Cricket Betting at bet177 — Complete Guide to the Best Odds and Markets for BPL, IPL and International Matches
From T20 to Test, from BPL to the T20 World Cup — bet on every format at bet177 using familiar Bangladeshi payment methods. Find out how to choose markets, read odds and follow live betting.
Cricket's three formats and the competitions Bangladeshis follow most
Cricket's three international formats — Test, ODI and T20 — each have their own pace and character. A Test match is a five-day contest where a single partnership or a late-afternoon pace attack can change everything. ODI is a fifty-over game of balance — batting, bowling and fielding all play an equal role in deciding the result. In T20, twenty overs are more than enough for drama — anything can happen in the final over.
For Bangladeshi fans, BPL means home-ground atmosphere and familiar faces. IPL draws its own attention every year as cricket's most-watched franchise tournament. The T20 World Cup and ICC events are a bigger stage — every match the Bangladesh Tigers play there feels different. bet177 offers betting markets for all these competitions, with market types suited to each format.
T20
A fast format with more wickets and boundary chances. In tournaments like BPL and IPL, odds shift with every ball — the most active format for in-play betting.
ODI
In a balanced fifty-over match, total runs, partnership and top batsman markets are most popular. Odds movements during the powerplay phase are worth watching.
Test
A five-day match can end in a draw, so the match winner market has three outcomes. Pitch conditions and weather are major factors that influence the odds.
Popular betting markets for cricket at bet177
Below is a brief introduction to seven common markets, each explained with a straightforward example.
Match Winner
Pick which of the two teams will win. Example: in a T20 match between Team A and Team B, choose one of them (no draw in T20 or ODI).
Simplest marketToss Betting
Pick which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result is entirely independent — it has no relation to the pitch or weather.
Closes before the startTop Batsman
Pick which batter will score the most runs for a team. There is a separate market for each team and the odds change over time.
Player-based marketTotal Runs Over/Under
Pick whether the combined runs of both teams will be above or below a set number. Example: total over or under 310.
Score-based marketMulti Bet (multiple selections)
Bet on multiple matches or markets at once — you only receive a return if every selection is correct. The risk is higher but the returns are multiplied together.
All selections must be correct to winFirst Over Runs
How many runs will be scored in the first over — for example, over or under 6. In T20 this market closes quickly at the start of the powerplay.
Innings opening marketWickets market: Pick how many wickets will fall in an innings or a specific phase. Example: whether more than 2 wickets will fall in the powerplay — this market is directly linked to each match's pitch conditions and weather.
How to read odds — explained in three formats
bet177 displays odds in decimal format by default, but fractional and American formats are also available. All three are just different ways of expressing the same outcome — the underlying return is identical.
Understanding how odds work before placing a bet is important, especially knowing how multiplying several odds together in a multi bet changes your potential return. The two examples below make the whole thing clear.
Example 1 — the same odds in three formats (Team A to win, stake ৳1,000)
Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125. A winning bet returns ৳2,250 (৳1,250 profit + ৳1,000 original stake). A losing bet costs ৳1,000.
Example 2 — favourite's odds (Team B to win, stake ৳1,000)
Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American -125. A negative American odds figure shows how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit. A winning bet returns ৳1,800 (৳800 profit). Decimal 1.80 is a favourite's price — lower profit but the implied probability of winning is higher.
Multi bet example: Three selections — decimal 1.40, 1.50 and 1.80. Combined odds = 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.80 = approximately 3.78. On a ৳100 stake, if all selections are correct the return is ৳378. If any one selection is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.
Live betting — odds change with every wicket and over
In live or in-play betting, markets remain open while the match is in progress. The odds update instantly after every wicket, every six or a maiden over. In a T20 match, if a team suddenly loses three wickets in the last five overs, the opposition's match winner odds tighten quickly.
Some markets may close temporarily during in-play betting — such as just before a ball is delivered or during an injury break. This is normal. In ODI, markets reopen after the powerplay ends; in Test, they reopen after the lunch and tea breaks.
A stable internet connection matters in live betting — a slow connection can delay odds updates. Using the bet177 App makes it easier to track live markets on mobile.
How cricket betting differs from football and other sports
A T20 match lasts an average of three to four hours, while a Test runs for five days. This difference is reflected in the number and depth of betting markets available. Football matches run for 90 minutes and tend to have different market types — match winner, number of goals, first goalscorer and handicap markets are most common. Cricket offers over-by-over statistics and wicket-based markets that have no equivalent in other sports.
Sports like tennis, badminton and kabaddi have fewer markets, usually limited to match winner or set-level outcomes. The degree to which markets shift on every ball, as in cricket, is not generally seen in other sports.
All sports markets at bet177 are accessible from the same account. The betting method and payment options are the same for every sport — bKash, Nagad, Rocket and bank transfer.
A few things worth knowing before you start betting
Set a budget: Decide in advance how much you will stake per match. Betting is for entertainment — only use money you can afford to lose without it affecting your household. The responsible gaming guidelines cover limit-setting in detail.
Understand one market well: Start by focusing only on the match winner or total runs market. Building skill in one area is more effective than spreading across many markets at once.
Compare odds: Odds for the same match change over time. Notice the difference between pre-match and live odds.
Be careful with multi bets: Multi bets show a higher potential return, but one wrong selection and the entire stake is gone. For beginners, starting with no more than two selections is advisable.
Stay calm in live betting: Rather than placing a large bet immediately after a wicket falls, wait a moment. It is easier to make a decision once the odds have settled.
Read the terms and conditions: To understand all rules including bonus and wagering conditions, read bet177's terms and conditions once.
