NBA Basketball Betting
By Sebastien Veilleux
Do you want to know a little secret? NBA basketball betting can
make you a lot of money. NBA basketball is a game that has
helped turn sports betting losers into happy sports bettors with
larger bankrolls. It’s really no secret to winning sports
bettors—NBA basketball is the easiest game to make money at. The
game itself gives sports bettors plenty of opportunity and the
ability to win right up until the end. Unlike Football, Baseball
and Hockey, NBA basketball does not have limited scoring. In
those other games you might see a handful—or less—of scoring
executions per game. If your side gets behind too much, it’s
over no matter how much time is left. However, in NBA
basketball, your team is usually in the game until the end.
Think about it for a moment. If you were to bet a -8 point
favorite in football and the game was tied with 6 minutes left
and the other team had the ball, would you have a realistic shot
at winning? The answer is probably not. However, let’s apply the
same situation to an NBA basketball game and chop 4 minutes off
the clock—so there’s 2 minutes left. Would you have a realistic
shot at covering the 8 points? You bet! Teams must shoot the
ball within 24 seconds and each made basket is worth 2 or 3
points. You would only need 3-4 baskets to make the 8 points.
Granted, the other team can score too, but in the NBA, two
minutes at the end of a game is an eternity when the teams are
close.
Let’s look at another scenario. Imagine that it’s half time in
Basketball and Football, it’s the 5th inning in Baseball and
it’s the 2nd period in hockey. Which of these four following
scenarios have the best outcome?
1.The team you bet on in Baseball is down by 6 runs.
2.The team you bet on in Hockey is down by 3 goals.
3.The team you bet on in Football is down by 21 points.
4.The team you bet on in NBA Basketball is down by 22 points.
The answer, of course, is number four. Scores are hard to come
by in the first three options. While comebacks happen sometimes,
in the NBA, teams always go on runs. Each season is filled with
games where a team was down 10,15, even 20 points and came back
to win. There are many other games where the underdog was down
by a lot and game back to lose by just a few points. With the
NBA, you are almost always in the action right up to the end of
the game. Can you say that about any other sport?
Finally, let’s talk about NBA basketball totals. You might find
that betting the total points in a game (under or over) is your
thing and you would not be alone. There is a theory out there
that those who can get a feel for totals betting are among the
most successful sports bettors alive. You could debate that
theory, but it does point out a very important idea. Totals
betting in NBA basketball is full of winning opportunity and the
sports books don’t set them as well as the spread. Will this
translate into more money in your pocket? That’s for you to
decide.
If you are not on fire right now for some NBA basketball
action, check your pulse. NBA basketball presents one of the
greatest opportunities open to sports bettors. Don’t miss out of
a great thing. Sports bettors and handicappers look forward to
the NBA basketball season every year and now you know why.
