Two Betting Concepts You Need to Understand Before You Start
A neutral explanation of the two most commonly used betting mechanisms in badminton.
- Game Handicap
-
Game handicap in badminton gives the weaker side a head-start in points, while the stronger side must overcome that deficit. This is used to level the playing field when there is a significant skill gap between the two players or teams, bringing the odds for both sides closer to even.
Example: Player A is considered the stronger player. The handicap is set at -3.5 games. If you bet on Player A with this handicap, Player A must win by a margin greater than 3.5 games for your bet to win.
- Exact Set Betting
-
Exact set betting requires you to predict the final set score of the match — for example, 2-0 or 2-1. It is harder to call than simply picking the winner, but offers higher odds due to the added specificity. In badminton, matches are typically played in a best-of-three format, so the final score will be either 2-0 or 2-1.
Example: You are betting that Player B will win 2-1. If Player B wins with a set score of 21-18, 17-21, 21-15 — your bet wins because the final result is 2-1.

Getting to the Badminton Section — What Most People Miss
Once logged in, look for the "Sports" or "Badminton" tab in the bottom navigation menu (on mobile) or the side bar (on desktop). Matches currently in play are shown at the top with a "LIVE" indicator. If no live matches are on at that moment, the "Upcoming" section displays the schedule along with the betting cut-off time. Note that betting for a specific match closes approximately 5 minutes before the first serve — so do not wait if you have already decided. You can also explore virtual sports betting options while waiting for the actual badminton match to begin.
