SBOTOP New ID: Malay, Hong Kong and Indonesian Odds Explained for Indian Bettors
SBOTOP is an Asia-facing online sportsbook licensed in the Isle of Man and the Philippines, with a history linked to SBOBET. GameWinExch is not affiliated with SBOTOP and cannot open or issue an SBOTOP account. GameWinExch provides its own rupee betting IDs through WhatsApp with UPI deposits. Anyone who has looked at an Asian sportsbook has met a column of numbers that do not resemble the decimal prices on an Indian exchange: 0.85, -0.92, 1.05, 0.78. These are Malay, Hong Kong and Indonesian odds, the formats used by the biggest football bookmakers in the world. This page explains each one, shows how to convert between them, and explains why the margins behind them are so thin.
Hong Kong Odds: The Easy One
Hong Kong odds show the profit per unit staked, excluding the stake. Decimal odds of 1.85 become 0.85 in Hong Kong format, because a ₹1,000 stake returns ₹850 profit. To convert Hong Kong to decimal, add 1. To go the other way, subtract 1. A Hong Kong price of 1.20 is decimal 2.20. Everything else in Asian pricing builds on this idea of stating profit rather than total return.
Malay Odds: Positive and Negative
Malay odds are the confusing format. Positive Malay odds behave like Hong Kong odds for prices below evens: 0.85 means ₹850 profit on ₹1,000. Negative Malay odds appear for favourites priced above evens, and the number tells you how much you must risk to win one unit. Malay -0.80 means you stake ₹800 to win ₹1,000. Converting: for positive Malay, decimal = 1 + Malay. For negative Malay, decimal = 1 + (1 divided by the absolute value), so -0.80 becomes 1 + 1.25 = 2.25. The counter-intuitive part is that a negative Malay number closer to zero is a bigger price: -0.50 is decimal 3.00, while -0.95 is decimal 2.05.
Indonesian Odds: The Mirror Image
Indonesian odds are American odds divided by 100, with the same sign convention. Positive Indo odds show profit per unit: 1.25 means ₹1,250 profit on ₹1,000, decimal 2.25. Negative Indo odds show the stake needed to win one unit: -1.20 means stake ₹1,200 to win ₹1,000, decimal 1.833. So Indonesian and Malay formats use opposite signs for the same price: a strong favourite has negative Indo odds and positive Malay odds. Mixing them up is the most common error people make when they first use an Asian site, and it is expensive because the mistake reverses which side looks like value.
A Conversion Table for Your Phone
- Decimal 1.50 = HK 0.50 = Malay 0.50 = Indo -2.00
- Decimal 1.80 = HK 0.80 = Malay 0.80 = Indo -1.25
- Decimal 1.95 = HK 0.95 = Malay 0.95 = Indo -1.05
- Decimal 2.00 = HK 1.00 = Malay 1.00 = Indo 1.00
- Decimal 2.25 = HK 1.25 = Malay -0.80 = Indo 1.25
- Decimal 3.00 = HK 2.00 = Malay -0.50 = Indo 2.00
Save this list and check any Asian price against it before staking. For the underlying probability, divide 1 by the decimal figure: 1.95 implies 51.3 percent.
A Worked Example With Rupees
Suppose an Asian book shows Malay -0.85 on a favourite and Hong Kong 0.92 on the other side of a handicap. The favourite converts to decimal 1 + (1 divided by 0.85) = 2.176, and the outsider to 1.92. A ₹2,000 stake on the favourite would return ₹4,353 in total, a profit of ₹2,353; the same stake on the outsider returns ₹3,840. Implied probabilities are 45.9 percent and 52.1 percent, adding to 98 percent, which looks like a negative margin until you notice that the handicap lines differ by a quarter goal. Asian books hide part of their margin in the line rather than the price, and a reader who only converts the numbers without checking the handicap will misjudge the value. Always compare both the line and the price when moving between an Asian site and a decimal one.
Why Asian Margins Are So Thin
An Asian handicap market at Malay 0.95 on each side implies a total book of about 102.6 percent, a margin of 2.6 percent. European bookmakers on the same match often run 5 to 7 percent. The Asian model relies on enormous volume, brokerage and agent networks, and a willingness to take large stakes from professional customers whose bets sharpen the line. Thin margins mean a bettor loses less per unit turned over, which over a season is the difference between a small loss and a large one. The American football guide shows the US format that Indonesian odds derive from, and the exchange model described on the Betfair page pushes margins thinner still.
Which Format an Indian Panel Uses
Indian exchange panels display decimal odds, and some fixed-odds sections show the local khai-lagai rate style for cricket. Neither uses Malay or Indo formats, so the skill of reading them matters mainly when comparing a panel price with an Asian book to judge whether the panel is fair.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can GameWinExch open an SBOTOP account for me?
No. GameWinExch cannot open or issue an SBOTOP account and has no relationship with that company. It issues its own rupee IDs only.
Which Asian format is closest to decimal odds?
Hong Kong odds, because the only difference is the exclusion of the stake. Add 1 and you have the decimal price.
Why do Malay and Indonesian odds use opposite signs?
Historical convention. Malay format treats prices below evens as the normal case; Indonesian format inherits the American convention where favourites carry a minus sign.
Does a thinner margin mean I will win?
No. It means you lose less per rupee wagered on average. Winning still requires beating the line, which is harder against sharp Asian books than against soft ones.
