Basketball Betting Odds

On a point spread bet, the team you bet must win by the point spread. On an over / under bets, the total points of the contest by both teams, overtime included, must fall over or under the side selected.

Example :
Los Angeles  Lakers -10    O 201
Sacramento Kings   +10     U

Basketball Odds
The odds are $1.10 to win $1.00.
For the player who bets on the Lakers -10, they must win by more than 10 points. For the player who bets on Portland +10, they must either win the game, or lose by less than 10 points.
For the player who bets on the total points of this game by both teams to be "Over" 201, the combined final score of both teams must exceed 201. For the player who bets on the total points of this contest by both teams to be "Under" 201, the combined final score of both teams must be less than 201. If the outcome falls on the number, the bet is declared a "Push", and the original stake is refunded.

Many Las Vegas and web based sportsbooks offer moneyline odds, betting on American Basketball, both online and over the telephone. Moneyline betting is simply betting on the contest based on given price rather than a point spread. The team you bet on just, has to win the game.

Example :
Los Angeles  Lakers -200
Sacramento Kings    +180

A player could choose one of two teams on the following matchup: L.A. Lakers -200 at Sacramento Kings +180. If the Lakers win, the player laid $200.00 to win $100.00. If the Kings wins, the player who bet $100.00 wins $180.00

Simply put, Proposition/Exotic Bets may generally be considered as any bet other than a straight "side" or "over/under" bets. More specifically, these basketball bets usually involve specific events and occurrences that happen throughout any given game. We have listed some examples for you below. Props/Exotics will be offered on more marquee games on the basketball betting menu. These include, but are not limited to, Sunday and Monday night NFL games, various NCAA basketball games, major Bowl games, and many Playoff and Championship Basketball games. There are also many other miscellaneous events that Props and Exotics will be offered for.

The L.A. Lakers are playing the Portland Trailblazers, and the line on the game is the Lakers -10, with a total of 189. If a $100 bet is placed on the Lakers -10 with a 1/2 point buy, the player has a bet on the Lakers -9 1/2 points, and must put up $120 to win $100, instead of the usual $110 to win $100. If the player, for example, requests a full 1 point buy to move the point spread down to -9, he/she would have to put up $130 to win $100.

Conversely, the bettor may also buy points on the Trailblazers side, and get the line at plus 10 1/2 or 11 points, with the same increase in vigorish.

Bettors may also buy points for basketball totals. In this particular game, bettors could buy an "over" bet with a maximum line move down to 188, or an "under" wager with a maximum line move up to 190.
Point Buying up to a maximum of 2 point will be offered on all NBA and NCAA College basketball contests.

Point Buying will not be offered on halftime, quarter or moneyline bets.
