Betiton Canada now offers a wide range of odds and markets for badminton, taking online sports betting to the next level. In this review, I’ll look at how wagering on this sport works, taking you through the most popular markets, the best tournaments to bet on, and some top betting tips.

Badminton Betting Odds

Badminton betting odds are available in three formats: decimal, fractional, and American. You can toggle between the three at the top right of this site. I’ve explained each format below:

  • Decimal: This shows your total payout for a winning bet, including your stake. For example, wagering $10 at odds of 2.80 means you would receive back $28 if your bet wins. 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 a $40 return. This will be $30 in winnings and your $10 stake.
  • American: This format sticks out like a sore thumb since it uses a plus and minus sign. The minus sign tells us who the favorite is and the amount that must be placed to win $100. On the other hand, the plus sign 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 one of the best online badminton betting sites is that you will be able to find a range of interestingmarkets relating to this sport. Keep reading below:

  • Match winner: This is the most straightforward wager since you just have to predict the player who will win the match. If your selected player is victorious, you win your bet.
  • Tournament winner: If you do not want to bet on a player to win a particular match, you can bet on someone to win the event. Since this is harder to predict, the odds on offer are often more enticing. However, remember that the odds will get shorter as the tournament progresses and an apparent winner becomes more evident.
  • 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. If the threshold is 34.5 points, and you bet on ‘over,’ you need the match to total 35 or more points. You will need 34 or fewer points scored if you opt for under.
  • Winning margin: With this market, you try to predict how many points a player will win a game by. Since this is difficult to get right, the odds usually offer a high potential return.
  • Match score: A 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 difficult to predict, so the odds can be quite high.

Olympic Games

Badminton joined the Olympics in 1992, and it now features women’s and men’s singles and doubles events, as well as mixed doubles. Alan Budikusuma and Susi Susanti, both from Indonesia, became the first champions of this sport at the Olympic Games.

Chinese athletes have gone on to dominate the Olympics, picking up 20 gold medals. Indonesia is sitting in second place but is way back on eight gold medals.

World Championships

The BWF World Championships is the biggest competition in this sport. With its global appeal and rich history, it hosts singles and doubles events for men and women, alongside mixed doubles, just like in the Olympic Games. Taking place every two years, Lin Dan has been the most successful player in this competition, as he has won it five times. This competition does not offer direct prize money. Rather, players compete for world ranking points, which help them qualify for other tournaments from which they can gain monetary rewards.

Thomas Cup

The Thomas Cup is a prestigious men’s international team tournament. It first occurred in 1948 and was named after Sir George Alan Thomas, who founded it. It occurs every two years in various locations, and 16 teams participate. The dominant forces over the history of this competition have been Indonesia, China, and Malaysia. Indonesia holds the highest titles, but China won the most recent edition in 2024.

Uber Cup

The Uber Cup is the female equivalent of the Thomas Cup. It was established in 1956 and was named after Betty Uber, a very talented player from Britain. China, Indonesia, and Japan have dominated this competition, with China sitting at the top of the medals table in the 2024 edition.

All England Open

The All England Open is one of the oldest tournaments in badminton. Established in 1899, this competition is known as the unofficial World Championships. Players who have had plenty of success at this prestigious event include Rudy Hartono (eight men’s titles), Judy Devlin (10 women’s titles), Betty Uber, and George Alan Thomas (eight mixed double titles each). As of 2024, England is sitting at the top of the performance table with 194 wins, while Denmark is in second place with 89 wins.

European Championships

This is a prestigious competition that showcases the best players from across Europe. It was established back in 1968 and takes place every second year. The location changes across Europe, with singles, doubles, and mixed doubles events. Denmark has had the most success in this tournament thanks to talented players such as Camilla Martin, Morten Frost, and Peter-Gade Christensen.

BWF World Tour Finals

This competition is also known as the ‘Season-Ending Championship.’ It features the top eight players competing in women’s and men’s singles, doubles, and mixed doubles events. This is a relatively young badminton event, established in 2008. It has a round-robin format followed by semi-finals and finals. Notable champions include the likes of Lee Yong-dae, Kento Momota, and Tai Tzu-ying.

Pan American Championships

This is the premier badminton competition for countries across the Americas, showcasing the best talents from Central, North, and South America. This yearly tournament was established in 1977 and has singles, doubles, and mixed doubles events. Brazil, Canada, and the United States were historically the strongest nations at this event. The success and prestige of this competition have significantly helped improve the sport’s quality in this part of the world.

Commonwealth Games

Badminton was introduced to the Commonwealth Games in 1966 and features players from participating countries. This big event occurs every four years in one of the Commonwealth countries. Malaysia, England, and India have been the major forces in this sport at the Commonwealth Games, with some noteworthy players including Saina Nehwal and Lee Chong Wei.

US Open

The US Open came into being in 1954 and is an annual event in the US – not particularly surprising considering its name. It has mixed, single, and double events and is part of the BWF World Tour. The tournament gives Americans a platform to show off their badminton skills and has contributed greatly to the sport’s growth across the United States. Previous champions include the likes of Chou Tien-chen, Lee Hyun-il, and Beiwen Zhang.

Sudirman Cup

The Sudirman Cup, which was named after Dick Sudirman, a talented Indonesian player, is a mixed-team championship. Founded in 1989, this competition brings men and women together to play for their countries in mixed, singles and doubles events.

Betiton Canada Badminton Betting Tips

It’s time to look at some wagering tips, all of which are important to remember when placing wagers on this entertaining sport.

  • The temperature matters: Heat can significantly impact a badminton match. Shuttlecocks are very light and are easily influenced by external forces – when the air is warm, the shuttlecock will fly much faster. In some venues in Indonesia and India, tournaments are held without air conditioning, leading to fluctuating temperatures during play. Players accustomed to faster play may have an advantage in such environments. It’s important to consider the venue’s environment when wagering on matches in these locations.
  • Consider motivation levels: This sport has its own tournament hierarchy, meaning that some events are more important than others. If a player is participating in a competition that is deemed less of a competition, their motivation to win might not be as strong. Before you bet on a match, work out how motivated your selected player might be.
  • Check out form: You need to check out the kind of form players 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: Players can 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.

What Is Badminton?

This 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 this sport are the best of three games, with the first player to score 21 points winning the game.

Games that 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, a big country house in Gloucestershire that belonged to the Duke of Beaufort. However, nobody knows how it got its name from this house.

Badminton Rules Explained

Here are the most important rules of the sport:

  • A match is the best of three games.
  • A player needs 21 points to win a game.
  • If the score is 20-20, a player must lead by two points to win the game.
  • If it is 29-29, the next person to score their 30th point wins.
  • The player that wins a game will serve first in the next.
  • A point is scored if the shuttlecock lands in the opponent’s half, hits the net, or lands outside the court boundaries.
  • A player cannot hit the net.
  • A player cannot hit the shuttlecock twice.
