Cricket Betting at bj77 — Bet at the Best Odds from BPL to the T20 World Cup
bj77 is with you across all three formats — T20, ODI and Test. From Match Winner to live betting, placing a bet makes every moment of the match more engaging.
The three cricket formats and Bangladesh's favourite tournaments
Cricket's three international formats — T20, ODI and Test — each have their own pace and strategy. T20 is the fastest: results come within a few hours, so the betting market shifts with every over. ODI is the mid-distance format — with fifty overs to calculate runs and wickets, the enjoyment of betting builds gradually. Test cricket is the longest — across five days of play, the markets are far more varied.
For cricket fans in Bangladesh, BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) carries a special emotion. Packed stadiums in Dhaka and matches featuring the Tigers give BPL an excitement of its own. Alongside BPL, the IPL and ICC events like the T20 World Cup and Champions Trophy are hugely popular among Bangladeshi fans. Betting markets for all these tournaments are available on bj77.
Beyond cricket betting, interest in football among people in Bangladesh is growing day by day. In football, Match Winner, Both Teams to Score, and Handicap markets are popular. Because football has a draw as a possible result, the structure of betting is somewhat different from cricket — in cricket, especially in limited-overs formats, one of the two teams generally wins, making odds easier to calculate.
Popular betting markets — which one to bet on
bj77 offers several markets for cricket betting. Below is an introduction to seven popular markets.
Match Winner
The Match Winner market is simply about which of the two teams will win. In T20 or ODI, this is the most straightforward bet — if your chosen team wins, you win the bet; if not, you lose.
SimpleToss Winner
This is settled before the match even begins. You bet on which team will win the toss. The outcome is completely unpredictable, so odds are usually close to even.
Quick ResultTop Batsman
A bet on which batsman will score the most runs in an innings. You need to focus on individual performance rather than team performance.
Individual MarketTotal Runs Over / Under
A bet on whether more or fewer runs will be scored than a specified number — for example, whether total runs in an innings will be above 160. The market shifts depending on the pace of the match.
Runs-BasedMulti Bet
Multiple match or market predictions are combined into a single bet. If all selections are correct, the return is much higher — but if even one is wrong, the entire bet is lost.
Multiple MarketsFirst Wicket Partnership
A bet on how many runs the two openers will score together before the first wicket falls. The result is known early in the match, making it quite popular in T20.
PartnershipHandicap and Exchange Betting
In handicap markets, the weaker team is given an advantage — making the market more balanced. In a betting exchange, you are not only placing bets but can also bet against other bettors. These sports betting markets are available on bj77 through bj77 Bet.
How to read odds — three formats
Odds on online betting platforms are generally written in three ways: decimal, fractional, and American. bj77 typically uses decimal format, but understanding all three makes it easier to bet on any platform.
Team A to win, bet ৳200. Decimal odds 2.25, fractional 5/4, American +125 — all three represent the same value. If Team A wins, total return is ৳450 (৳250 profit + ৳200 stake). If Team A loses, ৳200 is lost.
Team B to win, bet ৳200. Decimal 1.80, fractional 4/5, American -125 (minus means how much you need to stake to win ৳100 profit). If Team B wins, return is ৳360 (৳160 profit).
Decimal odds are the simplest: multiply by your stake to get the total return. The higher the odds, the higher the return — but the lower the implied probability.
Understanding the odds format before placing a bet is important — the same match's odds may be written differently on different platforms. If you are also interested in the odds on live table games at bj77 Casino alongside cricket, each game there has its own payout ratio.
Live Betting — the calculation changes every over
In-play or live betting lets you place bets while the match is in progress. In cricket this is particularly engaging because every wicket, every boundary or wide — all of it affects the odds instantly.
Say Team A is 80 runs for 6 wickets in the first innings. Team A's odds of winning lengthen considerably because their chances of winning the match have fallen. On the other hand, Team B's odds shorten. A bettor who backs Team B at that moment takes a relatively safer bet at a lower return. Backing Team A carries more risk, but the return is higher if they win.
Markets move very quickly during live betting, so it is important to stay focused. If a batsman hits back-to-back sixes in an over, the total runs Over/Under market can shift completely. These changes can be seen in real time in the live betting section on bj77.
Live betting in Test cricket is even more complex — pitch conditions, weather, and available light all factor in. If spinners or swing bowlers get assistance during a session, wicket market odds can move fast.
Betting on football and other sports
In Bangladesh, football is second only to cricket in popularity. European leagues — particularly the English Premier League, Spanish La Liga, and the World Cup — are followed with great enthusiasm here. The Match Winner market in football is different from cricket because a draw is a valid result — so there are three outcomes: Team A wins, draw, or Team B wins.
Handicap markets are also popular in football. Giving the weaker team a goal advantage levels the market. Both Teams to Score (BTTS), Total Goals Over/Under, and First Goalscorer add extra variety to football betting.
The key difference between cricket and football is the duration and pace of change in betting. In cricket, every ball and every over brings new information — many more live markets are created. In football, goals are rare, so big events arrive suddenly and odds jump sharply.

- Multi bets are available in both sports
A few things to keep in mind before you start betting
Cricket betting is a form of entertainment — it is better to see it as a way to enjoy the game rather than as a source of income. Below are some practical tips that may be useful for both new and experienced bettors.
- Understand the format before betting: T20, ODI and Test play differently. Start with the format you know best.
- Set a budget: Decide how much you will put into each betting session beforehand and do not go beyond that limit.
- Learn multiple markets: Instead of sticking only to Match Winner, try Top Batsman or Over/Under markets — variety adds to the enjoyment.
- Keep a level head in live betting: Odds change quickly, so instead of placing bets in a rush, take time to read the situation before deciding.
- Bet responsibly: Betting is for 21+. Placing more bets to recover lost money is not the right approach. Read the Responsible Gaming guidelines.
- Mobile convenience: bj77 is available on Android and iOS — get the app through the official channel and bet from anywhere.
Multi Bet Example
Three selections: decimal odds 1.40, 1.60 and 1.90. Combined odds: 1.40 × 1.60 × 1.90 = 4.26 (approximately). With a ৳100 bet, if all three selections are correct the return is ৳426. But if even one is wrong, the entire ৳100 is lost — in a multi bet, both the risk and the return are higher.
