BETTING ON NETBALL
Netball is a sport with a long history (over a century) which is played in many countries that host national and international competitions. With over 500 000 registered players all over the world and more than 20 million people who play this sport, netball is currently one of the major sports delivered in the betting offers of most online bookmakers.
Even if it's played in many countries, such as Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, Botswana, Canada, Ireland, Jamaica, Malaysia, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Tonga, Zambia, netball is most popular in Australia, New Zealand, England, South Africa and West Indies - which established the International Federation and which also had the greatest results in the World Championship tournaments. Australia has managed to win the most titles (10), including the most recent tournament from 2011 World Netball Championship from Singapore.
Apart from the World Netball Championships, there are many other well-known tournaments which manage to attract many netball fans and bettors worldwide. Probably one of the greatest is ANZ Championship from Australia and New Zealand which was launched in 2008. All major online bookmakers offer odds and betting markets for this ANZ Championship which is watched by all netball fans who want to see 10 teams (5 from Australia and 5 from New Zealand) playing at the greatest level.
When it comes to betting, especially online betting, all netball fans can choose from a wide variety of online bookmakers in order to bet on netball championships. Here are some bookmakers who offer you the possibility to place online bets on netball: Bet365, William Hill, Betfair, Paddy Power. Generally, you can place bets at most online bookmakers, but those mentioned above manage to cover most netball championships and provide a wider range of betting markets (including higher betting odds). You will be able to place bets on the winner of the match (mostly pre-match), handicaps, to win over overtime/shootout, winner of the championship.
Unfortunately, bookmakers do not provide special bonuses and promotions for this sport.
Overall, even if it doesn't have so many fans or so much audience as other major sports, netball is a really interesting sport.
