What is the point spread in NBA betting?
The Point Spread is the most popular NBA betting option. With games rarely featuring two evenly matched basketball teams, the point spread is a market the sportsbooks use to ‘level up’ the event.
Rather than just having to win the game (as is the case with the moneyLine), with the point spread, the team deemed to be the favorite must win by a specified number of points (the spread) to secure a winning return when wagering on this.
For example, the favorite team might have a point spread of -5.5 (the half-point is the “hook”, which ensures there is no possibility of a push or tie). This means the favorites would need to win by a 6-point margin or more for a wager on them to win.
In this instance, the underdogs would have a point spread of +5.5, meaning they would have to either win the game or lose it by no more than 5 points for a wager on them to win.
How do i bet on the NBA?
The most simple kind of bet is a bet on a particular team to win a specific match. This is known as a "moneyline bet".
A simple moneyline bet on the NBA involves selecting one team to win a game, without considering any point spread or other conditions. Moneyline odds are presented in a positive or negative format, depending on the team's likelihood of winning. A positive number indicates the amount of money you'd win on a $100 wager, while a negative number indicates the amount you need to bet to win $100.
For example, let's consider two teams, Team A and Team B, playing against each other. The moneyline odds for this game are as follows:
- Team A: +150 (odds to win $150 on a $100 bet)
- Team B: -150 (odds to win $100 on a $150 bet)
In this case, Team A is considered the underdog, as they have a positive number, while Team B is considered the favorite, as they have a negative number. If you bet $100 on Team A and they win the game, you would win $150 ($100 initial bet + $50 profit). On the other hand, if you bet $150 on Team B and they win the game, you would win $100 ($150 initial bet - $50 profit).
