How do I bet on basketball?
Betting on basketball is super simple with BoyleSports. Let’s start 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.
If you’re all about European basketball, we’ve got basketball odds on the outrights for the EuroLeague and the EuroCup. And if college ball is your thing you’ll find NCAA basketball outrights too.
For individual encounters 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 odds that change as the action unfolds.
How do odds work on basketball?
At BoyleSports, you’ll see all our odds for basketball displayed as fractional odds. For example, you might see one team to win at 6/1 and the opposition to win at 10/1. The team with the 6/1 odds would be the favourite – you may have more chance of winning, but you won’t win as much.
If you won on the 6/1 favourite with a £10 bet, you would win £60 plus your £10 stake. If you bet £10 on the 10/1 bet you’d win £100 and your stake. This is a simple example, but once you get into basketball betting you’ll soon start to get to grips with how the odds work.
And once you do, why not check out our basketball tips and predictions to help inform your betting even further?
What are the top basketball competitions?
When it comes to the best of basketball, 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. 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 come 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.
