Choosing The Basketball Game to Bet On
You can choose from several dozens of daily basketball events set for pre-match betting on the Secretbet basketball betting page. This includes the NBA as the main world basketball league, European club basketball tournaments, including FIBA EuroBasket, university leagues, national team tournaments, as well as women’s basketball and friendly matches.
Better start with the game where you at least have some knowledge about the sides. Because, the more you know about the teams and the tournament — the higher the chance for your bet to win.
So before deciding on the game to bet on, assess:
- are the odds worth betting at all;
- the favourite of the game;
- current league table standings;
- previous results for each team;
- team motivation;
- results between the teams in recent years;
- current injuries and unavailable players;
- whether the game is set back-to-back.
There are more factors to consider, but this suffice for the first bet. Now, to choose the type of this bet.
Types of Basketball Bets
Each basketball event that is up for wagering at Secretbet has betting markets that determine the types of bets available for the event.
The most popular bets on basketball are:
- Team Wins — either Home or Away team prevails;
- 1×2 bet in regular time — whether the Home or Away team wins, or there will be a draw after the end of the 4th quarter, and the game goes into overtime;
- Regular Time Double Chance — allows choosing 2 possible outcomes out of 3 for regular time, but is more expensive;
- Total bet — whether the total score in the game will be higher or lower than the predicted number.
- Win By — whether Home or Away team will be ahead of the other team by a set amount of points or more;
- Handicap or Point Spread bet — here the betting is about by how much the chosen team will win or lose by, as a + or – handicap is applied to the final score by the team in the match.
There are also bets on who wins a particular quarter, which team scores the last point, who takes the last timeout, and other types of wagers that are self-explanatory by their name and don’t involve complex mechanics.
You’re Set For Betting on Your First Basketball Game
Now you have an account at Secretbet, funds in your platform wallet (with a welcome bonus), knowledge about how to choose basketball events with the most favourable outcomes, as well as an idea of what kind of bet you would like to start with.
