Cricket betting at 77abc — bet on every match from BPL to the T20 World Cup
Cricket is the most loved sport in Bangladesh — and that is why cricket betting gets the most attention at 77abc. Alongside T20, ODI and Test matches, you can bet across various markets on every match in BPL, IPL and international tournaments.
T20, ODI and Test — what does each format offer?
The style of play differs across the three formats, so the betting markets and strategies differ too. Getting to know each one makes it easier to decide before placing a bet.
T20
Just 20 overs per match. Last-moment swings happen far more often. BPL and IPL are primarily T20 tournaments, so live betting odds change fastest here.
ODI
A 50-over match gives much more time to read the game. ICC World Cup and bilateral series are mainly played in the ODI format. The total runs over/under market is popular here.
Test
In a five-day Test match a draw is possible, so there are three outcomes — Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw. The match winner market includes all three options, which is different from T20 and ODI.
Bet on Bangladesh's favourite tournaments
The BPL is Bangladesh's biggest T20 franchise league. Alongside it, various markets are also open at 77abc during IPL, T20 World Cup and ICC tournament matches. When the Tigers are playing, interest rises even further — from the toss bet through to top batsman, all markets are active at those times.
7 popular betting markets at a glance
Cricket betting is not limited to just "who will win." Understanding the different markets creates new opportunities in every over.
Match Winner
Which team will win the match — this is the simplest market. Example: Team A vs Team B — you place a bet on Team B to win. If Team B wins, your bet is successful.
Toss Bet
You can bet on which side will win the toss before the match starts. The outcome is entirely independent — the flow of play has no effect.
Top Batsman
You can bet on which batter within a specific team will score the most runs. Popular in both T20 and ODI.
Total Runs — Over/Under
The bookmaker sets a number — for example "160". Your bet is on whether the total runs in the match will be more (over) or less (under) than that number. This bet depends largely on your read of the pace of the match.
Top Bowler
Which bowler will take the most wickets — this market works in the same way as top batsman. It is particularly popular in Test and ODI.
Multi Bet
You can combine selections from multiple matches into a single bet. You win the total only if all selections are correct — one wrong selection and the entire bet loses.
Man of the Match
You can bet on which player will be named the best player at the end of the match. This market is generally more common in ODI and Test.
Decimal, Fractional and American — a simple guide to three types of odds
Odds may look different but the core meaning is the same — how much you get back if your bet wins. Decimal odds are most commonly seen at 77abc, but knowing all three formats helps in any situation.
| Odds Format | For Team A | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | A ৳1,000 bet returns a total of ৳2,250 if it wins (৳1,250 profit + ৳1,000 stake) |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳5 profit for every ৳4 staked — meaning ৳1,250 profit on a ৳1,000 bet |
| American | +125 | A plus sign means ৳125 profit on a ৳100 bet — ৳1,250 profit on a ৳1,000 bet |
The three odds above — decimal 2.25, fractional 5/4 and American +125 — all mean the same thing. A ৳1,000 bet on Team A to win returns a total of ৳2,250 if it wins (including ৳1,250 profit); if it loses, you lose ৳1,000.
Odds are lower for the favourite. For example, decimal 1.25 on Team B to win is fractional 1/4 or American -400. The American minus sign means you need to stake ৳400 to make ৳100 profit. A ৳1,000 bet returns a total of ৳1,250 if it wins (৳250 profit). Lower odds mean the bookmaker considers that outcome more likely.
Multi Bet Calculation
If you combine three selections — decimal 1.40, 1.50 and 1.60 — into a multi bet, the combined odds are:
1.40 × 1.50 × 1.60 = 3.36
A ৳100 stake returns ৳336 if all selections win. But if even one loses, the entire ৳100 is lost. Multi bets offer higher returns but carry higher risk.
When a wicket falls, when an over ends — live odds change
It is not just about placing bets before the match — live betting lets you change your bets while the game is in progress. When a wicket falls, the batting side's odds go up; when runs flow heavily in the power play, the total runs market number moves up.
In the final over, if Team A is on track to win, Team A's odds drop sharply — because the probability of them winning is then very high. Similarly, if a batting collapse happens suddenly, the odds flip. Live betting demands quick decisions and is primarily for entertainment.

How is betting on football and other sports different?
Football is almost as popular in Bangladesh as cricket. In Premier League, World Cup or Champions League matches, the number of markets can be even greater than in cricket — because in football you can bet on goals, corners, yellow cards and more across 90 minutes.
In cricket, a draw is only possible in Test; T20 and ODI generally have a single result. In football there are regularly three outcomes — Team A wins, draw, Team B wins — so odds in the match winner market are divided somewhat differently.
Betting is also available on tennis, badminton and volleyball. The type of markets differs for each sport — but the way odds work is the same everywhere. If you are interested in slots or casino games beyond cricket, visit the 77abc Slots page for more details.
A few useful things to know before starting cricket betting
Understand one market well first
Rather than betting across all markets at once, pick one or two to start with. Match winner or toss — these are straightforward and results come quickly.
Set your budget beforehand
Decide how much you will stake each session before you begin. Whatever the outcome, not going beyond that limit is a good habit. Get to know the responsible betting guidelines.
Do not rush in live betting
Odds change fast in live betting, so keep a clear head when making decisions. Placing large bets on impulse is often something you will regret.
Be restrained with multi bets
Multi bets offer higher returns, but getting all selections right is difficult. Adding more selections lowers your chances of winning — going beyond three is often risky.
Betting is entertainment, not a way to earn
Cricket betting is entertainment. No method guarantees a certain win. Enjoying betting is only possible if you are prepared to lose.
