997 Sports Betting —
Leagues, Handicap & Live 24 Hours
This page takes you to all available Sports Betting markets on the 997 platform — from Liga Malaysia and EPL football, badminton, and boxing, to live markets during ongoing matches. All in one mobile platform, accessible wherever you are.
What Is Sports Betting at 997?
Sports Betting on 997 means you can choose a team, athlete, or specific match outcome and place a real-money bet in MYR. If your pick is correct, you receive a payout based on the set odds. The 997 Sports Betting section covers local and international football, badminton, boxing, basketball, and more — all accessible under one account.
Unlike casino games that rely entirely on chance, Sports Betting lets you make decisions based on your knowledge of teams, performance records, and current match conditions. That's what makes it an appealing option for sports fans who want to add an extra layer of excitement to the game.
Available Market Types
The Sports Betting section on 997 offers a wide range of markets for every match — including Asian Handicap (the most popular market in Malaysia), 1X2 markets for European leagues, Over/Under for total goals or points, first-half-only markets, and outright winner markets for individual sports like badminton and boxing.
Beyond pre-match betting placed before kickoff, 997 also offers live betting while the match is in progress. Odds shift in real time as the game develops, giving you more opportunities to make sharper decisions based on what's actually happening on the pitch.
How Malaysian Users Use 997 Sports Betting
Four common scenarios showing how the platform fits into the everyday life of a local sports fan.
Saturday nights are peak time for Liga Malaysia. 997 users across Malaysia — from Ipoh to Kota Kinabalu — can place Asian Handicap bets on that night's matches right from the couch. Deposit via TNG in MYR, pick your team, and follow the results live on your smartphone.
For EPL fans, early morning or late-night kick-offs are no longer a barrier. 997 provides live markets for EPL matches so you can place Over/Under bets while the game is on, tracking real-time odds changes directly from your smartphone.
Malaysia is a world badminton powerhouse. When local players compete at the BWF or Olympic level, Malaysian interest in badminton markets rises sharply. 997 offers both singles and doubles markets for major badminton events, letting fans of the national sport follow tournaments at a deeper level.
Malaysian mobile users value speed. With an active 997 account, placing a bet on a morning match before heading to the office takes under two minutes. Pick the match, choose your market, enter the amount in MYR and confirm — all from a small screen, no desktop required.

Two Core Concepts to Understand Before You Start
Before placing your first bet on 997, getting familiar with these two core concepts will help you read the markets more clearly and make better-informed decisions.
- Asian Handicap
-
Asian Handicap is a market that gives one team a points advantage or disadvantage before the match begins, levelling the playing field between two unevenly matched sides. For example, if Malaysia is given a -0.5 Handicap against Indonesia, Malaysia must win for the bet to succeed. The Handicap eliminates the draw from your options, making every bet a clear win or loss.
A quick example: Malaysia -0.5 against Vietnam means your bet on Malaysia wins only if Malaysia wins outright.
- Over/Under (Total Goals)
-
The Over/Under market lets you bet on whether the total goals or points in a match will be higher or lower than a value set by the platform. For example, an Over/Under of 2.5 for a Liga Malaysia match means you choose whether the total goals will be three or more (Over) or two or fewer (Under). This market doesn't require you to pick a winner, making it a simpler option for beginners.
Quick example: Over 2.5 goals means the match must end with at least three goals in total.
How to Read a Bet Slip
When you select a market on 997, the system builds a bet slip showing your selection, the current odds and the estimated payout if you win. You can add more than one selection to a single slip for a parlay bet, which offers higher payouts. However, every selection in a parlay must be correct for the bet to win — one wrong pick is enough to void the entire slip.
Hari Raya, World Cup & Special Weekends
997 regularly runs Sports Betting promotions tied to festive seasons, major finals, and key league weekends. These include bonus deposits for first bets, selected free bets, and enhanced odds on specific matches. Create an account and check the promotions section regularly so you never miss an active offer.
