Betting basketball is tough and is very difficult to understand why or when a team should and will win. In basketball there are various betting possibilities: betting the spread, over/under, win out right, and half time bets. Knowing and getting familiar with teams and tendencies is very important to ensure your bet will be successful.
For Example the Los Angels Clippers play the Golden State Warriors. Both of these teams score but play no defense. So look out for the over/under number. Lets just say that the number is 205. Meaning by the end of the game with the two scores combined between the Clippers and the Warriors needs to be 205. Knowing that this number is very low you would bet the over. Because of the lack of defense of these two teams.
The reason basketball is so tuff to bet on is because of garbage time. Garbage time is when the coach has taken out all his starters and put his bench players in. This can ruin a spread or even an over/under. Because of the quality of basketball you have for seen with both teams playing their starting lineups the entire game especially the last 2 minutes.
Be careful on trap games like a back/back night for a team. Meaning if a team plays one night and then the next night do not expect the team to be well rested or play at an optimum level.
Watch out for buzzer beaters there just gut wrenching.
