Basketball Betting Online at BetUK

There are all sorts of reasons people place basketball bets online, with one of the main reasons being the wide range of markets available.

Here at BetUK, we offer a wide range of UK sports betting options when it comes to basketball, including all the games in the top leagues such as the NBA, regular season and postseason.

Basketball Betting Markets

As with most sports, basketball offers a diverse range of markets when it comes to betting online, some of which may be easier to get your head around than others if you’re new to the sport.

Bets can be broken down into individual game bets and longer-term wagers. Basketball game bets cover the outcome of a game, i.e. which team will win and by how much, but they also cover player performances, such as top scorers in a match. Longer-term bets, often known as futures, predict outcomes over an extended period of time.

Basketball Betting Options

Moneyline bets: The moneyline refers to a bet on which team will win a basketball game.

Points spread: Spread betting is a form of handicap which can be found in many sports such as baseball, in which one of the two teams involved will be given a points obstacle to overcome, while the other will be given a points boost to level the playing field.

Prop bets: Divided into player prop bets and team prop bets, these back your predictions about the specifics of a game. For example, you could bet on how many shots a team will make or which player will score the most points. Prop bets are common in popular competitions such as the NBA and the NBA Playoffs.

Futures bets: Bet on outcomes that are determined at the end of the season. This could include which team will win the league, or the player that will be awarded the MVP for the season.

In-play bets: Select bets whilst a game is live and you are following the action. This bet allows you to determine how a basketball game is going before making a prediction.

League Basketball Betting

Here at BetUK, you can place wagers on some of the biggest leagues in the world. Chief among these would be the NBA, the premium level of the sport in North America. Chances are you’ve heard of the likes of the Los Angeles Lakers, the Chicago Bulls, the Phoenix Suns, and the Golden State Warriors, and this is where they play, with the season culminating in the NBA Finals.

NBA betting tends to offer player and team prop bets too. We also have betting markets on college basketball, including the NCAA March Madness.

Outside of the NBA, you can place bets on basketball a little further afield. Both the NZNBL (New Zealand’s highest level of male competition) and the BBL (the British Basketball League), have betting odds too. So if you’re looking to back the Wellington Saints or the Newcastle Eagles, you can bet on basketball games from these leagues and more.
