (over) or fewer (under) than a set number. Example: if the line is 160 and team A scores 175, "over" wins.
T20 ODITop Bowler
Bet on who will take the most wickets in the match. Whether it is a pace-friendly or spin-friendly pitch — reading the pitch report makes it easier to decide in this market.
BowlingMulti Bet
Combine selections from multiple matches into a single bet. If all selections are correct the odds multiply and the return increases — but if even one is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Multi Multiple MatchesFirst Wicket Method
Bet on how the first wicket of an innings will fall — bowled, caught, run out, LBW. Analysing the bowling strength in the opening overs helps you understand this market better.
SpecialtyThree Ways to Read Odds — Explained With Examples
Odds are written in three formats across different platforms — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same outcome in a different way.
| Format | Odds for Team A to win | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | ৳1,000 stake → you get back ৳3,000 (৳2,000 profit + original stake) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked — so ৳2,000 profit on a ৳1,000 bet |
| American | +200 | A + sign means ৳200 profit on a ৳100 stake; a ৳1,000 bet returns ৳3,000 |
When team B is the favourite, decimal odds are lower, for example 1.50 (fractional 1/2, American -200). A winning ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,500 (৳500 profit). American minus odds mean you need to stake that amount to make ৳100 profit — this is how favourite odds are shown.
These examples are used only to explain how to read odds — they are not live odds and do not guarantee a win.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Change Over by Over
Live Betting — when match conditions change, the odds change immediately with them.
Say team B is 90 for 4 after 15 overs in a T20 match and needs 50 more runs to win. At that moment the match winner odds for team A will shorten because they are ahead. But if team B scores 18 off the next over, the odds could level up again.
Odds Movement on Wickets
After each wicket, if the batting team is under pressure their odds lengthen — the bowling team's odds shorten.
Run-Rate Pressure
If the required run rate is high in the final overs, the batting team's chances of winning fall and the odds reflect that immediately.
Markets at the Innings Break
Once the first innings ends and the target is set, new markets open for the second innings.
Next Over Markets
In live betting there are also short-term markets such as how many runs will be scored in the next over or whether a wicket will fall.
Multi Bet and Betting Exchange — How They Work
A multi bet is a way of combining multiple selections into one bet. If all selections are correct the odds multiply — but if any one of them is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Example — 3 selections:
- Selection 1 — Odds 1.40
- Selection 2 — Odds 1.50
- Selection 3 — Odds 1.90
Combined odds: 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.90 = 3.99 (approx). A ৳100 bet returns ৳399 if all three selections are correct — if even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
On a betting exchange you bet against other bettors. BACK means placing a bet that team A will win; LAY means accepting other bettors' bets that team A will lose. If you BACK team A at decimal odds of 2.50 with ৳500 and win, your profit is ৳750 (before commission); if you lose, you lose ৳500. If you LAY team A and they do not win, you receive ৳500; but if they win, you are liable for ৳750.
These calculations are for understanding only — they are not live odds and do not promise a win. Betting is a form of entertainment.
Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
Understand the Format Before You Bet
Teams plan differently in T20, ODI and Test. Consider which format each team performs better in.
Read the Pitch and Weather Report
On a spin-friendly pitch it makes sense to pick a spinner in the top bowler market. If rain is forecast, there is a chance of over reduction.
Stick to a Budget
Decide how much you are willing to spend before each bet. Placing large bets under pressure after a loss is not a good idea — betting is entertainment, not a way to earn money.
Stay Patient in Live Betting
In in-play betting, avoid rushing in the heat of the moment — wait for the situation to settle before making a decision. After a wicket falls it may take a few seconds for the odds to stabilise.
Follow Team News
If a key player is missing due to injury or rest, it can cause a big shift in the odds. Stay alert until the playing eleven is announced before the match.
Play Responsibly
