Cricket Betting at r77 — Bet on Every Match from BPL to the T20 World Cup
Cricket is the most passionate sport in Bangladesh. r77 offers betting across T20, ODI and Test formats in various markets — from before the first ball to the final over. How to read odds, which markets you can bet on, and how live betting works — all covered here.
Cricket Formats and Major Tournaments
Cricket's three main formats — T20, ODI and Test — each have their own pace and character. T20 is the fastest, finishing in just 20 overs. Batsmen look for big shots on every ball, so the momentum of the game can change in an instant. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are played in this format, and these two tournaments are the most popular among Bangladeshi fans.
In ODI cricket, each team plays 50 overs. This format is a bit more complex, blending strategy and patience — run rate, powerplay and death over planning all need to be considered together. The ICC World Cup and bilateral series are played in this format.
Test cricket is a five-day contest — here, a draw is a possible result. Betting markets in this format are a little different, as the possibility of a draw influences odds calculations in a distinct way. T20 and ODI have no draws, so odds there are split directly between the two teams.
Beyond international matches, the T20 World Cup is hugely popular in Bangladesh. While Bangladesh Tigers matches carry extra emotion, it is good practice to analyse all matches the same way when it comes to betting.
Football and Other Sports Betting
Alongside cricket, r77 also offers football betting. Football has three possible outcomes — home win, draw or away win — so the balance of odds works differently from cricket. Where T20 has two outcomes, football has three, meaning the odds for each outcome can be comparatively higher.
Betting markets are also available for sports like tennis, badminton and kabaddi. Since each sport has its own rules and scoring system, the betting markets differ too. For example, set-by-set betting is popular in tennis, but there is no such option in cricket.
The key difference is that in-play betting in cricket is far more eventful — odds can change after every wicket, every over and even every ball. Other sports do not see odds change as frequently.
Popular Betting Markets — How to Bet on Each
Understanding different markets makes betting more enjoyable — the type of bet and the level of risk vary with each market.
Match Winner
Bet on which team will win — the most straightforward market. Two options in T20 or ODI, three in Test (Team A win, Team B win, draw). Example: if you bet on Team A and Team A wins, you receive your return.
Simple marketToss Winner
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The result is entirely down to chance — odds are usually roughly equal for both teams. Example: betting that Team B wins the toss.
Low riskTop Batsman
Bet on who will score the most runs for a team. A little more knowledge is needed — it is important to understand the team's batting order and pitch conditions. Example: betting on Team A's number-three batter.
AnalyticalTotal Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the total runs scored in a full innings or a specific set of overs will be more (over) or fewer (under) than a given number. Example: whether more than 50 runs will be scored in the first 6 overs.
Run-focusedMulti Bet
Combining multiple matches or markets into a single bet. A return is paid only if all selections are correct — if even one is wrong, the entire bet is lost. Higher potential return, but higher risk too.
High returnMethod of Next Wicket
Bet on how the next wicket will fall — bowled, caught, run out. This market is available specifically in live betting and odds change quickly. Example: betting that the next wicket will be a catch.
Live marketHow to Read Odds — Three Formats
Odds in betting are written in three different ways: decimal, fractional and American. r77 generally uses the decimal format, but knowing all three makes it easy to work on any platform. Let's look at an example below.
Example 1 — The same odds in three formats (Team A win, bet ৳500)
Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125. If the bet wins, return is ৳1,125 (৳625 profit + ৳500 original stake). If the bet loses, ৳500 is gone.
Example 2 — Odds for the favourite (Team B win, bet ৳500)
Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400. American minus odds indicate how much you need to stake to win ৳100. On a ৳500 bet the return is ৳625 (৳125 profit).
The key difference is: decimal odds directly show the total return multiplier (including the original stake), fractional odds show the profit ratio, and American odds show how much needs to be staked for the favourite or how much can be won for the underdog. Once understood, calculations are easy in any format.

Live In-Play Betting — Placing Bets While the Match is On
Live betting or in-play betting means placing a bet after the match has started, while the game is in progress. In cricket this is especially dynamic because odds change instantly after every wicket.
Say Team A loses their first three wickets quickly — Team A's odds of winning will lengthen and Team B's odds will shorten. Understanding these shifts and betting at the right moment is what makes live betting interesting.
Similarly, if big runs come in the powerplay or a large total is needed in the final overs, odds move accordingly. New markets open at the end of every over, such as how many runs will be scored in the next over or at what score the next wicket will fall.
In live betting you need to make decisions fast — odds may only be available for a few seconds. For this reason, live betting on the r77 app is more convenient, as the r77 app loads quickly on mobile and shows real-time score updates.
Some Practical Tips Before You Start Betting
A few simple habits are worth keeping to enjoy betting as a form of entertainment.
Set a budget
Decide in advance how much to allocate for each session. Do not go beyond your budget.
Focus on one market
Start by getting to know one market well — like match winner — before moving on to others.
Compare odds
Compare odds for the same market across different matches — get a sense of where the better opportunities are.
Treat it as entertainment
Betting is not a way to earn income; it is one form of entertainment. Chasing losses by placing bigger bets is not a good idea.
