Cricket Betting at 5777 port — Complete Guide to BPL, IPL and International Matches
From T20 to Test, from BPL to ICC tournaments — this guide explains in plain language how to bet on every cricket format, which markets are useful, and how live betting works.
T20, ODI and Test — betting is different in each format
A lot of the enjoyment in cricket betting depends on which format the match is in. The three formats have such different characters that the same betting approach does not work across all of them.
T20: In this 20-over format, matches turn around fast. BPL and IPL are the most popular with Bangladeshi fans. A flurry of sixes in one over can change the situation completely, so in live betting the odds shift from moment to moment.
ODI: In a 50-over match, the middle overs are important from a betting standpoint. Bangladesh Tigers' international matches, especially at ICC events, draw strong interest here.
Test: In a five-day match, a draw is a possible result. The pitch behaviour in the first session, the weather and the nature of the wicket all influence the betting markets. Test matches hold a special appeal for patient bettors.
In football betting there are usually three outcomes (home win, draw, away win). In T20 and ODI cricket the result is generally decided between just two teams with no draw. Understanding the difference between markets makes betting more straightforward.
Competitions where Bangladeshis bet the most
The cricket calendar runs almost all year. Matches from the competitions below are available in the sports section at 5777 port.
BPL
T20DomesticThe Bangladesh Premier League is the country's most popular T20 league. Teams made up of local and international players make for varied markets.
IPL
T20IndiaThe Indian Premier League is Asia's biggest T20 competition. High-scoring matches and high-profile players keep the betting markets active throughout.
ICC Tournaments
ODIT20 WCThe T20 World Cup, the ODI World Cup and the Champions Trophy — Bangladeshi bettors follow these three tournaments most closely. Bangladesh Tigers' matches naturally attract the highest traffic.
Bilateral Series
TestODIHome and away series between two teams go on throughout the year. In Bangladesh's home series, the type of wicket and pitch has a particular influence on the odds.
Football and Others
FootballOthersAt 5777 port you can bet on football alongside cricket. The three-outcome (home/draw/away) market in football is different from cricket — the draw market does not exist in T20 cricket.
Other Game Sections

5 popular markets in cricket that beginners can understand too
There are different ways to bet on each cricket match. The most commonly used markets are listed below with simple examples.
1. Match Winner
The simplest market — pick which of the two teams will win. Since there is no draw in T20 and ODI, there are only two options.
2. Toss Winner
A bet on which team will win the toss before the match starts. The odds are usually close to even on both sides — an easy starting point for newcomers.
3. Top Run Scorer (Top Batsman)
Which batsman will score the most runs in the match or innings — you pick one player from several options in this market.
4. Total Runs — Over/Under
Whether the total runs in a match or innings will be above (over) or below (under) a set number — this is a popular market because it does not depend on which team wins.
5. Multi Bet (Multiple Selections)
Combining selections from several matches or markets increases the combined odds. However, all selections must win — if even one loses, the entire bet is lost.
Two more markets
Handicap Betting: When there is a difference in strength between two teams, the handicap market gives the weaker team an advantage. For example, if Team A is given a 30-run handicap, they can still win the handicap market even if they lose the match by that margin.
First Wicket Fall Score: A bet on what score the first wicket will fall at — a market unique to cricket that does not exist in other sports.
Decimal, Fractional and American — understand all three odds formats together
Different platforms display odds in different formats. All three say the same thing — only the way of showing it differs.
Example 1 — Team A to win (on a ৳1,000 bet)
| Format | Team A's odds | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 3.00 | Total return of ৳3 for every ৳1 staked (profit plus stake combined) |
| Fractional | 2/1 | ৳2 profit for every ৳1 staked, stake returned separately |
| American | +200 | ৳200 profit on a ৳100 bet (plus sign means in your favour) |
Example 2 — Favourite Team B
Favourites have lower odds:
Quick tip: Most Bangladeshi betting platforms use the decimal format. Multiply the decimal odds by your stake to get the total return — subtract your stake to find the profit.
When a wicket falls, the odds change instantly — how in-play betting works
In live or in-play betting you can place bets while the match is going on. Every over and every wicket in cricket has a direct effect on the odds.
Say Team A is batting and in a strong position — Team A's odds to win will shorten (more likely means lower price). If two quick wickets fall, the odds will lengthen again. These shifts are what make in-play betting different.
Powerplay overs: Fielding restrictions apply in the first 6 overs, so aggressive batting is more likely. During this time, markets like "six in the next over" or "total runs in the powerplay" are active.
Death overs: Batsmen generally take more risks in the last 4–5 overs. When a death-overs specialist bowler comes on, you will see an immediate change in the odds.
Betting is always for entertainment — the fast-moving nature of in-play markets adds to the excitement. Reading about responsible gaming makes it easier to enjoy within your limits.
Things to keep in mind before you start cricket betting
Betting is a form of entertainment. Following the points below makes the experience more comfortable.
Decide in advance how much you will bet per match or per day. Do not go beyond your budget — if you lose, treat that amount as the cost of entertainment.
High-run markets work well in T20, and session-based markets work well in Tests. It is better not to bet without understanding the format.
Even though multi bets offer bigger odds, the entire bet is lost if even one selection loses. Adding more than three selections increases the risk quickly.
In Tests and ODIs, the nature of the pitch and rain forecasts affect the markets. This information is easy to find before a match.
In-play markets require quick decisions, but acting on emotion leads to bigger losses. Take a moment to think before each bet.
