Betting on Badminton at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games

With the next Olympic Games taking place in Los Angeles in 2028, you'll be able to bet on every match across the men's and women's singles, doubles, and mixed doubles competitions.
Indonesia topped the badminton medal table in 1992 with four medals (two golds and two silvers), but since the turn of the century, China has dominated, winning a staggering 20 golds in the sport – no other country has earned more than eight.
In 2028, the Olympic badminton competition is expected to take place in late July to early August, with over 170 players competing for gold in Los Angeles. All matches will be held at the Pauley Pavilion, a venue known for its iconic sports history and vibrant atmosphere.
Betting on the Thomas Cup
Bet on all the action from badminton's Thomas Cup, a team competition held every two years. Founded in 1949, the Thomas Cup now sees 12 men's teams face off in a series of round-robin matches before progressing to the knockout stages.
India are the most recent Thomas Cup champions, having won their first-ever title in 2022.That made them just the sixth team in the competition's history – dating back 30 editions – to win the Thomas Cup, with Indonesia dominating with 14 titles.
Bet on every game from the Thomas Cup at William Hill, with a great range of odds on every round-robin a nd knockout match. Pick your outright winner and runners-up, as well as choose from a selection of special markets on margin of victory, total points and more.
Betting on the Uber Cup
The Uber Cup is the premier women's badminton team championships in the world, and now runs concurrently to the Thomas Cup – the men's equivalent. It started in 1957 and takes its name from the British player Betty Uber, who played a key role in the competition's founding.
China are the most successful team in Uber Cup history, with 15 titles – but they couldn't overcome South Korea in 2022, who beat them 3-2 in the final to win only their second Uber Cup. Only five nations have won the Uber Cup in its history, although England, Denmark, Netherlands and Thailand have also finished as runners-up down the years.

Badminton betting tips
Badminton is an exciting sport to watch – but when it comes to betting on the action, there are a few betting tips you should keep in mind before you commit:
- Form: as with so many sports, form in badminton matters. With tournaments taking place throughout the year, you won't have to look too hard to see if a player is on a winning streak or in the middle of an extended rut. Check the recent form before placing your badminton bet.
- Conditions: badminton is an indoor sport, but that doesn't mean that conditions are going to be completely identical for every single match at every single tournament. Travel and time difference can play a factor in players making sluggish starts to events, particularly if they've had to trek thousands of miles to the latest venue.
- Stats: there is tons of statistical badminton information readily available out there with just a quick search. It's well worth researching form figures and stats for a player, particularly if you're betting on badminton markets like first game winner or total sets in the match.
