If you want to place any sports bet, here’s a quick guide on how exactly you should go about it.
Biggest Events in Basketball
Most basketball bets will be placed on premier leagues like the NBA, Euroleague and CBA. The most popular basketball league and the most anticipated would have to be the NBA. It starts with 30 teams playing 82 games in a fast-paced season. Then, 16 teams proceed to the playoffs, each playing another team for seven games. The teams who win four out of seven games move on to the next stage until the final round, known as the NBA finals.
The Euroleague involves 18 teams playing 34 games. The playoffs include teams competing with each other in a best-of-five style series. CBA has 20 participating teams split into four groups of five. Each team competes with other teams in its group three times and the teams from other groups twice.
Best Bets in Basketball
There are many different betting options in basketball; you can bet on matches months in advance, right before one starts, or even during the game.
Outright Winner
This type of long-term bet involves staking on a team you think will win the league or tournament. Long-term bets allow you to bet on the champions of a particular league months before it begins. An example would be placing a bet on which team will win the NBA championship. Additionally, you could like the way one team has started the season and decide to make your bet then.
Most Popular Bets in Basketball
Moneylines
Moneylines is one of the best bets available in basketball. It involves simply placing a bet on which team you think will win a match. In a basketball team, there will only be two teams competing so it is up to you to decide if you want to bet on the favourite or the underdog.
Race to Points
In this type of bet, bettors place wagers on the team they think will be the first to reach a certain number of points in a game, regardless of the final result.
Quarters Bet
A typical basketball game has four quarters. Some people like placing bets on the outcome of a quarter rather than the entire game. This is a wildly popular betting option among bettors, as they can place a bet on the next quarter after observing the game’s progress. It is also great for bettors who don’t want to wait a long time to see the outcome of their bet.
