Volleyball betting features
Learn the features of betting on volleyball before choosing bets.
- There can be no draw in a volleyball match. In a match of outsiders against favorites, the odds for winning can sometimes be put on a stronger team only with a minus handicap.
- Rules may differ for different tournaments. For example, not all competitions have technical breaks when the leading team scores 8 and 16 points. There are differences in the rules for viewing video replays. This also affects the result.
- In women's volleyball, favorites lose more often than in men's. For example, Dynamo Moscow became the champion of Russia in the 2018/2019 season. In the next championship, this team was a clear favorite in the first rounds. But first she was beaten by Proton, and then by Uralochka-NTMK. Played coefficients 15.00 and 4.10. During the season, Dynamo had six defeats in 16 matches of the Superleague regular season.
How to bet on volleyball: analysis
Make volleyball predictions for tournament matches with a lot of information. For example, statistics on teams and individual players can be found on the participants of the Champions League, Russian and Italian championships.
When choosing minor leagues, you run the risk of getting only scraps of information or erroneous data. This will increase the likelihood of a wrong decision.
When betting on volleyball, pay attention to:
- disqualifications and injuries of players in the compositions of both teams,
- tournament motivation of opponents,
- home court factor,
- results of the previous 5-10 games of each team,
- the history of the last five personal meetings.
Types of bets on volleyball
This sport is represented in the lines of bookmakers with a fairly wide range of events.
You can bet on the total - the number of points. The total can be general or individual, for the entire match or for a separate set.
Bet on even/odd. In matches of even teams, bets on even in a set are accepted with lower odds than bets on odd.
The fact is that the game ends if the team has an advantage of at least two points. In a stubborn struggle, when one of the teams needed more than 25 points to win, the total in the game will be even in any case. For example, 26:24, 27:25 and so on.
You can bet even during the match. For example, with a score of 20:20, you can bet on an even number of points in the game. If both teams score 23 points, the bet is over.
Bets on the handicap in the entire match or in one of the sets. For example, with a clear favorite and an outsider, you can take a minus handicap, expecting the success of a stronger team with a certain difference in the score.
A bet on a set, which is chosen because of the higher odds compared to betting on the entire match. For example, you can bet on a team's victory in the second set with a coefficient of 1.55, and on a victory in the entire match for 1.40.
Betting on the victory of one of the teams in volleyball is not popular among players. Most often they take a total and a handicap.

Volleyball betting strategies
No volleyball betting strategy guarantees no losses. But some of them can bring profit at a distance with proper use.
Mazharov's strategy
In live, bet on the total under points in the game with a tie starting from 23:23. With such a score, take the total under 48.5. To win one of the teams must score two points in a row.
In case of failure at 24:24, bet on the total under 50.5. The odds will be from 2.00, so it is enough to double the amount of the bet. Sooner or later the set will end. The danger is that with several losses in a row, the money may run out.
Game against 3:0
This strategy is more suitable for women's volleyball, in which the favorites are more likely to face difficulties in matches against underdogs. In the bookmaker's line, choose a match where the odds of about 2.00 or higher are given for the victory of a weaker team in one of the sets. Take a total set over 3.5 or a handicap (+2.5) for an outsider to win in sets.
Bet against the favorite
This strategy is similar to the previous one, but here it is proposed to bet exclusively on the outsider's victory in the set. Bet on the weaker team first in the first game. If unsuccessful, bet on the underdog to win in the second set.
In case of another loss, we bet on the victory of the underdog in the third game. To play according to this strategy, choose events with odds above 4.00. When one bet out of four enters, there will be a plus. But there is a risk of falling into a long black streak. It is not uncommon for favorites to win 3-0 in sets, especially in men's volleyball.
Total betting strategy
According to statistics, in 90% of matches in women's volleyball, no more than 45 points are scored in at least one set. According to the strategy, you bet on the total under 45.5 in a catch-up set in real time.
That is, you take TM 45.5 in the first batch. If the bet is lost, bet on TM 45.5 in the second set. Repeat bets until you win. If there is no call for the entire match, go to the next match.
Calculate the amount of each next bet using the formula:
Bet amount = (first bet amount + loss amount) / (odds - 1).
Shchukin's strategy in live
Bet on the victory of the team that scored 24 points in a set, if its opponent has no more than 22 points. The coefficient at such a rate will be minimal, usually not higher than 1.15. But in most cases, such bets are won.
