BETTING ON VOLLEYBALL
Volleyball is a sport which has its origins in the United States, Massachusetts, 1895, where an education director combined elements of tennis and handball to create a game, "Mintonette", which was the precursor to the game we know today. Here are volleyball betting possibilities and online bookmakers who accept bets on this sports.
Even if volleyball has origins in the United States, the sport didn't enjoy a huge popularity in the US (except for beach volleyball), but managed to reach Europe and become one of the most important and played sports.
Nowadays, most online bookmakers deliver a betting offer which covers the most important competitions, such as FIVB Volleyball Men's World Grand Champions Cup, FIVB Women's World Grant Champions Cup, European Women and Men Volleyball Championships.
Unfortunately, the overall pre-match betting offer for volleyball apparently fails to reach the betting offers available for other similar sports, such as tennis, basketball or handball, but there are some online bookmakers where you can find a wide variety of volleyball events: Bet365, Vbet, Marathonbet and Paddy Power. Apart from the top events, you can find volleyball events from most championships, such as Argentina, Austria, Brazil, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Romania, Serbia, Turkey, Ukraine etc.
Bettors who are more into pre-match betting won't find too many volleyball markets (except for match results and match handicap), but the LIVE volleyball events from bookies like Bet365 and Marathonbet can deliver a big variety of markets, such as:
o Match winner;
o Match handicap - sets;
o Set winner (first, second, third, fourth and fifth set winner);
o Point winner
o Race to a certain number of points (10, 15, 20);
o Set Extra Points;
o Odd/Even for set or match;
o Handicap for match or set;
o Correct score for match or set;
o Score after 2 or 3 sets;
o Total match;
o Total team;
Unfortunately, for volleyball you won't find promotions, money back specials or bonuses, like there are for more popular sports (football, American football, basketball) - but this shouldn't stop you from placing bets on volleyball, enjoy watching this sport and discover great strategies in order to increase your winnings.
