Floorball is very much a unique sport in its own right but it is likened to elements of other disciplines. Essentially, it’s a type of floor hockey where the object is to use sticks to propel a ball through the opposition goal. Clearly that’s a very basic interpretation of the rules but it’s enough to gain a grounding and to consider the betting markets that are attached to this unusual sport.
Floorball is especially popular in Scandinavia and teams in this part of Europe have dominated the world championships. This global tournament was originally held in 1996 with Sweden winning eight of the first ten men’s editions.
Those world championships are obviously the main focal point of our sportsbook but there are other international floorball tournaments, together with a number of top domestic leagues including the Svenska Superligan in Sweden. The range of competitions is there but what can you actually bet on?
It may be seen as a fringe sport in some parts but there’s certainly nothing unusual about floorball’s range of betting markets. Options start early on with outright winner picks for all major tournaments and these will be published ahead of the first play. In time, fixture lists will be confirmed and match betting will start to be listed.
Many bettors like to focus on those main markets but there are alternatives including a range of prop bets such as total goals. Floorball is also picked up by our live sportsbook where the majority of pre-match bets transfer over to the in-play section once the game has started.
Unibet provide competitive odds to complete the platform so the value is there to back up the choice. In summary, it’s a comprehensive package and perfect for anyone looking to bet on the idiosyncratic sport of floorball.
