How Does Online Handball Betting Work? 

Betting on handball refers to placing a bet on a specific outcome in a game or competition. Handball betting should be based on several factors, including your prediction for that outcome, your understanding of handball odds and their meaning, and your knowledge of the game.

Betting on handball successfully requires knowledge and experience, but it’s also a matter of chance. Like any sport, it’s impossible to predict the result every time, and there are always surprises in a game. So, before you delve into handball betting, remember the risks involved and keep your expectations realistic.

Betiton Canada Handball Betting Tips

While the outcome of a handball game is always uncertain, there are a few handball tips for betting you can use to make better betting decisions and develop an informed betting strategy. Here are our top betting tips for handball:

• Try to find the best odds – Remember that odds may vary from one sportsbook to another. You’ll want to find the best odds to get the best bet value.
• Follow expert tipsters and read their predictions – Reliable tipsters spend countless hours analysing past game performances and have a wealth of game knowledge, so they often make better predictions than the average bettor. It doesn’t mean their predictions are always accurate, but it’s worth reading them before placing your bets.
• Aim for smaller profits with safer bets – Sometimes, it’s better to take the small wins and play it safe. High-paying bets are tempting because everyone wants to win big, but they come with a huge risk.
• Ensure you understand the format of handball games and competitions – You shouldn’t bet on handball or any other sport if you don’t understand the game rules and format. Moreover, remember that the format may vary between major handball tournaments and competitions.
• Understand how team and player form influence performance – A recent injury or missing player in a team can drastically influence the whole team’s performance. Stay updated with the latest news and updates to make more informed betting decisions.
• Know how to manage your bankroll properly – Good bankroll management can help you prevent major losses. Avoid impulse betting, and remember to stick to your strategy even if you get a good streak. Never bet with money you can’t afford to lose.
• Avoid betting with your emotions – Handball betting isn’t about supporting your favourite team. Your bets should always be based on the odds rather than the team you wish to see win.

What Is Handball?

Handball is a team sport also known as team handball or European handball. The origins of handball can be traced back to ancient Greece and Rome, but the modern version played today was officially created in Germany in 1917.

The game is played between two teams, each with six players and one goalkeeper. A goal post is placed in the middle of either end of the court, and the aim is to throw the ball into the opponent’s net to score a goal. The team with the most goals scored at the end of the game wins. A standard handball game is played over two periods, each lasting 30 minutes.

Handball Rules Explained

Players must follow several rules to play handball on a competitive level. The International Handball Federation dictates the official handball rules; the latest version was published in 2015. If you want to try betting on handball, it’s important to be familiar with the following handball rules:

• Players can pass, shoot, or maintain possession when receiving the ball.
• Players can only touch the ball with their hands. Only the goalkeeper is allowed to touch it with their feet and within the goal area.
• If the player keeps the ball in their possession, they must dribble until they shoot. They can only take up to three steps (and a maximum of three seconds) without dribbling it.
• Players aren’t allowed to touch the floor of the goal area. Only the defending goalkeeper is allowed to do this.
• The goalkeeper can go outside of the goal area but can’t cross the boundary if they’re holding the ball.
• If the goalkeeper is positioned in the goal area, players can’t pass the ball back to them.
• Each goal is worth one point.
• Players aren’t allowed to take the ball with one or both hands from their opponent. They may only use the flat part of their hand to knock it away from the other player.

What Handball Types Are There?

Handball is generally played indoors between two teams with nine players, but variations of the standard game also exist. The most well-known handball types in Canada and the US are softball and hardball/baseball, but there are also 1-wall and 4-wall handball, which we’ve described briefly below.

Softball

Softball is similar to baseball (described below) and is always played outdoors. Like handball, it’s also played competitively on several levels. There are two types of softball: slow-pitch and fast-pitch softball.

The objective of softball is to hit the ball across the field before the other player has a chance to run through all four bases. Like baseball, it’s played between two teams of nine players. The side with the highest number of points wins.

Hardball

Hardball refers to the game of baseball, a very popular sport in the United States. There are major differences between hardball (or baseball) and handball because players use a bat to hit the ball rather than throwing it by hand.

Baseball is played between two nine-player teams who take turns batting and fielding. The objective of the game is for the batting team to hit the ball into the field while their players run the bases.

1-Wall (Wallball)

One-wall handball is a different version in which players hit a rubber ball against a wall rather than throwing it between them and attempting to score goals. The goal is still to score more points than the opposing team, but it’s a more indirect style of play without a goal net.

In this type of handball, a player hits the ball, and it bounces off the wall and onto the court. The opponent is meant to return the ball by hitting it back. If they fail to return it, the other team gets a point. One-wall handball can be played indoors or outdoors.

4-Wall

4-wall handball is an American version of the game played with just two to four players. Four-wall handball was created around the early 1900s in New York. Naturally, this type of handball is played indoors. A closed court with a rectangular shape is used to play it.
