“1st Set” betting in badminton refers to placing a wager on the outcome or events that occur during the first game (set) of a match. Badminton matches are typically played in a best-of-three sets format, and each set goes up to 21 points (win by 2).
Common 1st Set Betting Markets
Here are the most common types of 1st Set bets:
- 1st Set Winner
- Bet on which player or team will win the first set.
- Example:
- Player A to win 1st Set at 1.70 odds
- Player B to win 1st Set at 2.10 odds
- 1st Set Handicap
- One player is given a head start or deficit in points.
- Example:
- Player A -3.5: Player A must win by more than 3 points.
- Player B +3.5: Player B can lose by up to 3 points or win outright.
- 1st Set Total Points (Over/Under)
- Bet on how many total points both players will score in the first set.
- Example:
- Over 38.5 points (e.g., 21–18 = 39 points)
- Under 38.5 points
- Correct Score – 1st Set
- Predict the exact final score of the first set.
- Example:
- 21–17
- 21–19
- First to X Points in 1st Set
- Who will reach a specific point threshold first (e.g., 5, 10, 15)?
- Example:
- First to 10 Points: Player A or Player B
Tips Before Placing a 1st Set Bet
- Check head-to-head stats – Some players start matches stronger than others.
- Review form – Fatigue or recent performance may impact the first set.
- Watch for live betting – You can often get better value during the match if one player has a slow start.
