That's why 1150 makes badminton betting one of its flagship offerings — with odds updated every minute throughout each match.
On this platform, you can bet on the match winner, set handicap, total games, or special markets such as the series winner — all accessible directly from your smartphone without installing any additional software.
Whether you're watching the match live on TV or tracking the score through the 1150 app, live badminton betting adds a whole new dimension to how you enjoy the sport.

How to Read Badminton Odds — A Simple Guide for New Users
Match Winner Market Example
Say the match is between a Malaysian player (A) and an Indonesian player (B). The odds are set as follows: Player A to win at 1.65, Player B to win at 2.20. If you place RM 20 on Player A and they win, you receive RM 33 (RM 20 × 1.65). If you back Player B at 2.20 with RM 20, the payout is RM 44 should they win.
Lower odds reflect market favourites — but higher odds mean bigger returns if you get it right. Live betting lets odds shift in real time as the game unfolds during a match.

How Malaysian Users Play — Four Real-Life Scenarios
Watch the Match and Bet from Your Sofa
Ahmad from Kuala Lumpur was watching the Malaysia Open live on TV. Using the 1150 platform on his phone, he placed a live bet while the first game was in progress. When the Malaysian player fell behind 3-8, the odds for a comeback win lengthened — Ahmad backed him at that price, and the player came back to win 21-18, 21-15.
Lunch Break — Check the Latest Scores Over Lunch
Siti from Penang uses her lunch break to check the BWF World Tour schedule on her 1150 account. She spots a semifinal kicking off at 2 PM and places a match winner bet before heading back to work. The result is waiting in her account when she checks back after hours.
Strategising with Friends Before the Thomas Cup
Razi and a group of friends in Johor Bahru regularly discuss their Thomas Cup betting picks together. They analyse player records using information from the BWF website, then each place their own individual bets on their 1150 accounts. The team format of the Thomas Cup opens up more betting angles than a standard singles match.

Farah from Kedah signed up for a 1150 account over the weekend. She deposited RM 20 via TNG, picked an ongoing women's singles match, and placed her first bet on the match winner. The entire process — from registration to first bet — took less than 10 minutes.
