NBA Basketball Betting
The National Basketball Association (NBA) is the pre-eminent men's professional basketball league in North America which consists of thirty franchised member clubs, of which twenty-nine are located in the United States and one in Canada. The NBA regular season begins in the last week of October. During the regular season, each team plays 82 games, 41 each home and away. As of 2008, the NBA is one of only two of the Big 4 in North America in which teams play every other team during the regular season. Each team hosts and visits every other team at least once every season. NBA Playoffs begin in late April, with eight teams in each conference going for the Championship. The three division winners, along with the team with the next best record from the conference are given the top four seeds. The next four teams in terms of record are given the lower four seeds. With so many games against different opponents culminating in an intense playoff structure, it is no wonder Basketball Betting is one of the most popular betting options worldwide.
There are numerous ways of conducting Basketball betting. You can bet on the spread of the favoured team, or bet on the spread of the underdog team. An extremely popular, easy bet for first time NBA wagers is the under / over total bet. Total bets are popular and neutral in nature in that they do not depend on which team is favoured, but rather that both teams will score over or under a determined number of points. Money line betting in Basketball betting is another alternative which plays on the concept of a favourite versus an underdog. The team which you have wagered on simply has to win the game and a pay-out price is paid. Halftime wagering is simply a wager on the score of the first or second half of a contest. NBA parlay betting is considered an exotic bet, with the object of it being to pick a number of teams that you believe will each win their games over a given period of time. It is a bet of two or more teams or propositions in no particular order. All the teams wagered on in a parley must, however, win. A teaser is a selection of two or more teams in one wager in which the point spread is adjusted in your favour. The number of teams the number of points selected determines the pay-out odds. A future book wager is a bet which is placed on an event due to occur at some future date. There are so many different ways to wager in Basketball Betting, you're spoilt for choice.

Australia's own Andrew Bogut is a consistent force for the Milwaukee Bucks and was the first Australian to be drafted number one overall in the 2005 NBA draft.
