Cricket Betting at bj77 — New Opportunities Every Ball in T20, ODI and Test Formats
From BPL to the T20 World Cup — you can bet on every major tournament at bj77. Place bets on match winner, toss, top batsman, over/under runs and more, all with a straightforward odds system. Enjoy live in-play betting with odds that update ball by ball.
T20, ODI and Test — Three Formats, Three Kinds of Betting
Understanding the format is the first step in cricket betting. A T20 match lasts only a few hours — the flow of the game can shift every over, so odds change quickly too. In ODIs, team strategy becomes clearer over fifty overs, keeping markets open longer. In Test cricket, five days of play bring far more statistics-based markets — wicket counts, innings scores and a draw market as well.
For Bangladeshi fans, BPL is our most familiar tournament. IPL, the T20 World Cup and ICC tournaments are also active for betting on bj77. Separate markets are opened for the Tigers' international matches, which is a particular draw for Bangladeshi fans.
Betting is not limited to cricket. If you want to bet on football, check out the bj77 Bet sportsbook section, where markets for various leagues and tournaments are available.
How Is Betting on Cricket Different from Football?
In cricket, a match result is generally limited to two teams (no draw in limited-overs formats), so the market structure is somewhat simpler than football. In football, the win-draw-loss market means odds work differently.
Cricket has a much wider range of markets — runs per over, wicket fall markets, individual batsman run markets and more. In football, goal count, handicap and corner markets are the most popular.
In sports like tennis, badminton or kabaddi, markets are generally limited to match winner and set winner. Before betting, it is wise to get a good understanding of the rules of the sport whose market you are choosing.
The 5 Most Popular Markets in Cricket
Knowing the different markets makes betting much more enjoyable. Here is a brief introduction to five popular markets.
Match Winner
Simplest betA straight bet on which of the two teams will win. There is no draw in T20, so the decision is simple. For example, pick Team A or Team B and place your bet according to the odds.
Toss Betting
Heads or tailsA bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The outcome is a 50/50 chance, so odds for both sides are nearly equal. It is popular as a quick-result market.
Top Batsman
Performance betA bet on which player will score the most runs for a given team. Player form and pitch conditions play an important role in this market.
Total Runs Over/Under
Score predictionA bet on whether the combined runs scored by both teams will be over or under a set number. Pitch reports and weather information are useful here.
Multi Bet
Multiple bets combinedYou can combine the results of multiple matches into a single bet. Example: three selections with decimal odds of 1.40, 1.50 and 1.80 give combined odds of 1.40 × 1.50 × 1.80 = 3.78 — a ৳100 stake returns ৳378 in total, but all three must win.
First Wicket
Quick resultA bet on how many overs it takes for the first wicket to fall, or which batsman will be dismissed. The result of this market is decided within the first few balls of the match, making it particularly popular in live betting.
Decimal, Fractional and American Odds — What Is the Difference?
bj77 displays odds in three formats. The same price for a bet may look different across all three formats, but the underlying value is the same. The two examples below explain how.
| Format | Team A win price | Team B win price |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.80 |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 4/5 |
| American | +125 | -125 |
Example 1 — Betting on Team A to win (underdog)
Say Team A's decimal odds are 2.25, fractional 5/4 and American +125. A ৳1,000 stake returns a total of ৳2,250 if Team A wins — that is ৳1,250 profit plus the original ৳1,000 stake. If Team A loses, the full ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — Betting on Team B to win (favourite)
Team B is the favourite — decimal odds 1.80, fractional 4/5, American -125. In American odds, the minus number tells you how much you need to stake to win ৳100. A ৳1,000 stake returns a total of ৳1,800 if Team B wins — that is ৳800 profit.

Odds Shift Every Wicket — How Live Betting Works
Live in-play betting lets you place bets while a match is in progress. In cricket this is especially interesting, because every wicket, boundary or maiden over changes the odds in an instant.
Say Team A was in a strong position after the first ten overs and their odds to win were 1.80. If two quick wickets fall, those odds could move up to 2.40. Conversely, if Team A hits a six, their odds may drop further.
A stable network connection is important in live betting, as odds update rapidly. If you want to bet on mobile, you can access live markets directly through the bj77 app.
On a betting exchange market there are two options: BACK and LAY. If you BACK Team A with ৳1,000 and the decimal odds are 2.50 — if Team A wins you make ৳1,500 profit (before commission); if they do not win, ৳1,000 is lost.
Some Tips for Keeping a Clear Head in Cricket Betting
Betting is a form of entertainment — it is not a source of income. Keeping the following points in mind will make the experience healthier.
- Set a fixed budget and do not go beyond that limit — increasing your stake to recover losses after a losing streak is not a good habit.
- Once you understand a market well, focus on that — betting on every market at once can lead to confusion.
- One wrong selection in a multi bet loses the entire stake — so it is better not to place too large a stake on a multi bet.
- Avoid making decisions based on emotion in live betting — analyse the match situation first, then place your bet.
- The toss can matter in T20 matches — team preferences can change depending on the pitch type and dew factor.
