What Are the Best Odds to Bet on Handball?

To understand how best to bet on handball, it is important to get to grips with how handball betting odds work and which bets function best with handball’s style of play. When looking for the top handball odds, you want to think about how best to get value from your bet.

In general, the most popular type of handball bets is 1X2 bets. 1X2 bets are simple and involve betting on one or other team to win, or for a draw.

To get the greatest value from your bet, you need to find bets that are likely to pay out and return a decent profit. While there are some “sure” favourites, these bets often have low odds. This is because low odds mean a high likelihood of winning, so the payout is low. The converse is true for severe underdogs — high risk means high odds and high returns, but of course, you’re far more likely to lose the bet.

Take this 1X2 bet between Ska Minsk and Bgufk Ska, for example.

As you can see, Ska Minsk is the clear favourite with low odds of 1.05. To work out the likelihood of the team winning, you divide 100 by the 1.05 odds, giving 95% chance of Ska Minsk winning the match. On the other hand, Bgufk Ska only has an 8% chance of winning.

It is vital to note that the total percentages of the implied probability of the outcomes in the matches will total over 100%. This is not a mistake. The percentage over 100% is known as the handball bookmaker’s over-round, and is the profit that the bookmaker takes. That said, it doesn’t skew the teams’ chances.

As there is such a high probability of Ska Minsk winning, payouts on this win are low. Using the odds, you can work out your potential profit by multiplying the odds by your stake and then minusing the original stake. If you placed a 10,000 TZS bet on Ska Minsk to win and the team turned out to be victorious, you would get paid 10,500 TZS, giving you a tiny profit of 500 TZS.

As this example shows, while the bet is likely to pay off, you wouldn’t get great value from the bet as the winnings are low.

Alternatively, consider bets where there isn’t such a discrepancy between the underdog and the favourite as the odds will be higher for the favourite. This means you can still bet on the most likely winner but the potential returns would be greater. Take this handball match between Kronon Grodno and Masheka Mogilev, for example.

While Masheka Mogilev is still clearly the favourite, as the odds are lower, these odds are still superior to the previous example. The chances of Masheka Mogilev winning are still around 62%, which demonstrates a fair chance of winning. However, in this case, if you bet 10,000 TZS and you bet paid off, you would receive 16,200 TZS, giving you a profit of 6,200 TZS.

What Other Types of Handball Bets Are Available on Parimatch?

As the number one handball betting platform in Tanzania, Parimatch has a broad range of handball betting opportunities available online. Apart from the 1x2 bets described above, you can find the following handball betting markets on Parimatch.

Double Chance

Double chance bets do what they say on the tin — they give you double the chance of winning. This is because you bet that the final result will either be Team A win or a draw, Team B win or a draw, or Team A or B win.

Handicap

Handicap is a very popular style of wagering in handball. This is a way to level the playing field if you have two very unmatched teams. With a handicap, a certain number of goals are deducted from the favourite team’s final score or added to the underdog team’s score. The idea is that your predicted winner must be correct taking into account the match handicap.

Total

In totals betting, you bet on whether the total final score of both teams is higher or lower than score laid down by the bookmaker.

Odd/Even

A simple bet, perfect for the beginners, odd/even betting is down to chance. You bet on whether the final total score of both teams in the handball match will add to an even number or an odd number.
