Bet on Biathlon at Crazywin Sportsbook | Biathlon Betting Guide & Odds

Biathlon Betting Guide for Beginners

Biathlon is a winter sport that mixes cross-country skiing and rifle shooting, so athletes need both speed and accuracy. Every missed target leads to either extra time added or a 150 m penalty loop, depending on the race format.

At Crazywin Sportsbook, biathlon markets are designed so beginners can quickly understand the race formats and bet types without needing deep technical knowledge. This guide walks through how biathlon works and how to place your first bets confidently.

• Individual: Men race 20 km and women 15 km with four shooting stages; each miss adds one minute to the total time, and the fastest overall time wins.​

• Sprint: Men race 10 km and women 7.5 km with two shooting stages; each miss means a 150 m penalty loop, and the quickest to finish wins.​

• Pursuit: Start order is based on sprint results; men ski 12.5 km and women 10 km with four shooting stages, and each miss means a 150 m penalty loop.​

• Relay / Mixed relay: Teams of four compete, often with 2 men and 2 women in mixed relay; each man skis 7.5 km and each woman 6 km with two shooting stages per leg plus extra bullets before penalty loops.​

• Mass start: The top 30–60 biathletes start together; men race 15 km and women 12.5 km with four shooting stages, and each miss means a 150 m loop, with the first to finish winning.

Simple Tips for New Biathlon Bettors

Biathlon lines are often offered mainly in-season, so markets can appear closer to major events like World Cups or championships. Betting limits are usually smaller than big sports, which suits casual and beginner bettors exploring winter sports.​

When choosing bets, basic checks like recent form, shooting accuracy, course conditions, and whether an athlete is competing at home can give a small edge without needing deep analytics.
