777bd Cricket Betting — Complete Guide to BPL, IPL and T20 World Cup
The most familiar markets for Bangladesh's most popular sport, all in one place. From match winner to top batsman — every aspect of cricket betting at 777bd is covered here.
Betting markets differ across cricket formats.
T20, ODI and Test — betting differences across three formats
Cricket is played in three main formats, and the betting experience is different in each. T20 is the fastest — an innings is completed in just 20 overs, creating countless betting opportunities from match winner to runs per over. BPL and IPL are both played in this format, and these two tournaments are the most familiar to Bangladeshi fans.
ODI, or One Day International cricket, is a 50-over game where the match tempo shifts gradually, making it more suited to live betting. Odds change through each powerplay and the middle overs. The ICC Cricket World Cup and Bangladesh national team international series are held in this format.
Test cricket is a five-day contest. Matches can end in a draw, so the betting markets are structured differently. Series winner and total runs at the end of each day's play are the more common markets in Test betting.
Besides the T20 World Cup, BPL and IPL, the ICC Champions Trophy and the Asia Cup are also popular with Bangladeshi fans. All these tournaments offer opportunities to follow Bangladesh Tigers' performances and bet across various markets at 777bd.
Betting on football and other sports alongside cricket
Football is the most followed sport in Bangladesh after cricket. Betting on European leagues, the FIFA World Cup and AFC tournaments is growing. Football betting differs somewhat from cricket — for example, a draw is a separate market in football but there is no draw in T20. Football has markets like goal scorer, corner count and half-time score that do not exist in cricket.
Among other sports, kabaddi, tennis and basketball are also gaining popularity. Each sport has its own market types and odds structure — so it is worth understanding the rules of any new sport before placing a bet. Just as odds shift quickly when a wicket falls in cricket, the same happens when a goal is scored in football.
You can enjoy sports betting at 777bd by visiting 777bd Bet's sportsbook section, where markets covering cricket to football are available.
Cricket vs Football Betting
In cricket a draw is rare (except in Test), so markets typically have two outcomes. In football there are three — home win, draw, away win. This difference directly affects how odds are structured and plays an important role when building multi bets.
7 markets that receive the most bets
Each market is explained briefly with examples below — all figures are for illustration only and do not represent actual markets.
Match Winner
Which of the two teams will win — the simplest market. Example: Team A vs Team B, bet on whichever team you think is more likely to win.
Toss Winner
Who will win the toss at the start of the match — settled before the match even begins. The toss matters in T20 because the advantage of pitch and innings choice changes.
Top Batsman
Who will score the most runs in a team or across the whole match. Example: bet on the player listed with the lowest odds to be the top run-scorer for Team A.
Total Runs Over/Under
Whether the runs in an innings will be more or less than a set line (e.g. 160). If you think Team A will score 170 — bet Over; if you think 150 — bet Under.
First Wicket Partnership
How many runs the first two openers will put on together. Odds on this market tend to be attractive in T20 because wickets fall quickly.
Multi Bet
Multiple markets combined — if all selections are correct, all the odds are multiplied together. Example: three selections at 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.90 = 4.26 — a ৳100 bet returns ৳426, but one wrong selection cancels the entire bet.
Betting Exchange Market
In exchange betting you can bet not only for a team (BACK) but also against one (LAY). Example: BACK Team A at decimal odds of 1.80 — on a ৳1,000 bet, if Team A wins you make ৳800 profit (before commission); if they do not win you lose ৳1,000. If you LAY, your liability is ৳800 (৳1,000 × 0.80) — if Team A does not win you receive ৳1,000 before commission; if they do win you pay out ৳800.
Three types of odds formats can be used for the same bet.
Decimal, Fractional and American — three formats saying the same thing
Odds can seem complicated at first, but all three formats express the same information in three different ways. Keep the two examples below in mind and everything becomes clear.
| Format | Team A wins | Team B wins (favourite) |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.50 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 1/2 |
| American | +125 | -200 |
Example 1 (Team A): At decimal odds of 2.25, a ৳1,000 bet returns ৳2,250 if you win (৳1,250 profit + ৳1,000 stake). If you lose, ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 (Team B — favourite): Decimal 1.50 means a ৳1,000 bet returns ৳1,500 if you win (৳500 profit). American -200 means you need to bet ৳200 to win ৳100 profit.
The higher the number, the less likely that outcome is considered to be — and the higher the potential profit. 2.25 is higher than 1.50, meaning Team A is considered less likely to win than favourite Team B.
How odds change while a match is in progress
In live or in-play betting you can place bets after the match has started. In cricket this is especially engaging because the situation changes with every ball. When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds lengthen and the bowling team's odds shorten — because the probability of each outcome shifts in an instant.
If Team A has scored only 40 runs at the end of the powerplay with a target of 170, their odds of winning will drift out. But if only 35 runs are needed off the last 5 overs, the odds will shift again. This constant movement is what makes live betting so popular in cricket.
In Test cricket in-play betting takes a longer view — pitch conditions change across a full day's sessions, rain breaks shift the odds, and bets on the remaining matches in a series run alongside.
To place live bets on 777bd from your mobile, you can access everything easily at any time through the 777bd app.
In in-play betting, odds are updated with every over.
A few things to keep in mind with cricket betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — it is not a source of income. Keeping the points below in mind will make the experience more enjoyable.
- Start with the format you know best. The fast pace of T20 and the long shifts in Test are completely different.
- Set a fixed budget and stay within it. Whatever the outcome of one match, it is best to avoid the mindset of chasing losses in the next match.
- Multi bets offer higher potential returns but carry higher risk too — one wrong selection cancels the entire bet. Think carefully before combining 3 or more selections.
- Live betting requires quick decisions. Having a plan in advance for what you will do in different situations helps you stay level-headed.
- To read more about responsible betting, see the responsible gaming guide — it covers setting limits and self-exclusion in detail.
- Knowing the terms and conditions prevents issues with bonuses and withdrawals. It is worth reading the terms and conditions before you start.
Betting is for entertainment — set a budget before you play.
