Basketball Betting Tips

The number one league in the world is, of course, the NBA and you can expect NBA tips throughout the season. But we don't stop there, you can also get tips from the NBA G League, a league that is the official minor league to the NBA.

Also in the US, we cover the NCAA (College Basketball) league and in Europe, we cover the EuroLeague which is the best of the best of European clubs. For each event, the basketball betting tips will cover the three major markets which are similar across all American sports.

• Money Line
• Pointspread
• Game Totals

For all three markets, overtime is included. Money Line is a straight shootout, either a home or away win.

Pointspread is the Asian Handicap of the basketball world, you are given a handicap each time (ie -3 and +3) meaning the team has to outscore the handicap. If a team is given a handicap of -3 then they have to win by at least 4 points to win the handicap, should they win by 3 then the bet would be pushed (stake refunded).

The Game Totals is as it says on the tin! The basketball betting tips will go with either an under or an over of a set line. That line indicates the total number of points scored in the game (both home and away). So a line of 216.50 would require at last 217 points for the over to win.
