What types of bets can I choose from?
Each match typically offers several different betting market types.
Pick between the home team winning (1), a draw (X), or the away team winning (2). This is the most straightforward bet type and a great starting point for anyone new to Sports Betting.
The stronger team is given a goal deficit to level the playing field. This eliminates the draw outcome in most cases, leaving players with just two options — win or lose the bet.
Predict whether the total goals in a match will be over or under a set value. For example, Over 2.5 means you are predicting that three or more goals will be scored throughout the match.
Predict the exact final score of a match. Odds for this bet type tend to be higher because it's harder to get right — suited for players who are confident in their match analysis.
How to choose the right bet type
The right bet type depends on how well you understand the match and how much risk you are comfortable taking. For beginners, 1X2 and Asian Handicap are easier to get started with, as their structures are more straightforward.
Total Goals (Over/Under) is a good fit when you follow match statistics closely — such as a team's scoring record over their last few matches, player conditions, and weather factors. The more information you have about a match, the more accurate your analysis will be.
If you're just getting started, try placing small bets first to get a feel for how odds work before increasing your stake. The FAQ we have additional guides on how to read the odds schedule.

How to read match odds correctly
A basic guide for players who are just starting out with sports betting.
997 uses decimal odds format, the most widely used format in Southeast Asia. The calculation is straightforward: multiply your stake by the odds value to get your total return.
For example, if the odds for Team A to win are 2.40 and you bet RM 25, the return if you win is RM 25 × 2.40 = RM 60. This includes your original RM 25 stake, so the net profit is RM 35.
Lower odds like 1.30 indicate a higher probability of winning according to market assessment — but the return on every MYR staked is smaller. Conversely, higher odds like 4.50 or 6.00 reflect less predictable matches, with bigger payouts if your prediction turns out to be correct.
Keep in mind that odds reflect market sentiment, not a guaranteed outcome. Your own analysis of team form, player conditions, and pitch factors still matters when making smarter betting decisions.
| Odds | Bet Amount (RM) | Total Returns (RM) | Net Profit (RM) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.30 | 50 | 65.00 | 15.00 |
| 2.00 | 50 | 100.00 | 50.00 |
| 2.40 | 50 | 120.00 | 70.00 |
| 3.50 | 50 | 175.00 | 125.00 |
Start with 1X2 bets on matches where you know the teams well. Check head-to-head records and current form before making your decision. Avoid betting on matches where you don't have enough information.
Safety and fairness in Sports Betting
User data security is the foundation of a comfortable betting experience. The 997 platform uses industry-standard SSL encryption to ensure all your personal information and financial transactions are transmitted through protected channels.
On the fairness front, pre-match odds are set based on market analysis and updated regularly as new information comes in. For in-play betting, odds move automatically in real time based on how the match unfolds.
User accounts are protected with encrypted passwords. We recommend using a unique password and keeping your login credentials private. If you notice any suspicious activity, contact our support team at [email protected].
What you should know before betting
Before placing your first bet in the Match Odds section, it helps to understand a few basics. These aren't hard requirements, but knowing them will make your experience a lot smoother.
Things that are easy to overlook
Many new players jump straight into betting without checking a few important things first. The panels below summarise entries and help resources that are often overlooked.
Pre-match betting typically closes a few minutes before kick-off. Make sure you place your bet early — don't wait until the last moment, as the system will reject any bets submitted after the deadline.
The odds displayed when you're browsing and the odds at the point of confirmation may differ slightly due to market movement. This is standard practice in the industry. Always check the final value on the confirmation screen before clicking confirm.

Match Odds FAQs
The three questions most commonly asked by players new to this section.
Pre-match bets are placed before a match kicks off. Odds are generally more stable and you have more time to think through your selections. Pre-match betting closes once the match begins.
Live (in-play) betting takes place while the match is in progress. Odds shift quickly based on live developments such as goals, red cards, or injuries. This requires faster decision-making and a deeper understanding of the match. For further guidance, check FAQ us.
