Open any sportsbook in Malaysia and you will see odds such as 0.90, -0.80 or 1.95. To a regular bettor they mean something clear. To a newcomer they can look like random numbers. The confusing part is that the same price can be shown in three different formats, and 711Cuci lets you switch between all three: Decimal, Hong Kong and Malay odds.
This guide explains what each format means, how to convert between them, and how to use them when betting on football, badminton, basketball and eSports on 711Cuci. No complicated maths, just simple examples in ringgit.
Why Odds Formats Matter on 711Cuci
Odds tell you two things: how much you can win, and how likely the bookmaker thinks an outcome is. Every format shows the same information in a different way. Choosing the format you understand best helps you:
-
see your potential return at a glance before confirming your bet slip
-
compare prices between different markets and providers on 711Cuci
-
avoid mistakes with negative Malay odds, which work differently from the other formats
You can change the odds display in the 711Cuci sportsbook settings, so pick the one that feels most natural and stick with it.
Format 1: Decimal Odds
Decimal odds are the easiest to read. The number shows your total return per RM1 staked, including your stake.
Example: You bet RM10 at decimal odds of 1.90.
-
If you win: RM10 × 1.90 = RM19 returned (RM9 profit + RM10 stake)
-
If you lose: you lose your RM10 stake
Decimal odds are always above 1.00. The higher the number, the bigger the potential return and the less likely the outcome.
Format 2: Hong Kong Odds
Hong Kong odds show profit only, without your stake. To convert from decimal, simply subtract 1.
Example: Decimal 1.90 = Hong Kong 0.90.
Bet RM10 at Hong Kong 0.90 and win, and you make RM9 profit (RM10 × 0.90), plus your RM10 stake back. It is exactly the same bet as decimal 1.90, just written differently. Hong Kong odds are common in Asian handicap and over/under markets.
Format 3: Malay Odds (Positive and Negative)
Malay odds are the format that confuses most new bettors on 711Cuci, because they can be positive or negative.
Positive Malay odds (0.01 to 1.00)
Positive Malay odds work exactly like Hong Kong odds. A Malay price of 0.90 means you win RM0.90 profit for every RM1 staked.
Negative Malay odds (-0.01 to -1.00)
Negative Malay odds are usually shown on the favourite. With a negative price, the stake you enter is the amount you win, and the amount you risk is your stake multiplied by the odds.
Example: You bet RM10 at Malay odds of -0.80.
-
If you win: you win RM10
-
If you lose: you lose RM8 (RM10 × 0.80)
In other words, you are risking RM8 to win RM10. This is why it is so important to check your bet slip on 711Cuci before confirming: it shows both your stake and your potential return clearly.
Quick Conversion Table
Here is how common prices look across all three formats, plus the implied probability (how likely the price suggests the outcome is):
Simple conversion rules:
-
Decimal to Hong Kong: subtract 1
-
Hong Kong to Malay: if Hong Kong is 1.00 or less, Malay is the same; if it is above 1.00, Malay = -1 ÷ Hong Kong
-
Implied probability = 1 ÷ decimal odds
Putting It Into Practice on the 711Cuci Sportsbook
The 711cuci sportsbook brings together providers such as M8 BET, IBC BET and Sbobet, with pre-match and live betting across football, badminton, tennis, basketball and eSports. Here is how odds formats apply to the most popular markets:
Football: Asian Handicap and Over/Under
Asian Handicap and Over/Under markets on the Premier League, Champions League, La Liga and Serie A are usually priced close to even, often around 0.85 to 0.95 in Hong Kong or Malay format. Seeing a negative Malay price here simply means that side is slightly favoured by the market.
Badminton and Tennis
For BWF World Tour events, the Thomas Cup and tennis Grand Slams, you will often see a heavy favourite. That favourite might show as 1.20 in decimal, 0.20 in Hong Kong, and 0.20 in Malay. The underdog might show as 4.00 decimal, 3.00 Hong Kong and -0.33 Malay.
Basketball and eSports
NBA point spreads and eSports matches in Dota 2, League of Legends, Counter-Strike 2 and Mobile Legends follow the same rules. Live in-play prices move quickly, so understanding the format at a glance becomes even more useful.
Mix Parlay
711Cuci also offers Mix Parlay, where you combine several selections on one ticket. For parlays, decimal odds are the easiest format to use, because you simply multiply them together.
Example: Three selections at 1.90, 1.85 and 2.00 give combined decimal odds of about 7.03. A RM10 parlay would return about RM70.30 if all three win. If any one selection loses, the whole ticket loses.
Common Mistakes 711Cuci Bettors Should Avoid
-
Misreading negative Malay odds. Remember: with a negative price, you risk less than your stake but only win your stake amount.
-
Switching formats mid-session. Pick one format in the 711Cuci settings and stay with it to avoid confusion.
-
Ignoring implied probability. A price is the market's estimate, not a guarantee. Even a 1.20 favourite loses regularly.
-
Over-building parlays. Every extra leg multiplies the return but also makes the ticket much less likely to win.
-
Not checking match rules. According to 711Cuci's sports page, bets on postponed or abandoned matches are generally voided and stakes refunded if the match is not played within 36 to 48 hours. Check the specific rules for each market.

Bet Responsibly
Understanding odds helps you make clearer decisions, but it does not remove the risk. Sports results are unpredictable, and the bookmaker's margin is built into every price. Set a budget before you bet, never chase losses, avoid betting under pressure or emotion, and take breaks. Online betting is for adults aged 18 and over only, and you should always check the laws that apply where you live.
Final Thoughts
Decimal odds show your total return, Hong Kong odds show your profit, and Malay odds work like Hong Kong odds until they turn negative, when your stake becomes the amount you win. Once you understand those three ideas, every price on the 711Cuci sportsbook becomes easy to read. Choose your favourite format, double-check your bet slip, and enjoy the matches with a clear head.
