How To Bet on NBA Basketball

Hey guys hope you were having a successful betting experience all the time I was away from my sports betting blog :-) Sorry for not passing by for so long - I was involved in work and betting occasionally...
So, you already know that soccer and football have always been my favorite betting targets... This time we'll speak about betting on NBA Basketball...


Money Line betting  in betting on NBA Basketball
It's quite easy: you bet on a team to win the game and, the team only needs to win the game. It doesn’t matter by how much they win by. Of course with money line betting you will have less of a payout for favorites, and the underdogs will be paying out more.

NBA Spread Betting
When betting against or on the spread you will be choosing a team, but it is a little more advanced than just picking the team to win the game. The bettors will set a number that the favored team is favored by. In order for a bet on the favored team to win they must win by more than the amount of points they are favored by. In order for a bet on the underdog to win they can lose by fewer points than they are underdogs by or win the game straight up. 

Over Under NBA Basketball Betting
Betting on the over under in NBA basketball involves betting on the total amount of points scored by both teams combined. The bettors will set a number, which is called the game total, and bettors will be able to place a bet on the total numbers of points scored by both teams going over or under that set number. For example the number for an NBA game may be set at 191.5, and bettors will have to chose whether the two teams will combine for more or fewer points than 191.5 throughout the game.

Prop Betting for the NBA
You'll have the option to make prop bets on NBA basketball games, which involves betting on anything other than the final outcome of the game. An example of an NBA prop bet would be betting on the halftime score or betting on how many points an individual player will have. You can also make future prop bets for the NBA, which include betting on who will win the NBA championship in any given year or who will be named the NBA MVP at the end of the season. There are an endless amount of prop bets that sportsbooks will offer lines for NBA bettors.

So here's the question: what betting options do you use to bet on NBA Basketball?
