Riding168 Badminton — BWF Betting Markets for Malaysian Fans
This page covers everything you need to know about the Badminton section on riding168 — tournaments covered, available market types, how to read odds, MYR deposit methods, and how to access it directly from your phone.
How to Read Badminton Odds — A Guide with Examples
When you open a Badminton betting market on riding168, odds are displayed in decimal format. This represents the total amount you receive (including your original stake) if your bet wins. Simple example: if the odds for Lee Zii Jia to win are 1.65 and you bet RM50, the payout if you win is RM50 × 1.65 = RM82.50 — including your original stake of RM50, your net profit is RM32.50.
In most badminton matches, there are three main market types available on riding168: match winner (moneyline), set handicap, and total sets over/under. For new players, the match winner market is the simplest option — you just pick who wins, regardless of the set score.
The set handicap market comes in handy when betting on matches between players of noticeably different levels. For example, if the weaker player is given +1.5 sets, they need to lose by more than 1.5 sets for your +1.5 handicap bet to lose. In a best-of-3 format, this means the player can lose 0–2 and the +1.5 handicap bet still counts as a win.
| Market Types | How to Win | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Match Winner | Pick the winning player or team | All rounds |
| Set Handicap | Predict the final set margin, with a handicap advantage or disadvantage applied | Mid-level player |
| Total Sets (O/U) | Predict whether the match will go over or under the specified total number of sets | Experienced player |
| In-Play Markets | Place bets while the match is in progress | Active player |
Five Badminton Betting Angles You Should Understand
From local tournaments to the world stage — it's all on riding168
Malaysia Open is a BWF Super 1000 tournament held annually at Axiata Arena, Kuala Lumpur. Markets open well before the draw — giving players time to analyse potential matchups before placing their bets.
The All England Championships in Birmingham is one of the most historic tournaments in badminton. Malaysian players are always in the spotlight, especially in the highly competitive men's singles and men's doubles events each year.
This biennial team championship carries strong national pride. Malaysia is consistently among the top contenders in the Thomas Cup (men's) and Sudirman Cup (mixed), making these markets highly popular.
An end-of-year championship bringing together the world's top eight players and doubles pairs from each event. Markets for the World Tour Finals typically offer more competitive odds, as all participants are world-ranked players.
In-play markets let you bet while the match is in progress. Odds shift every few minutes based on how the match is unfolding — giving an edge to players watching the action live.
Top Badminton Tournaments Malaysian Players Follow in 2026
2026 brings a packed badminton schedule for Malaysian fans. Malaysia Open, typically held in June or July at Axiata Arena Kuala Lumpur, remains the marquee event on riding168 — drawing tens of thousands of spectators each year and millions more watching from around the world. This makes the Malaysia Open betting markets exceptionally active, with odds updated daily as the tournament approaches.
The All England in March is one of the first major tests of the new season for Malaysian players. Year after year, players like Lee Zii Jia in men's singles, the doubles pair of Aaron Chia–Soh Wooi Yik, and mixed doubles pair Tang Jie–Peck Yen Wei remain the centre of attention in the markets. When Malaysian players reach the semifinals or final, betting activity typically picks up significantly on platforms like riding168.
The Sudirman Cup, scheduled for 2026, is among the most anticipated tournaments as it tests the full depth of the national squad across all five events — men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles, women's doubles, and mixed doubles. Malaysia has a strong history in this championship, and team betting markets typically offer more variety than individual matches.

Badminton vs. Other Sports Categories — Key Differences in Betting
If you've bet on football or other team sports before, there are a few key differences to keep in mind when switching to badminton on riding168.
Badminton vs Football
- Match format: Badminton uses a set-based format (best-of-3 or best-of-5 in team events), unlike football which is measured by playing time. This means a match can wrap up in under an hour or stretch past two hours, depending on how the sets play out.
- Markets: Unlike football, badminton has no draw — every match produces a winner. This makes the moneyline market much simpler to follow, since you only have two choices instead of three (win/draw/lose).
- Weather factor: Badminton is played indoors, so weather has no bearing on the outcome — unlike open-air football.
Badminton vs Tennis
- Game speed: Badminton is the world's fastest racket sport — a shuttlecock can travel at over 300 km/h. This means match conditions can shift in an instant, making in-play markets more challenging to keep up with.
- Set format: Each badminton set is played to 21 points (with a 2-point lead required), which is simpler than tennis with its more complex games-and-sets structure. This makes it easier for players to follow the score at any point in the match.
- Asian influence: Badminton is dominated by Asian players — Malaysia, Indonesia, China, Japan, and Korea — which makes local knowledge far more valuable here than in sports like tennis.
