Popular Volleyball Betting Tournaments
Volleyball attracts fans and players in every region. As such, many countries have a national volleyball team. Volleyball tournaments can either be international or local. According to how tournaments are structured, qualifying countries' teams compete in qualifier rounds to get to the group stages. Then, the teams battle it out stage by stage until the finals. NordicBet provides volleyball betting odds on four major volleyball tournaments. These include:
FIVB World Cup
Volleyball players can participate in the FIVB World Cup one year before the crowning of the Olympic champions. Originally, the tournament only attracted male teams, but things have since changed with volleyball's rising popularity worldwide. In 1973, the organisers created space for women's volleyball teams for the first time, and things have stayed the same to date.
FIVB World Championship
The FIVB World Championship started in 1949.International men's and women's teams can participate every four years, filling the long gap between the other tournaments. Based on statistics, Russia stands out as the country that has won the most FIVB World Championship medals in volleyball.
NORCECA Championship
Organised by the North, Central America, and Caribbean Volleyball Confederation, this tournament is reserved for men's and women's teams from America and neighbouring regions. The first-ever tournament took place in Mexico City in 1969 and was an instant hit. Over the years, the tournament has grown to include beach volleyball and competitions in junior volleyball games.
Popular Volleyball Betting Markets
Betting on volleyball involves predicting the outcomes of various situations. Each outcome has aggregated odds that point to how much the bet will win if the results correlate with a particular outcome. Popular volleyball betting options:
Winning Team
'Winning Team' bets on volleyball predict the outright winner in a match. Unlike football match betting, volleyball matches must end with a winning and losing team. Therefore, there is no provision for a draw. Volleyball odds for each team are shown below the team's name.
Set Betting
Bets are placed on which team wins specific sets in a match. Normally, the winning team in volleyball has to win three out of five sets. Placing bets on specific sets improves the chances of winning volleyball bets if bettors know a team's strengths and weaknesses.
Handicaps
These are bets in which punters decide on a perceived negative or positive advantage for each team based on a number of factors. 'Handicap' bets on volleyball can be placed on sets or points scored by competing teams.
Points
These are bets based on the number of points scored by a particular team in a volleyball match. The threshold of points betting in volleyball differs for each match at Nordicbet, with the bet format being whether a team scores points above or below the set threshold.
