More Sports at Degen — Baseball, Ice Hockey, Boxing, Volleyball & Table Tennis
Degen’s sportsbook covers 11 sports. Soccer, basketball, American football, tennis, CS2, and FIFA get their own pages on this site because there’s a lot to say about each one. But that leaves five more sports that deserve your attention — especially if you’re the type who likes betting where the market is thinner and less efficient.
Baseball, ice hockey, volleyball, boxing, and table tennis. Each one has its own rhythm, its own edges, and its own reasons to show up on Degen’s board. Here’s the breakdown, sport by sport.
Baseball (MLB)
162 games per team in a regular season. That’s not a typo. MLB gives you more betting volume than almost any other sport on the planet. From April through October, there are games nearly every single day — which means edges compound fast if you know where to look.
The starting pitcher is everything in baseball betting. One player changes the entire line. And here’s the thing — late roster confirmations (often hours before game time) can move lines significantly. If you’re paying attention when pitching changes get announced, you’ll catch value that recreational bettors miss entirely.
Ice hockey (NHL)
NHL is the main event. 82-game regular season running October through April, then the Stanley Cup Playoffs take it into June. That’s 8 months of hockey betting. The KHL, IIHF World Championship, and Olympic hockey fill in the gaps for people who can’t stop.
Goaltenders are to hockey what starting pitchers are to baseball — the single biggest variable on any given night. A team’s odds swing dramatically based on who’s in net. And goalies get confirmed late, often just hours before puck drop. Sound familiar? Same edge, different sport.
Quick note on the puck line: ±1.5 goals in hockey is a big deal. Hockey is low-scoring. A one-goal margin decides most games. Taking a -1.5 on a favorite is risky but the juice is better. Taking a +1.5 on a dog is safer but priced accordingly. Know the distinction before you click.
Boxing
Boxing betting at Degen works differently from most sports. There’s no 82-game season or weekly fixtures. Major fights happen on a calendar basis — title bouts, PPV cards, promotional events from Top Rank, PBC, Matchroom, and DAZN. When there’s a fight, there’s action. When there isn’t, there isn’t.
That said, the market depth on big fights is solid. WBO, WBA, IBF, WBC championship bouts get full treatment.
Method of victory is where the money’s at for sharp boxing bettors. Anyone can pick the fight winner — that’s usually heavily juiced anyway. Calling KO vs. decision? That takes actual knowledge of each fighter’s power, chin, age, and activity level. The market often misprices this angle.
Volleyball
Volleyball is a sleeper for sports bettors. Most people overlook it entirely, which is exactly why there’s value. The FIVB Nations League, World Championships, Olympic qualifiers, and top national leagues (PlusLiga, Brazilian Superliga) all show up on the board.
The betting structure is straightforward — match winner, set betting, total sets, set handicap. Not a million props to wade through. Clean, simple, actionable. And home court advantage in volleyball is more pronounced than in most sports, which gives you a variable the market sometimes underweights.
| Market | What it means | Where’s the edge |
|---|---|---|
| Match winner | Who wins the match | Core market — straightforward |
| Set betting | Exact set score (e.g., 3-1, 3-2) | Higher odds, often mispriced |
| Total sets | Over/under total sets played | Mismatch vs. competitive matchup reads |
| Set handicap | Virtual set advantage | Lopsided matchups |
| Live / in-play | Odds shift during the match | Momentum swings between sets |
Set betting at specific prices (like “Team A wins 3-1”) is the value market in volleyball. The set score tells you more about how competitive a match was than just the winner. If you can read team form and matchup dynamics, this is where your knowledge converts to profit.
Table tennis
Here’s the thing about table tennis betting — it’s fast. Matches take 20-30 minutes. During major events, you might have 10+ matches running in a single day. For bettors who want constant action and quick turnaround, there’s nothing quite like it.
The ITTF World Tour, World Championships, and Olympic table tennis all get covered. Markets are simpler than most sports — match winner, set betting, total sets, game handicap. But the speed means your research edge compounds quickly across multiple matches in a day.
Player form matters a lot and updates rapidly. A player who lost in the morning might be a different bet in the afternoon round. Track momentum closely — this sport rewards bettors who stay engaged throughout the day.
