Basketball Betting Tips & Strategy

• You must have enough love for basketball to watch (or at least keep up with) the entire season or tournament. This will help you understand roster changes, new draft picks, injuries, etc. You cannot understand any of this if you watch or follow the NBA, NCAA, or any other pro or con league for a few casual hours a week.
• Bettors in the UK should look everywhere online to find the best basketball betting sites. You should look for sites that are favorable for betting against the spread, and even if you're not betting on the outcome, you should look for sites that are favorable for betting on the over/under lines, as those lines seem to fluctuate the most. Once you've found a few sites that seem good, sign up. Even if you only plan to use one as your main basketball betting site, the free money and credits you get just for signing up will make it worth your while.
• Home court advantage is a huge advantage in a sport like basketball. When the home team is playing, the crowd is vocal and exuberant in their support. It is almost like having an extra player on the floor, and the refs are not going to call as many fouls against a team in its own house. Bet on the home team to win.
• Wager on individual player prop bets, such as picking James Harden to score more than 50 points in a game. When a player has a good enough season, he's in the running for MVP (Most Valuable Player) - and scoring a lot of points certainly helps a player's case.
