Badminton is a major sport played at a competitive level worldwide, including the Olympics. With a busy event and tournament calendar, there are plenty of opportunities for fans to engage in badminton betting in Ireland.

Betting on sports online can be a fun way to enhance the experience of watching the biggest badminton competitions while rooting for the player you’ve placed a wager on.

We’ve compiled an in-depth guide about betting on badminton online that will cover how to understand badminton betting odds and markets, the biggest badminton events of the year, and the badminton betting tips to help you out.

Badminton Betting Odds

The odds on a badminton betting site are how a bookmaker indicates the likelihood of a specific outcome occurring and the payout you can get if you place that bet and it wins. Understanding how odds like Olympic badminton betting odds work before placing your bet is important.

The most common odds format used by Irish bookmakers is decimal. For example, odds of 7.0 for Yamaguchi Akane mean that if you bet €1.00 on him to win and he does, you’ll receive a payout of €7. 

Bookmakers can also use fractional odds. Using the example above, odds of 6.0 would be odds of 5/1. You can easily change the format at Betiton from the menu at the top-right corner of the page.

Badminton Betting Markets

As one of the best badminton betting sites in Ireland, we offer various betting markets. This means you won’t be limited to betting on the winner of a match or tournament. Below, you can learn more about the most popular betting markets available on our platform.

• Match Winner – The most common form of badminton betting which involves trying to predict the winner of the match.
• Over/Under – Betting on whether the total points scored will be over or under a specific number.
• Odd/Even – Betting that the total number of points scored in a game or event will be odd or even.
• 1^st Set (Total) – A type of set betting that involves predicting the number of points scored during the first set.
• 1^st Set (Winner) – Betting on which player will win the first set (the player to reach 21 points first).
• 1^st Set (Odd/Even) – Betting on whether the total number of points scored (by both players) will be odd or even.
• Correct Set Score (Best of 3) – Betting on the exact even score for a whole set.
• Asian Handicap – An advanced betting market for most sports, which refers to ‘levelling the playing field’ by applying an advantage to the underdog and a disadvantage to the favourite player.

Live Badminton Betting

Live badminton betting refers to placing your bets when the match has already begun. It’s a great way to jump in on the action if you didn’t place your bets beforehand for any reason, and you can usually keep placing bets throughout the game.

Live betting for any sport normally offers lower odds, so you won’t be able to try your luck at some of the bigger payouts that pre-match betting typically provides. However, you’ll be able to make better betting decisions based on what’s happened in the game so far, meaning your winning odds might be higher.

Betiton Ireland Badminton Betting Offers

The £10 Free Bet can be claimed when signing up and wagering at least €15 with minimum odds of 2.00. The offer is subject to several terms and conditions, which can be found on the promotion page. Please read these carefully before claiming the bonus.

Badminton Betting Tips by Betiton Ireland

Besides choosing the best online badminton betting sites to bet on badminton, there are a few other tips and strategies you can apply to increase your odds of winning a bet. Remember, like any other type of sports betting, winning isn’t always possible, but if you make wise betting decisions, you can improve your odds and avoid some common mistakes.

• Shop around for the best odds – Odds vary from one betting site to another, so you’ll want to ensure you get the best value for your bet.

• Aim for high odds with lower payouts – The bet most likely to win often provides the lowest payout because it’s almost a sure winner. Aiming for smaller, more consistent wins might be better than taking big risks.

• Do plenty of research – Although past data doesn’t always predict future results, it’s crucial to consider a player’s recent form and results based on their playing conditions before betting on them.

• Understand badminton rules and the tournament format – Betting on a sport you don’t understand is never a good idea. It’s important to stay updated on the world of badminton and follow the major tournaments if you’re going to bet on them.

• Learn how to make the most of your bankroll – We recommend starting with smaller bets to use your allocated betting budget more wisely and avoid the huge losses that big bets can sometimes cause.

What Is Badminton?

Badminton is often compared to the more popular sport of tennis, but it’s a unique sport with a unique and rich history. It has been played worldwide since the 1870s, and in 1992, it became an official Olympic sport.

The rules of badminton are similar to those of tennis in many ways, although there are significant differences that make this sport unique. Like tennis, badminton is an individual sport played between two players standing on opposite sides of a net.

A special ‘ball’ called a shuttlecock and a badminton racket are used. The objective is to hit the shuttlecock over the net while the other player returns it to the player who threw it. Points are earned if the shuttlecock hits the net, goes out of bounds, or is not returned by the opponent.

A typical badminton match consists of three sets. The first player to reach 21 points wins the game. Additionally, the winner must beat the opponent by at least two points. If it’s a draw, the first player to achieve the 30^th point wins.

Responsible Gambling

Badminton betting online can be a thrilling form of entertainment for avid badminton fans, but it can also be risky if you’re not aware of safe gambling practices. Like any form of betting, there’s always a risk of losing your money, so you should never gamble with money you can’t afford to lose and stick to a strict budget.

We also recommend visiting the Betiton Responsible Gambling page to learn more about the safe gambling tools available in your account. Remember that sports betting and any other form of gambling are entertainment, not a means of earning money.
