Sports betting volleyball

Volleyball betting is very popular among African players, and bookmakers prepare for them a really extensive range of bets. If you are interested in what volleyball bets are available, which ones are worth typing and how to analyze volleyball matches, check out the volleyball match betting guide below.

Volleyball-characteristics of the discipline

Before we move on to the main topic of the article, which is volleyball betting, let's recall the basic principles of this discipline. Players push the ball over the net with their hands, although it is not forbidden to bounce it with another part of the body, such as the leg or head. The team has the ability to bounce the ball up to 3 times (reception, exhibition, attack), after which he must play it to the rival side. A point is awarded to a team when the ball hits the opposing team's court, or when the opponent scores an autograph, plays into the net, or makes another mistake, such as a double bounce of the ball (in a row) by the same player.

A volleyball match is won by the first team to win 3 sets the maximum number of sets in a match is 5. The Set ends when one of the teams wins. 25 points if it also has a minimum 2 points advantage . Otherwise, the game continues until one of the teams develops such an advantage. If the fifth set is played, the so-called tie-break , it is in it to win enough to score 15 points while maintaining a 2-point advantage. People who place bets on volleyball must know that the rules of this discipline are identical for men's and women's volleyball .

Each team can field a maximum of 12 players, but only 6 of them play on the field. Volleyball players change their positions rotationally and this is very important – when placing bets on live volleyball, you need to pay attention to whether the current setting of the players is strong or so-called difficult (the quarterback does not have many options for playing the action). The positions in volleyball are: receiver, offensive, middle, quarterback and libero. Of course, the coach can make changes (no more than 6 in a set). During each set, 2 Technical interruptions . Each team can take 2 breaks on demand and 2 times per set ask for a challange video review of the last action.

Volleyball betting – pre-match offer

After these preliminary explanations, we can proceed to the merit, that is, the analysis of how the retina can be typed. Betting in this discipline gives a lot of opportunities, because some bookmakers prepare really many different variants of betting on a volleyball match or tournament. Below we present the most common bets on volleyball.

Volleyball-betting on the winner

The most popular type of betting in any sport is betting on the winner of a match. When it comes to betting on volleyball matches there are only 2 possible options, i.e. win one or the other team . A meeting cannot end in a draw, so unlike, for example, football matches, volleyball bets on the outcome of the competition are 2-way . From a statistical point of view, correctly typing the results of volleyball matches is therefore easier, because each of the possible outcomes has a 50% chance of proving itself (with a 33% chance in the case of 3-way bets).

In addition to the fact that bookmakers offer betting on the winner of the entire match, it is also possible to type winners of the selected set . There are also long-term bets on who will win the entire volleyball tournament, such as the World Championship.

Volleyball-betting on the exact result

Also when it comes to betting on volleyball matches as to what the exact outcome of the match will be, it is easier here than in the case of football. When it comes to this second discipline, there are many possibilities, and correctly typing this event is very risky. However, in some sports, it is no longer so difficult to place bets correctly. Volleyball is a sport that can be only 6 different match results , namely: 3:0, 3:2, 3:1, 0:3, 1:3, 2:3. The probability of hitting the result of the match is therefore much higher, and the chances of winning increase if the typing is supported by a thorough sports analysis. It is also worth knowing that these kinds of volleyball betting sites have very attractive odds.

Volleyball-Under/over betting

Volleyball betting can also use the so-called Line, where the players ' task is to bet on whether the result will be below or above this line. The plant may concern number of sets , and the line can be then, for example, 3.5-bet under 3.5 will be won if the match is played in 3 sets, and bet over 3.5-when 4 or 5 sets are held.

Bookmakers also allow you to type bets with a line on number of points in a set or match this is the sum of the points scored by both teams. Under/over betting can be offered on the number of points in a match with a line of, for example, 140 points.

Volleyball-handicapped betting

Betting on volleyball matches can also be done with the help of handicapped bets. In this case, one of the teams is awarded (the theoretically weaker team) or deducted (the favorite) virtual points for the bet, so their chances of winning are leveled. Handicapped betting is especially useful when one of the teams is the clear favorite for the meeting and such situations are not uncommon in a sport such as volleyball. Betting can relate to 2 types of handicap, namely in the offer for volleyball matches we distinguish:

• set handicap

Bookmakers first make bets on volleyball with a handicap that relates to winning sets. Handicap is available -1.5 seta, -2.5 seta, +1.5 seta and +2.5 seta. If the team with AH wins(-1.5), the bet will be hit if the team wins 3-0 or 3-1. In turn, in order to win a bet with AH(-2.5), the typical team must win without giving the opponent a single set (the result is 3:0). In the case of AH (+1.5), the team must win at least 2 sets and AH(+2.5) must win at least 1 set.

• points handicap

Betting on volleyball matches can also take place using bets with a point handicap, i.e. those where one of the teams points are added or deducted . This type of betting can relate to the outcome of the selected set or the entire match. For example, if we predict that the host will win with a handicap of -3.5 points, we bet that he will score at least 4 points more in a given set (bet on the result of the set) or that the sum of points scored in all sets by the host will be higher than the result of the guests by at least 4 points (bet on the result of the match).

Volleyball – betting on player statistics

Volleyball betting can also be as much about the results of individual volleyball players. These can be, for example, betting on whether a given player will score a certain number of points, aces or blocks, and these are often bets of the type under/over . Bookmakers also offer bets H2H (Head to Head), where 2 players are matched, and the player must choose which of them will end the match with a higher score, etc.

Volleyball-combined betting

In addition, bookmakers sometimes offer combined betting. Volleyball is poorer than football in this respect, but even here you can sometimes find interesting proposals. Most often, bookmakers provide bets such as "the team will win the first set and the team will win the whole match" (here other variants are possible, for example, the guests will win the first set and the hosts will win the whole match) or "the team will win the match and above/below the number of sets". Here, too, betting odds are usually interesting.

Volleyball-other types of betting

Of course, only the most popular bookmakers are listed above – however, volleyball can be bet in many other ways. In more extensive offers we can find m.in. bets on the exact result after 2 sets, bets on the winner of the first set, bets on whether the fourth set will be played and bets on whether the fifth set will take place.

It is also worth mentioning about "even/odd" bets, i.e. whether the sum of points scored by both teams in the whole meeting or in a single set will turn out to be an even or odd number. Typing can also refer to the sum of host points, the sum of Guest points, the number of sets settled by additional points, and so on.

Volleyball live betting

When it comes to live betting, volleyball can be wagered using the same types of bets as when we play pre-match. Of course, bookmakers offer bets on the winner of the meeting, under/over bets, handicap bets, etc. You can also find event markets reserved only for the live offer, such as race to 5 points , in which it is about which team will score the indicated number of points first (this number is modified during the match, that is, at a later stage it can be, for example, a race to 10, 15 or 20 points).

Live volleyball betting certainly has its advantages. First of all, the betting odds change here very often and if any of the teams will gain an advantage of several points, the odds of winning a rival grow rapidly . In the event that the typer has a "nose" and will bet at this point that the losing team will make up for the loss, he can get a big win. Similarly, when one of the teams loses a set and the player decides to pick her victory-then the odds of this bet will be high, and as we know, in volleyball, often the team that loses the first 2 sets can win the whole meeting.

It is also worth knowing that online bookmakers provide players betting on live betting a lot of additional help, such as Live Scores, match-trackers and some even free match broadcasts . Volleyball betting in live mode can also be carried out on such betting platforms, on which you can simultaneously watch streaming from a given meeting, which allows an instant reaction of the player to events on the field.

Long-term bets on volleyball

In addition to the Classic pre-match and live betting, bookmakers also prepare long-term betting. They concern the most important volleyball events, such as the Olympic Games, the Champions League, the European Championship, the Plusliga, etc. Typing can be about which team will win the whole event or which teams will win individual medals. Such bets appear a few weeks or months before the start of the event, and the settlement of the bet must of course wait until its completion. Odds on such volleyball bets are attractive, but long-term betting is usually highly risky.

How to correctly type bets on volleyball? Tips

Without a proper sports analysis, it is difficult to effectively type the results of any match, but it is worth knowing what to pay special attention to in the case of the chosen discipline. Below we list those factors that definitely need to be analyzed if we are going to place hit bets on volleyball.

Composition of both teams

The outcome of the match will largely depend on whether the key players of the team will play in it. If the best players are injured if they do not participate in the match for other reasons, the chances of winning the team is definitely reduced. In addition, in a match they can intentionally exposed weaker players (for example, the stakes of the match are not high and better their „ save money for more important matches). Therefore, betting on volleyball should definitely be preceded by checking whether there are any significant absences that can decide the fate of the meeting.

Form of players and teams

Of course, it is very important not only which players will perform in the match, but also what their current form looks like. It matters on one side. disposal of individual volleyball players "it may be weaker because of recent injuries, a very intense season or even the long journey that the players had to travel immediately before the match. In addition, the condition in which it is the team as a whole . So before we bet on volleyball, we should also check what places in the table are occupied by both teams and what results they have recorded in recent matches.

History of meetings

It also happens that even if one of the teams is generally considered stronger and is higher in various rankings, it usually has a big problem when it comes to confronting a particular team (even with a much weaker position). Opponent's style of play it may simply not suit a given team, and then it is not worth being guided only by the overall results of the teams, but also take into account the history of the competition of these teams.

Match venue

Not only when it comes to betting on volleyball, it is obvious that the home team has a handicap in the form of doping their fans . The place where the match is played is especially important when the host is ousider – when they will help him even „ wall”, can unexpectedly beat the strong favorite of the meeting. Sam Hall it also matters, especially since some sports facilities have quite unique characteristics and it is not easy for athletes to suddenly adapt to them. This, in turn, can make it very difficult to play a good game, and above all, it can affect the quality of the play that is so important for the outcome of the match.

Another thing is that when it comes to big volleyball tournaments, teams sometimes have to cover thousands of kilometers and cross time zones several times, which affects the form of the players. Therefore, betting betting on volleyball, it is worth checking if one of the teams is not significantly a long way to go which could lower her chances of winning.

Tournament table and potential scenarios

Volleyball fans realize that it does not always pay to win the game. It is worth watching how the tournament table looks like and see if there will be time for a given team better to lose the next meeting , so that later in the event to play with (at least in theory) an easier opponent. If this is the case, the coach may, for example, put a second lineup, so as to reduce the chances of success of his team. Although such calculations do not seem to be in line with the spirit of the sport, it must be remembered that everyone wants to get the best possible place in the whole tournament in the first place.

Volleyball season stage

Another element that is worth paying attention to when it comes to betting on volleyball matches is what the current stage of the volleyball season is. The season for the national team begins in June, while for league competitions starts in the fall, and this is at the beginning of the season, most surprises happen. . Usually, coaches in the initial phase of league struggles give rest to the best players, because these leaders have just finished fighting in representative matches. A similar situation occurs at the beginning of the representative season. So when it comes to betting on volleyball in the first matches of the season, it is worth looking at how the supporting players present themselves and not charging with the stakes, because such matches are often unpredictable.

Another case is when it comes to matches from the pre-playoffs phase . Those teams that are guaranteed to play in the next stage of the competition can afford to lose, saving their strength for later. The coach can expose weaker players to such matches, therefore these bets on volleyball should also be placed very conservatively or simply let them go.

Volleyball betting – what events to type?

All the bookmakers who offer multi-sport betting certainly have volleyball betting on offer as well. Volleyball has a lot of fans in Poland, which is why it is also well represented on betting sites. The widest offer concerns the most prestigious tournaments (e.g. Champions League, World Cup, League of Nations), matches involving African National Team, African leagues (especially Plusliga) the best foreign leagues (e.g. Italian league, Russian league). Bookmakers also offer betting on less significant events and weaker leagues, although here the offer is, of course, much more modest.

As a rule, it is best to bet on volleyball on the most important tournaments, national team matches and the Plusliga, because in their case we have the easiest access to the information necessary to correctly type the results. The same is true when it comes to live volleyball betting and greater availability of match broadcasts is also important.

Volleyball betting-types and courses

The most popular volleyball betting sites are betting on the winner they are also often bet types by number of points (under/over). However, do not limit yourself to them – they are certainly worthy of attention handicaps especially the number of sets. Betting with a handicap is often advantageous if you have a clear favorite in a match, because you can bet on his win at a much higher rate. When the opponents are fairly even teams, it often pays to play type on the number of sets over 3.5 or even 4.5.

When it comes to live volleyball betting, an interesting option is to place bets on the favorite in a situation where he loses the first or even 2 sets. As we have already explained, then the odds of his victory grow strongly, and volleyball is a game in which the loser of even the first 2 sets can often win the whole match .
