<p>The history of <strong>basketball</strong> dates back more than a century – first it was invented in 1891 by Dr. James Naismith, a simple Canadian physical education professor who lived in Springfield, Massachusetts, as a way to entertain his students during a long and harsh winter. Since then it has become the second main sport in the world after football. Nowadays it’s popular not only in the United States, but in various different countries, including Spain, France, Argentina, Turkey and China.</p>
<h2>Great Choice of Events to Bet on</h2>
<p>These days basketball has the highest number of professional leagues after football and is still showing great growth rates. Naturally the biggest league is still NBA, which has the highest level of competition and media presence. But professional basketball isn’t limited to NBA – national leagues are developing fast in Spain, Greece, Argentina, Turkey, China, and many other countries. Also, don’t forget about big international tournaments, such as FIBA Basketball World Cup, FIBA EuroBasket and others. It is also played at the Summer Olympics.</p>
<h2>Popular Basketball Betting Markets</h2>
<p>GG.Bet stands out among other bookmakers thanks to a wide selection of basketball betting lines available for pre-match and live wagering. Among supported outcomes there are standard bets as well as Prop wagers.</p>
<p>Standard markets may be an option for our users who do not want to take a risk. It is also a handy way for those who have only recently opened the sports betting world. In turn, Props require a deep understanding of basketball rules, teams’ performance, and the roles of each player.</p>
<p>Scroll down to learn more about the most popular markets available for basketball betting on our sportsbook and pick the one that meets your needs.</p>
<h3>Moneylines Bets (1x2)</h3>
<p>This is a straightforward bet, where you have three options to choose from. There may be a home team that will win, a home team that will lose, or there will be a draw by the end of the game. For example, you are interested in the Asia Cup Qualification event. You may explore the list of games, pick the Indonesia vs Australia match, and wager on the latter to win.</p>
<h3>Spreads</h3>
<p>This is a little bit more complicated wager when a bookmaker gives a handicap to the potential favourite that the team must cover. Only after meeting these conditions, the bet can be paid out. So, a handicap shows the chance of either winning a wager. For example, you are interested in a game between South Florida (+2) and Southern Methodist Mustangs (-2). In this case, the favoured team must win by 2 points or more to win.</p>
<h3>Over/Under</h3>
<p>If you bet on basketball online using O/U, you can predict the overall number of points that will be by the end of the game. While wagering, bettors consider a predetermined value set by our bookmaker. For example, if a game between Rieti and Orzinuovi has a 220 O/U betting line, you may predict whether the final number of points will be over or under this value.</p>
<h3>Handicap</h3>
<p>If you know about Spread, then Handicap would be an easy option for you. Here, a bookmaker credits a virtual deficit to a particular tweak that it must overcome so the bet can be paid out. Often, in basketball, teams have different abilities, so this wager helps level the difference.</p>
<p>For example, SP Basket is given a +7.5 point handicap, and SKB Zlin has a -7.5 point handicap. If SKB Zlin wins the match 102-98, wagers on SKB Zlin handicap will lose because. The reason is that with the handicap, the final result would be in favour of SP Basket (94.5-98).</p>
<h3>Quarters and Halftime Wagers</h3>
<p>When you bet on basketball games, you may wager on specific quarters or halves. These are more advanced markets where you can predict specific outcomes within smaller time segments. For example, you may predict that in a game between the Washington Wizards and Cleveland Cavaliers, the latter will win in the first quarter. Or, you may guess that the Cleveland Cavaliers will beat the opponents based on the overall number of points in the second half.</p>
<h3>Tournament Winner</h3>
<p>It is a simple bet where you predict the team that will be a winner within a particular tournament. For example, you may predict that Rutgers Scarlet Knights will beat the Maryland Terrapins in the NCAA Tournament.</p>
<h2>NBA Betting and Odds</h2>
<p>We offer cutting-edge betting on the NBA with the best odds. They are quickly refreshed, so you can make the most informed decision and have a big chance of winning. NBA is a professional league that unites 30 teams from North America.</p>
<p>On our bookmaker, you can benefit from games within two main conferences: Eastern and Western. Each of them comes with different divisions, including Atlantic, Pacific, Central, Western, and more. Before the postseason comes, each team plays 82 games. Finally, the eight best teams compete for the champion’s title. However, you can choose for basketball betting not only NBA matches. We offer multiple WNBA events as well.</p>
<h3>How to Bet on NBA Games?</h3>
<p>After you top up the balance and are ready to make a prediction, you need to stick to the following simple algorithm:</p>
<ul style="list-style-type:decimal">
    <li>Choose among pre-match and live events.</li>
    <li>Pick a particular game and explore the basketball betting odds. Do not neglect to check the section with statistics to get a big picture of the game.</li>
    <li>Click on your favourite and choose the wager market you would like to use.</li>
    <li>Specify the sum and click to place a bet.</li>

<h3>NBA Betting Odds Explanation</h3>
<p>GG.Bet offers different NBA betting odds formats you may choose from. For your convenience, you can select US, Decimal, Hong Kong, Indo, and Malay options. Here is an example of how this wager type works. Suppose you are interested in a game between the Phoenix Suns and the Los Angeles Lakers.</p>
<p>The total Points bet is set at 200. Thus, if you bet on over, it means both teams must score at least 201 points collectively. In turn, if you bet on under, teams must score a maximum of 199 points collectively so the wager is paid out.</p>
