A Volleyball match is usually played as the best of five sets (games), with the first team to win three sets the winner of the overall match.
In indoor Volleyball, a team wins a set when they reach 25 points, if they have at least two more points than the other team, so at least 25 versus 23. Beach Volleyball is similar but played to 21. A point is scored in Volleyball each time the ball touches the floor inside the opponent's part of the court or when an error is made.
Volleyball is fast-moving but can be close, and the momentum can shift across sets with one team taking an early lead, and the other then clawing it back. Our Volleyball betting lets you take advantage of swings in fortune with In-Play markets including winner of the next set, the points spread in the next set, all with up-to-date Volleyball odds.
Sets are played to 25 points in indoor Volleyball and 21 points in beach Volleyball. However, the winning side has to have at least two more points than the losing team in both, so 25 vs. 23 for indoor, and 21 vs 19 in beach.
If one team has 24 in indoor Volleyball, the other has to win by two points, so 26 vs. 24. These points over 25 are called extra points. With our wide range of Volleyball betting markets you'll find more than one way you can bet on how many extra points will feature, either in individual sets or across matches. You can even bet on the highest scoring set across competitions.
As teams need to win a set by at least two points in Volleyball, sets can run on and on until one side finally pulls ahead by enough to win.
The highest ever scoring set in Volleyball history is debated, especially as rules have changed over the years, but scores in the 40s can happen, even in the 50s. In 2015 in the Korean Championship, one set between Incheon Korean Air Jumbos vs. team Ansan OK Financial Group Okman ended at an impressive 56 vs. 54.
Our Volleyball betting markets can let you take advantage of such closely fought sets with In-Play betting markets like the winning point score for a set. You'll find all our markets are explained and the odds clearly stated, and that you can save prospective bets and add notes to them. Our Volleyball betting offering is designed to meet both the needs of Volleyball experts and newcomers to the sport too.
