Basketball Betting – Odds, Markets & Live Bets

Bet on Basketball – How It Works 

Online basketball betting at 32Red is easy. You can place bets as quickly as you sign up and register. Simply select the sport from the sidebar, then pick the league to place your basketball bets. Just like with other types of sports betting, all you need to do is click on the odds to add them to your slip. 

You can go for Euroleague betting, NBA betting, or pick a specific country as a market. Whatever you decide, you can rest assured that you’ll be getting the latest basketball betting odds at 32Red. 

 

Basketball Betting Markets & Odds 

When it comes to basketball betting and more specifically NBA bets, 32Red covers a lot of ground. You can check out the key betting markets for the sport below. 

 

Moneyline – Backing the Winner 

With the moneyline bet, you’re backing the winner of a match. This one applies to all the markets, so you’ll find it under football odds as well as horse racing betting markets. The goal is simple – choose a team to win and wait for the match to end. 

 

Point Spread – Betting Against the Line 

Point spreads are the most popular way to bet on basketball at 32Red. Similar to any other sport, basketball matches can be mismatched, meaning there’s a huge difference in quality between teams. 

With the point spread, you get an even playing field. One or both teams are handicapped to make for a more interesting match and get those NBA betting odds up a bit. 

 

Over/Under – Total Points Betting 

In the O/U market, a sportsbook sets a line for points in a basketball match. You can bet over or under that line on generous odds. The over/under market is heavily popular among punters, as it’s not associated with the score or winner, but rather the total number of points scored. 

 

Player Props – Betting on Individual Performances 

NBA betting is particularly popular due to player props. Instead of focusing on the winning team or a team stat, props allow you to bet on specific feats by individuals that might occur in an NBA match. 

For example, you might bet on how many points Lebron James scores or how many threes Stephen Curry chucks in. 

 

Best Basketball Leagues & Tournaments to Bet On 

What are the most popular basketball betting tournaments at 32Red? Check out the list below. 

 

NBA Betting – The Biggest Basketball League in the World 

The NBA is the most popular league around the world, not just in North America. It’s also the most attractive league when it comes to NBA bets, offering a great number of matches throughout the year along with excellent basketball odds. With the world’s biggest stars playing in the NBA, it’s easy to understand why it’s the top basketball betting option. 

 

EuroLeague & International Basketball Betting 

The Euroleague is almost an NBA alternative, with Europe’s top-rated teams fighting for the trophy in a league-format season. Compared to NBA betting, the point spreads and lines for the Euroleague are lower due to the lower number of points scored on average. But it’s still a delight to bet on, especially for punters who prefer a slower and more strategic basketball pace. 

 

NCAA March Madness Betting – The Ultimate College Tournament 

Whenever March comes around, you’ll find NCAA odds all over 32Red’s home page. The March Madness tournament is packed with action and generous basketball odds, so even if you’re not a fan, you should consider betting on it. 

 

FIBA World Cup & Olympics Basketball Betting 

The FIBA World Cup runs every 4 years and is a premier international tournament for basketball bettors. So are the summer Olympics where the best teams play for the prestigious gold trophy, which is a huge draw for bettors as well. 

 

Basketball betting tips and promotions 

If you want to bet on basketball, you have to understand that it’s played at a much faster pace. This is why the odds are different than tennis odds, for example. It’s good to keep a few basketball betting tips in mind before you place your bets. 

 

• Betting responsibly is the first thing to consider with basketball betting. All those markets and generous odds may be alluring, but if you don’t limit your spending, you’ll lose your bankroll sooner than you expect. 

• Do your research before you start betting. Basketball is a sport with many variables, so you’ll have to learn a bit about it before you start betting. 

• Use sports betting promotions at 32Red to your advantage. There are plenty of bonuses and promotions for NBA bets at the site, so give the terms a quick read and use them to win your NBA bet slips. 

 

Live basketball betting 

Live basketball betting is widely considered the best way to bet on basketball. It matches the intensity and pace of the sport while offering new exciting markets for you to bet on. 

32Red covers key live basketball markets including the NBA, Euroleague, and March Madness. If you haven’t placed your pre-match bets yet, you can join in on the fun and benefit from the top basketball odds at the website and via the 32Red sportsbook App.
