Popular Basketball Bet Types Explained

Whether you’re calling buzzer-beaters or betting on rebounds, basketball offers a wide range of thrilling betting options. Here’s your guide to the most popular basketball bet types at London Bet:

Match Winner (Money Line)
The most straightforward bet—simply pick the team you think will win.
Example: If the Lakers are 1/2 favourites and the Warriors are 17/10, a £200 bet on LA earns you £100. If you’re feeling bold, a £100 bet on Golden State returns £170 if they pull off the win.

Handicap Betting
Level the playing field with handicap betting. The bookmakers set a point spread, and you bet on whether a team will cover it.
Example: Lakers -5.5 means they must win by 6 or more points for your bet to win. Warriors +5.5? They can win outright or lose by fewer than 6 points to cover the spread.

Totals (Over/Under)
This bet focuses on the combined points total, not the winner. Bet on whether the total score will go over or under the set line.
Example: If the total is set at 215.5, betting the over means you expect 216+ total points, while betting the under means 215 or fewer.

Accumulators (Accas)
Boost your potential payout by combining multiple bets into one. All selections must win for your acca to pay out.
Example: Back Team A to win, Team B to cover the spread, and the over on another game. If all three bets hit, your acca pays out big.

Player Props
Bet on individual player performances, perfect for stat geeks and fantasy fans.
Example: Will Player X score 26+ points? Will Player Y grab 10+ rebounds?

At London Bet, every dunk, three-pointer, and block is a chance to get in on the action.

Key Tips for Basketball Betting

Knowing your bet types is just the start—having a smart strategy is what sets successful basketball punters apart. Here are a few key tips to help you place more informed bets with London Bet:

Monitor Player Injuries
Basketball might be a team effort, but one missing star can tip the balance. Always check injury reports before betting—especially if top scorers or playmakers are sidelined.

Evaluate Squad Depth
With a demanding schedule and frequent back-to-backs, fatigue matters. Teams with strong benches often maintain performance better throughout the season, especially during intense stretches.

Analyse Head-to-Head History
Some teams simply have the edge over others. Styles make matchups, so take time to review recent meetings—especially if one team tends to struggle against a particular opponent's playing style.

Home vs Away Form
Home-court advantage in basketball is no myth. Teams often thrive in front of their fans, while others falter on the road. Always weigh up a team's home and away records before betting.

Understand Game Pace
Not every team plays the same tempo. High-speed offences rack up points quickly, while defensive-minded squads slow things down. Factoring in a team’s pace can be especially useful when betting on totals or point spreads.
