Widely considered one of the world’s top winter sports, biathlon appeals to millions around the globe with its unique blend of rifle shooting and cross-country skiing. Unsurprisingly, given our warm climate, the sport has a fairly small following here in Zambia—but the proliferation of online bookmakers has introduced it to a wider audience.
In this article, we’ll provide you with an introduction to biathlon betting in Zambia, explaining a few of the most popular markets and offering a few essential beginner tips. So, if you’re intrigued by the idea of wagering on biathlon but don’t know where to start, you’ve come to the right place.
There are lots of different biathlon betting markets to choose from, some of which are specific to the sport, while others can be found across a range of categories. This wide variety of wager types is part of what makes biathlon live betting such an attractive prospect for punters, both new and experienced:
Race winner: this type of wager involves predicting which athlete will win a given race and is popular thanks to its straightforward nature
Podium finish: this betting line involves predicting which three players will come first, second, and third, thereby earning a spot on the podium
Head-to-head: in a head-to-head matchup, you have to bet on which of two athletes will finish the race ahead of the other
Prop bets: these are bets placed on specific events in the game (e.g., the time between the winner and the runner-up or whether an athlete will hit all their targets)
Blending precision shooting and cross-country skiing, biathlon is characterized by dynamic races and rapidly shifting odds. Misses during shooting bouts can result in time penalties, meaning that an athlete’s accuracy can have a massive impact on race positions and create significant momentum shifts, causing odds to fluctuate.
Experienced fans of biathlon live betting know how to capitalize on these fluctuations. In-game play allows them the opportunity to respond to odds shifts in real time, whether to mitigate risk or take advantage of a higher value wager.
If you’re new to biathlon betting and want to ensure you start off on the right foot, the advice in this section is bound to be of use. While we can’t guarantee you’ll win every wager if you follow these tips, we can confidently say they’ll at least give you a better chance of success:
