Two concepts to understand before you start betting
Match Winner
- Definition
- You pick who wins a specific badminton match — either Player A or Player B in singles, or a specific pair or team in doubles.
- A simple example
- If Lee Zii Jia is up against Viktor Axelsen, you can choose "Lee Zii Jia to win" or "Viktor Axelsen to win". Pick correctly and you win based on the displayed odds.
Set Handicap
- Definition
- Set Handicap gives one player a set advantage or disadvantage to level the playing field — typically used when one player is significantly stronger than their opponent.
- A simple example
- If Player A has a -1.5 set handicap, they need to win by at least 2-0 for the bet to pay out. This opens up more options within each match.
