  • FIBA World Championship

  • African Championship

  • European Championship

  • Asian Championship

  • American Championship

  • Oceanian Championship

  • Arab Basketball Championship

  • Olympic Basketball Tournament

  • Youth World and Continental Championships

Matches involving national teams do not happen too often, so the main interest of active fans is focused on club tournaments. They are held regularly, thus providing basketball fans and bettors with their favorite entertainment. Among the popular tournaments in which clubs participate, betting enthusiasts are most interested in:

  • North American NBA

  • German Bundesliga

  • Spanish Liga ACB

  • Italian Serie A

  • English BBL

These championships feature the most famous clubs, with world-class players competing. Therefore, good odds with low margins are available for betting on them.

North American NBA

Among all the basketball tournaments, the NBA is the most popular. The championship, which includes clubs from the United States and Canada, consists of two parts: the regular season and the playoffs. The league consists of 30 clubs divided into two conferences and six divisions. From October to April, they play in a round-robin format, playing 82 games each. Then the playoffs begin. The top 8 clubs from each conference advance to the playoffs. They play in a knockout format. Each stage of the NBA schedule involves a series of 4 to 7 games, with the first team to win 4 games declared the winner. The winner of the NBA playoffs is awarded the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy.

Basketball is one of the most popular sports in the USA, attracting a huge amount of attention from fans, sponsors, and broadcasters. Therefore, the NBA is the richest tournament in the world in this discipline. Thanks to this fact, the league can afford to maintain the strongest basketball players not only from the USA and Canada but from all over the world. Playing here is the dream of any athlete.

The high interest in the NBA has led to the popularity of betting on it. Almost all basketball betting sites offer the widest line for the championship with the best odds, low margins, and high coefficients, and MelBet is no exception. Most basketball betting enthusiasts prefer to place NBA bets in the pre-match mode. This is because due to the significant difference in time zones between America and Africa or Europe, the matches are held at inconvenient times – late at night.

German Basketball Bundesliga

The German Basketball Bundesliga, abbreviated as BBL, is one of the strongest national championships in Europe. It features 18 teams that compete in a season consisting of two parts. Initially, they play in a round-robin system, facing each opponent both home and away, for a total of 34 games. This part of the competition lasts from September to May.

The top 8 teams from the regular season advance to the playoffs, which take place from May to June. They compete in a series of matches, following the knockout competition Olympic scheme, playing up to 5 games (best of 5) against each other at each stage. The season's winner, victorious in the final, becomes the German champion. The two weakest teams from the regular season are relegated to the ProA division, with the winner and the runner-up of ProA replacing them.

The strongest teams in the Bundesliga for basketball are:

  • Bayer Leverkusen (14 championships)

  • Alba Berlin (11)

  • Brose Bamberg (9)

  • Gießen 46ers (4)

  • Saturn Cologne

While the German Championship is less extravagant than the NBA, it is one of Europe's strongest tournaments. Therefore, betting on its matches is highly popular. MelBet offers a wide range of betting options for these matches, including not only the main but also numerous additional markets. These bets are characterized by low margins and high odds, allowing for profitable basketball betting.

Spanish Liga ACB Championship

Liga ACB is the top division of Spanish basketball. Since 2017, it has featured 18 teams in its season. Competitions take place from September to June. In the first part, lasting until May, teams play in two rounds in a standard scheme (34 matches each), facing each opponent both home and away. The top eight clubs from the regular season proceed to the playoffs in May, while the two weakest teams are relegated to LEB Oro, the second division of Spanish basketball. The winner of the playoffs becomes the Spanish champion.

The strongest basketball clubs in Spain are Barcelona (17 wins) and Real Madrid (14). They are followed by Baskonia (4 championships) and Joventut (2). Other clubs have won the league significantly fewer times, with nine teams winning more than one championship.

Despite not being the most competitive league (parallels can be drawn with Spanish football), the national championship is popular both within and beyond Spain. It offers exciting matches and is convenient to watch for fans from Tunisia due to the shared time zones between Europe and Africa. This popularity also extends to live betting on Liga ACB, making it a favorite among basketball enthusiasts.

At MelBet, you can place bets on all main and additional outcomes of Spanish basketball championship matches. Both pre-match and live betting options are available for all regular season and playoff matches.

Italian Serie A Championship

Serie A is the top division of Italian basketball and one of the oldest tournaments in the world for this sport. The tournament features 16 teams, playing from September to May. Teams compete in a round-robin format, playing each opponent twice, home and away.

At the end of the season, the playoffs are held, with the top 8 teams from the regular competitions qualifying. The worst team from the main stage is relegated to Serie A2, with the winner of Serie A2 taking its place. In the playoffs, the best teams determine the champion. They start with the quarterfinals, which consist of a series of matches up to 3 victories (maximum 5 games). In the semifinals and finals, teams play up to 5 wins (up to 7 games).

The strongest club in Serie A is Olimpia Milano, which has been crowned champion 30 times. Virtus Bologna follows, with 16 titles. Varese ranks third with 10 trophies. Other clubs have won significantly fewer championships, with 9 teams winning more than one title.

Betting on Italian basketball is popular not only in Italy but also far beyond its borders. Therefore, bookmakers from around the world actively cover them, including all matches and providing extensive odds. At MelBet, you will also find a wide selection of outcomes for which fans of the Italian basketball championship can place their bets.

British Basketball League (BBL) Championship

The British Basketball League (BBL), not to be confused with the Bundesliga using a similar abbreviation, is the largest basketball tournament in the United Kingdom. It operates on a franchise model, similar to that of the United States, and does not have the traditional exchange of teams between leagues typical of European sports. That is, these are closed competitions with a fixed lineup of participants.

The tournament features 10 clubs, which are co-owners. They play in the regular season, which runs from September to April. Teams play four rounds, which total 36 matches. The winner of the tournament becomes the champion of Britain. The top eight representatives of the season qualify for the playoffs, which take place in April. Quarterfinals and semifinals are held in a series format of up to 3 wins, while the final consists of a single match.

Matches involving the most popular basketball teams (both clubs and national teams) consistently attract large audiences in the arenas and front of screens. At MelBet, these games are available for betting in pre-match and live markets. You will find a wide selection of matches involving popular teams and good odds for betting on them.

Basketball Betting Odds

Basketball is a highly popular sport worldwide, so most bookmakers set a small margin for basketball bets. Good margins are considered to be around 5% and no more than 10%. At MelBet, you will find popular matches with commissions even lower than 5%, allowing you to find profitable odds.

Basketball is a sport where there are no draws, and a match must necessarily end with one side winning. Therefore, compared to other disciplines (such as football), the average odds on main outcomes here are slightly lower. However, many secondary markets are available for betting, which can sometimes be more interesting. For example, the high-scoring nature of basketball games (scoring 100 points per game is not uncommon) allows for profitable total bets. This applies to both entire matches and individual periods or time intervals.

Comparing odds for basketball in pre-match and live markets, you'll find that in the latter, despite the higher margin, profitable offers are more common. However, odds change dynamically every minute, so to find good odds, you need to carefully monitor the game and changes in the odds. At MelBet, you have access to live graphical broadcasts showing real-time events on the court and an automatically updating game schedule for this purpose.

Popular Bet Types for Basketball

The schedule of any basketball match depends on its status and popularity: the higher the status, the more markets are open for betting. The main outcomes in any game are:

  • Winner. Predict which team will win the match.

  • Overtime. Predict whether there will be overtime or if the game will end in regular time.

  • 1X2 in regular time. Predict how the match will end in regular time: with a victory for team 1, team 2, or a draw.

  • Total. Predict the total number of points scored by both teams: it should be over or under the chosen number.

  • Handicap. In such bets, you need to predict who will win the match after subtracting or adding a certain number of points to the actual result, chosen by the player.

  • Team Points. Similar to the total, but considering individual team scores. You need to predict whether each of the participating teams will score more or fewer points than the chosen number.

  • Digit in the Score. Predict whether the chosen digit will be in the final score of the match.

  • Quarter Wins. Predict how many quarters the chosen team will win.

  • Quarter Totals. Similar to the total, but predicting the total score of the chosen period.

  • Winner of the Quarter and the Match. The player's task is to predict simultaneously who will win the chosen quarter and who will be the overall winner of the match.

Among the listed bet types, bets on the match winner, the winner with a handicap, and various totals are the most popular. Most of the bets made by MelBet customers fall on these markets.

Strategies and Tricks for Successful Basketball Betting

There is no way to beat the bookmaker with a 100% guarantee (otherwise sports betting would lose its meaning), but there are many methods to increase the effectiveness of betting. Winning more frequently and significantly will be helped by basketball betting tips:

  • Do not bet the entire amount at once; wager it in portions of 5–10% of your bankroll.

  • Avoid excessive accumulators with a large number of events, as the risks are very high.

  • Analyze news, statistics, and other information before the match to realistically assess the strengths of the sides.

  • Give preference to bets with handicaps, totals, and other secondary markets, as they often offer high odds for likely outcomes.

  • Use various strategies devised by experienced players.

  • Use basketball forecasts from experienced authors and learn to make your own.

Among the most popular basketball betting strategies are:

  • Betting on the outsider to win the quarters.

  • Betting on the clear favorite with a negative handicap.

  • Pursuit on the quarter total.

  • Odd/even in quarters.

  • Totals of periods and the game based on statistical analysis.

Regardless of the betting strategy, the main thing is to study the information and make accurate predictions. If you want to bet on basketball not just for entertainment, but to earn money, it's impossible to succeed without this.
