Volleyball Bet Types and Betting Options
One of your first tasks when betting on volleyball is understanding the different markets and options available. Specifically, some of the volleyball bets that you can place at Stake.com include the following:
Winner
The easiest way to bet on volleyball is to pick the winner of a particular match. You don’t need to worry about the margin of victory or which team scores the points – your only concern is which team leaves the court victorious; if you pick correctly, you will win your outright bet .
Sets
In volleyball, matches are played best of five sets, with the first four sets are played to 25 points and the final set to 15 points. To win a set, a team must win by two clear points. As such, many volleyball betting options relate to the sets in a fixture, enabling you to break your betting slip down and place bets on outcomes within each set.
Set handicap
When one team is the clear favourite to win a volleyball fixture, you might wish to consider a set handicap bet . This is where the heavy favourite is given a handicap they need to overcome, which essentially levels the playing field.
Due to the handicap, you receive better odds than if you were to bet on the team in a standard head-to-head bet.
Points
Volleyball matches are typically high-scoring affairs, and the fact that a team needs to win by two clear points means that matches can often exceed expectations. As a result, you can bet on the number of points you think will be scored in a set (or, indeed, a whole match).
Stake.com sets a totals line, and your job is to predict whether over or under this number of points will be scored.
Point handicap
As with a set handicap in volleyball betting, you can also place a point handicap bet on volleyball games. This is where one team starts with a specific number of points less than their opponents, and for your bet to be successful, they will need to overcome the point handicap to win the game.

Volleyball Betting Tips and Strategies for Successful Bets
Volleyball is a fast-paced, high-scoring game, so it’s little surprise that it’s so popular with sports fans at Stake.com. As you can see, there are many ways to bet on volleyball, but how do you give yourself the best chance of winning? Here are some top volleyball betting tips to bear in mind as you make your selections:
Refer to the World Rankings
Use the published World Rankings from FIVB (the world volleyball governing body) as a starting point when considering which teams to bet on. You can find details of the highest-ranked clubs and nations for the 2024 season, helping you to pick teams that are playing well.
Understand the Rules
Though volleyball is a fairly simple game to grasp, there are specific rules that you need to be aware of that may affect your betting strategy. You can watch some games at Stake.com and read up on the associated rules of volleyball if you’re a newcomer to the game before placing a bet
Check the Roster
As volleyball is a team game, the players' injuries and form determine how well the team performs. If a key player – such as the libero or the main attacker – falls with a knee injury in a previous game, it will significantly affect the team’s chances of success. So, always check the team’s roster and double-check for any injuries before making your selections.
Consider the Hall
An often-overlooked factor influencing volleyball results is the hall in which the game is played. Things like ceiling height, light distribution, and even the distance of the audience from the court can affect a volleyball team. Home advantage is super important, so consider how a team typically fares on its travels before placing your bets.
