Handball Betting Odds

When it comes to handball, and sports betting in general, there are predominantly three different handball betting odds formats: fractional, decimal, and American odds.  For fractional odds, the number on the left side indicates how many times the bookie thinks the expected outcome will fail and the number on the right indicates how many times the outcome is expected to be successful. At Betiton, we use decimal handball betting odds. Decimal odds are easier to read and understand. Simply multiply your wager by the value of the odds.

Handball Betting Markets

  • Outright Betting: One of the most popular handball betting markets is outright betting. This type of bet involves backing the team that you believe will win the match.
  • Number of Goals: Bet on how many goals will be scored in a handball match. There are typically a lot of goals scored in a handball match which can make this sort of bet easy to predict. You don’t have to bet on a specific number, rather you must bet that the total number of goals will be between a particular range.
  • Odd/Even Final Points Total: This type of bet requires that you predict whether the total number of points scored at the end of a match will be an even or odd number. Although this handball betting market is a bit unusual, it is also a simple option for bettors.
  • Handicap Betting: Handicap betting gives one team (the underdog) an imaginary edge over the favourite. This betting market is quite interesting, but it is more beneficial for gambler with insights.
  • Tournament Winner Bets: Tournament winner is a long-term bet that involves betting on the outcome of a league or tournament. You can place bets on which team will win.

Types of Handball

Handball is more varied and exciting than most fans realise. As you may already know, they are different types of handball games from softball to hardball and 4-wall hand ball. These variations are more popular in Ireland than other parts of the world:

Softball

60×30 Softball, also known as Big Alley GAA handball, is a handball code traditional to Ireland. The game gets its name from the dimensions of the indoor court used for these matches. Softball tournaments and events typically take place in the summer months because the game was originally an outdoor sport. Since the ball used for softball tournaments is bigger and bouncier, players are not required to wear gloves or eye guards.

Hardball

Hardball is another type of handball that is original to the Irish. Like Softball, the game is played on a 60×30 indoor court. The main difference between Softball and Hardball is the type of ball used for these games. The ball used for GAA Hardball is small and hard, made from cork and leather. It is built to withstand the high speed, high impact nature of hardball matches. At Betiton, we offer exciting live handball betting odds on GAA hardball.

1-Wall (Wallball)

Players with interest in handball betting will enjoy wagering on 1-wall. 1-wall is arguably the fastest growing code of handball in in Ireland, thanks in part, to its simplicity. In these games, players hit a small rubber ball against a wall. The objective of the game is to score more points than the opponent. Players hit the ball against the wall, and it bounces from the wall to the floor within the court lines. If the opponent is unable to return the ball, the player is awarded a point.

4-Wall

4-wall is quite like 1-wall handball except it is more frantic. The sports are played with a small bouncy ball and padded gloves. You can either play singles or doubles. While 1-wall is predominantly an outdoor sport, 4-wall games are played in an enclosed 40×20, narrow space. The objective of the game is the same; accumulate more points than the opponent and you win. 4-wall handball betting offers exciting opportunities like outright and moneyline betting.
