Basketball betting tips

To help you make the most of your time playing with us, we’ve put together some basketball betting tips and strategies to make every game a fun experience.

• Know the game – Don’t worry, you don’t need to memorise season and player records from the past 40 years. However, having a solid understanding of the game, team and player form, can stand you in good stead when betting on basketball.

• The favourite can lose – Just because they’re on a hot streak and their star player has averaged over 30 points in the last few games, doesn’t mean they’re guaranteed to win. Factor in the team they’re facing and how their recent form could affect things.

• Lead with your head – We know you always want your favourite team to win, but it doesn’t always happen and shouldn’t affect how you bet. Put aside your loyalties and take into account all the variables before betting on the team you support.

• Choose the right moment – You don’t always have to bet before the game starts. With live betting options available, you can pick the perfect time to place your bet – with odds that change throughout the game.

FAQs

Is it legal to bet on basketball?

Yes, it is legal to take part in basketball betting in the UK. As long as you use a regulated betting operator such as Betsson Sportsbook and are of the UK’s legal betting age, you can bet on basketball. To register with Betsson Sportsbook, you must be at least 18 years old.

What do basketball odds mean?

Odds measure the likelihood of an outcome happening. If the odds are 10/1, this means for every £1 you bet, you’ll get £10 back – plus your original £1 stake.

You can also get ‘odds on’ bets, which are for outcomes that are very likely to happen. For instance, an outcome may be 1/2 ‘odds on’, which means if you bet £2, you’ll get £1 profit back.

What is the most popular basketball betting market?

Pont spread is one of the most popular markets to bet on. This type of bet means you need to cover the spread. If you choose +4, it means the team you choose needs to win by four points in order for you to win the bet.

Does Betsson have a welcome bonus?

Yes, Betsson Sportsbook offers new players a welcome bonus on their first deposit. Whether you win or lose your first bet, upon your second deposit you’ll get another bonus up to a set amount. You can use your bonus to bet on any of our sports betting markets too.
