Basketball Sportsbooks – Online NBA Bookmakers

September 2, 2011

Not all online sportsbooks should be judged equal in regards to their basketball betting options. Some bookmakers only offer a few spread bets for NBA games and nothing for NCAA college basketball. A few European sports books only take wagers on FIBA basketball games, the NBA’s counterpart in the EU. There are three things a sports book has to offer in order to qualify as an excellent sportsbook for basketball betting:

  • NBA betting
  • College basketball betting
  • FIBA basketball betting

Only a few serious bookmakers can claim to offer action on all three of the major basketball leagues. Just offering lines on these leagues is only half the battle though. If they only offer some basic spreads it isn’t good enough in my book. They need to offer competitive moneylines, over/unders, prop bets, futures, teasers and pointspreads. They need to offer better lines than everyone else.

In 2011 only three sports books can claim to offer all of these things and more. Here is a list of the best sports books for basketball:

  • BetOnline
  • Bet365
  • Bodog

These three Internet sportsbooks all share on thing in common. They all offer the new in-play betting platform. In-play betting allows you to make real time prop bets on a wide range of outcomes.

You basically watch the game through their in-game platform and they will offer action on things like:

- Who will score the next basket.
- Which team will get the next 3 pointer
- Which team will get the next foul

These types of wagers cannot be offered through a regular sports book platform. I like to go through the odds and find the really juicy action. The bookmakers have to come up with these bets quickly and they make mistakes sometimes. You can win a lot of money at any of these sportsbook just by watching the in-play action.
