Volleyball Betting - the BestBookmakers for Volleyball in the US

The Most Common Volleyball Bets

Money Line

Just like inother sports, the Money Line in volleyball means that you have to choose who will win the game.

Handicap

Handicap bets are offered when a team is deemed to be much more popular than the opponent’s team. To equalize the playing field, bookmakers provide a handicap on the number of winning margin sets. For example, if the betting team has a handicap of -2.5, the bet will only be successful if the team wins the straight set. Supporting a +2.5 on the opponent team can win the bet if the team loses the match and still takes the set.

Total Sets

Total betting means that you have to predict whether the number of sets in a volleyball game is above or below the number provided by the bookmaker (for example, 3.5). This allows you to bet on the expected number of sets, rather than on which team wins, giving you some flexibility.

Tips for Betting on Volleyball

Volleyball games are very organized, with very few mistakes. Before betting, consider the following tips:

Team Unity: The most important factor. Personality is less pronounced in volleyball than in other sports. The absence of key players makes the game different than games like soccer, or hockey. Therefore, in volleyball betting, you have to research how well the team plays together.

Rankings: As in all sports, ranking is always the best indicator of a team’s level. Rankings best represent the status of the team.

Game Location: Like basketball and handball, volleyball games are held in indoor arenas. It is perfect for home games. The team spirit atmosphere in the hall can itself alter the balance of the game.

Calendar: In volleyball, as in many other sports, coaches may substitute the best players in their teams depending on the games coming. Therefore, it is important to know each team’s calendar and to see if a particular player has plans to play in future games or tournaments.

Motivation: Finally, you need to see if the match in question is important in the title race. You may get the best performance from your team in a final game or in a game where they need to win to proceed.
