Basketball Betting Tips
A Basketball bet is easy to make. With over 12,000 professional and college games each season, betting lines are available daily for regular season games, tournaments and playoff action.
Basketball bets are similar to football bets - point spreads are used to handicap the favorites and underdogs for each game. Over and under totals are popular in basketball betting as well. Sportsbooks usually require 43 minutes of play for action in the NBA while for college basketball, 35 minutes is needed.
