Badminton Betting Odds
When it comes to our badminton odds at Betiton Canada, you will find three different formats: decimal, fraction, and American. You can toggle between the three at the top right of this site.
We are aware that you might be a newbie when it comes to online badminton betting, so below we are going to take a brief look at the different formats so that you can choose the best one for you:
- Decimal: The decimal number tells you the amount that the sportsbook will pay out for a successful wager. For example, if you bet $10 on a player to win a match with odds of 2.80 and they do exactly that, you will receive $28.00. This is your $10 wager and $18 in winnings.
- Fractional: The fractional number indicates how much can be won for the stake that you need to bet. For instance, if you place a $10 bet with odds of 3/1 on a player to win and they do, then you will get $40 return. This will be $30 in winnings and your $10 stake.
- American: This format sticks out like a sore thumb since it makes use of a plus and minus sign. The minus sign tells us who the favorite is and the amount that must be placed to win $100. The plus sign, on the other hand, tells us who the underdogs are and the amount that can be won for a $100 bet.
Badminton Betting Markets
One of the reasons we consider Betiton Canada to be the best online badminton betting site is that you will be able to find a range of interesting betting markets. Let’s dive into some of the more popular ones below:
- Match winner: this is the simplest kind of badminton wager since you just have to try to predict the player who will win the match. If your selected player is victorious, you win your bet. If they lose, then your bet is lost. It does not come much simpler than that.
- Tournament winner: If you do not want to bet on a player to win a particular match, then you can bet on someone to win the event. Since this is harder to predict, the odds on offer are often more enticing. However, bear in mind that the odds will get shorter as the tournament goes on and an apparent winner becomes more obvious.
- Total points: This is an over/under bet where we will give you a number and then you must predict whether the total number of points scored will be over or under that figure. For instance, if we give you a threshold of 34.5 points and you opt for over, you will need there to be at least 35 points scored in a match. If you opt for under, you will need there to be 34 or fewer points scored.
- Winning margin: with this market, you try to predict how many points a player will win a game by. Since this is not easy to get right, the odds will usually offer a high potential return.
- Match score: a badminton match is won by the first player or team to win two games. As such, you can bet on the final score of a match, which can be 2-0, 2-1, 0-2, or 1-2. Again, this is not easy to predict, so the odds can be quite long.

Betiton Canada Badminton Betting Tips
Now that you know the various badminton markets and competitions that you can bet on at the best badminton betting site, we are now going to provide you with some badminton betting tips that you should keep in mind when placing wagers on this entertaining sport.
- Consider motivation levels: badminton has its own tournament hierarchy, meaning that some events are more important than others. If a player is taking part in a competition that is deemed to be less of a competition, their motivation to win might not be as strong. Before you bet on a badminton match, try to work out how motivated your selected player might be.
- Check out form: even the best players will lose their form every now and then, so you need to check out the kind of form that they are in before you put your money down. This can be done by checking how they have been performing in recent matches – if they have been on a losing streak, it is best to bet on someone else.
- Look out for injuries: they might come across as superhuman as times, but badminton players can still pick up injuries. These injuries will sometimes keep a player out of an event, but there will be times when a player will try to battle through a small injury. If you know that a player has an issue, it is wise not to put your money on them.
- The temperature matters: heat is something that can have a big impact on a badminton match. Shuttlecocks are very light and are easily influenced by external forces – when air is warm, the shuttlecock will fly much faster. Events in Indonesia and India usually take place in venues without air conditioners, meaning that the temperature will gradually increase as the tournament wears on. This will increase the speed of the game, giving an advantage to those who enjoy attacking.

What Is Badminton?
Badminton is a sport where players use rackets to hit a shuttlecock over a net. The aim of the game is to return the shuttlecock in such a way that your opponent can not hit it back over the net – this will earn you a point. Most games of badminton are the best of three games, with the first player to score 21 points winning the game.
Games which use shuttlecocks have been around in Eurasia for hundreds of years, but badminton, as we know it nowadays, was created by the British in the 19th century. It got its name from Badminton House, which is a big country house in Gloucestershire that belonged to the Duke of Beaufort. However, nobody actually knows how it got its name from this house.
