Live Basketball Betting Online

Basketball betting is among the most popular pastimes globally, with a lot of events taking place throughout the year. Bettors naturally choose the NBA and other US leagues as their main favorites, but apart from these competitions, there are plenty of other tournaments that may bring you a lot of fun, including EuroLeague, Olympics, college basketball leagues, and many others. In this guide, you will learn more about the basics of 888 basketball betting and discover the most popular markets. 

Understanding the Basics of Basketball Betting

Before delving into the most popular markets and events, it is worth getting into the foundational elements of sports betting basketball. By reading further, you will see what basketball betting lines are and how to read the odds.

Basketball Betting Lines Explained

The basketball betting lines represent what oddsmakers think about the outcomes of the game. When a bettor chooses one, like the moneyline or totals, they watch the odds and can calculate how much money they can win if their forecasts meet reality. Reading basketball betting odds is quite simple. You choose the format like American, Decimal or Fractional and then watch payouts for each market. For Decimal, you just multiply the amount of the bet by the odds to see how much you can gain if your bet passes.

Exploring the Most Popular Basketball Betting Markets

The best basketball betting sites provide access to dozens of betting markets related to this popular sports discipline. The number of options is enough to cater to every appetite. When you check the 888Starz basketball section, you will see some of the lines that are listed below:

  • Moneyline. This is the simplest way of basketball sport betting where the goal is to predict the match winner. The market is ideal for beginners.

  • Handicap. With this option, the oddsmaker sets a handicap to the favorite like 7 or 10, which means that the team should win by 7, 10, or more points. The underdog can lose by 3 points for the bet to pass. 

  • Totals. With this option, you need to predict whether the total score of the match will be above or below the number set by the oddsmaker. This market ignores the winner and focuses on strategies that will be used by both teams.

  •  Team totals. This is a variation of the previous option, but this time, players bet on one team total score. The market focuses only on one squad, making it more predictable and less volatile. 

  • Quarter or half bets. This option allows you to bet on events that will take place during one single quarter of the match. All the available options like the winner, spread, or totals are available for this market, but they are applied for a limited period of the game. 

  • Player props. The market is designed to bet on some specific player performance during the match. For instance, you can bet on assists, rebounds, or even combined stats.

Exotic Betting Markets

Along with the standard in-play basketball betting options, bettors can choose from a variety of specific exotic bets. Find some of the most popular ones below:

  • First and last basket. This market allows you to try to predict which player will score the first and the last points of the game. 

  • Will the game go to overtime? With this option, you can choose between Yes or No. If you choose Yes and the match goes to overtime, then your bet will pass. The market is popular among bettors due to its binary nature.

  • Largest lead of the game. By choosing this market, you will bet on whether the biggest lead will be over or under a specific number.
