Sport
Almost all sports are represented in the line of bookmakers, but most of them are of interest only to a narrow audience of players. One of them is shooting sports.
Bookmakers only accept bets on shooting during major competitions, and the list is usually limited to the winner of the tournament.
Today we will consider the main types of shooting and the features of bets on these disciplines.

Archery
In this sport, shooting is done from a bow with arrows, most often for accuracy. The one who scores more points wins.
Before the competition, a qualification is organized, and among the athletes who have passed it, the strongest is determined according to the Olympic system (one-on-one matches). For example, in the individual championship at a distance of 70 meters, archers are given 12 arrows, and in team competitions (3 arrows each) – 8 arrows at the same distance. A draw is out of the question. In case of equality of points, an additional shootout is assigned.
Major tournaments:
- Olympiad (every 4 years);
- World Championship (every 2 years, odd);
- World Cup (annually);
- European Championship (every 2 years, even).
At the Olympic Games, 4 sets of medals are played – only at a distance of 70 meters (individual men's and women's competitions, as well as team).
Types of bets:
- Winner (the match consists of sets, for a victory in which 2 points are given, and for a draw – 1. The fight lasts until one of the archers scores 6 or more points);
- Long-term – winning a tournament, getting into the TOP-3, reaching a certain round (final, semi-final, quarter-final, etc.);
- Total (points of one of the athletes that he scored in sets are considered);
- 1 on 1 – of the two archers, you need to choose who will be higher at the end of the competition.
Tournament rules are imperfect and change regularly, sometimes quite seriously. Therefore, before betting on archery, you should study the innovations.
It is difficult to predict the results of the competition, since one mistake can take away the victory. Nevertheless, bettors can track various patterns and, based on a number of factors, predict the winners with high accuracy.
Opponents are able to influence each other's results using psychological pressure techniques. In addition, there are comfortable and uncomfortable opponents, so the results of face-to-face meetings must be studied. For example, if one archer regularly gives in to another, it can reduce his confidence. True, the opposite situation is also possible, when failures will become additional motivation.
The main thing is to track previous results in the same situations. Let's say how an athlete opposes the same opponent after a defeat, or how much an archer is able to gather himself during a competition and turn the tide of a meeting, despite an unsuccessful start.
It is also important to watch performances in past responsible duels (how much worse do athletes shoot, how often they make mistakes, etc.). It is also useful to evaluate the home competition, because the support of the stands will motivate some, while others will interfere with concentration.
In archery, both young and older athletes perform equally well. Sufficient youth and junior competitions are organized annually. As a rule, athletes who perform well in such tournaments continue to delight with successful results at the adult level.
In the final stages of significant competitions, the spread in the level of archers is insignificant. However, there are often clear favorites who are rarely wrong. Especially when it comes to the team championship. For example, the women's team of South Korea took gold from the previous nine Olympics.
Bullet shooting
Shooting is carried out from rifled weapons at targets in a shooting range. Athletes use pneumatic (4.5 mm), small bore (5.6 mm) and large bore (7.62 mm and 9.65 mm) rifles and pistols.
Olympic disciplines:
- Air rifle, 10 m;
- Rifle in three positions (prone, kneeling and standing), 50 m;
- Pneumatic pistol, 10 m;
- High-speed pistol, 25 m.
Main competitions:
- Olympic Games;
- World Championship;
- World Cup;
- Europe championship;
- Pan American Games.
Basically, players can make long-term bets – on winning the tournament and reaching the final, and in rare cases – on the shooter getting into the top three and comparing the results of two athletes. Bookmakers do not offer other options yet.
When analyzing upcoming competitions, it is important to take into account the statistics of the last performances. Based on these data, it is possible to understand the general physical fitness of the athlete and emotional stability.
The analysis of fights should be reduced to a comparison of the main contenders for success. For example, when two participants are significantly higher than the class of competitors, it is useful to compare what results they achieved in general tournaments.
You should not pay extra attention to qualifications, since the arrows do not show their maximum. For example, at the Tokyo Olympics, the Russian Batsarashkina, who took gold in the 10 and 25 meter bullet pistol, setting Olympic records, was only third and fourth in qualifications. And the representative of Greece – Korakaki, who took the second place in qualification (pistol 10 m), was only sixth in the final.
Trap shooting
Athletes shoot in open areas from smooth-bore weapons at targets-plates, which are fed along a given trajectory and speed. The targets are made of bituminous sand and cement, so they break even if a few pellets hit.
Olympic sports:
- Skeet (round stand) – the shooter must alternately shoot down flying targets, moving along the lines (positions) to change the angle of hitting the target. The plates fly towards each other with a delay of 1-3 seconds;
- Ladder (trench stand) – targets are thrown in random order (it is not known in advance where and how the plate will fly). Shooting numbers are on a straight line;
- Double trap – two targets give in at the same time and fly in parallel.
The latter discipline was excluded from the 2020 Olympics program.
The main competitions are similar to the bullet shooting tournaments, as are the outcomes on which there is an opportunity to make a bet (winning a tournament, hitting the podium, in rare cases – comparing athletes (who is higher)).
When analyzing, it is necessary to consider two main aspects: technique and psychology.
The basis of the technique is the ability to control muscle tension. The shooter must correctly control the center of gravity during rotation and relax the muscles optimally. You can understand these nuances by watching the video of the opponents' performances.
The emotional component is considered primarily through the study of previous results. It is important to understand how the athlete has acted in certain situations. For example, when I started first, when the first attempts were unsuccessful, and so on.
In clay pigeon shooting, qualification is more important than in bullet shooting. The results of athletes in the preliminary stages and in the final are rarely different. However, if in the qualifying round many shooters scored approximately the same number of points, then it is better to refrain from betting on the winner. The risk of being wrong is too great.
In addition, if several athletes have an equal number of points in the final, then in the event of a one-shot shootout, the chances are almost equal and the element of unpredictability increases (something like a penalty in football, when an outsider has more chances of success).
In order to make the most accurate prediction, there should be as many factors as possible that affect the outcome. You don't need to rely solely on the odds of the bookmakers.
Shooting Betting Bookmakers
Major tournaments like the Olympics are in the line of almost all legal bookmakers. World and continental championships are available less frequently.
In which bookmakers to bet on shooting?
- BC League Betting is a reliable bookmaker with an impeccable reputation that offers bets on major events;
- BK Betcity – wide line and high-quality painting;
- BC Olimpbet – a convenient platform for playing, including live;
- BC 1xBet – high odds for most of the competitions;
- BC Leon – many bonuses, promotions and contests that can make bets on shooting sports much more profitable.
Before placing a bet, it is useful to view the quotes of all bookmakers and select the highest value.
The odds can vary significantly, since company analysts sometimes assess the shooters' chances of winning differently, and rarely does anyone keep a separate state for these not most popular sports.
For successful shooting bets, conduct a detailed analysis of your opponents, look at their achievements in recent competitions and analyze performance in similar situations. Also, do not forget about the management of the game bank, discipline and control of emotions, because even with good passability of forecasts, it will not be possible to achieve stable profit without these components.
