Badminton is very popular in China because of the sport's relative simplicity. The gear and equipment is inexpensive plus badminton courts are readily accessible.

Badminton is a popular recreational sport and amateur leagues exist across China.

Well known Chinese badminton players include Lin Dan, Zhang Ning, Lu Lan, Gao Ling, Huang Sui, and Xie Xingfang.

Betting on Badminton matches is just like betting on Tennis matches. There are no point spreads in Badminton because there is no meaningful way to measure how much a player wins or loses by. In Badminton, all that really matters is who wins and loses, and that's where money line wagering comes into play.

Money line results are decided by an event's straight-up winner, without regard to any point spread, since there is no point spread.
