infinity8 — Latest Malaysia Sports Odds
On this page you will learn how to read match odds, the types of markets available on infinity8, and how to start betting on your favourite sports in MYR — from EPL football to BWF badminton.
Match odds — the number that determines your return
Match odds are numerical values assigned by a betting platform to each possible outcome of a match. These values reflect the relative probability of each outcome and directly determine how much you receive if your bet wins. The higher the odds, the greater the potential return — though this typically reflects an outcome considered less likely to occur.
At infinity8, odds are displayed in decimal format — the most straightforward format for Malaysian users. It shows the total amount you'll receive for every RM 1 staked, including your original stake. For example, odds of 2.40 means every RM 10 you bet will return RM 24 gross if successful.
Beyond decimal format, you may also come across Asian-style odds (Asian Handicap), which are popular in football markets across the region. This format assigns a head start or handicap to one team to level the playing field between two sides of differing strength.
A simple calculation example
Say you want to place a bet on a football match:
| Selection | Odds | RM 50 Bet | Gross Return |
|---|---|---|---|
| Team A Wins | 1.85 | RM 50 | RM 92.50 |
| Draw | 3.40 | RM 50 | RM 170.00 |
| Team B Wins | 4.20 | RM 50 | RM 210.00 |
The figures above are neutral examples for illustration purposes only.
Five most commonly used market types
Understanding the differences between these markets helps you make sharper picks based on your sports knowledge.
The most straightforward market — pick whether the home team wins (1), it's a draw (X), or the away team wins (2). Great for beginners since the concept is simple and easy to follow.
The weaker team is given a goal advantage before the match begins. This eliminates the draw option and offers more balanced odds between two teams of differing strength.
Predict whether the total number of goals, points or sets in a match will be over or under a set value. No need to pick a winner — just focus on the overall total.
Also known as BTTS (Both Teams To Score). Predict whether both teams will find the net during the match, regardless of the final result.
Predict which player will score the first or last goal of the match. This market offers higher odds due to its difficulty, making it ideal for those who follow team news closely.
Markets that open while the match is in progress. Odds change in line with how the game unfolds — more dynamic and requiring faster decisions.
Sports most searched by Malaysian users
Malaysian users have different sporting interests compared to other Asian markets. Football remains the number one sport among local betting fans, especially for premium leagues like the English Premier League, UEFA Champions League, and the Malaysia Super League, which commands a loyal following from the south to the north of the country.
Badminton holds a special appeal in Malaysia given the success of local players on the international stage. BWF World Tour events, the Thomas & Uber Cup, and the SEA Games regularly draw strong interest in the betting markets. Odds for individual badminton matches typically use a straight winner format without a handicap, given that the match format is naturally head-to-head.
Beyond these two sports, international cricket, Grand Slam tennis and NBA basketball also draw strong interest among users who follow global sports. At infinity8, markets for all these sports are accessible directly from your mobile screen — no need to switch apps or platforms.

How Malaysian users actually use match odds
Following the EPL on your phone during half-time
The majority of Malaysian users access the infinity8 platform via smartphone, typically during lunch breaks or in the evening when EPL fixtures are usually available to check. They open a browser, log in, and head straight to the weekend match listings to track odds movements before making their betting decisions.
This reflects how mobile-optimised platforms like infinity8 fit seamlessly into the modern Malaysian lifestyle. No need to sit at a desk — all odds information is accessible in under a minute, from anywhere.
Thomas Cup season badminton — the moment fans have been waiting for
When the Thomas Cup or Uber Cup season arrives, interest in badminton markets surges among local users. Matches featuring Malaysia against countries like Indonesia, China or Japan attract a lot of attention, driven by strong patriotic sentiment. Bettors typically look for match winner and set handicap markets in individual ties.
Unlike football, which has hundreds of matches every week, major badminton events come around only a few times a year. This makes each match more emotionally significant and calls for more focused analysis before placing a bet.
Make the most of in-play odds during intense matches
In-play betting opens up opportunities that simply are not there before kick-off. When the leading team scores first, their odds of winning shorten while the odds for the opposition to come back lengthen. Bettors watching the match live can use these shifting odds to their strategic advantage.
That said, in-play betting requires quick decisions and a solid grasp of match dynamics. It is better suited to users already familiar with odds formats and who have in-depth knowledge of the sport in question.
Frequently asked questions about match odds
Straightforward answers to help you understand and start betting with confidence.
Each betting platform sets its own odds based on its internal risk assessment models and probability calculations. These differences are also influenced by the total amount wagered on each outcome — platforms adjust their odds to manage their risk exposure. At infinity8, odds are updated regularly to reflect the latest market information. To check the current odds, log in to your account and browse the available sports section.
Not necessarily, but a basic understanding of the sport you're betting on does help you make smarter decisions. For beginners, straightforward markets like 1X2 (match winner) require no in-depth analysis. That said, for more complex markets such as Asian Handicap or in-play betting, knowledge of recent form, player injuries, and pitch conditions is useful. Our FAQ section on the FAQ provides a detailed guide for new users.
Odds can change at any time right up until the match kicks off, depending on the latest news about teams, weather conditions, or other factors affecting the assessment. The most significant shifts typically occur within the final 24 hours before kick-off, particularly once official squad lists are announced. Some markets may also be temporarily suspended before a match if there is a sudden change in information. Bets that have already been confirmed will retain the odds at the time they were placed.
Yes, infinity8 supports live betting (in-play) for ongoing matches. You can place bets on markets that are open during a match, with odds updating continuously. Access to this feature requires you to be logged in and navigate to the active matches section.
