Cricket Formats and Major Tournaments
The first step in cricket betting is understanding the formats — because strategy, pace and odds work differently across T20, ODI and Test. The available markets also vary by format.
| Format | Duration | Betting Features | Notable Tournaments |
|---|---|---|---|
| T20 | 20 overs per side | Fastest format; odds shift with every ball; powerplay bets are popular | BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup |
| ODI | 50 overs per side | Mid-paced format; innings building, batter and bowler markets are equally important | ICC World Cup, Asia Cup, bilateral series |
| Test | Up to five days | Longest format; pitch, weather and innings markets all influence betting | ICC World Test Championship, bilateral series |
BPL
The Bangladesh Premier League is the country's most talked-about T20 tournament. The high excitement in every match keeps betting markets active.
IPL and International Series
The Indian Premier League is one of the biggest T20 leagues in the world. Alongside it, ICC tournaments and bilateral series also offer plenty of betting opportunities.
Bangladesh Tigers Matches
Betting interest is naturally high for every international match of the Bangladesh national team. Especially in T20 and ODI matches, live markets shift quickly.
Betting on Football and Other Sports
Beyond cricket, football is also well known in the Bangladeshi betting community. However, the way betting works differs between the two sports.
In cricket, a draw is a valid result (in Test matches), so there is a three-way market — Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw. T20 and ODI matches generally do not end in draws, so it is a straight bet between two teams. In football a draw is always possible, which gives the odds a different structure.
Cricket has many smaller markets — toss winner, first ball outcome, over-by-over runs — that do not exist in football. Football tends to have more markets like goalscorer, half-time score or corner count.
At 177bet, there are markets to bet on sports other than cricket and football as well. However, cricket remains the most played sport among Bangladeshi bettors.
Popular Cricket Betting Markets
Several types of betting markets are available for cricket at 177bet. Below are the most commonly used markets along with a simple example for each.
Match Winner
Simply pick which team will win. In T20 and ODI there are only two options — Team A or Team B. It is a straightforward market, which is why it is the most common choice among new bettors.
Toss Winner
Bet on who will win the toss. This market closes before the match starts. When the toss is important due to pitch or weather conditions, this market tends to attract more attention.
Top Batter
Bet on who will score the most runs for a given team. Since there are multiple options in a squad, odds are generally higher.
Total Runs
Choose whether the total runs in an innings will be over or under a set number. Pitch pace and weather play a significant role here.
Multi Bet
Bet on multiple markets at once — if all selections are correct, the individual odds are multiplied together. Example: three selections with odds of 1.40, 1.70 and 1.90 give combined odds of 4.52, so a ৳100 stake returns ৳452. However, if even one selection is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Highest-Scoring Over
Which over will have the most runs, or at what score will the first wicket fall — these specialist markets are popular among experienced bettors.
Handicap Betting
In this market, the weaker team is given a notional advantage (in runs or wickets). For example, if Team A is given a 20-run handicap, they must overcome that margin to win the bet. The outcome is judged on this basis — no specific stake or return example is given.
Top Bowler Market
Bet on who will take the most wickets in an innings. When a team has several fast and spin bowling options, this market offers more choices and generally higher odds.
How to Read Odds — Three Formats
Betting sites display three types of odds: decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same probability — only the way they are written differs.
Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125. If Team A wins with a ৳200 stake, the return is ৳450 (৳250 profit + ৳200 stake back). If Team A loses, the full ৳200 is gone.
Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American -125. American minus odds show how much you need to stake to win ৳100. Here, a ৳200 stake returns ৳360 (৳160 profit).
The decimal format is the simplest — just multiply the number by your stake to get the total return. It is the most straightforward for new bettors. For more information about betting and answers to common questions, you can visit the FAQ page.
Live In-Play Betting — Odds Change with Every Wicket and Over
In-play or live betting means placing bets while a match is in progress. In cricket this is particularly interesting because every wicket, boundary or maiden over instantly shifts the odds.
Say Team A is in a strong position at the 10th over — at that moment their odds to win will be lower. But if two wickets fall in the next over, the odds can quickly reverse. This constant movement is what makes in-play betting different.
After the powerplay, through the middle overs, or in the death overs — the nature of the market changes at every stage of the match. In Test matches, as pitch conditions deteriorate, the chance of spinners taking wickets can increase, and this is reflected in bowler markets too.
Live betting requires quick decisions because odds update every moment. The 177bet mobile app shows live scores and odds together, which makes in-play betting easier.
Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — it is not a reliable source of income. The tips below will help you play in a planned way. For detailed responsible gambling guidance, read the responsible gambling page.
- Set a budget. Before each match, decide how much you will bet and keep it separate. Do not go beyond that limit even if you lose.
- Choose markets based on the format. In T20, total runs markets are active; in Test, innings results and pitch markets are more relevant. Applying the same approach to every format increases the chance of mistakes.
- Do not overload your multi bet. More selections mean more risk. The more you add beyond three or four, the faster the chance of getting all of them right drops.
- Avoid rushing in live betting. Just because odds change quickly does not mean you need to bet in a hurry. Take a moment and assess the state of the match first.
- Accept losses. Losing is a normal part of betting. It is better not to chase losses by immediately placing a bigger bet — that only increases the damage.
- Know the rules before you bet. Read the terms of bonuses and promotions beforehand. You will find all the details on the terms and conditions page.
