Badminton Betting

Badminton is considered to be a spectacular and dynamic sports discipline. It is widely in demand among betting fans. Despite its apparent simplicity, this sport requires endurance, quick reaction and tactical thinking from players. Badminton betting can be quite exciting, especially if you make bets at GGBET, which has a deep line covering the most professional tournaments. You can follow the events on the playing field and make predictions both through the website and the bookmaker's official mobile applications. The line is accessible 24/7.

History and popularity of badminton

Badminton is an ancient sport. Similar games were played 2 thousand years ago in Japan, China, and Ancient Greece. In the modern sense, badminton was formed in the mid-nineteenth century in England. Today, the discipline is especially popular in Asia - Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, as well as on the European continent.

Badminton competitions are held almost all year round, which makes the sport even more attractive for betting. Since 1992, the discipline has been included in the program of the Summer Olympic Games, which indicates a high status on the international arena.

The largest tournaments, in addition to the Olympics, include:

• World Championships;
• Uber Cup among women's teams;
• Thomas Cup among men's teams;
• BWF World Tour series.

These and other tournaments are deeply presented in the GGBET line. For each match, 20 or more outcome options are available for predicting. The bookmaker also pays attention to smaller tournaments. The line for them is also worked out at a deep level.

Rules in badminton

Structurally, the discipline is similar to table tennis, beach or regular volleyball. The game is divided into sets (games) and is played until one of the teams scores 21 points. When the score is 20:20, the opponents continue the match until someone achieves an advantage of 2 points. To win the match, you need to win 2 games. In men's badminton, there is sometimes a format when the game is played up to 3 wins.

Each point begins with the serve of one of the match participants. It ends with the shuttlecock falling onto the court, going out of bounds or a foul. The latter should be understood as touching the net with clothing, body, shuttlecock or racket. The shuttlecock is served from a special zone.

Main types of bets on badminton

On the GG BET website, bets on badminton matches are accepted in different formats. The number of outcomes is directly related to the popularity and prestige of the event.

Match outcome

The most common and simple type of badminton bet is to determine the winner of a specific match. In singles matches, you need to guess which of the 2 athletes will be able to win. In mixed and doubles games, predictions are accepted for the triumph of one of the duets. There are no draws in the discipline, which simplifies analytics, because you only need to guess from 2 options.

Handicap bets

Handicaps are aimed to equalize the opponents' chances of winning by adding virtual points. For example, a handicap of F1 (-3.5) indicates that in order to win the bet, the first athlete must score at least 4 points more than his opponent in the match. In turn, a bet of F2 (+2.5) will be successful provided that the second badminton player does not lose with a difference of more than 2 points.

An example of calculating the handicap in a match between Anthony Ginting from Indonesia and Kento Momota from Japan. Bet - handicap on Momota (-5.5) with odds of 1.85. The match ended with the final score of 21:15, 21:18 in favor of the Japanese. In total, the players scored 42 and 33 points, respectively. 42 - 5.5 = 36.5 > 33, therefore, the bet brought a win.

Handicaps can be not only half, but also whole. If, when using such a handicap, the number of points in the match is the same, then the bettor receives a refund on the bet.

Total points

Total is understood as a bet on the total number of points or sets. The bookmaker indicates certain values in the line for the match, and the bettor must choose whether the final result will be Less or More than this number.

Example: total match has 95.5 points. If such a match ends with a final score of 21:19, 18:21, 21:17, then the total number of points scored by the players will be 117. In this case, the bet of 95.5 (More) will be a winning bet, and the Less bet will be a losing bet.

Totals are accepted not only for the overall results, but also for the results of individual athletes.

Exact score

To win on such a bet, you need to accurately predict how many sets one badminton player will win in the match, and how many the other will win. The regulations of most tournaments assume a game up to 2 wins with a maximum number of sets - 3. Possible outcome options: 2:0 and 2:1.

Bets on statistical indicators

The GG BET bookmaker accepts a number of bets on statistical indicators. These can be:

• number of serves made right through;
• the number of mistakes on serve;
• the duration of one set or the entire match;
• the highest scoring point in the match;
• the highest scoring set in the match;
• whether a tie-break will be played.

An example of a bet on the match duration: the total playing time is 55.5 minutes with odds of More 1.90 and Less 1.90.

If the match ends in the 58th minute, the More bet will bring the win, if on 54 - Less.

Long-term bets

This type of bet on the GG BET website is called outrights. For convenience, they are placed in a separate section.

Long-term bets are accepted prior to the beginning of the tournament and partially after its start. There may be different options to choose from:

• winner of the tournament;
• best representative of one country in the competition;
• finalists;
• athlete getting into the top 3-5;
• which player will go higher in the tournament grid.

If in regular bets the calculation of winnings is made within a few hours after the end of the match, then in the case of long-term bets, payments are usually made at the end of the tournament. The exception is when a bet is made on the fact that, for example, a player will not qualify for the semi-finals, and he leaves the competition at the 1/8 or ¼ stage.

Bets on sets

In many matches, GG BET bookmaker company offers to bet on individual sets. These can be bets on the winner, handicaps by points, total points, and other indicators.

Combined bets

Often, the bookmaker accepts combined bets on badminton. They are a combination of several outcomes at once. Such bets are more difficult to predict, but they have high odds.

The most common bets in the line are:

• duration of the match and handicap;
• number of serves through and exact score;
• total and player's victory.
