Handball 2019 World Championship

[Trofo]

The competition started yesterday and I am just browsing trough today's offer to choose some bets. I couldn't find the topic here on the forum so decided to make one in case there is some interested parties here.

I think i will choose Croatia to win and Macedonia to win.

Croatia has a lot of problems but they can pull together in important matches. Island also has some problems among their outside positions so I except a tight defense from Croatia to give them comfortable win. We will see. I didn't watch any preparation matches so this will be for small stakes.

Macedonia should have an easy job against Japan. They are just much stronger physically and Japan will have big problems to jump over their defense or defend against Kiro Lazarov.

Not many bitcointalkers in this topic yet 
Anyway, Croatia and Macedonia are both good teams but we can see surprises from other teams like France too...

Oooh Handball is being talked here on BCT ? Unexpected but very cool !
Expect the French team to win another title (I'm French  ) even without their star player Nikola Karabatic.
Big fan of them... but very disappointed lately because they just had a ceremony with our President Emmanuel Macron, a real piece of s...

EDIT : they just beat Brazil 24-22, not as easy as some would have expected.

French, bah you are my arch nemesis then. I am Croatian  We had some epic matches lately. World cup final and Davis cup final. I will not talk about our handball rivalry because French won most of the important matches.

You guys are always a bit slow at the beginning of the tournament and then you start hitting higher gears as the games became more important. I have a feeling you always win small matches but often with very close score. You just play as much as you need to secure the maximum points.


Great day at the bookies for me. I won both my tickets. On the low stake one i even added handicap against French guys and Kiro Lazarov to score 7 or more goals. Everything passed nicely. Would really love to see some predictions form other parts of the world. Especially regarding some African teams. I feel there is great value in handball handicaps but unfortunately don't have the time and will to properly scout "weaker" teams.

Honestly, this is my first time to hear Handball. I searched it on Google and found out that this game is like a soccer but the difference is you're throwing the ball into the goal instead of kicking it, now I know . After I sesrched, I suddenly recall that I've already watch a clip of this game where the man did an insane move while doing a penalty throw (like a penalty kick in football). This game was not too complicated compare to basketball, however, it amazes me every time the players make acrobat moves while throwing and make the cool trajectory of the ball.
Anyway, Denmark and Macedonia are very strong teams (if we will based on the goals they made on today's match) so I guess they will be my pick.

I played Handball professionally at the end of my teenagehood, and I don't even know Handball has a World Championship. This game is might not be interested to watch, but it is very intense when you are involved in the game. So many vital decision making and required skill. By the way, does anyone know a cryptocurrency based gambling site to bet on this Handball Worldcup.

Handball?
Jesus, have we dropped to new lows on btctalk.org?

Only joking but the reason there’s not much interest here is becsuse it’s not a very popular sport. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a televised game & I watch a lot of sport.

Maybe it needs more exposure.

I guess Handball is very geographically divided sport. Meaning while there is no interest in USA and very little interest in Great Britain and Australia I believe it is quite popular in Germany, Spain, France, all Nordic countries and all countries in region near to Croatia (didn't want to write Balkan or former Yugoslavia).

It started to get some traction in Africa and Asia but all the best national teams are from Europe. A good proof of that is that European championship is more competitive then world cup.

Try and watch the game in the later stages of this world cup. There is a lot of "weaker" teams in this first groups so you won't get the real picture of the sport but it will get more and more interesting as the competition progress.

For those who don’t know what handball is -> https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handball

If this sport is under the radar in your region, even better, we can suggest here some good picks
There are Handball markets on crypto betting sites

So,

For today there will be smart to bet on Germany-Brasil total scored goals - over (margin over 51,5 up to over 53,5)

Good news for France, bad news for everyone else, Nikola Karabatic will be back in the team for the next round.

In my experience the bookies usually mess up in the beginning of big handball tournaments when it comes to the handicaps and total goals scored. So it is a good idea to bet on those during the first round. Not much money to be made betting on favourites to win as the odds are in the 1.01-1.10 region, sometimes it is not even possible to bet on a favourite to win

ok, my prediction WON

margin odds was from 1,60 up to 2,30 ,, depending on betting house and margine of over goals

I'll see for tomorrow to have a good prediction too

[kenzawak]

France just destroyed Serbia 32-21
They played much better than against Brazil, especially in the second half.

[big_daddy]

A suggestion for today,

Croatia - Japan - over (margin over 54,5 up to over 56,5)

And

Spain - Island - over (margin over 54,5 up to over 56,5)

[InvoKing]

Spain still leading vs Iceland with +6 points.
And I think Sweden will beat easily Argentina with +5 goals

[big_daddy]

A suggestion for today,

Croatia - Japan - over (margin over 54,5 up to over 56,5)

And

Spain - Island - over (margin over 54,5 up to over 56,5)

Two days in a row

Won

I’ll see tomorrow if there will be some prospective odds to catch

Best to all
Cheers!

Wow, I am shocked how you did not know that, because you were professional player.

This game is might not be interested to watch, but it is very intense when you are involved in the game. So many vital decision making and required skill.

In my opinion, handball is more fun to watch than football.

By the way, does anyone know a cryptocurrency based gambling site to bet on this Handball Worldcup.

You can bet on Sportsbet.io and Nitrogensports.eu.
