It may seem a curious racquet sport but badminton is enjoyed by millions of recreational players around the world and it’s a huge draw at professional level too. The game also has a loyal following on the sportsbooks with many tournaments in line for the betting community to consider.
Badminton made its debut at the summer Olympics in Barcelona in 1992 and it’s been a permanent fixture in the games ever since. The Olympics only comes around every four years but there are many other events in store including the Badminton World Championships. First held in 1977, the world championships are now held annually, outside of Olympic years.
The sport has top class leagues and other major tournaments including the Thomas Cup and the Uber Cup. All main events are covered on the Unibet sportsbook but what, exactly, can you bet on?
All major competitions, including the Olympics and the World Championships will see outright markets appear well ahead of the first serve. Many bettors like the option of taking a long range ante post bet and we give them plenty of time to consider their options. A quick decision isn’t essential, however, as these markets will remain in place until winners are decided.
Odds for individual matches will be quoted and the markets will open shortly after draws have been made and fixtures confirmed. With no option for the tie in this sport, bettors have to pick between two opponents on either side of the net.
Badminton will also be covered in our live sportsbook while this is a sport that also gives us scope to quote for a number of prop bets. With competitive odds included, this is a comprehensive betting package so remember to check out Unibet for any major badminton competition on the sporting schedules.
