8777bet Cricket Betting — Choose the right market for every Bangladesh Tigers match
BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup to Test series — 8777bet covers all cricket formats with betting markets, live in-play odds and multiple payment options.
How betting differs across cricket's three formats
The best way to understand cricket betting is to start with the format. T20 matches finish quickest — each team faces just 20 overs. Scores tend to be high and results can swing either way, so odds shift every over. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are the most popular T20 tournaments among Bangladeshi bettors.
ODI, or one-day matches, give each team 50 overs. Strategy and consistency matter more here. If wickets fall or the run rate drops in the middle overs, odds can shift significantly. ODI betting gets particular attention during major events like the ICC World Cup.
Test cricket runs over five days. Pitch conditions, weather and the depth of each squad have a much greater impact here. A draw is a genuine outcome in Tests, so there are three possible results to bet on. Bangladesh Tigers Test matches draw wide attention in this country.
The ICC T20 World Cup, Asia Cup and bilateral series each have their own types of betting markets. 8777bet offers separate markets for all these competitions.
Football and other sports betting — what sets them apart
Alongside cricket, 8777bet also offers football betting. The main difference between football and cricket betting structures lies in the pace of the game and the number of markets. Football sees fewer goals in 90 minutes, making scorelines like 1-0 or 2-1 common, which is why correct score betting is popular. A draw is also a very normal result in football — something that does not happen in T20 or ODI cricket.
Because cricket has ball-by-ball data, a far wider range of detailed markets is available — such as runs in a specific over, the type of the next wicket, or a batter's total runs. Football generally does not offer markets at that level of detail.
In sports like tennis, badminton or kabaddi, match winner and set score are the main markets. Each sport's own rules and statistics make the betting experience different. The core idea — reading odds and understanding markets — is the same across all sports.
Football vs Cricket
- A draw is a real outcome in football
- No draw in T20 — only two outcomes
- Cricket offers more ball-by-ball markets
- Goal-line markets are popular in football
- A draw is possible in Tests — three outcomes
- Understanding odds is the key in every market
Popular markets at 8777bet and how they work
These are the markets chosen most often before a match and during live play. Below is the core idea behind each one, with a simple example.
Match Winner
Which team will win the match — this is the most straightforward market. In T20 or ODI cricket there are only two possible outcomes. Example: in a limited-overs match between Team A and Team B, if you pick Team B — the bet wins if Team B wins, and you lose your stake if Team A wins.
Toss Winner
Who will win the toss before the match — the result of this market is known before the first ball is bowled. It has no connection to what happens in the rest of the match. You can bet on either of the two teams.
Top Batsman
Which batter within a team will score the most runs — this is an individual performance market. It is usually open separately for each team. The batter's current form and pitch conditions are relevant here.
Total Runs Over/Under
Whether the total runs in an innings or across the whole match will be above (over) or below (under) a set number — that is this market. Example: line set at 160 runs — if Team A scores 175, the 'over' bet wins.
First Over Runs
How many runs will be scored in the first over — above or below a set number. This is a very short-term market and is particularly popular in in-play betting. The pace bowler's speed during the powerplay and the batter's approach play a big role here.
Multi Bet
Multiple selections are combined into a single bet. If every selection is correct you receive a larger return, but if even one is wrong the entire bet loses. You can place three separate matches or markets into one multi bet.
Decimal, fractional and American odds — all three formats at a glance
Odds on a betting site can be shown in three formats — decimal, fractional and American. All three convey the same information in different ways. Examples are given in the table below.
The teams here are fictional — Team A and Team B. The numbers are for illustration purposes only and are not a representation of actual odds or any real match.
| Example | Decimal | Fractional | American | Return on ৳1,000 stake |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Team A wins | 2.50 | 3/2 | +150 | ৳2,500 (profit ৳1,500) |
| Team B wins (favourite) | 1.50 | 1/2 | −200 | ৳1,500 (profit ৳500) |
Decimal 2.50 means: stake × 2.50 = total return. On a ৳1,000 bet you get back ৳2,500 — that is ৳1,500 profit plus your original ৳1,000 stake.
American −200 means: you need to bet ৳200 to win ৳100 profit. So on a ৳1,000 stake you make ৳500 profit and get back ৳1,500 in total. A minus sign indicates the favourite.
Multi bet example
Three selections: decimal 1.50 × 1.60 × 1.90 = 4.56 (approximate).
A ৳100 bet returns ৳456 if all three win. Lose even one and the full ৳100 is lost.
Odds shift when a wicket falls — how in-play betting works
Live or in-play betting means placing bets while a match is in progress. Odds are recalculated after every ball. When an important wicket falls, the batting team's odds rise immediately — because their chances of winning have dropped. The fielding team's odds fall at that point.
As runs build over by over and the chasing team gets closer to the target, their odds shorten — they gradually become the favourite. Conversely, if the run rate suddenly drops, the bowling team's odds change quickly.
Powerplay, middle overs and death overs — the pressure on bets is different in each phase of a cricket match. A big over during the powerplay pushes the run line up. In the death overs, the final few balls can completely change the direction of a match.
At 8777bet, active markets are visible at every moment during live betting. Keep in mind — in-play betting moves fast, so it is better to make decisions with a clear head. Betting is always for entertainment — it should not be treated as a source of income.
Things to keep in mind for cricket betting
Choose markets based on the format
Scores change fast in T20. Over/under markets are well suited to this format. For Tests, match winner and innings score markets are more appropriate.
Set a budget before you start
Decide on a limit before each betting session and stick to it. Betting is a form of entertainment — you should not bet more than you can afford.
Understand one market well first
Rather than jumping into many markets at once, start with simpler ones like match winner or toss winner. Move on to other markets gradually as you gain experience.
Avoid rushing in live betting
Odds change quickly in in-play betting. After a wicket falls, take a moment rather than making an instant decision driven by emotion. To learn more about responsible betting, read the responsible gaming guide.
Compare odds
Look at the odds across different markets for the same match. Check which one offers a better return and which aligns with your own assessment.
Cricket season bonus
For deposits made on cricket or sports at 8777bet, there is a cricket season deposit promotion — 60% bonus, up to ৳12,000.
Example: deposit ৳2,000 → bonus ৳1,200 → wagering ৳1,200 × 18 = ৳21,600. Minimum deposit ৳100. This offer is available once per week.
100% bonus on your first deposit — up to ৳15,000
Open an account at 8777bet and get a 100% bonus on your first deposit — up to ৳15,000. Example: deposit ৳1,000 and you receive a ৳1,000 bonus, giving you a balance of ৳2,000; wagering requirement is ৳1,000 × 25 = ৳25,000.
Deposit with bKash, Nagad, Rocket or Upay — minimum just ৳100. Withdrawals generally take 15 minutes to 2 hours. Live chat is open 24/7 for support in Bengali. Join the 8777bet VIP programme to also receive weekly cashback.
Back and lay — how a betting exchange works differently
In regular betting you bet against the site. In a betting exchange, two bettors bet directly against each other — one backs (bets that a team will win), the other lays (bets that a team will not win).
Example: if you back Team A at decimal odds of 2.00 and Team A wins, you gain ৳1,000 (minus commission); if they do not win, you lose ৳1,000. If you lay Team A and they do not win, you gain ৳1,000 — but if Team A wins, your liability is ৳1,000 (liability = ৳1,000 × 1.00).
Exchange odds can often be better than those in regular betting because the market is made by the bettors themselves. However, a small commission is deducted from each winning bet. You can find full details by checking the 8777bet betting options.
