Five Key Things You Need to Know About Match Odds
1. Decimal Odds Format — The Easiest to Use
Decimal odds are the standard format used at 170 and the most intuitive for Malaysian players. The value is expressed as a number such as 1.85, 2.40, or 3.10. The calculation is straightforward: multiply your stake by the odds to get your total return. For example, a RM50 bet at odds of 2.40 returns RM50 × 2.40 = RM120, which includes your original stake. Your net profit is RM70. Odds below 2.00 mean you receive less than double your money, while odds above 2.00 mean more than double.
2. Asian Handicap — The Popular Football Pick
Asian Handicap is the most widely used market type for football in Malaysia. It works by giving one team a goal advantage or disadvantage before the match begins. If the team you back carries a -1.0 handicap, they need to win by 2 or more goals for your bet to win. Conversely, a +0.5 handicap means your team can lose by one goal and your bet still wins. Half-ball handicaps (0.5, 1.5) eliminate the possibility of a push, making outcomes clear-cut.
3. 1X2 Market — Three Choices, One Outcome
The 1X2 market is the most straightforward form of betting, offering three outcomes: 1 (home team wins), X (draw) and 2 (away team wins). The odds for each option vary based on team strength and expected results. The X (draw) option typically carries higher odds due to its lower probability in most competitive matches. This market is ideal for beginners as it is easy to understand without needing to factor in goal margins.
4. Over/Under — Bet on the Total, Not the Winner
The over/under market lets you bet on the total points, goals or runs in a match without having to predict the winner. In football, for example, the over/under line might be set at 2.5 goals — if you pick "over", you need at least 3 goals in the match. This market is popular for cricket (total runs), basketball (total points) and football (total goals), as it adds a different dimension to the viewing experience.
5. In-Play Odds — Opportunities That Keep Shifting
In-play odds are odds that update in real time as a match unfolds. They shift with every significant event — a goal, red card, penalty or break of serve. This gives attentive players the opportunity to spot favourable odds before the market fully adjusts. Speed of reaction is key in this type of betting.

Match Odds vs. Table Games — Know the Difference
- Odds values shift based on team performance & statistics
- Bet before or during a live match
- Multiple market types for a single match
- Requires sports knowledge for the best strategy
- Outcome depends on the actual match result
- Odds are calculated mathematically by the casino
- Each round is independent of the previous one
- Fewer market options per game
- Mathematical strategy matters more than sports knowledge
- Outcome depends on cards, dice or the wheel
Both categories have their own strengths. Players who enjoy statistics and live sports will feel more at home with match odds, while those who prefer a faster pace and instant results may find more excitement at the casino tables or poker games available at 170.

FAQ — 170 Match Odds
It's straightforward: multiply your stake by the displayed odds. The result is your total return, including your original stake. For example, a RM100 bet at odds of 1.95 returns RM195 if you win, giving a net profit of RM95. Higher odds mean greater potential returns but generally indicate a lower probability of winning.
A -0.5 handicap means your chosen team must win by at least one goal for your bet to succeed — a draw is not enough. A -1.0 handicap means the team must win by two or more goals; a 1-0 win results in a "draw" on the handicap and your stake is refunded. Choose a handicap that reflects your confidence in the team you are backing.
In general, confirmed bets cannot be cancelled or modified. This is standard practice across the sports betting industry. Always double-check your market type, odds value and stake amount before confirming. If you experience a technical issue such as a system disruption during the confirmation process, contact 170 support via email at [email protected] for assistance.
Odds change because they reflect current conditions — including betting activity from other players, the latest injury news, or weather changes affecting match performance. Before a match kicks off, odds can shift within hours due to money flowing in from multiple players. During a match, every goal or red card can move the odds within seconds. This is all part of the normal dynamics of the sports betting market.
