Cricket Betting at bet 1777 — from BPL to the T20 World Cup
Cricket, the most beloved sport in Bangladesh, is now even more engaging in the sports section at bet 1777. You can bet on every international cricket match — including BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup — across a range of markets such as match winner, toss, top batsman and over/under.
The Three Formats of Cricket and Bangladesh's Favourite Tournaments
Before getting into cricket betting, it helps to understand the difference between formats, because the pace of play and the nature of results vary — and that affects markets and odds.
T20: The shortest and fastest format. Each team faces only 20 overs, so the course of a match can change at any moment. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are both played in this format. Live betting is especially popular in T20 matches because odds shift with every over.
ODI (One Day International): This 50-over format has a broader scope of play. Major international series including the ICC Cricket World Cup are held in ODI format. The balance between batting and bowling matters more here.
Test: In this five-day format, the possibility of a draw means the betting market is different. Three outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins, draw — are available here, which is not the case in T20 or ODI.
BPL and the Tigers' international matches attract the most attention from Bangladesh fans. The T20 World Cup and IPL are also hugely popular here.
T20
Fast pace, high scores and tense final overs — BPL and IPL are played in this format.
ODI and Test
Big-stage cricket — from the ICC World Cup to bilateral series.
Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, football also has a strong presence in the bet 1777 sports section. You can bet on FIFA World Cup, English Premier League and European competition matches.
There is one key structural difference between cricket and football betting — T20 and ODI cricket have no draw, so you bet between only two outcomes. Test cricket and football both have three-outcome markets (win, loss, draw), which means the odds are arranged differently.
Beyond sports betting, bet 1777 also offers live casino and slot games at bet 1777 Casino, which can be an alternative way to pass the time between matches.
Popular Cricket Betting Markets
Each market works differently and carries a different level of risk. Here is a brief introduction to seven markets.
Match Winner
The most straightforward market — pick which team will win the match. With only two options in T20 or ODI, it is easy to understand. Example: if you choose Team A, your bet wins only if Team A wins.
Toss Winner
Which team will win the toss before the match starts — this market is completely separate from the match result. Since a toss is a 50-50 event, both teams' odds are usually close to each other.
Top Batsman
In this market you pick which player will score the most runs in the match. With multiple options available, the odds are higher, but predicting correctly is also harder.
Total Runs Over/Under
Whether the total runs scored in a match or innings will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. Example: if you pick over on a line of 160, your bet wins if total runs reach 161 or more.
Multi Bet
Combine multiple matches or markets into one bet — if all selections win, the return is larger. However, if even one selection loses, the entire bet is lost. See the odds section below for more details.
Innings Wickets
A bet on how many total wickets will fall in the first or second innings. Pitch conditions and the bowling attack directly influence this market.
Handicap Betting
The market is created by giving the stronger team a virtual run or wicket deficit. When there is a large gap between two teams, handicap markets bring the odds for both sides closer together.
How Decimal, Fractional and American Odds Work
At bet 1777, odds for the same match may be shown in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three formats convey the same information; only the way they are written differs.
| Format | Team A Win Odds | Odds for Team B to win |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.50 |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 1/2 |
| American | +150 | −200 |
Team A (underdog) example: A ৳500 bet returns ৳1,250 if Team A wins (৳750 profit + ৳500 original stake). If Team A loses, the full ৳500 is gone.
Team B (favourite) example: A ৳500 bet on Team B returns ৳750 if Team B wins (৳250 profit). In American format, −200 means you need to bet ৳200 to make ৳100 profit.
For a multi bet, the decimal odds of three selections are multiplied — for example 1.40 × 1.70 × 1.90 = 4.52 (approximately). So a ৳100 multi bet returns ৳452 if all selections win. If even one fails, the entire ৳100 is lost.
Odds Shift When Wickets Fall — How Live Betting Works
Regular betting is placed before a match begins, but live or in-play betting takes place while the match is ongoing. This is the most dynamic part of cricket betting.
Every over, every wicket and the outcome of a powerplay can change market odds in an instant. Say a team is in a strong position at 15 overs — the odds for that team to win will shorten and the other team's odds will lengthen.
Live betting in T20 is especially challenging because just a few balls in the final over can turn a match around. You can track live odds on mobile through the bet 1777 App.
Live betting requires quick decisions because odds can shift within seconds. It is worth taking time to understand the markets and the rules before you start.
Things to Keep in Mind Before You Start Cricket Betting
Understand the market before you bet
Each market has its own rules. Read the terms for each one — from match winner to total runs — before placing a bet. All betting guidelines are available on the bet 1777 Terms and Conditions page.
Set your budget in advance
Decide on a fixed amount for each betting session and stay within that limit. Betting is entertainment — you should not place more bets trying to recover money you have lost.
Start small
If you are trying live betting for the first time, start with small bets. Watching a few matches will help you see how odds move.
Be careful with multi bets
Multi bets can offer larger returns but carry much higher risk. If all selections do not win, the entire bet is lost. It is better not to stake large amounts on multi bets.
Play responsibly
Betting is for entertainment only — it is not a source of income. bet 1777 is committed to responsible gaming. Visit the Responsible Gaming page for information on setting limits and betting responsibly.
