Get to Know the Most Popular Odds in Football & Basketball Betting
Sports betting can be exciting, but only if you know what you’re looking at. At 711CUCI Sportsbook, we offer a wide variety of betting options — especially in football and basketball — two of the most popular categories in Malaysia. Here’s a beginner-friendly breakdown of the odds you’ll encounter:
1. Moneyline / Match Winner (Who Will Win?)
The simplest type of bet:
Choose which team will win.
Draw is an option in football, but not in basketball.
Example (Football):
Manchester City: 1.70
Draw: 3.50
Liverpool: 4.00
In basketball:
Lakers: 1.55
Celtics: 2.30
Pick the team. Win the game. Collect your payout based on the odds.
2. Handicap Betting (Asian Handicap)
This is especially popular in Asian markets. It levels the playing field when one team is much stronger than the other.
Example:
Barcelona (-1.5) vs Sevilla (+1.5)
You win on Barcelona only if they win by 2 or more goals.
Basketball version:
Bucks (-5.5) vs Heat (+5.5)
If you bet Bucks, they must win by 6+ points.
Great for increasing odds value when betting on favorites.
3. Over / Under (Total Goals or Points)
Bet on the total combined score of both teams.
Example (Football):
Over 2.5 goals: 1.85
Under 2.5 goals: 1.90
Example (Basketball):
Over 210.5 points: 1.88
Under 210.5 points: 1.88
Perfect if you’re unsure who’ll win but expect a high or low scoring game.
4. Correct Score (Exact Result)
You bet on the exact final score. It’s risky but rewarding.
Example:
Football: 2–1 = 9.00 odds
Basketball: 110–102 = 15.00 odds
High risk, high reward. Use when you feel confident.
5. First Half / Second Half Betting
Bet only on what happens in one half of the match. Useful when teams start strong or finish strong.
6.Odds Can Change Before Kickoff – Here's Why
It’s important to understand that betting odds are not fixed — they can change at any time before a match starts. This applies to both football and basketball matches.
The opening line, also known as the initial odds, is based on pre-match evaluations such as:
Team form & injuries
Historical head-to-head records
Player lineups and starting roster leaks
Public betting volume and market reactions
Home vs away advantage
Weather conditions (especially in football)
As new information becomes available, the sportsbook adjusts the odds to reflect real-time conditions and balance the betting risk.
For example:
If the favorite team’s star striker is suddenly ruled out before kickoff, their winning odds may increase from 1.65 to 1.85 — giving you more value if you catch the change early.
