Cricket Betting at 1777 bat — every match from BPL to the T20 World Cup
Get closer to Bangladesh's most popular sport. Bet across multiple markets — match winner, toss, top batsman and more — because the result can change before the last innings is over.
Cricket's Three Formats and how they differ for betting
What sets cricket apart is its three distinct formats — T20, ODI and Test. The style of play, pitch behaviour and team tactics differ so much across each format that betting markets shift accordingly.
T20 is the fastest format. With only 20 overs per side, every ball carries more weight. Tournaments like BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are played in T20 format, which is why they attract the most betting interest. Odds move quickly in T20 because a single six or a wicket can change the course of a match.
ODI, or one-day cricket, has 50 overs per side, so the pace is more measured and the roles of pace bowlers and spinners are more evenly balanced. The ICC Cricket World Cup, Champions Trophy and bilateral series are played in this format, keeping ODI betting markets active during major tournaments.
Test cricket is the five-day long form of the game. A draw is a valid result, so there are three possible outcomes with separate odds for each. In Tests, pitch conditions, weather and the performance of each session all influence the odds.
BPL and IPL
In domestic T20 leagues, each match finishes in about three hours — meaning live odds move faster here than anywhere else.
ICC Tournaments
In the World Cup and Champions Trophy, teams play with long-term plans, giving more room for pre-match betting analysis.
International Series
When Bangladesh Tigers face international sides in five-day battles, each session creates its own separate market.
How betting on football and other sports differs
Beyond cricket, 1777 bat also offers betting on football, tennis and other international sports. Each sport has its own betting structure.
In a 90-minute football match, three results are possible — home win, away win or draw — so the odds setup differs from cricket. A goalless draw is a valid result, which can make football odds feel less volatile than T20 cricket at times. In live in-play, however, a goal or a red card can change everything.
Cricket's defining feature is that multiple factors — wickets, run rate, powerplay and death overs — all feed into the odds at once. Three quick wickets can shift a team's odds dramatically in moments, something that happens far more often than goals do in football.
Tennis and badminton have set-based betting; kabaddi and other regional sports have markets available in specific seasons. It helps to understand the rhythm of each sport individually, because an approach that works for one may not apply directly to another.
Cricket vs Football — key differences
- Cricket has 2 possible results (T20/ODI) or 3 (Test); football always has 3.
- Cricket has far more wicket events — odds can shift every over.
- A football match is 90 minutes; T20 is around 3 hours; Test is five days.
- Cricket offers specialist markets such as top batsman or highest-scoring over.
- Handicap betting is more common in football; run-line betting is more common in cricket.
5 Popular Markets that attract the most bets
It helps to understand briefly how each market works so you can decide for yourself where to place your bet.
Match Winner
A bet on which of the two teams will win. In T20 and ODI there are only two outcomes — Team A or Team B — making this the ideal market to start with.
Toss Betting
You can bet on the toss result before the match begins. With two equally likely outcomes, the odds are generally close to even.
Top Batsman
A bet on which batsman in a team will score the most runs. Pitch type and batting order are factors to consider.
Total Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs in a match or a specific innings will be above or below a set number. Example: will the total runs exceed 160?
Multi Bet
Combining selections from multiple matches or markets into a single bet. If all selections are correct the return is much higher, but if even one is wrong the entire bet loses.
First Over Runs
A bet on how many runs will be scored in the first over of the match. Many bettors take interest in this market before the powerplay gets under way.
Odds in three formats — Decimal, Fractional and American
The same match odds can appear differently depending on where you look. Knowing the three main formats lets you understand calculations easily on any platform.
Team A to win, stake ৳500:
If Team A wins you receive ৳1,250 back (৳750 profit + ৳500 original stake); if they lose, ৳500 is gone.
Team B to win (favourite), stake ৳500:
American minus odds mean — how much you need to stake to win ৳100 profit. If Team B wins you get ৳625 back (৳125 profit).
Decimal odds are the most familiar to bettors in Bangladesh because the calculation is simplest — multiply your stake by the decimal number to get the total return. Fractional odds come from British tradition and American format is mainly used in North America — all three are just different ways of presenting the same information.

Live In-Play Betting — odds shift the moment a wicket falls
Betting before the match starts is not your only option. With live in-play betting, odds update throughout the game and new bets can be placed at any point.
Say Team A is 90 for 3 after 12 overs in the first innings of a T20. Betting at that point gives different odds on them winning because both run rate and remaining wickets are factored in. If two more wickets fall in the very next over, the odds shift again.
A few things to keep in mind with in-play betting:
- Odds tend to stabilise after the powerplay ends, because the run rate becomes easier to gauge.
- In the death overs (16–20), odds move quickly when big hitters are at the crease.
- In Tests, each session (morning, afternoon, evening) acts as a separate betting window.
- If a cash-out option is available, you can close your bet before the match ends to lock in a profit or limit a loss.
To follow in-play on mobile, you can view live odds directly through the 1777 bat App.
- Bet while watching the match unfold
- React directly after a wicket or an over
- Pre-match and in-play odds are different
- ODI has set betting windows
- In T20, odds can update every ball
Practical tips for cricket betting — for new and experienced bettors alike
Betting is entertainment — a way to engage more closely with cricket. There is no guaranteed way to profit, and every bet carries the possibility of winning or losing. With that in mind, the following tips may be useful.
- Set a budget beforehand: Decide how much you are willing to stake before each match. If you lose on one match, increasing your next bet to recover is not a sound approach.
- Understand one market well: For new bettors, the match winner market is the easiest place to start. Once you are comfortable with that, you can move on to markets like top batsman or total runs.
- Consider pitch and weather: The type of pitch (batting-friendly or bowling-friendly) and the chance of rain can have a significant effect on the match result.
- Be careful with multi bets: Returns are higher with multiple selections, but one wrong pick and the whole bet is lost. If you are not confident about all your selections, start with a small multi bet.
- Bet responsibly: Treat betting as entertainment, not as a source of income. Read the responsible gaming guidelines.
