Badminton Is More Than a Sport — It's Malaysian Pride
Malaysia is one of the great badminton powers in the world. Legends like Lee Chong Wei and Dato' Razif Sidek, alongside the new generation — Lee Zii Jia and the men's doubles pair of Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik — have put the nation on the international map. That enduring passion makes badminton the most popular betting sport among 179 users.
Every time the Malaysia Open is held at Axiata Arena in Kuala Lumpur, thousands of fans pack the stadium while millions more watch the live broadcast from home. At 179, you can turn that passion for the game into a more active experience by betting on your favourite matches — from the first round all the way to the final.
Alongside Super Series tournaments, betting is also available for the Thomas Cup, Uber Cup and Sudirman Cup. These are the team championships that bring national pride to its peak. Backing Malaysia's team in these events is how many devoted fans choose to show their support.
Beyond international tournaments, 179 also offers odds on local badminton leagues and select friendly matches, giving users who want to bet more frequently throughout the year plenty of options.

How to Read Badminton Odds — A Quick Guide
Understanding odds is the first step before placing a bet. Odds show how much you stand to win relative to your stake. Here's a simple example to help you understand the formats commonly used at 179:
Say the match is between Player A (Malaysia) vs Player B (China). Odds are displayed as:
- Player A wins: 1.85 — if you bet RM 100, you receive RM 185 (profit of RM 85)
- Player B wins: 2.10 — if you bet RM 100, you receive RM 210 (profit of RM 110)
Lower odds mean the market considers that player more likely to win. Higher odds indicate a less-favoured player, but a bigger payout if they come through.
The example above is a general illustration for explanatory purposes. Actual odds vary by match, time, and current market conditions.
| Bet Types | Brief Description |
|---|---|
| Match Winner | Pick the overall match winner |
| Set Handicap | The underdog is given a head-start in sets |
| Total Sets | Bet on whether the match ends in 2 or 3 sets |
| Exact Set Score | Predict the exact set score (e.g. 2-0 or 2-1) |

Follow Every Match from Anywhere
The 179 platform is built mobile-first. The badminton betting interface is optimised for smaller screens — bet buttons are large and clear, match listings are easy to scroll through, and confirming a bet takes just a few taps.
For Android users, the official 179 app delivers a smoother experience than a standard browser. Push notifications keep you informed when odds change or new matches are added. iOS users can access the platform via an optimised mobile Safari browser.
On slower connections — such as inside a stadium or in crowded areas — the 179 platform still performs reliably. Betting pages load with minimal data without sacrificing important odds information. The "Confirm Bet" button remains clearly visible at all times, no zooming needed.
If you haven't logged in to your 179 account, you can still browse the match listings and current odds freely before deciding to register.
Five Badminton Betting Angles You Should Know
Men's Singles — The Most Anticipated Format
Men's singles is the headline event at most major tournaments. Players like Malaysia's Lee Zii Jia carry immense expectation every time they step on court. In betting terms, men's singles offers the widest range of odds — from match winner to point handicap within specific sets.
Men's Doubles — Malaysia's Team Strength
Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik have firmly established themselves as world-class partners after claiming bronze at the Tokyo Olympics. Betting on the Malaysian men's doubles pair is consistently popular, backed by their strong track record on the international stage. Markets typically rate their chances of reaching the final quite highly.
Thomas Cup & Uber Cup — The Spirit of Team Malaysia
The Thomas Cup (men) and Uber Cup (women) are the most prestigious team championships in badminton. Malaysia is a former and highly respected Thomas Cup champion. During these tournaments, team betting at 179 surges sharply as fans look for a more active way to show their support.
Superseries Tournaments — The Premier Annual Calendar
Throughout the year, there are over 20 top-tier tournaments on the BWF World Tour calendar. That means there's almost always a match to follow and bet on every week. 179 keeps its tournament listings regularly updated so users never miss a betting opportunity.
In-Play Betting — Odds Shift Every Set
In-play betting lets you adjust or add bets while a match is in progress. If your preferred player drops the first set but you believe they'll come back, you can bet on the second set at odds that may be more favourable. This adds a deeper layer of strategy compared to pre-match betting alone.
