In badminton sports betting, a (+1.5) set handicap means that 1.5 sets are added to the underdog’s total sets won for the purpose of the bet.
What it means:
- The underdog team/player is given a 1.5 set advantage before the match starts.
- The bet is settled based on the number of sets won, after applying the handicap.
How it works:
Badminton matches are usually best of 3 sets.
- If you bet on Player A (+1.5):
- Your bet wins if Player A wins at least 1 set (even if they lose the match 1–2).
- Your bet loses only if Player A loses 0–2.
- If you bet on Player B (-1.5):
- Your bet wins only if Player B wins 2–0.
- Your bet loses if Player B wins 2–1 or loses the match.
Example:
| Match Result | Bet on (+1.5) | Bet Result |
|---|---|---|
| Player A loses 1–2 | Wins (1 set + 1.5 = 2.5 vs 2) | Win |
| Player A loses 0–2 | 0 sets + 1.5 = 1.5 vs 2 | Lose |
| Player A wins 2–0 | Win | Win |
