Water polo is a popular kind of sport only in several countries due to what a small number of bookmakers offers bets on this kind of sport. The most widespread water polo is in Hungary, Spain, Italy, Croatia, Serbia, Australia, France and Montenegro.

The most important tournaments are the Olympic games and namely this event the majority of bookmakers set odds for. World championship, Europe championship, Champions League, Adriatic league, Women European league or national leagues in Italy, Spain or Hungary are available not at many.

Betting on water polo

From own experience we know that bookmakers often make mistakes in setting a correct line. Little amount of information about water polo, little number of matches, low interest to this discipline also impact the oddsmakers work, who virtually always go by ratings and statistics.
Other important elements such as injuries or lack of sportsmen remain unknown.
Social networks can become an irreplaceable source for You. Those who often go to matches – forecast them better and simpler. Setting a contact with such person usually gives you an advantage. 


In many cases such information will be a real treasure for a punter before the match. Bookmakers, oddsmakers and other punters have no idea about this. In its turn You have such knowledge and can use it and it can bring good income in the long run. We think that this is the best way to get advantage over bookmakers in forecasting little popular kinds of sports or leagues.
Moreover, according to our observations, bigger differences or mistakes take place in women category of water polo. This occurs due to even more limited knowledge of bookmakers.
