> Basketball Betting Line

Basketball is one of the most popular choices for sports bettors, whether it's the NBA action on the pro hardwood or the thrill of college hoops and the basketball betting line for March Madness. Behind football, basketball is the second-most bet sport in North America. The night-to-night action of the NBA and NCAAB keeps the betting public enthralled and the up-and-down pace makes hoops one of the best sports to watch and wager on.

Like football, the majority of basketball bettors wager against the pointspread. Oddsmakers designate which team is most likely to win – the favorite – and assign an estimated number of points they should win by – the spread. Basketball bettors must decide whether the favorite will win by more than that expected number or if the underdog will keep it closer than oddsmakers predict.

The other common side of the basketball betting line is the total. Oddsmakers calculate the estimated total number of points scored in a game by both team and bettors must wager on if the final score will go Over or Under that predicted number of points.

The popularity of betting on basketball has also opened up a huge market of alternative wagers as well. Hoop heads can choose from player and team proposition bets, spreads and totals by the quarter or half, as well as futures odds on which teams will win their respective division, conference or championship.
