Why Badminton & Betting Are a Perfect Match in Malaysia
Badminton is more than just Malaysia's national sport – it is part of our national identity. From the era of Razif Sidek to the golden years of Lee Chong Wei, and now a new generation led by Lee Zii Jia, Aaron & Wooi Yik, and Pearly & Thinaah, Malaysian players have proven time and again that we are among the strongest forces in world badminton. It's no surprise, then, that badminton betting has become one of the most popular categories among local sports fans.
At 1win Casino, we understand how deeply badminton is woven into Malaysian life. That is why we built the most comprehensive and user-friendly badminton betting section in the industry — designed specifically with local players' needs and habits in mind.
The Most Diverse Badminton Betting Markets
Many new players assume badminton betting simply means picking who will win. In reality, at 1win Casino, there are over 50 betting markets available for every major badminton match. This gives you the flexibility to place bets that match your own knowledge and strategy.
Among the most popular markets are Match Winner, Set Handicap, Total Sets, Correct Score First Set, First Set Winner, and in-play betting during live matches. For team events such as the Thomas Cup and Sudirman Cup, there are also dedicated markets like Overall Tournament Winner and Total Points Scored by each team.

Advantages of Badminton In-Play Betting
One of the most popular features among experienced players at 1win Casino is a sophisticated in-play betting system, meaning you can place bets while a match is in progress, not just before it starts. Odds shift in real time based on what is happening on court — so if Lee Zii Jia drops the first set but you can see his momentum starting to turn, you can jump in straight away at more favourable odds.
To make the most of in-play betting, you need a platform that is fast, stable, and updates odds without delay. At 1win Casino, our server infrastructure across the Asia region ensures odds updates happen in under a second. This gives you a significant edge over platforms that experience delays in refreshing their odds.
Understanding Badminton Odds and How to Read Them
Odds in badminton betting at 1win Casino uses decimal odds format, which is straightforward to understand. For example, if Lee Zii Jia has odds of 2.15, a RM 100 bet would return RM 215 (including your original stake) if he wins. His opponent at odds of 1.70 would return RM 170 on the same RM 100 bet.
Lower odds indicate that a player is the favourite, while higher odds reflect an underdog who is less expected to win. Backing the right underdog can deliver significantly larger returns. That is the art of badminton betting — and what makes it so thrilling and challenging.
