Sports betting plays a significant role in the lives of many fans today. And it has always been that way. People have been making bets with each other since ancient times. In ancient Greece, spectators bet on the results of the Olympic Games, while in ancient Rome they wagered on gladiator victories. Back then, bookmakers did not yet exist. The first company offering bookmaker betting was founded in Great Britain in 1790, when William Ogden began accepting bets on horse racing.

For many decades, legal rules prohibited or restricted sports betting. Bookmaker betting remained illegal in Europe and the USA until the mid-20th century. Bookmakers survived thanks to corruption or legal loopholes. In 1961, the authorities of Great Britain, Germany, France and several US states legalized sports betting.

All matters related to sports betting in Poland were regulated by the Gambling Act of 19 November 2009. Since then, many online betting portals have appeared across the country. In 2016, our bookmaker company GGBet was launched. Thanks to our professional service, extensive range of available sports disciplines and fairly high odds, we quickly gained recognition among bettors. Join GGBet now and use the best services we offer to bettors worldwide.

Sports betting offers from Polish bookmaker GGBet

Our customers have access to more than 35 sports disciplines for betting. We provide legal sports betting in Poland on both popular and less common sports. Football, basketball and tennis matches are available, along with cricket, beach football and even chess. We also offer our customers some of the most competitive odds on the market.

Users of our platform can place bets in two modes:

Pre-match — in this case, bets must be selected before the match starts.
Live — this option allows betting on sports while the event is taking place.

Importantly, we offer our customers access to live broadcasts. Bettors can watch matches of their favorite teams completely free of charge. Placing a bet is not required in this case. Simply go to the Live section and choose an available match to watch. Bettors can also check current sports statistics on our portal, which can help them make more considered decisions.

Best odds for online sports betting

We are proud to give you the opportunity to bet at competitive odds. Players who join our loyalty program can access an excellent offer. The loyalty program includes bonuses in the form of boosted odds on top sporting events.

Sports betting odds are a numerical representation of the bookmaker’s opinion on the probability of a given match outcome. Different countries use different formats for displaying odds. Among players from Poland, decimal odds, also known as European odds, are the most familiar. Based on the odds, a bettor can calculate the possible payout or net profit in case of a successful bet. To calculate the total winnings, multiply the stake by the odds.

Example of odds calculation:

Football match: Manchester United vs. Liverpool
Odds on Manchester United to win: 2.5
Stake on Manchester United victory: PLN 500
Winnings in case of a correct bet: PLN 1250

There are many strategies that can be used with odds, including betting on favorites or underdogs, value betting, Martingale and others. The key to choosing a strategy is analyzing and understanding the odds, as well as using sports knowledge and news.

Importantly, odds for live bets are always higher than odds for pre-match bets. During a live match, odds constantly change under the influence of various factors: a goal scored, injuries, weather changes, substitutions and the mood within the team.

Odds in live betting are not fixed. The betting line is dynamic, and odds may change depending on what is happening on the field. When the probability of a specific event changes, the odds should also be expected to change.

Types of sports bets

Before betting on favorite disciplines, it is worth checking the basic types of sports bets. Understanding betting strategies and bet types is the most important task for every bettor. The GGBet website offers a wide variety of markets, and this is our main advantage. The most options are available in football betting, which is not surprising given the popularity of this sport. The offer for volleyball betting is equally extensive. Below are the main types of bets available for sports.

1x2 sports betting

1X2 is the simplest betting market, where the player bets on one of three possible match outcomes. This means that 1X2 bets are offered in matches where a draw is possible. This type of bet is available for both single and accumulator bets.

The most popular version of the 1x2 line is betting on the result of regular time. A bettor can also place a bet on the result of one half. In that case, the result of that half will be taken into account when settling the bet. Even if the team loses the match but wins one half, the bet will be successful.

1X2 sports betting markets include three possible match outcomes:

team A wins;
team B wins;
draw.

The main disadvantage of outcome betting is unpredictability. As with other bet types, it can sometimes be difficult to predict moments that may change the course of a match. In football, these may include fouls, penalties or a cancelled goal. There are situations where good team statistics do not guarantee a win, and the match ends in a very unexpected way.

Draw no bet

The draw betting strategy involves finding matches with the highest probability of an even result and, at the same time, high odds. Online sports betting on draws is possible in different sports, but not all. For example, in popular sports such as tennis or volleyball, draws are only possible in separate and less popular tournaments. In basketball matches, draws are very rare, but this sport is still suitable for this type of bet. Naturally, the most draws occur in football.

The advantages of this type of bet include the following:

high odds;
high probability of draws in some tournaments;
availability of tested strategies;
possibility of protecting yourself against major losses.

Betting on a draw is justified if a detailed analysis has been carried out and the choice is supported by facts. The most important thing in this strategy is to choose the right championship and match where the probability of a draw is high.

Handicap betting

Handicap betting is a type of sports betting that gives players the opportunity to secure their pick by granting a theoretical advantage to the weaker team. Handicaps were first used in horse racing, when a weaker horse was placed a few centimeters ahead of other horses to receive a handicap — an advantage. Today, handicaps are especially popular in football.

On our portal, you can bet on 3 types of handicaps:

Positive. A positive handicap, marked with the “+” symbol, is given to the weaker team or player before the sporting event begins. This means that the team or player starts with a points advantage.
Negative. A negative handicap, marked with the “-” symbol, is given to the stronger team or player before the match begins. In this case, the team or player starts the event with a certain points deficit.
Zero. This type of handicap acts as insurance for a bettor who wants to minimize risk in case of a draw. By betting on a team with a zero handicap, the player gets protection if the match ends in a draw.

Online handicap sports betting gives bettors more balanced chances of winning, making even uneven contests more interesting for players.

Over/Under

Over/under betting can apply to conditional units in a specific event: points, goals, penalty minutes, penalties, played sets and more. Simply put, it is a bet on the total number of events in a given competition.

Let’s consider a few examples of over/under bets in football using a hypothetical Real vs. Barcelona match. The conditional stake amount in all cases is PLN 1000.

Over 2.5 bet. The odds are 2.0. The match prediction will be successful if the teams score at least 3 goals. In this case, the player’s winnings are PLN 2000.
Under 2.5 bet with odds of 1.8. The bet will be settled as winning if the teams score no more than 2 goals. The total winnings are PLN 1800.

Over/under bets are available for almost all sports disciplines, including football, hockey, basketball, volleyball, tennis, handball, rugby, snooker, darts, water polo, table tennis, badminton and others.

The most important thing is to understand how to use a given market effectively. By focusing on the number of goals or points, bettors can experience excitement even when the competing teams are unfamiliar or when they do not have favorite teams in a given match.

Betting on the tournament winner

On our website, you can bet not only on separate sports matches but also on well-known and niche competitions. In football, you can pick the winners of the Champions League, Europa League, Conference League, World Cup, European Championship and domestic championships. In hockey, you can bet on the winner of the KHL, NHL and other championships. The most popular tennis tournaments are the Grand Slam events. Be prepared to wait at least several weeks or even the whole season before the result of the bet is known.

It is best to place sports bookmaker bets on the tournament winner after the summer transfer window closes in the selected league. In this case, the bettor can fully evaluate the teams and make the right choice. In North American leagues such as the NBA and NHL, it is worth waiting for the trade deadline: around 50% of transfers in these leagues take place during the final 2-3 days before the window closes.

Accumulator and system bets

In addition to traditional single bets on one event, the GGBet offer also includes accumulator and system bets. An accumulator bet, also known as a multiple, includes several bets on different events combined into one. To win an accumulator bet, all events selected on the bet slip must be successful. This can be harder than it seems, especially when betting on multiple sports matches.

However, the main advantage of accumulator bets is that they can produce much larger winnings. This happens because the odds of all selected events are multiplied, which can result in very high final odds.

A system bet is essentially a set of accumulator bets. Instead of placing one large bet on several matches, you can divide your predictions into several smaller bets, each covering only part of the selected events. System bets can include 3 to 8 or even more matches, depending on the chosen system.

The advantage of system bets is their flexibility and high profit potential. Unlike accumulator bets, they do not require all selected events to be won in order to succeed. A bettor can still make additional profit even if some predictions fail.

Bets on additional outcomes

Sports betting in Poland on additional outcomes is also known as special bets or side bets. This is a type of bookmaker betting that allows bettors to wager on events related to specific situations or aspects of the match and not directly on the final result. These bets may include various scenarios:

number of yellow cards;
number of corner kicks;
first goalscorer;
duration of a specific action.

These picks allow players to expand their betting options by choosing different scenarios that may occur during a match. They are popular among bettors who like to analyze different aspects of the game and feel confident about specific events. They add another layer of excitement and strategy for players who want to explore various elements of sports competition.

How to bet on sports online?

When placing sports bets, it is important to remember a few key aspects. The most important one is choosing a reputable bookmaker. Before creating a player account and starting to place bets, it is worth checking the bookmaker’s license, betting range, promotional offer and opinions from real customers. Our betting platform is fully legal and trusted by players. We provide GGBet customers with high odds, attractive bonuses and professional support.

The main rule of successful betting is that you should not spend more money on bets than you are prepared to lose. Bankroll management is an important part of safe and responsible gambling. Before placing a bet, it is also worth becoming familiar with the basic concepts and terms used in the industry. Choose bets with attractive odds that offer a good reward in case of a win.

In addition, players who plan to earn money from betting are advised to learn financial strategies or develop their own. It is also worth activating a bookmaker bonus. New players can receive attractive rewards in the form of free bets, freebets and bet insurance. Extra bonuses give players more opportunities to win.

Sports betting can become a truly good source of income for bettors. However, for a beginner, achieving a positive result is a long-term prospect. To reach this goal, one must learn to collect necessary information, analyze it and control emotions. Only in this case can sports betting bring players truly high earnings.

Betting on sports matches at GGBet is simple. Choose a discipline from the menu on the left, then select a match and open its page. There you will see outcome options and the odds for them. Click on the odds, and the bet will be added to the slip on the right. You can also choose another outcome — it will also be added to the slip, creating an accumulator bet. Then enter the stake amount on the bet slip and confirm it. The minimum bet for players from Poland is EUR 0.5 or the equivalent in PLN.

What should be considered when making predictions?

When choosing a match to bet on, it is worth analyzing several factors. First of all, take into account player form, possible injuries, playing style, results of previous matches, and the history of meetings between teams or individual players. This information can shed light on team and player tactics and help make accurate decisions.

Choosing a favorable match is also important. To find profitable sports bets, you need to compare the size of the odds for each market. Some markets may have more attractive odds than others, which can significantly affect potential profit.

A key analytical tool is watching matches live. In this case, the customer can count on higher odds. In addition, analyzing the match while it is in progress allows a better understanding of the situation on the field. However, this requires strong focus on the match and quick decision-making.

For beginners, it is better to choose sports they understand. Before betting on a match, it is worth understanding the rules and mechanics of the game in a given sport. The better you understand the game, the easier it will be to predict the outcome.

Weather conditions play an important role in some sports. Disciplines such as football, tennis and beach volleyball are more sensitive to weather. Therefore, it is worth checking whether the weather forecast may have any influence on the result of a given match.

You can also keep betting statistics. Analyzing bets is a process of continuous self-improvement. A player should be aware of every bet placed. Recording selected bets allows the bettor to identify strengths and weaknesses and track which picks are the most successful. This helps avoid strategies that bring no success and focus on those that deliver the best results. Analyzing losing bets helps understand why they failed.

Popular sports betting strategies

Before starting to place sports bets online, it is also worth looking at several important strategies that can be used by bettors. Here are the most popular ones:

Martingale. To use this approach, you must constantly double the stake on the same outcome until it wins.
Anti-Martingale. As the name suggests, the Anti-Martingale strategy is the opposite of the Martingale strategy. According to this technique, the stake is increased or doubled after a winning bet, not after a losing one.
Kelly Criterion. This strategy is more suitable for experienced players because it involves looking for value bets in the bookmaker’s line, which is not easy.
Fibonacci strategy. In sports betting, the Fibonacci method should be understood as follows: the amount of each bet, starting from the third one, provided that the previous one lost, should be equal to the sum of the two previous picks.
Flat betting strategies. With this strategy, the player always bets the same amount of money. It does not change depending on odds, pool size or event probability.
Fixed percentage strategy. This strategy takes bankroll size into account. Therefore, the bet amount constantly changes and adapts to the current bankroll size. Usually, players bet 1-2% of the pool, while only experienced bettors may bet up to 5% of their budget.
Accumulator strategy on favorites. There is a hypothesis that, among all available matches, it is possible to select those in which the favorite’s victory is obvious. These are so-called safe bets with minimal risk. The main disadvantage of such bets is low odds. Therefore, players combine several “obvious” outcomes into one accumulator bet.

When placing sports bookmaker bets, every player wants to choose an approach that allows them to win under all conditions. However, universal strategies do not exist. Each sport requires its own system or at least adaptation to the specifics of the game. Therefore, it is worth testing different methods and approaches to betting in order to choose the most successful one.
