Netball is one of the most strategic and fast-paced team sports out there, with constant end-to-end action, making it an exciting spectator sport and an ideal one to bet on.
Netball is quintessentially British. It was first played in the UK in 1890s, but has grown to become a sport played around the world – most notably in the Commonwealth of Nations, especially Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, and South Africa. Major netball leagues and tournaments are played worldwide today, like the Netball World Cup, Fast5 Netball World Series, European Netball Championship, the UK Netball Superleague, and the Australian Suncorp Super Netball league.
You’ll find comprehensive netball betting markets right here at BoyleSports for all the major netball competitions, plus up-to-date netball odds.

To make sure your netball betting stays fun and fruitful, you should ensure that you always bet responsibly. Make sure you:
● Understand the netball match/tournament/league you’re betting on.
● Understand all the netball bets you’re making and how you win them.
● Set yourself a betting limit (called a bankroll), and make sure you stop betting when you reach that limit.
● Never bet with money you can’t afford to lose.
● Never gamble when you’re intoxicated or otherwise not in a clear frame of mind, such as if you’re in a heightened emotional state.
● Treat betting as entertainment only and not as a way to try and consistently make money.
● Seek help if you think your gambling is becoming a problem for you.
How Do Odds Work on Netball?
You’ll see all our netball odds written as fractional odds, like 3/1 or 10/1. Odds of 10/1, for example, mean that if you place a successful bet, you’ll win 10 times your stake. If you made a successful £1 bet on netball at 10/1, you’d win £10 back. Plus your £1 stake would be returned to you, for a total of £11.
Fractional odds often look more complicated than 10/1 – like 3/5 for example – but they always work in the same way. If you placed a successful £5 bet at 3/5, you’d win £3. You’d get a total of £8 as your £5 stake is returned to you. If you place a successful £1 bet at 3/5, you’d win £0.60. Plus your £1 stake would be returned to you, for a total of £1.60.
The table below shows other examples of fractional odds and their payouts. Make sure they’re clear to you before you place any bets with us:
A bet with odds of 10/1 resulted in winnings of £10. With the £1 stake returned, the total winnings amounted to £11.
A bet with odds of 5/1 resulted in winnings of £5. With the £1 stake returned, the total winnings amounted to £6.
A bet with odds of 10/3 resulted in winnings of £3.33. With the £1 stake returned, the total winnings amounted to £4.33.
A bet with odds of 21/10 resulted in winnings of £2.10. With the £1 stake returned, the total winnings amounted to £3.10.
A bet with odds of 7/11 resulted in winnings of £0.64. With the £1 stake returned, the total winnings amounted to £1.64.
The netball odds we quote are a calculation of how likely the bet is to happen – an example would be whether or not Cardiff Dragons will beat Manchester Thunder. Bets we think are more likely to happen will have shorter odds, whilst bets we think are less likely will have longer odds.
We use various data points to estimate our netball odds, including:
● Team form
● Player form and injuries
● Playing style matchups
● The head-to-head history between teams
● Tournament pressure and conditions
