The Different Types of Volleyball Bets Available

Volleyball Match Betting – This is the simplest type of volleyball bet available because you only need to bet on the team you expect to win the game.  In order to create these odds, the sportbook establishes which team is the favorite and offers lower odds for them. Thus, if you bet on them you will make less money.

Volleyball Handicap Betting – This is when the sportsbook assigns a + or – handicap to final score of each team.  Thus, each team is given or taken points to even up the match.  This type of betting usually gives you even odds minus the commission.  Thus, if the sportsbook takes a 10% commission, then you would bet $100 to win $90.

 Volleyball Betting Accumulators – This is also known as a parlay and is where you bet on the outcome of 2 or more matches. In order to win your bet, you must correctly win each of your bets.  Even though this type of bet is more difficult to win, the rewards for winning such a bet are much larger.

Total Betting – According to sportsbook pay per head companies, this is when you bet on the final score of the match. Thus, the bettor will be on whether the final score will go over or under the total.

Total Sets Betting – This is when you bet on whether the number of sets in a match will be above or below the prediction of the bookmaker.  This allows the bettor to bet on how close a match will be instead of who will win.
