Bets on handball – practical guide for the fans of sports and betting

Handball confidently occupies its niche among sports betting fans, although it cannot boast the same popularity as football or basketball. With the development of the betting market, interest in this sport is growing, and GGBET bookmaker offers an increasingly wide line of bets.

What is handball and what its features are

Handball combines the elements of football and basketball: teams of 7 people (including the goalkeeper) strive to throw the ball into the opponent's goal. The match consists of two halves of 30 minutes, and the break between them lasts 15 minutes.

Key rules of the game:

1. A player may hold the ball for no more than 3 seconds and take no more than 3 steps without dribbling.
2. Contact with an opponent while dribbling the ball is prohibited; penalty shots (from 7 or 9 meters) are awarded for violations.
3. Passive play is prohibited and if a team intentionally wastes time, the referee may pass the ball to the opponent.
4. Substitutions are unlimited and happen during the match.
5. Draws are allowed in national championships, but in the playoffs, overtime and a penalty shootout are appointed if the score is tied.

Handball matches are characterized by high dynamics, an abundance of goals and unlimited substitutions, which opens up wide opportunities for betting, including totals and handicaps. However, unlike some other sports, draws in handball are rare, and in the playoffs, if the score is tied, additional periods and a penalty shootout are appointed. Therefore, before making handball bets at GGBET, it is important to carefully study the tournament regulations in order not to miss key details that can affect the outcome of the game.

4. Total is a bet on the total number of goals in a match (more or less than a certain value). Given the high scoring nature of handball, totals are usually high.
5. Spread is similar to handicap, but can be both positive and negative, determining the difference with which a team must win or not lose.
6. Half/match is a bet on the outcome of the first or second half, or on a combination of the outcomes of the halves and the entire match. Suitable for those who analyze the statistics of individual halves.
7. Goal difference is a forecast for the exact goal difference in a match. Complex but potentially profitable market.

Tips for new GGBET users

The principle of betting on handball is in many ways similar to other sports: analyzing statistics, choosing events and confirming the bet. However, handball has its own nuances that must be taken into account for successful betting.

Despite its apparent simplicity, handball requires taking into account key factors. The outcome of the match depends on the team's style of gameplay, which can change during the match. Therefore, before making a bet, it is important to study the team's statistics, their form, the results of recent meetings and personal confrontations.

The bookmaker's margin in handball matches is often higher than in other sports. The probability of an underdog winning in handball is lower than in hockey, football, volleyball or boxing, since the outcome of the match depends on many goals scored, not on one random goal.
