Match Winner
Which team will win — Team A or Team B? Two options in T20 and ODI; a draw is added in Tests. The simplest market.
SimpleHow to read odds in BPL, IPL and international cricket, which markets you can bet on, and how live in-play betting works — all in one place.
To bet on cricket, the first thing to understand is which format is being played, because markets differ by format. 77 joya offers betting across all three formats.
Each team plays a maximum of 20 overs. Matches finish quickly, so odds change frequently. BPL, IPL and the T20 World Cup are the most popular events in this format. T20 is the best fit for live betting because the situation can change dramatically with every over.
The 50-over one-day format. This format is most common in ICC World Cups and bilateral series. The pace of play is slower than T20, so there is more time to consider markets like total runs and top batsman.
In five-day Test cricket, a draw is a possible result, so the match winner market has three options. Wicket-based and session-based markets add another dimension to Test betting.
The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) is naturally the most familiar tournament to cricket fans in this country. Interest in the domestic franchise teams keeps the BPL match betting markets active.
Although IPL is India's franchise league, it draws huge interest across the subcontinent. The T20 World Cup and other ICC events are among the biggest betting occasions at the international level. Bangladesh Tigers matches naturally see higher participation from local cricket fans.
Alongside cricket, 77 joya also offers football betting. Football generally finishes within 90 minutes and goal-based markets dominate, which is different from cricket's over- and wicket-based markets. For those interested in casino games as well, live casino and slots are available at 77 joya Casino.
Each market calls for a different approach. Below is a brief introduction to seven common markets and how they work.
Which team will win — Team A or Team B? Two options in T20 and ODI; a draw is added in Tests. The simplest market.
SimpleYou can bet on who will win the toss before the match starts. The result depends entirely on a coin flip, so the odds for both sides are almost equal in this market.
QuickWhich batter will score the most runs in an innings or the full match? One player is selected from within a team; if they do not play, the bet is void.
SkillThe site sets a specific run total. You decide whether the actual total will be over or under that number. Odds shift quickly when wickets fall.
StatisticsA bet on how many runs will be scored in the powerplay. This market settles very quickly in T20. The openers' form and pitch conditions are taken into account.
LiveWho will take the most wickets in the match? Odds shift with the mix of spin and pace. Considering the pitch report and weather conditions makes this market easier to read.
StrategyMultiple matches or markets can be combined on a single slip. If all bets win, the odds multiply for a larger return — but if even one loses, the entire bet is lost.
High RiskThe same bet price can be written in three different formats. 77 joya may display any of the formats, but the calculation is always the same. Use the two examples below to understand all three formats.
| Team / Result | Decimal | Fractional | American |
|---|---|---|---|
| Team A Win (Underdog) | 2.50 | 3/2 | +150 |
| Team B Win (Favourite) | 1.80 | 4/5 | -125 |
Decimal 2.50 = Fractional 3/2 = American +150. If it wins, total return is ৳1,250 (৳750 profit + ৳500 stake); if it loses, ৳500 is gone.
Decimal 1.80 = Fractional 4/5 = American -125 (minus means how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit). If it wins, total return is ৳900 (৳400 profit).
In American format, a positive (+) number means profit on a ৳100 bet, and a negative (-) number means how much you need to stake to make ৳100 profit.
Placing bets while a match is in progress is called in-play or live betting. In cricket, this type of betting is particularly interesting because the situation changes rapidly.
Say Team A has lost two wickets during the powerplay — Team B's odds of winning will shorten (meaning less return), while Team A's odds will lengthen (meaning more return). In the same way, several consecutive sixes will also shift the over/under odds on total runs.
In live betting, decisions need to be made quickly. Odds update within seconds, so it helps to decide in advance which market you want to focus on. Live betting is even easier on the 77 joya mobile app because all updates come through instantly.
New opportunities come up after every over in in-play betting. If a new batter comes in during the death overs, the odds in the top batsman market are recalculated. This constant movement is what makes T20 live betting stand out.

Betting is one form of entertainment. The tips below help make the experience more organised.
Live betting works better in T20 because things change fast. In Tests, there is more time to consider the match winner or session-based markets.
Decide how much you will put on a match or a session before it starts, and stick to that limit. Following the responsible gaming guidelines keeps betting enjoyable.
Betting across too many markets at once splits your attention. It is better to get familiar with simpler markets like match winner or total runs first.
All selections must win in a multi bet. With three selections at decimal odds of 1.40, 1.60 and 1.80, the combined odds will be roughly 4.03 — ৳403 back on ৳100, but if even one loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
On a spin-friendly pitch, spinners' odds shorten; in pace-friendly conditions, pacers' odds shorten. If rain is forecast, total runs odds may change.
Rather than betting on your favourite team out of loyalty, looking at the match situation before deciding makes the betting experience more enjoyable.
