Handball basics: A quick overview
While handball is a pretty difficult sport to become a pro at, it’s one of the easiest sports in the world to understand. Handball is a team sport that is played by two male or female teams. As with football, the main aim of the sport is to score goals and avoid giving goals away. The team that manages to score the most number of goals wins the match in handball.
A handball match is played on a 40 x 20-meter court with wooden flooring. A typical handball game lasts 60 minutes and is split into two halves, both of which are of 30 minutes each. In handball, a draw is permitted, unless the game demands an outright winner. In cases where there is a need for an outright winner, overtime of two five minute periods is given.
Given the exciting nature of the sport, handball betting has always been a popular option in the sports betting world. And at Winissimo, you can expect some of the best odds on a variety of handball betting markets.
Popular handball competitions to bet on
Handball is one of the most popular sports in Europe, and especially in Germany where there are over 4,300 registered football clubs. The popularity of handball has also exploded in several other countries in the past few years, all thanks to the renowned handball competitions held in Europe and several other parts of the world.
Below is a list of some of the most popular handball competitions to bet on at Winissimo:
EHF Champions League
Organized and managed by the European Handball Federation (EHF), the EHF Champions League is one of the most important club handball competitions in Europe. The competition is organized every year by the EHF and it involves the leading handball clubs from the top European nations.
This handball competition is usually split into five main stages. Based on the EHF coefficient rank (a ranking list by EHF of its member federations), teams can join the EHF Champions League either in the group phase or in the qualification phase.
IHF World Handball Championship
The International Handball Federation (IHF) has been organizing the World Men’s Handball Championship since 1938. IHF is also responsible for organizing the World Handball Championship for women that follow a similar structure.
In the twenty-seven World Men’s Handball Championships held to date, eleven countries have managed to clinch the title. Having secured six titles, France has been the most successful team in the IHF Men’s Handball World Championship.
ASOBAL League
ASOBAL League, also referred to as Liga Asobal, is the premier professional handball league in Spain. The league was originally founded as the División de Honor in 1958. However, it got renamed to its current name in 1990.
The league consists of 16 teams and follows the rules set by the EHF. In Liga Asobal, every team out of every division plays each other twice – the first match at home and the second one at the competitor’s own stadium. The league comes to a close after a total of 30 matches are conducted.
To date, FC Barcelona, Ademar Leon, Granollers, and Bidasoa have been the most successful teams in Liga Asobal. Given the popularity of the league, it’s no surprise that it also attracts a lot of handball betting action.

Under/Over betting –
This is a type of bet where you wager that the team will score under or over a specific amount of goals.
