How Does Handball Betting Work?

Handball is a fast-paced and thrilling sport to watch, often described as a combination of netball and basketball. It’s a physically demanding indoor sport played between two teams of seven players. The game has several unique rules, but the aim is to score goals by throwing the ball into the opponent’s net.

Betting on handball leagues and competitions is a common pastime among handball fans. It refers to placing a bet on a specific outcome or a combination of outcomes for a single match or tournament. Most online bookies offer multiple handball sports betting markets, which we’ll explore later in this guide.

The Baltic League Women’s Handball tournament is one of the most competitive events in handball, contested by the most skilled female players in the Baltic region. Teams from Finland, Estonia, Lithuania, and other Baltic countries compete in this intense tournament for the prestigious title in a round-robin format.

Each team competes in a series of matches before moving on to the knockout stages. The tournament lasts several weeks and ends with the final match to determine the winners of the coveted title. This year, the finals took place on April 14.

World Championship

The IHF World Men’s Handball Championship is one of the longest-running handball tournaments. It was founded by the International Handball Federation (IHF) 86 years ago in 1938. So far, 12 tournaments have been held, and France has always been the most successful, with six wins. Sweden and Romania are the second-most successful, with four wins each.

The IHF World Championship is held every two years. Its format includes a preliminary round followed by the knockout stage and then the final game. 12 teams compete in the Men’s World Championships, while the Women’s tournament has 24 teams.

European Championship

The EHF European Men’s Handball Championship is another bi-annual tournament in handball. Organised by the European Handball Federation (EHF), this competition is contested by the best 24 teams in European handball. It’s been held every two years since 1994 and serves as the qualifying tournament for the teams who make it to the Olympic Games and the World Championships.

The format consists of a preliminary round where the 24 teams compete in six groups. The top two teams from each group move to the main round, while the top two from the main stage compete in the semi-finals. Sweden has won the most titles with five wins.

Olympic Games

Handball has been an official part of the Summer Olympics since 1936. The women’s handball competition was also included in the Olympics in 1976. The Olympics are held every four years, and 12 men’s and women’s teams compete in every event.

Both teams must qualify for the Olympic Games through the EHF European Handball Championships. The upcoming 2024 Summer Olympics, which will take place in Paris, will feature 12 teams and 168 players in the men’s competition.

Betiton UK Handball Betting Markets

Many online handball betting markets exist at Betiton UK and other handball betting websites. If you’re familiar with basketball betting, you might find that many are similar. Like any sport, most punters start by trying to predict the winner of a match or tournament, but you might also want to consider the below markets.

Match Winner Betting

Match winner betting is a type of outright bet, the simplest form of all sports bets. It refers to betting on which team you think will win a handball match.

Betting on the match or tournament winner is typically one of the safest bets compared to other markets, especially if you bet on the favourite. For this reason, the payout is usually rather low because there’s a higher chance of winning.

Totals Betting

An interesting betting market you might want to consider the next time you want to try your hand at betting on handball is betting on the total number of goals scored. Handball is a high-scoring sport with an average of at least 50 goals scored per game, so it can be fun guessing what the final score will be.

Instead of betting on the exact score, you can also bet on whether the total number of points during game play will be less or more than a specified number. This is known as over/under betting, in which the bookmaker determines the number of goals. This bet offers better odds of winning because you don’t need to predict the precise score to win it.

First Half Betting

Most bets are settled at the end of the game, which means you have to wait until the end to be certain your bet won (or lost). However, you can also bet on the results of the first half only, which means you get quicker results and possibly better odds, too.

First-half betting can be a bet on the score in the first half, the first team to score a point, or which side will win the first half. It’s similar to regular full-time score betting, but your predictions only apply to the first 30 minutes of the game.

Accumulator Betting (ACCAs)

Accumulator betting, more commonly known as ACCA bets, is a type of handball betting that combines several markets on the same betslips. The odds for each bet are then multiplied, giving you much higher combined odds than you would get if you placed each selection as an individual bet.

What’s important to understand about ACCA betting is that you must win each selection to win the bet. If just one selection loses, the whole bet will be lost. Additionally, rules apply that don’t allow you to combine some selections. For example, you can’t bet on both teams to win in the same ACCA.

How Do Handball Betting Odds Work?

Online bookmakers use handball betting odds to indicate the probability of an outcome. For example, the probability of Paris SG winning can be expressed as odds of 2.10. Handball betting sites may use different odds formats, including decimal, fractional, or American style.

The odds on different online sportsbooks may vary slightly, although the predictions for the favourites and the least likely to win are usually the same. Nevertheless, although the odds differences may be minor, we’re proud to offer some of the best handball betting odds at Betiton UK. Remember, a small difference can be significant in the payout (if the bet wins), so it’s important to shop around for the best odds.

As one of the best handball online betting sites in Ireland, we’re proud to offer highly competitive odds for handball betting. Our platform uses the decimal format as the default, but you can easily change it if you prefer a different one. Open the dropdown menu at the top-right corner and choose your preferred format to customise your sports betting experience.
