An Introduction to Betting on Netball

Fast-paced sports attract bettors in large numbers. Netball betting is an exciting way to diversify your wagers – let’s find out how you can maximize this.

Netball is played like basketball, with a few rules being in how goals are scored. The game is played between two teams with seven players each. The goal is to score as many goals as possible to win a game.

Players have different positions and are assigned various roles, mainly attacking and defending. A match can last 15 minutes of two halves or four quarters based on the professional level. Obstructions, wrong ball passes, and crossing positions you are not supposed to are punishable.

There are various local netball competitions, with some, like the Netball World Cup, being a prestigious global event to bet on. Bettors can also wager on different netball tournaments, including the Commonwealth Games, the Netball Quad Series, and the Fast5 Netball World Series.

When betting on netball, you can predict who will win a match. Other bets can be about particular outcomes in a match, such as goalscorers, players to be fouled, and total goals. The GGBet platform provides various netball tournaments that you can bet on – let’s find out how that works.

Betting on Netball: Odds and Bet Types

Like any other sport, successful betting is determined by how well you understand the odds and the choice of bet types. Ideally, netball odds represent the implied probability based on different factors, while the bet types refer to the possible outcomes in a given netball match.

As for the odds, they can be denoted in decimals, American, and fractional formats. Assessing all these determines the possible payout on a bet that wins (multiplied by your stake).

When it comes to netball bet types, it is important to know the possibilities that could happen in a match and then determine how to bet. Here are the common netball betting markets.

• Bet on the money line option. This bet is straightforward and revolves around who you think will win a netball game. The number of goals doesn’t matter, provided you determine who wins the match. A money line bet is also referred to as a match-winner. You can also bet on a draw if you cannot determine the team that will win a game.
• You can bet on the total goals or points based on what the oddsmaker thinks will happen. In netball totals betting, you determine if the given criterion will be more (over) or under (lower) the set value.
• The other netball bet you can capitalize on is handicaps or spreads. The oddsmaker assigns the strongest netball team lower odds while giving an edge to the weaker opponent. The favorite team must cover the spread by the given criterion for this bet to win.
• You can also bet on the number of goals. For example, the race to achieve particular goals (value assigned based on how strong the teams are).
• Other bet variations can be about props based on individual quarters, half-time, or full-time betting. The bet could be about goals, points, fouls, or goal scorers.
• You can also bet on individual team and player performances. For example, the first team or player to score or players to be penalized.
• Finally, you can also bet on a netball match while in progress. This option is found under the netball live bets category. The beauty about it is that you bet based on the match-related occurrences while in action.
