bet177 Cricket Betting — Best Odds for BPL, IPL and International Matches
Enjoy cricket, Bangladesh's favourite sport, even more. bet177 offers a range of betting markets for T20, ODI and Test matches — from Match Winner to live in-play.
Cricket Formats and Major Tournaments
Cricket's three main formats — T20, ODI and Test — each call for a slightly different approach to betting. A T20 match lasts only a few hours, so odds move fast and separate markets are available for each over. In an ODI, with fifty overs per side, you can bet on runs, wickets and partnerships across the innings. Test matches run over five days, opening up day-by-day and innings-based markets.
BPL is one of the most familiar tournaments for Bangladeshi fans. India's IPL and the international T20 World Cup also draw huge interest. During ICC events such as the ICC ODI World Cup and ICC Championship, a large number of bettors on bet177 are active around Bangladesh Tigers matches.
Betting across different formats requires understanding how much uncertainty each one carries. In T20 a single over can turn a match around, while in Test cricket tactics shift gradually — so your betting approach should differ for each format.
Maximum 20 overs. Fast results, odds changing every moment. BPL and IPL use this format.
50 overs per side. Medium-length match with more opportunity for innings-based analysis.
Five days. A tactical game — betting on day-by-day and innings-based markets is possible.
Betting on Cricket, Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, bet177 also offers betting on football, tennis, badminton and a few other sports. The betting experience varies from sport to sport.
Longer matches mean the widest variety of markets. Wickets, overs, run rate — every event is a betting opportunity. In Test matches a draw is possible, so three outcomes (Team A wins, Team B wins, Draw) are available in the market.
A 90-minute game with relatively low scores. Handicap and corner markets are popular. Results come in quickly, similar to T20 cricket.
Set and game-based markets. It is a direct contest between two players, so there is no third outcome (draw).
Game score and Match Winner markets. Most active during international and Asian Games events.
While cricket draws the most interest from Bangladeshi users, football is growing steadily — especially during BPL football and the World Cup.
Popular Cricket Markets
bet177 offers a range of markets for cricket betting. Each market has its own characteristics — a brief overview is given below.
Match Winner
Choosing which team will win the match is the simplest market. Example: in a match between Team A and Team B, if you pick Team B and they win, your bet wins.
Toss Winner
A market on which team will win the toss. The outcome is entirely random, so odds for both sides are usually close. It is a light market, separate from the main match betting.
Top Batsman
A market on which batter will score the most runs for their team. Odds are higher than the Match Winner market because the probability is lower.
Total Runs Over / Under
You choose whether the runs in an innings or the whole match will be above or below a set number. Example: Total Runs in a T20 over or under 150. This market is also available in a betting exchange format.
Multi Bet
Multiple selections are combined into a single bet. If all selections are correct you receive a larger return, but if any one of them is wrong you lose the entire stake. Example 4 covers this in more detail.
Man of the Match
Picking in advance which player will receive the Man of the Match award. Odds are higher in this market because the result depends on both batting and bowling performances.
How to Read Odds
Odds on bet177 may be displayed in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three express the same thing; only the way they are written differs. Two practical examples are given below.
Example 1 — Underdog odds (Team A to win, stake ৳200)
| Format | Odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | ৳2.50 return for every ৳1 staked |
| Fractional | 3/2 | ৳3 profit on a ৳2 bet |
| American | +150 | ৳150 profit on a ৳100 bet (plus sign means underdog) |
With a ৳200 stake, if Team A wins you receive ৳500 back (৳300 profit + original ৳200). If Team A loses, you lose ৳200.
Example 2 — Favourite odds (Team B to win, stake ৳200)
| Format | Odds | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.80 | ৳1.80 return for every ৳1 staked |
| Fractional | 4/5 | ৳4 profit on a ৳5 bet |
| American | -125 | You need to stake ৳125 to profit ৳100 (minus sign means favourite) |
With a ৳200 stake, if Team B wins you receive ৳360 back (৳160 profit + original ৳200). Lower odds mean a lower return because Team B has a higher chance of winning.
In a multi bet, the odds of each selection are multiplied together. Say three selections have odds of 1.50, 1.60 and 1.80 respectively — the combined odds are 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.80 = 4.32 (approximately). So a ৳100 stake returns ৳432 if all selections are correct. But if any one selection is wrong, you lose the full ৳100. You can find more detail on how this works at bet177 Bet.
Live In-Play Betting
You can place bets even after a match has started — this is called live or in-play betting. In cricket it is particularly interesting because a wicket falling or a big six can shift the odds in an instant.
Consider this example: in the 10th over of a T20 match, if Team A is on a good score, the odds for Team A to win will shorten and the value on Team B will increase. If two more wickets fall in the next over, the odds will shift again. This constant movement is what sets live betting apart.
A few things to keep in mind with in-play betting:
- Odds change fast, so you need to watch the match closely.
- After placing a bet, it may take a moment for the bet to be confirmed.
- You can follow the live score on mobile and bet at the same time.
- Analysing the run rate, remaining wickets and required runs makes it easier to read the situation.
Some Useful Tips for Betting
Set a budget
Keep a separate budget for each match and do not go beyond it. Treat cricket betting as entertainment, not a source of income. Follow the responsible gaming guidelines.
Focus on one market
For new bettors, starting with just the Match Winner market is a good idea. Placing bets across many markets at once makes things complicated and can increase losses.
Consider the pitch and weather
Rain or a spin-friendly pitch can change the outcome of a match. Checking the pitch report and weather forecast before a match gives you a clearer picture.
Betting is entertainment
There is always a chance of losing any bet. If you lose, take a short break instead of getting disheartened. The FAQ section at bet177 has answers to more questions about betting.
