At international level, the biggest tournament is the Olympic Games. However, outside of this, the BWF World Championship is the event that all Badminton players dream of winning. If you're looking for Badminton betting tips for this event, you should look at large accumulator bets, as you'll be able to place bets on a lot of games where higher seeded players take on lower seeded players, which typically leaves one player as a heavy favourite.

Who is the best Badminton player in the world?
Currently Denmark's Viktor Axelsen sits as the highest rated player in the world, he is ranked first in the player rankings and has sat at the peak of Badminton sports since 2017. However, Indonesian Anthony Sinisuka Ginting and Japan's Kodai Naraoka are two young players looking to knock the Dane off his perch, so if you're looking to bet on Badminton with an outright winner, one of these three could be one to look out for. Alternatively, China's Lin Dan is widely regarded as the best Badminton player of all time.
As for the women's game, the ranking points are significantly closer than the men's competition. While there is a significant gap between first and second in the mens competition, the women's competition sees the top four players in the world at the moment. Japanese player Akane Yamaguchi, South Korean An Se-young, Taiwanese (Chinese Taipei) Tai Tzu-ying and Chinese Chen Yufei are the four that have shared the top positions in the last five years. If you're looking at Badminton tournaments to bet on, An Se-young from South Korea is a player that we recommend keeping an eye on.
What players are best in the mixed doubles competition?
Chinese doubles teammates are some of the very best when it comes to competitions. They have a great range of players in both the male and female categories, which makes China an excellent betting opportunity for the 'nationality of winner' bet type.
