Cricket Formats and Tournaments — What Bangladeshi Fans Follow
Cricket is Bangladesh's most beloved sport, and it is played in three main formats — each offering a slightly different experience. T20 is the fastest format: just 20 overs, with a result in around two hours. It is popular with bettors because the outcome can shift quickly even mid-match. ODI, or one-day cricket, sees both sides play 50 overs — the mix of batting and bowling tactics gives the betting market more variety. Test cricket runs for five days, so odds shift at the end of each day's play and the format rewards patience and analysis.
In terms of tournaments, Bangladeshi fans pay the most attention to the BPL — the country's own T20 league. Next comes India's IPL, the most talked-about franchise tournament in the world. The ICC T20 World Cup and the ICC Cricket World Cup also draw huge interest in Bangladesh, especially when the Bangladesh Tigers are playing.
T20 Cricket
Fast results, with batters dominating. The most suitable format for live betting. BPL and IPL are played in this format.
ODI Cricket
A 50-over battle that tests tactics. The ICC Cricket World Cup is played in this format. More opportunities for innings-based markets.
Test Cricket
The real five-day test. Daily results and wicket partnerships keep odds shifting throughout.
Football and Other Sports — How They Differ from Cricket
Alongside cricket, 177bet also offers football betting. The nature of betting on football and cricket is quite different. Football has a fixed 90-minute duration and a draw is a valid outcome, so odds are split across three results: Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw. In cricket (especially T20 and ODI), there is no draw, which keeps the markets simpler.
In football, goal totals, half-time results and Asian handicap are the most popular markets. In cricket, you get more specific markets such as top wicket-taker, top run-scorer, or the number of runs in the first over. Other sports available for betting include kabaddi, badminton and tennis, though cricket and football attract the most betting interest in Bangladesh.

Popular Betting Markets — Where to Place Your Bets
Cricket betting is not limited to picking a winner — there are many other types of bets you can place. Below is a brief introduction to seven common markets.
Match Winner
The simplest bet — choose which team will win. In T20 and ODI there are two options (Team A or Team B); in Test there are three (including draw). Example: if you think Team A will win, place your bet on them.
Toss Betting
Bet on the result of the toss before the match starts. The outcome is a straight 50-50, so odds are usually even. An option if you want a quick result.
Top Batsman
Bet on which batter will score the most runs for their team. Consider the team's usual batting order and pitch conditions.
Total Runs Over/Under
Choose whether the total runs in an innings will be above (over) or below (under) a set number. Example: will the innings total exceed 160?
Top Wicket-Taker
Bet on which bowler will take the most wickets in the match — this market is particularly interesting on pace-friendly pitches. Some deeper analysis is needed.
Multi Bet (Parlay)
Multiple selections combined on one bet slip — odds are multiplied together. Win all of them and you get a large return; lose just one and the entire bet is lost. See the odds section below for more detail.
Betting Exchange
In exchange betting you bet against another bettor, not the bookmaker. BACK means betting for a team; LAY means betting against them. You can set your own odds, though the platform takes a commission on each trade. In-play betting works particularly well on an exchange.
How to Read Odds — Three Formats Explained Simply
Odds on a betting site can be displayed in three ways — decimal, fractional and American. The examples below explain each one. The numbers are for illustration only; all betting is for entertainment.
Example 1 — The Same Odds in Three Formats
Say Team A will win, stake ৳200.
| Format | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | ৳3 returned for every ৳1 staked |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked |
| American | +200 | ৳200 profit on a ৳100 stake |
If Team A wins: total return on a ৳200 stake is ৳600 (৳400 profit + ৳200 original stake). If Team A loses, the full ৳200 is gone.
Example 2 — Odds on a Favourite
Team B (favourite) will win, stake ৳200.
| Format | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 1.80 | ৳1.80 returned for every ৳1 staked |
| Fractional | 4/5 | ৳4 profit for every ৳5 staked |
| American | -125 | A ৳125 stake is needed to win ৳100 |
If Team B wins: total return on a ৳200 stake is ৳360 (৳160 profit + ৳200 original stake).
Multi bet example: If three selections have decimal odds of 1.40, 1.70 and 1.80, the combined odds are 1.40 × 1.70 × 1.80 = 4.28 (approximately). That means a ৳100 stake returns ৳428 — but only if all three selections are correct. If even one is wrong, the full ৳100 is lost.

When a Wicket Falls, Odds Change — How In-Play Betting Works
Live or in-play betting means placing bets while a match is in progress. It is especially suited to cricket because every wicket, every boundary and every maiden over directly affects the odds.
Consider this example: Team B has lost 6 wickets early and is batting on a low score — Team A's odds shorten (they become the favourite) and Team B's odds lengthen. If you think Team B can still come back, betting at that moment can be an effective approach — but remember, betting is purely for entertainment and there is no guarantee of any return.
Odds tend to move more during the powerplay overs because fielding restrictions are in place and batters are playing aggressively. In the death overs (the final 5 overs), odds can shift rapidly again — a 20-run over can change the equation entirely.
Live betting is straightforward on the 177bet mobile app. Both Android and iOS versions are available — download through the official channel.
Some Useful Tips for Betting
Betting is entirely for entertainment. The tips below will help you enjoy it more responsibly.
Set a budget in advance. Decide how much you are willing to spend and do not go beyond that limit. Placing extra bets to chase losses is not the right approach.
Start with one market. Once you understand a simple market like match winner, you can gradually move on to more complex ones like top batsman or over/under.
Do not rush in live betting. Odds change quickly, but take a moment to read the flow of the match. Look at the situation rather than making decisions driven by emotion.
Be careful with multi bets. Combining selections multiplies the odds, but one wrong pick ends it all. Until you have more experience, it is better to stick to no more than 2–3 selections.
Consider pitch and weather conditions. Pace bowlers are more effective on pace-friendly pitches, and the reverse is true on spin-friendly pitches. This information is useful for match-winner and total runs markets.
Play responsibly. Betting is never a source of income. If you feel it is becoming a problem, you can find support on the Responsible Gaming page.
