Bandy Betting Odds, Live Betting Markets & Tips

Bandy is a winter ball sport played on ice, and is fusion between ice hockey and soccer. The game includes two teams of 11 using sticks and a ball, the idea is to score goals in the opponent’s goal.

The team sport is played over two 45-minute periods, and a bandy field (called a rink) is similar in size to a football pitch, with perimeter boarding to prevent the ball from going out of play.

Bandy is most popular in European countries such as Russia, but is also a regular winter sport in Scandinavia and the US. As such, it has now been recognised by the International Olympic Committee but has yet to be included in any Olympics, owing to its similarity to other sports.

With that being said, the sport’s popularity remains high with regular season games, which has created great interest in bandy betting. Stake Sportsbook offers a wide range of betting lines and markets, as this article explains.

Major Bandy Leagues and Tournaments

Most of the big bandy leagues exist in Russia and Scandinavia, however there has been growing popularity in North America. The best-known bandy tournaments and leagues include:

How to Bet on Bandy and Bet Types

You can enjoy bandy betting in various markets, just like any other sport, at Stake.com.

  • Match winner – select which of the two teams you think will win the game. This is perhaps the easiest of all bets you can place.

  • Handicap – the oddsmakers will even the playing field by adding a virtual handicap to the favourites. If you back the favourite, they must win the match by a margin of at least the handicap.

  • Outright – For any of the top competitions we list above, you can place a bet on which team will win the event outright. The odds will be more favourable the earlier you place them (i.e. before the tournament gets underway).

  • Over/Under total goals – Stake sets a line which it believes will be the total number of goals to be scored. Your job is to decide if it will end up being more or less.

  • Correct score – predict the exact score of a game within the given time limit (this may include extra time).

  • Props – some prop bets are available that have no bearing on the result. Look out for markets like the first goalscorer or who will finish as a tournament’s top scorer.
