Floorball betting: odds and markets explained
An indoor game played at full speed with a light plastic ball, floorball is a Nordic favourite with plenty of goals.
Updated October 4, 2026
Floorball betting is popular in the countries where the sport is strongest: Sweden, Finland, Switzerland and the Czech Republic, which all run serious domestic leagues, plus the World Championships for national teams. A game is three periods of 20 minutes with stopped-clock rules at the top level, and five players plus a goalkeeper per side.
Scoring is lively: around ten goals in a game is common. The main markets:
- 1X2 after regular time, as draws happen;
- Winner including overtime where available;
- Goal handicap, e.g. -2.5 for a strong favourite;
- Total goals, often a line around 9.5 or 10.5;
- Period betting for each 20-minute period.
What matters: the gap between top national teams and the rest is wide, so international handicaps can be large; in club play, depth matters because teams rotate lines frequently; goalkeeper form swings totals; and teams trailing late often pull the goalkeeper, which produces late goals into an empty net, much as in ice hockey.
Worked example: under 10.5 goals at 2.05 implies 48.8 %. If two defensively organised clubs meet in a play-off, you may rate the under higher.
