Handball is a fast and exciting semi-contact sport played by two teams of seven, usually in indoor courts. The aim is to move the ball around and score in the opposition net, (much like football) over two halves of thirty minutes. However unlike football, over 20 goals are usually scored and it is not uncommon to see extremely high scores in the region of 34-31. Additionally, fouls are encouraged in defence in order to disrupt attackers and players will not be sent off for fouls unless they are deemed to be extremely dangerous, usually when defenders come from the side or from behind. Handball is no longer a niche sport. It is regulated by the International Handball Federation, has its own World Championships every two years and is played by up to 19 million players worldwide. As such, it is now bet on by a large number of people too.

Betting on handball can be very exciting as there are often odds available for many different bets. For example, betters are sometimes invited to predict the result (win/lose), the final score, the winning margin, the highest scoring half, the game's total score (both teams), the total individual team scores and much more. Of course most betters keep it simple and bet the classic way. Betting offers is ideal for this purpose, checking the Internet for you for the best odds on a home win, away win and tie.
