Most popular NBA bets
nba betting It can be confusing to see so many betting options on a single site. Here is a quick overview of the most popular NBA betting types:
- Point Spread – This is where you place a bet that teams will win by a certain margin.
- Moneyline – A wager where you place money and pick a winner.
- Total – A total bet allows you to choose whether the final score of a particular game will be “OVER” (or “UNDER”) a certain total. The “OVER” option is available if the teams score more points together than the total listed by the sportsbook. If the combined points of the teams are less than the total, the “UNDER” hits.
- Futures – A futures bet is any type that the outcome of a bet will not be known for a long time. These wagers can include betting on Indiana winning the NBA championship, or odds of winning a division or total win during regular season. Futures odds take a while to become finalized. If you’re willing to wait, the possibility is there to win serious money betting NBA futures.
- Parlay – A parlay is any type or combination of bets listed in this column. Each team must win, regardless of whether it’s a point spread or a money-line bet on the exact same ticket. The entire parlay will be considered a loss if even one of the teams on the ticket loses.
- Props – There is a wide range of prop bets. Some bets are focused on individual performance, while others focus on team performance. A prop bet on an individual’s performance would be to bet on how many points a player will score during a game. A team performance prop bet is where money is placed on the number of three-point goals a team makes in a given game. Prop bets can be a great way to wager on a game, without having to care about who wins or how many points each team scores in any given contest.
