13th Live Match — Follow the Score & Bet While the Action Unfolds
This page explains how to access the Live Match section on 13th — from understanding live betting terms and how to get started, to watching scores update in real time on your smartphone.
What Is Live Match on 13th?
Bet while the match is in progress
Live Match means you can place bets on sports that are already in progress, in real time — not just before the match kicks off. The odds shift with what's happening on the pitch: the current score, red cards, goals, attacks, and team momentum. On 13th, this section lets you react to the action as it happens, rather than just predicting from the sidelines.
Why do the odds keep changing?
In live betting, odds are automatically recalculated based on what's happening on the pitch at any given moment. If your chosen team scores a goal, their odds of winning shorten — meaning the payout if they win is lower. Conversely, if they fall behind, their odds lengthen to reflect the higher risk. Understanding this dynamic is key to making sharper betting decisions.
Key Terms in Live Betting
Get familiar with these six terms before you start — you'll come across them repeatedly when using the Live Match section.
A type of bet placed while a match is already underway, as opposed to pre-match bets made before the opening whistle. In-game bets are time-sensitive — you need to act quickly before the odds shift or the betting window closes.
A betting format that levels the playing field between two teams by giving the weaker side a head start or the stronger side a deficit. This eliminates the possibility of a draw in most cases and makes betting more engaging when the two teams are mismatched.
Bet on the total number of goals, points, or events in a match against a set threshold. For example, Over 2.5 means you're predicting three or more goals will be scored in that match. This is independent of which team wins.
A value that indicates the payout rate for every RM wagered. Odds of 2.00 mean every RM1 bet returns RM2 if you win — including your original stake. In live betting, odds shift with match conditions and should be checked before confirming your bet.
A combined bet where you select multiple matches or outcomes at once and merge them into a single bet slip. Every selection must win for the bet to pay out — the risk is higher, but the potential returns can be significantly greater than a single bet.
A brief window during which the platform temporarily stops accepting bets — typically when a goal, red card, injury, or penalty is being processed. This happens automatically to ensure odds can be updated accurately before new bets are accepted.
How to Use the Live Match Section
Five simple steps from opening an account to following your first match live.
Go to registration page and enter an active Malaysian phone number. SMS verification takes less than two minutes. Your account is immediately active and ready to use once verification is complete.
Head to the finance section of your account and select FPX or TNG eWallet as your deposit method. The minimum amount varies depending on the method chosen. Deposits are typically credited within minutes.
After logging in, look for the Live Match icon or tab in the navigation menu. A list of ongoing matches will be displayed, showing the current score, match minute, and latest odds for each available market.
Click on any match you're interested in to view all available markets — match winner, handicap, total goals, half-time score, and more. Tap the odds you want to bet on to add them to your bet slip.
In the bet slip, enter the amount in RM you wish to wager and review the potential payout shown. Confirm before the odds change or the betting window closes. Successfully confirmed bets will appear in your bet history.
If you're new to live betting
Start with matches where you already know the teams and format. Football is a good entry point because the format is straightforward — 90 minutes, goals, cards, and half-time. Once you're comfortable, explore other sports like badminton, which has faster match cycles and exciting set-by-set markets.

How Malaysian Users Use This Feature
Football fans on weekends
For many users in Malaysia, weekends revolve around the English Premier League and the Malaysia League. With Live Match access on 13th, they can follow scores in real time and make betting decisions based on what's actually happening on the pitch — not just pre-match predictions. When their favourite team goes 1-0 up at the 30-minute mark, they can place additional bets on the handicap or total goals at odds that already reflect the current situation.
This comes in especially handy for those who enjoy watching matches with friends and making calls based on what they see — rather than relying solely on stats and pre-match analysis.
Badminton fans during tournaments
Badminton is a sport Malaysians take great pride in, with a passionate following across the country. During tournaments like the All England or Thomas Cup, 13th users can follow final-round matches in real time and bet set-by-set — choosing who will win the third set or the overall match when the score is tight.
Set-by-set betting in badminton moves faster than football — each set can be done in as little as 20 to 30 minutes, making for a quicker action cycle. Users who are already familiar with local players' techniques and playing styles find this a natural platform to put that knowledge to use.
Accessible from the city to small towns
The 13th platform is designed to run smoothly on a standard mobile connection — no fibre WiFi or special setup needed. Users from Genting Highlands to the interiors of Sabah with a regular 4G connection can access Live Matches without significant interruptions. Odds and scores update continuously with no need to manually refresh the page.
