Two core concepts to understand before placing a bet
For users who are new to online Sports Betting, understanding these two key concepts will help you make decisions with greater confidence.
- Odds
-
Odds are numbers that indicate how much you will receive if your bet wins. Higher odds mean a lower chance of winning but a bigger payout.
Example: If the football odds for Team A to win are 2.50 and you place a bet of RM 20, you will receive RM 50 if Team A wins (RM 20 × 2.50).
- Handicap / Advantage
-
A handicap is a goal or point advantage/disadvantage given to a team before the match begins, levelling the playing field between stronger and weaker sides.
Example: Team B is given a 1.5-goal head start. If Team A wins 2–0, a bet on Team A with a -1.5 handicap still wins because the 2-goal margin exceeds 1.5.
