Basketball Competitions Covered

Three basketball competitions are named among the key events of the sportsbook. They cover club play in North America and Europe and national teams.

  • NBA;
  • EuroLeague;
  • FIBA World Cup.

Other leagues appear in the basketball menu by country. The list of all sports is on the sports betting page.

Basketball Markets Explained

Basketball scores are high, so lines use points with a half point to avoid a push. The market name shows whether overtime counts.

Live Basketball Betting And Cash Out

The Live section takes bets on basketball games in progress. Odds change in real time as play goes on, and selected events come with a video stream.

  • lines move after each run of points;
  • Cash Out closes a bet early on events that support it;
  • the Bet Constructor combines markets of one game where it is shown.

How To Bet On Basketball At 1win

A basketball bet follows the same four steps as any bet in the sportsbook: event, market, stake and coupon. Betting with money is for adults aged 18 or older; access depends on the law of the reader's country and the operator's Terms, set out on the licence page.

  1. Sign in and top up the balance.
  2. Open Sports for pre-match or Live for running games, then pick basketball, the league and the game.
  3. Tap the odds of a market such as match winner, total points or handicap.
  4. Open the bet slip, choose single, express or system and type in the stake.
  5. Check the odds, the stake and the possible win, then confirm the coupon.

The coupon then appears in the bet history. The same steps work on other sports, for example on the football page.

Single, Express And System Bets On Basketball

The sportsbook offers three bet types, and all of them accept basketball picks. A night of NBA games can fill an express or a system with several picks.
