In badminton sports betting, “Total” refers to betting on the combined number of points or games played in a match or a specific set, regardless of which player wins.
Main Types of Total Bets in Badminton:
1. Total Points (Over/Under)
- Definition: You bet on whether the total number of points scored in the match (or a single set) will be over or under a number set by the bookmaker.
- Example:
- Bet: Over 75.5 Total Points
- If the match ends 21-19, 18-21, 21-16 → Total = 96 points (You win)
- If total points are 74 or less → (You lose)
2. Total Games (Sets) Played
- Definition: Betting on the number of games (sets) in a match. Badminton is usually best of 3 games.
- Options:
- Over 2.5 Sets: Match must go to all 3 sets.
- Under 2.5 Sets: Match ends in 2 sets (2–0 win).
- Example:
- Match result: 2–1 →
- Over 2.5 wins.
- Match result: 2–0 → Under 2.5 wins.
Tips When Betting on Totals:
- Study player styles: Aggressive players = more points.
- Close matchups = higher chance of Over totals.
- Consider fatigue, form, and recent head-to-head results.
