Two Betting Concepts You Need to Understand
Understanding these core concepts helps you place bets with more clarity and confidence, rather than relying purely on guesswork.
- Set Handicap
- Set handicap means one player is given an artificial advantage or disadvantage before the match begins, to level the appeal of betting between two unevenly matched competitors. For example, if Aaron Chia is given a -1.5 set handicap, he needs to win by a two-set margin for a bet on him to pay out. This allows users to get more attractive odds even when backing the stronger competitor.
- Quick example: You bet RM 30 on Player A with a -1.5 set handicap. If Player A wins 2–0, your bet is successful and you receive a return based on the stated odds.
- Total Points Betting (Over/Under)
- An over/under bet asks you to predict whether the total points scored in a match (or each set) will exceed or fall short of the value set by the platform. You don't need to pick a winner — instead, you analyse both players' styles and whether they tend to play long or short rallies. For example: the platform sets the line at 41.5 points for the first set. If you pick "Over" and the set's total points come to 43, you win.
- Quick example: Bet RM 20 on Over 41.5 points in the first set. If the set ends 21–19, the total is 40 — Under wins.
