NBA BETTING

When it comes to basketball and basketball betting, it doesn’t get any bigger than the NBA. Since the days of Larry Bird, Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan, it’s been one of the most popular sporting competitions in the world. And the action under the hoops is perfect for betting too.

At Grosvenor Sport, our basketball betting covers all your essential NBA betting markets. You’ll find outright odds, match betting and live In-Play betting. Register now and you can bet on the NBA.

NBA PREDICTIONS & ANALYSIS

When it comes to NBA teams, we all have our favourites. Jordan made the Bulls a household name. Many people have soft spots for the Lakers after the days of Magic, Kobe and Shaq. The New York Knicks are iconic as much for their home ground (Madison Square Garden) as they are for their prowess on the court.

When it comes to NBA betting, it’s important to look at analysis, predictions, stats and data. The first place to start is with our Grosvenor Sport blog. We cover the big matchups and offer our tips and predictions across a range of betting markets. And we’ll provide our predictions for the NBA Finals too.

NBA BETTING EXPLAINED

Just like all top sports, you’ll find a variety of betting markets that cover a range of potential scenarios in the NBA. Let’s look at some of the most popular betting markets.

OUTRIGHT NBA BETTING

An outright bet is a straightforward bet on which team you think will win a competition.

So, when it comes to basketball betting in the US, the biggest outright market is the winner of the NBA Finals. At the end of the season, the winner of the Eastern Conference takes on the winner of the Western Conference in a seven-game series. The team that makes it to four wins first is crowned as the champion and takes home the Larry O’Brien trophy. You’ll find outright NBA odds on each of the teams in the NBA at the start of the season with us at Grosvenor Sport.

At Grosvenor Sport, you’ll also find outright markets on the winners of the Western Conference Finals and the Eastern Conference Finals.

NBA BETTING MARKETS

As well as outright betting, at Grosvenor Sport you can bet on every match across the Regular Season, Play-Offs, Conference Finals and NBA Finals. And that’s a lot of basketball to bet on.

Popular basketball match betting markets include:

  • Money Line Bets: A simple bet on which team you think will win.
  • Totals: Total points, rebounds or assists for teams or individual players.
  • Handicap betting: Where a virtual handicap is added to help the underdog and hamper the favourite.
  • Win margin: A bet on the size of the points between the winning and losing team.
  • Score betting: A bet on the half-time score or full-time score.
  • Top points scorers: The players in the game to score the most points.

You can also make long-term proposition bets at Grosvenor Sport too. These are bets that don’t affect the outcome of a match or competition. Prop bets include betting on the NBA Finals MVP and the Regular Season MVP. You can also bet on the coach of the year too.

Plus you can place basketball accumulator bets on the NBA too.

NBA ODDS

At Grosvenor Sport, you’ll find NBA odds on each of the above betting markets and more.

Betting odds (or betting lines as they’re called in America) help you understand the probability of an event happening. For example, let’s say the LA Lakers were 4/1 to beat the Boston Celtics. Odds of 4/1 basically mean that if the teams were to face off five times, you would expect the Lakers to win four and the Celtics to win one.

Odds are set by bookmakers and are based on a range of factors including the form of the teams, the head-to-head record, injuries, key players, and more.

HOW TO READ NBA ODDS

Not only do odds help you understand the probability of a bet occurring, but they also illustrate how much you win if your bet is successful too.

Using the above example, if you backed the Lakers to beat the Celtics with a £10 wager and they won, you would win 4x your bet. In this case, that would be winnings of £40. You also get your original £10 bet back.

This is an easy example to work out, and often fractional odds are a little more complicated to calculate. Our handy bet calculator is ideal to help you understand the odds and calculate your winnings on any basketball bets.

NBA LIVE BETTING  

Basketball is such a fast and frenetic sport, it can literally change in an instant. Maybe one team misses an important free-throw. Perhaps one team makes a couple of turnovers in quick succession.

With so many twists and turns in every encounter, it’s the perfect sport for live In-Play betting – and you can do just that right here at Grosvenor Sport. Live In-Play bets include match winner, winner of the next quarter, top points scorer, and more.
