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.
