Cricket betting at fb777 live — a complete guide to betting on BPL, IPL and international matches
From T20 to Test — all formats covered: betting markets, how to read odds, and everything you need to know about live in-play betting in one place.
Three cricket formats and tournaments popular with Bangladeshis
Cricket's three formats — T20, ODI and Test — each have a different style of betting. T20 is the fastest-paced, where a single over can change the picture in moments. When betting on this format, keeping track of the match tempo and situation is important.
In ODI matches, the result depends greatly on a team's ability to maintain a steady pace across 50 overs. In Test cricket, the same match runs for five days — wickets, weather changes and innings-by-innings performances combine to make the betting market more varied.
Among Bangladeshi fans, BPL and IPL are the most popular. Alongside these, fb777 live also offers betting on the T20 World Cup and various ICC events. International matches featuring the Tigers attract the highest volume of bets.
Football and other sports betting — how it differs from cricket
At fb777 live you can bet on football and several other sports, not just cricket. Football markets are quite different from cricket — a draw is a possible outcome, so bets are placed on three possible results (1X2). In most cricket formats — especially T20 and ODI — you bet directly on one of two outcomes (which team will win).
In football, the goals over/under market is popular, while in cricket the total runs over/under and wicket markets are most active. In Test cricket, the possibility of a draw means the betting structure comes closer to football's three-outcome model.
In cricket, every ball, every over and every partnership creates its own separate market — a level of detail not found in any other sport. That variety is what sets cricket betting apart.
5 popular cricket betting markets with examples
Each market is explained with a simple example. Teams and figures are for illustration only.
Match Winner
The simplest market — bet on which team will win the match. This is the most active market in T20 and ODI.
Toss Winner
Bet on which team will win the toss before the match begins. Short and simple — it depends on a single event.
Top Batsman
Bet on which batsman will score the most runs in a given innings. Markets are available both within a single team and across both teams.
Total Runs Over/Under
Bet on whether the total runs scored in a match or innings will be more (over) or fewer (under) than a set number.
Multi Bet (multiple bets combined)
Bets on multiple matches or markets are placed on one slip — all of them must win for you to collect. If even one loses, the entire bet is lost.
Method of First Wicket
Bet on how the first wicket will fall — bowled, caught, run out, LBW, and so on. This market is unique to cricket and attracts considerable interest.
Decimal, fractional and American — three types of odds at a glance
Odds on a betting site can be shown in three formats. The examples below show what the same market looks like in each format.
| Format | Team A wins | Team B wins (favourite) | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 2.50 | 1.50 | Stake × odds = total return (including original stake) |
| Fractional | 3/2 | 1/2 | Profit / original stake — 3/2 means ৳3 profit on a ৳2 bet |
| American | +150 | -200 | +: profit on a ৳100 bet; –: how much you need to stake to win ৳100 |
Worked example 1 — betting on Team A to win (৳1,000 stake)
Worked example 2 — betting on Team B (favourite) to win (৳1,000 stake)
Decimal Odds
Most commonly seen on European sites. Odds never go below 1.00; 1.50 indicates a favourite, above 2.00 indicates an underdog.
Fractional Odds
A format from British tradition. 3/2 is read as "three-to-two" — ৳3 profit for every ৳2 staked.
American Odds
Plus (+) means profit on a ৳100 bet; minus (–) means how much you need to stake to win ৳100.
In-play betting during a match — how odds shift with wickets and overs
In-play betting is the option to place bets while a match is in progress. On fb777 live's live betting market, odds can change after every ball. When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds lengthen (meaning their chance of winning is rated lower) and the bowling team's odds shorten.
When the powerplay overs end or a big partnership builds in the middle overs, the balance of odds shifts quickly. In a close match during the final over, the odds for both teams stay near equal.
One important aspect of in-play betting is that the betting window is short — a market can close before the next ball is bowled. Decisions therefore need to be made quickly. For those who enjoy betting as entertainment, live markets add extra engagement to watching a match.
Before betting, read the responsible gaming guidelines — particularly in live betting, where the tendency to make quick decisions makes it important to stay within your budget.
Some useful tips for cricket betting
- Understand the format before you bet. T20 and Test cricket are completely different in nature — a market that works well in T20 is a different proposition in Test.
- Keep the number of selections low in a multi bet. Every additional selection makes the winning condition harder to meet. Adding more than three selections increases the risk quickly.
- Consider the pitch and weather. On a turning pitch, it makes more sense to bet on spinners rather than pace bowlers in wicket-related markets.
- Set a budget. Decide in advance how much you will bet in each session. Betting is for entertainment — you should not increase your bets in an attempt to recover losses.
- Compare odds. Odds on the same market change at different times. Watch how much the odds move before a match and while it is in progress.
- Read the rules. Before placing a bet, check the terms and conditions — particularly the bonus wagering requirements and withdrawal rules.
Is betting only about winning?
No — cricket betting is a form of entertainment. Adding a bet to watching a match makes every ball more engaging. But it is not a way to earn income.
Always bet within your means. No bet is ever "certain" — regardless of what the odds are.
