Cricket Betting at bet177 — bet on every format from T20 to Test
Every BPL, IPL and international cricket match is now closer than ever. Bet on a range of markets at bet177 — from match winner to top batsman — with clear odds, straightforward payments and live in-play betting.
Cricket Formats and Tournaments — where the difference lies in betting
The biggest appeal of cricket betting is its variety — no two matches are the same. T20 matches finish in just a few hours; every over, every wicket can shift the odds right away. That makes T20 markets the most fast-moving — especially in BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL matches.
In ODI or one-day matches, strategy plays out across fifty overs. How a team starts, where the run rate stands in the middle overs — this information matters to bettors. More markets generally open during the ODI stages of the T20 World Cup or ICC tournaments.
Test cricket is a long five-day contest. A single innings can completely change a team's fortunes here. Pitch conditions, weather and a team's batting depth are more relevant in Test betting than in other formats.
Alongside cricket, bet177 also offers betting on football and other sports. In football, match winner, goals over/under and handicap markets are popular; what makes cricket distinctive is the range of separate markets based on toss, wickets and overs, which are not available in football.
Popular Betting Markets — what each bet involves
There are many markets in cricket betting. The six below are the most commonly played — each one can be understood in a single sentence.
Match Winner
A bet on which team will win the match — in T20 and ODI you simply choose one of the two teams, there is no draw. For example, Team A or Team B — if the team you bet on wins, your bet wins.
Toss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss, placed before the match begins. The toss often plays an important role in cricket — particularly in a team's decision based on the pitch.
Top Batsman
A bet on who will score the most runs within a specific team. There is no set run target — just who will be the highest scorer in that team.
Total Runs Over/Under
A bet on whether the total runs scored in the whole match or a specific innings will be more (over) or less (under) than a set number. Example: whether runs in an innings will exceed 165.
Multi-Bet (Parlay)
A single bet combining multiple matches or markets. All selections must win for the bet to pay out — if even one loses, the entire bet is lost. On a ৳100 bet with three selections, multiplying the odds together can result in a much higher return.
Runs in the First Six Overs
An over/under market on how many runs a team will score during the power play (first six overs). This is very popular in T20 — the openers' form plays a big part in this market.
A Simple Guide to Understanding Odds — three formats at a glance
Betting platforms display odds in three formats: Decimal, Fractional and American. All of them express the same probability and return — only the way they are presented differs.
| Format | Odds for Team A to win | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | A ৳1,000 bet returns a total of ৳2,250 (profit ৳1,250) |
| Fractional | 5/4 | ৳4 staked earns ৳5 profit — the same meaning |
| American | +125 | ৳100 bet earns ৳125 profit — a plus sign means underdog |
The example above is for Team A: Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125. If a ৳1,000 bet wins, the total return is ৳2,250 — comprising ৳1,000 original stake and ৳1,250 profit. If the bet loses, the full ৳1,000 is gone.
Now a favourite example: Team B's odds to win are Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400. In American format, a minus (-) sign means that team is the favourite — you need to stake ৳400 to make ৳100 profit. On a ৳1,000 bet, if Team B wins the total return is ৳1,250 (৳250 profit).
At bet177, odds are generally shown in Decimal format, which most betting users in Bangladesh find easy to read. Many platforms also offer the option to switch formats.
Live In-Play Betting — odds change when a wicket falls
The real appeal of live betting is that the situation changes while the match is in progress. In cricket, when a wicket falls, the batting team's odds go up immediately — because the equation suddenly gets harder. Conversely, when a batsman hits boundaries in a row, the fielding team's odds rise.
After every over, bet177's in-play markets update in real time based on run rate, runs required and wickets remaining. For example, if 60 runs are needed off the last five overs with only three wickets left, the batting team's odds will naturally keep rising.
There is less time to decide in live betting — so think in advance about which team and which market you want to bet on. It is better not to place large bets on sudden impulse.
For those who enjoy crash games or instant-style entertainment outside of cricket, you can check out the Aviator crash game — it is a completely different experience, not live in-play.
What markets are available in in-play betting
- Who takes the next wicket
- Runs scored in the next over
- Match winner (real time)
- Innings total runs over/under
- Next ball: dot / boundary / wicket
Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
Always enjoy betting as entertainment. Keeping the following points in mind will make the experience more organised.
- Choose markets based on the format. In T20, toss winner and power play runs markets are most relevant; in Test, a match winner bet may take several days to settle.
- Focus on one market at a time. Rather than betting on many markets at once from the start, understand one market well — such as match winner or top batsman.
- Set a budget first. Decide how much you will spend per session before you start and stick to that limit. The bet177 VIP programme also offers weekly cashback benefits.
- Do not rush in live betting. Odds change quickly in in-play markets — take even a few seconds to think before deciding, rather than acting on immediate impulse.
- Be careful with multi-bets. Even if the return looks high on a multi-bet, the risk is also higher — one wrong selection and the entire bet is lost.
- Know the rules before you play. Read the terms and conditions page to learn about betting terms and responsible gaming guidelines.
