Understanding Handball Betting

Handball Betting Basics

As with most sports, there are many ways to bet on handball with a wide range of markets available, but it is important to understand exactly what you are betting on and how to do it.

Betting on handball is not too dissimilar from the likes of football or rugby. As a game of two teams and two halves, you can place bets on either half or go for a full-time score. You can also bet on over/under the amount of goals to be scored in a game.

Factors to Consider in Handball Betting

Such is the case in many sports, there are lots of factors to consider before placing a bet on the 2023 World Women’s handball Championship.

These factors include a team’s form in the competition, injuries and/or suspension, and the quality of the opposition. Odds will often dictate which team is most likely to win the match, but it is important to remember that the favourite is not always guaranteed to win, so value can be found in betting on underdogs.

Analysing Odds

Betting on the 2023 World Women’s handball Championship will require to know how odds work. The most common format is fractional odds e.g. 5/1, 7/4, etc. Simply put, staking the number on the right will win you the number on the left, plus your stake.

Strategies for Successful Betting

Women’s handball is a unique sport in that it is extremely end-to-end. There are lots of goals scored and therefore one effective strategy may be betting on the number of goals.

You could look back at the number of goals scored in matches involving the team you wish to bet on, and from that information make an informed decision on whether to bet over or under the line, which is decided by the bookmaker.

Popular Bet Types for IHF World Women’s Handball Championship

Match Winner

One of the most common types of sports betting is the outright result market, and it is equally as popular in women’s handball. This simply involves betting on which team you think is going to win a specific match.

It is important to consider the odds, which suggest which team is more likely to win. You should also take into account injuries, suspensions and head-to-head from which will further inform your bet.

Over/Under Betting

Over/under betting works the same in women’s handball as it does in many other sports. The bookmaker decides a ‘goal line’ and you decide whether to bet on there being more, or fewer goals in the match than the set line.

Women’s handball is a notoriously high scoring sport. For example, if the bookmaker were to set the line at 10.5 goals, you would almost always bet over as teams score on average between 20 and 35 points each per game.

Handicap Betting

Handicap betting is similar to betting on the match winner, just with the added factor of a handicap. This involves a team being given theoretical points by the bookmaker before the game has started. Usually the underdog will be given points whilst the favourite will be deducted points, or handicapped.

For example, if you feel that the underdog will not necessarily win the match, but will keep the scoreline close, you may choose to bet on them to win with a +8 point handicap. Then, if they were still to lose the match but by a margin fewer than eight goals, your selection would be successful.
