abc77 Cricket Betting — Markets for Every Format from T20 to Test
Match winner, toss, top batsman and live markets for every BPL, IPL, T20 World Cup and international series match — experience cricket in a new way at abc77.
Cricket's Three Formats and Favourite Competitions
To understand cricket betting, it helps to know the differences between formats first. Each format has its own character, so the structure of odds differs as well.
T20 Cricket
Just 20 overs per side — a match wraps up in around three hours. BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup are the most popular among Bangladeshi fans. The situation can shift on every ball, which makes live betting markets most active here.
ODI Cricket
In a 50-over match, strategy builds up gradually. The Tigers' performances in ODI World Cups and bilateral series hold a special place for cricket fans in Bangladesh. Mid-innings shifts in tactics are reflected in the odds right away.
Test Cricket
A five-day contest of patience and skill. Wickets, weather and pitch conditions give the odds a new shape each day. Because a draw is possible, Test cricket offers three outcomes to bet on — something T20 or ODI does not have.
Popular Competitions
BPL: Bangladesh's domestic T20 league — the stadiums in Dhaka come alive every season.
IPL: India's mega league features the best players in the world. It draws a huge audience in Bangladesh.
ICC Tournaments: T20 World Cup, ODI World Cup and Champions Trophy — the biggest stages in international cricket.
Football and Other Sports
Beyond cricket, abc77 offers betting on football, tennis, kabaddi and more. In football, match results are usually decided in 90 minutes and goal-based markets (such as top scorer or total goals) are popular. Where cricket revolves around wickets and runs, football moves to a different rhythm of goals and possession.

Popular Betting Markets in Cricket
Below is a brief introduction to seven markets, each with a simple example.
Match Winner
Which team will win the match — the most straightforward market. Say Team A is playing Team B. You pick Team B, and if Team B wins, your bet is successful.
Toss Winner
Who wins the toss at the start of the match. The result is separate from match performance — winning the toss does not mean winning the match. A simple and quick market.
Top Batsman
Who will score the most runs within a team. Among the batsmen from Team A, the one who scores the highest wins the bet.
Total Runs Over/Under
Whether the total runs in the match (or a specific innings) will be above or below a set number — you bet on one of these two options. For example, whether total runs will exceed 160.
Man of the Match
Which player will receive the official award for the best performance. Contributions in batting, bowling or fielding all determine the winner.
Over of First Wicket
In which over the first wicket will fall — during the powerplay or later? This market involves betting on a specific over range.
Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
Placing bets on several matches or markets at once — if all selections are correct, returns multiply across the combined odds, but if even one is wrong the entire bet is lost. An example is included in the odds explanation below.
Odds in Three Formats — Decimal, Fractional and American
The same odds can be written three ways. abc77 generally uses the decimal format, but understanding the other formats makes it easier to navigate any betting site.
Team A to win, bet ৳200.
Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125
If the bet wins, total return is ৳450 (profit ৳250 + original stake ৳200).
If the bet loses, ৳200 is gone.
Team B to win, bet ৳200.
Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American -125
American minus odds indicate how much you need to bet in order to win 100.
If the bet wins, total return is ৳360 (profit ৳160).
| Format | Team A (Underdog) | Team B (Favourite) | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.25 | 1.80 | Total return including the amount staked |
| Fractional | 5/4 | 4/5 | Ratio of profit to original stake |
| American | +125 | -125 | + means profit on 100; - means how much to bet to win 100 |
Live Betting — Odds Shift Wicket by Wicket
Live in-play betting in cricket is a feature where odds update continuously while the match is going on. The moment a wicket falls, the batting team's chances drop and the odds change. A big six or four can turn the situation around quickly.
If Team A is 40 for 5 in the powerplay, Team B's odds of winning naturally come down. Similarly, if 15 runs are needed off the last over, the odds shift second by second.
There is very little time to decide in live betting, so it is important to stay calm and keep within your budget. Reading the responsible gaming guide offers some useful advice on keeping betting a safe form of entertainment.
Useful Tips for Cricket Betting
Betting is primarily a form of entertainment. Keeping the following tips in mind makes the experience better.
Set a Budget Beforehand
Before each session, decide how much money you will put into betting. Staying within that limit is the sensible approach.
Start with One Format
Focus on T20 markets first. Matches in this format are shorter, so the markets are relatively straightforward to follow.
Keep Pitch and Weather in Mind
On a spin-friendly pitch, run totals tend to be lower. If rain is likely, the result can change — and that affects the odds.
Do Not Chase Losses
Placing a bigger bet to recover from a lost bet is not a good idea. Betting is for entertainment, not a tool for recovering losses.
