This site is
intended to provide the sports betting enthusiast all information
required to be successful at online Basket Ball gambling.
This information will be helpful in gambling on NBA, WNBA, and NCAA
events.
A typical online wagering menu for
NBA includes, but is not limited to, the following exciting bets:
POINTSPREAD
Many online sportsbooks and casinos offer point
spread and over / under betting, both online and over the telephone.
On a point spread wager, the team wagered must win by the point
spread. On an over / under wager, the total points of the contest by
both teams, overtime included, must fall over or under the side
selected.
Example:
The
posted line is the L.A. Lakers -10 at Portland Trailblazers +10 and
the over/under total is 189.
The
odds are $1.10 to win $1.00 (-110) unless otherwise indicated.
For
the player who wagers on the Lakers -10, they must win by more than
10 points for this to be a winning wager. For the player who wagers
on Portland +10, they must either win the game, or lose by less than
10 points for this to be a winning wager. If the outcome falls on
the number, either way, the bet is declared a "Push", and the
original stake is refunded.
For
the player who wagers on the total points of this contest by both
teams to be "Over" 189, the combined final score of both teams must
exceed 189. For the player who wagers on the total points of this
contest by both teams to be "Under" 189, the combined final score of
both teams must be less than 189. If the outcome falls on the
number, the bet is declared a "Push", and the original stake is
refunded.
Pointspread and Over/Under lines will be offered on all NBA
contests.
All
wagers on the side & total will include all overtime scoring
MONEYLINE
Many Las Vegas and web based sportsbooks offer
money line odds wagering on American Basket Ball, both online and
over the telephone. Money line Wagering is simply wagering on the
contest based on a given price rather than a point spread. The team
bet on just, has to win the game.
Example:
A player could choose one of two wagers on the following match up:
L.A. Lakers -200 at Portland Trailblazers +180. If the Lakers win,
the player laid $200.00 to win $100.00. If Portland wins, the player
who bet $100.00 wins $180.00.
PROPOSITION
Simply put, Proposition/Exotic Bets may generally be considered as
any wager other than a straight "side" or "over/under" wager. More
specifically, these wagers usually involve specific events and
occurrences that happen throughout any given game. We have listed
some examples for you below. Props/Exotics will be offered on more
marquee games on the betting menu. These include, but are not
limited to, Sunday and Monday night NFL games, various NCAA Football
games, major Bowl games, and many Playoff and Championship
Basketball games. There are also many other miscellaneous events
that Props and Exotics will be offered for.
POINTBUYING
Many
Atlantic City sportsbooks and internet casinos offer Point Buys.
This is a method of allowing the bettor to improve the point spread
odds of a Basketball contest by actually "buying points" for the
team he/she wants to wager, side or total. Bettors can buy points in
1/2 point increments up to 3 points, depending on the contest. Each
1/2 point costs the bettor an additional 10% vigorish.
Example:
The
L.A. Lakers are playing the Portland Trailblazers, and the line on
the game is the Lakers -10, with a total of 189. If a $100 wager is
placed on the Lakers -10 with a 1/2 point buy, the player has a
wager on the Lakers -9 1/2 points, and must put up $120 to win $100,
instead of the usual $110 to win $100. If the player, for example,
requests a full 1 point buy to move the point spread down to -9,
he/she would have to put up $130 to win $100.
Conversely, the
bettor may also buy points on the Trailblazers side, and get the
line at plus 10 1/2 or 11 points, with the same increase in vigorish.
Bettors may also buy points for basketball totals. In this
particular game, bettors could buy an "over" wager with a maximum
line move down to 188, or an "under" wager with a maximum line move
up to 190.
Point
Buying up to a maximum of 2 point will be offered on all NBA and
NCAA contests.
Point
Buying will not be offered on halftime, quarter or money line
wagers.
