What are the different NBA Betting Markets?
The main NBA betting markets are money line, spread or handicap, over / under total points and player props.
American sports list NBA betting markets slightly differently to other parts of the world, using American Odds compared to Fractional Odds used mainly in the UK and Decimal Odds which are used primarily in Australia and Europe.
Not only are the odds different, the names of specific NBA betting markets vary which are explained below.
Money Line - The money line is betting on which team will win, also known as win or win line. There is no option for a draw in the NBA so the money line is a two way market in which you bet on one team to win which includes overtime.
Spread or Handicap - The spread market is more commonly known as a handicap. Bookmakers will assign one team a positive (+) or negative (-) spread, line or handicap and the bettor bets to cover the line.
Let’s use an NBA game between the Milwaukee Bucks and Golden State Warriors as an example. If the Bucks start with a +6.5 point spread and you bet on the Bucks, they need to win the game or lose by less than 7 points in order for your bet to win.
On the other side of the coin, the Golden State Warriors would be assigned a -6.5 point spread meaning they would need to win by 7 or more points in order for your bet on the Warriors to be a winner.
Over / Under Total Points - This NBA betting market allows bettors to bet on the total amount of points scored in a game by both teams. The bookmakers will set a line, let’s say 215.5 points and you can bet on the total points scored by both teams going over or under that total.
Player Props - Also known as player performance, these NBA bets allows you to bet on one player in a number of categories including points, rebounds and assists. This is a very popular market which relies on the bookmaker setting the line and the bettor picking over or under.
