NBA: Basketball in the World's Best League
Every player who starts playing basketball dreams of playing in the world's biggest league one day. The NBA, short for National Basketball Association, has existed since 1946 and brings together the strongest teams in North America. Currently, 30 franchises play in the NBA, and unlike our Nigerian league system, these teams neither relegate nor promote. Instead, the 82-game regular season is about reaching the playoffs, where the glory of championship awaits. While most NBA players come from the United States, over the years, more and more Europeans have achieved greatness in the USA and Canada. The best example was German exceptional talent Dirk Nowitzki, who played for the Dallas Mavericks from 1998 to 2019, winning a title and MVP award (2011). The NBA Playoffs this year start on April 15, 2023. Check our article for everything you need to know about the NBA Playoffs.
Currently, many international athletes are active in the world's best basketball league. These include German Dennis Schröder, Swiss Thabo Sefolosha, and Austrian Jakob Pöltl. The 82 games in the regular season offer you almost endless possibilities to place basketball bets and live bets on Surebet247. Things get particularly exciting afterward in the playoff series, where details often decide between victory and defeat. The league is divided into Eastern and Western Conference, with each conference playing to determine a winner before the conference champions meet in the finals.
Domestic Basketball Offers Great Betting Value
Basketball isn't just exciting across the Atlantic. Europe is home to many highly talented players too. The best leagues in Europe are generally considered to be in Turkey, Spain, Greece, and Russia. The Nigerian Basketball Premier League also offers excellent betting opportunities for local fans who want to support homegrown talent.
The EuroLeague is considered the second most important competition after the NBA. The top 18 teams compete against each other, with most starting places going to the top nations mentioned above. At Surebet247, you have numerous basketball odds to choose from, including match winners, point totals, over/under, handicaps, halftime and quarter results.
Strategy for Successful Basketball Betting
Besides the NBA and Europe's top leagues, we also cover many other leagues and cup competitions, including the WNBA. We reliably cover all important friendly matches, regular World and European Championships, and the Olympic Summer Games, where basketball plays an important role every four years.
Many betting strategies have been developed for basketball betting. You can easily use these to make your own insider tips. Statistically, for example, favorites in the NBA lose the first quarter of a game 60% of the time, even against supposed underdogs. You can either bet on the underdog to win the first quarter or wait and then use the increased favorite odds in live basketball betting.
