Online gambling sites in Thailand cannot be more thrilled about Thailand’s chance of winning after a statement given by the Badminton Association of Thailand President Khunying Patama Leeswadtrakul. She believed that it is possible for Thailand to become Thomas Cup 2018 winner.

The President said “Now, we have athletes with great abilities as well as young star athletes who are further developing their skills. Under supervision of the Indonesian Coach Rexy Mainaky along with cheers from Thai people, we hope to give big encouragement and support to Thai athletes. That’s why we are confident that we will be able to finish in 1 out of the 3 places.”

Denmark and Malaysia’s Battle

In 2016, Denmark and Malaysia fought for the champion title. The scores in each set were always neck-to-neck. In the beginning, it looked as if the Malaysians were winning and the Danes were emotionally frustrated in the first two rounds. In the end, the Danes were able to flip the game around with great performance and won by 3-2 sets.

One of the most memorable moments in the last Thomas Cup was when Anders Skaarup Rasmussen broke his badminton racket to celebrate his team’s victory! So being the previous champion, Denmark definitely has a run on to be the Thomas Cup 2018 winner. According to online sportsbook sites, Denmark’s odds of winning are at (11/2) which is a lot higher than Malaysia at (20/1).
