Unlike what happens in other sports, there is no tie in basketball, so the possible outcomes are reduced to two.

Some markets available to bet on basketball: winner of the game, margin of victory, if an extension will be necessary, winner at halftime and at the end, handicap and points line (over/under X number of points in total).

In the latter case, a value pre-established by the bookmaker is taken as a reference to shape the traditional Over/Under bet.

Other variants in basketball: total points per team or in total in the game (even or odd), double result, first to score 20 points, winner of a half or quarter, total points each team converts in a quarter.

To enhance emotions, live basketball bets are the right choice; for example, in the mission to guess which team scores first in each quarter.

Basketball is no exception, so the first recommendation revolves around the previous work that every responsible bet must have.

It is essential to do a weekly follow-up of what happens in the chosen leagues and competitions to invest our money and have a good strategy to bet on basketball.

Results, leaders in scoring, rebounding and assists (the study of statistics is key), injuries, rest time between games (especially when a team plays international tournaments or even in the NBA), and precisely how each team responds before the demand to play often.

In that sense, the second half of the season usually takes its toll on those clubs whose agenda has been very busy.

As you can see, there are many factors to analyze before a match and, ultimately, they make up the best strategy that a bettor can choose.

Of course, there are proper and special tactics and systems for basketball, among which the following stand out: betting against a streak, using the handicap to bet on a favorite, betting against a team that has just played a day (or a few hours).

Finally, those who bet on the NBA should be clear that, generally, the team that appears first is the visitor.
