How To Bet On Basketball?

Basketball is one of the fastest, dynamic sports and understanding how to bet on basketball is relatively easy. Upon selecting your chosen market, taking a look at the odds can reflect the probabilities of any results or outcomes occurring in a match. Regardless of the game or league chosen, there is a whole range of basketball betting markets to select from, with a number of these coming hand in hand with stats and odds that shift as the action unfolds. Upon selecting your stake and confirming your bet with just a few presses of a button, you can follow along with the matches you have bet on.

Basketball Betting Markets

If you are someone who likes to bet on basketball, this is super simple with BoyleSports. Starting with outright betting, this is a bet on which team you think will triumph at the end of the competition. You can bet on the team to take the Larry O’Brien Trophy at the end of the NBA Championship Finals, as well as the teams to win the Eastern and Western Conferences. Our NBA outright basketball betting also extends to the player crowned MVP and other player-specific options, too.

If you’re all about European basketball, we’ve got basketball betting odds on the outrights for the EuroLeague and the EuroCup. What’s more, should college basketball be your thing, you’ll find a variety of NCAA betting odds too. 

For individual fixtures, you can place Money Line bets (a bet on which team will win), handicap bets or bet on the win margin, half-time score, full-time score and the top points scorers. At BoyleSports, we also bring you trebles as part of our basketball betting specials and live in-play betting odds that change as the action unfolds. 

Basketball Betting Competitions 

When it comes to the best of basketball betting competitions, you have to look stateside at the NBA. It’s been the shining light in professional basketball since its inception in the 1940s, with fantastic rivalries and unbelievable players, including Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, LeBron James, Shaq, and Kobe Bryant, to name just a few. 

Today, the world’s eyes are still focused on the NBA, and at BoyleSports, our NBA betting includes the outrights on the conference winners and the overall winners. You can bet on every NBA match as well as the individual accolades at the end of the season. 

As we’re one of the top basketball betting sites around, we also bring you basketball betting on the EuroLeague, NCAA college basketball, and all the top basketball leagues across Europe, South America, Africa and Australia, each of which comes with its own set of competitive basketball betting odds too.

How Do Basketball Betting Odds Work? 

Speaking of basketball betting odds, you’ll see all the prices at BoyleSports for basketball displayed as fractional odds. For example, you might see one team to win at 6/1 and the opposition to win at 4/5. The team with the 6/1 odds would be the favourite, and if you won on the 6/1 favourite with a £10 bet, you could potentially see a return of £60 plus your £10 stake. If you bet £10 on the 4/5 bet, you’d win £8 and your stake. 

Some basketball betting odds are also displayed in the decimal format. For example, a team could have odds of 7.00, and if you bet £10, you could receive £70 if your prediction wins. This is done by simply multiplying the decimal odds together with the stake you have selected. These are just a couple of simple examples, but once you get into basketball betting, you’ll soon start to get to grips with how the odds work. And once you do, you could check out our basketball tips and predictions that you can potentially use to help make selections.

Live Basketball Betting 

Due to it being highly reliant on momentum and extremely fast-paced, basketball is built for in-play betting. Every possession is capable of changing the game, and with the live betting markets at BoyleSports, you can react in real time as any of the action on the court unfolds. While the clock throughout the quarters is ticking, you can bet on basketball markets such as the next team to score, the winning margin, live point spreads and the total number of points within that specific quarter, just like in rugby league betting too.

All of the live basketball betting odds are fast and responsive, giving you the chance to make quick calls based on the momentum of the game or any situations that have occurred. Whether it is a comeback in the final seconds or a buzzer-beater, the live basketball betting options on one site allow viewers to stay one step ahead.
