\n How can I bet on basketball? \n <\/h3>\n <\/div>\n

The best way to place a bet on an NBA basketball game\/season is to open an account on one of the best basketball betting sites listed up page (DraftKings, for example). Once you've familiarized yourself with the site and its app, the easiest ways to place bets are on the NBA game lines, typically: moneyline, spreads, and total points markets (over\/under). If you are new to betting, we suggest beginning with a simple wager on the moneyline (i.e. which team will win the game). <\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n

To bet on the NBA moneyline, simply pick the team that you believe will win the game. If a team is +100, this means that the bettor stands to win $100 for each $100 wagered. If the favored team is listed at -100, this means that a bettor has to bet $200 to win $100, and so on. For a more detailed explanation and examples, see up page under the heading of Betting Tips. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n
