Volleyball betting strategy backtesting on real odds

What you can backtest in volleyball

Volleyball is a 2-way sport scored in sets, best-of-5 across the whole dataset. On five years of Pinnacle closing odds you can test:

• Moneyline on either team
• Set handicaps at 1.5, the dominant line, plus 2.5 as an alternate
• Set totals at 3.5, 4 and 4.5, where a push on the integer 4 settles as a void

The simulator settles every bet against the real closing price, exactly as the book would. Read more about how backtesting works on our Pinnacle historical odds.
