Three Market Types You Need to Know
Before you start betting on kiss98, it is important to understand the differences between the main market types. Each market has its own payout calculation method and suits different match situations. Below is a brief comparison of the three most commonly used markets on the platform.
| Market Types | Description | Best Suited For | Odds Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Asian Handicap | A goal advantage given to the weaker team to balance the betting | Football matches with a clear gap in team strength | -0.5 / +0.5 at 1.85 / 1.95 |
| 1X2 | Pick a home win (1), draw (X), or away win (2) | An evenly matched game with a high chance of a draw | 2.10 / 3.40 / 3.20 |
| Over/Under | Bet on whether the total goals will be over or under the set line | Matches with active attacking play or a solid defensive setup | Line 2.5 at 1.90 / 1.90 |
| Final Score | Bet on the exact final score or full-time result | Experienced users who follow team statistics | 1-0 at 7.50 |
To start using these markets, you will first need to open an account on kiss98 and make a deposit using one of the available methods.
Odds Terms That Often Confuse New Users
Sports betting comes with plenty of technical terms that can feel unfamiliar to first-time users. kiss98 uses standard industry terminology that is worth understanding before making any betting decisions.
The most widely used odds format in Asia. A value of 2.00 means you receive double your stake if you win, including the original stake.
A virtual goal advantage or deficit assigned to a team. It narrows the gap between stronger and weaker sides so the odds are more balanced.
A reference value set by the oddsmaker for markets such as total goals or points. For example, a 2.5-goal line in a football match.
The total amount you will receive if your bet wins. Calculated by multiplying your stake by the odds value.
Bets placed while a match is in progress. Odds change in real time based on current in-game conditions.
A combination of multiple bets on a single slip. All selections must win for a payout, but the combined odds are significantly higher.
A Simple Guide to Reading and Calculating Returns
Reading odds is simpler than it looks. A decimal odds value shows how much you will receive for every RM1 staked, including your original stake. So if the odds are 1.75 and you bet RM50, your total return is RM87.50.
For Asian Handicap, pay close attention to the handicap value before placing your bet. If your chosen team has a -1.0 handicap, they need to win by at least two goals for your bet to succeed. Make sure you understand this before confirming your bet slip.
For Over/Under markets, you do not pick a team — you simply predict whether the total goals in a match will be over or under the set line. This is ideal for those who want to bet without having to follow any particular team's form.
