Volleyball betting: subtleties and strategies

Volleyball is appreciated by fans for its impressive dynamism: even spectators find it difficult to keep track of the rapid movements of the ball, and the defending team's players also have to successfully defend themselves. And although volleyball is rarely mentioned in the list of the most popular sports, it has its own loyal audience that is not ready to trade their preferences for any alternatives. 22Bet wants to offer users the perfect service, which is why you can choose from 150-200 scheduled matches at any time.

How volleyball differs for betting

Volleyball is characterised by very high dynamics: the score changes about as often as in tennis or basketball, and the situation can quickly turn upside down, with a high probability of local success for the underdog in the form of a single set won. This is often relied upon by 22Bet customers: they often place bets in live mode, trying to catch the change in trends. Particularly experienced players leave such predictions pre-match, finding constant patterns in the teams’ play in the form of temporary slumps in form and improvements at certain moments of the match.

When betting on volleyball, it is essential to take into account the nuances, and above all, today’s line-up. Good reception is extremely important, but even more important is successful serving: a team that has one or even several serving specialists is likely to succeed.

Popular types of bets

As in any other sport, the most popular volleyball bet is on the outcome, i.e. predicting which team will win. At the same time, 22Bet customers often bet on the winner of a single set, understanding that the favourite will win the match anyway, but in this particular set, they may relax, while the underdog will push harder. It is also possible to predict the total number of points in a set - more or less than a specific number; in essence, this is an indicator of fierce competition or lack thereof. A similar principle applies to team handicap bets, although here it refers to the number of sets rather than points.

Tips for successful betting

The right approach to volleyball betting means you’re really into it – you follow the news, know how the teams are doing, understand their strengths and weaknesses, and can predict the line-up. The statistics provided by our portal will be very useful in the context of finding patterns: for example, one team takes a long time to get going but is ready to kick into gear in the second or third set, while another team always bets on attacking play and a quick victory, and when the game isn’t going their way, they tend to quickly “deflate”. To anticipate such nuances, it is important to pay attention not only to the results of the games, but also to the results of individual sets. Motivation in a particular match also plays an important role in volleyball: the favourite may conserve energy when they have nothing to gain from a tournament perspective, and vice versa, when the team has serious tournament goals, their motivation may be off the charts.
