Basketball Leagues

NBA

The NBA is the home of Basketball in North America! It contains franchises filled with rich history such as the Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers, and the Boston Celtics to name a few. However, the entire NBA holds 30 teams split into two conferences - 15 teams in both.

Competing over 82-games, from October until April, to determine the 16 team NBA playoff bracket. Each playoff basketball game is decided via a best-of-seven series, and the playoffs continue until one team remains. This franchise is crowned NBA champions.

College Basketball (NCAAB)

Before the NBA pros hit the court, they go through the collegiate system - this is the NCAAB. Just like the NBA, you can bet on the NCAAB with LeoVegas during the season from November until April.

At the College level, you can have your pick of 32 different Division I athletic conferences, and enjoy the season-ending tournament between March and April.

Check out College Basketball Betting Guide to learn more about betting on NCAAB games.

WNBA

Similar to the NBA, the WNBA is the premiere place for women’s Basketball in North America. It holds 12 teams within two conferences - including the well-established Seattle Storm. The WNBA has a shorter season at 36 games, it still contains a thrilling eight team playoff series.

FIBA Asian Cup

Taking place every four years, the FIBA Asian cup is the prized tournament for Asian and Oceanic nations. 16 countries from the aforementioned continents go head-to-head on the court with four groups of four in the preliminary round.

Teams who finished first advance, while teams who ended the preliminary round in second and third place enter the elimination round. The four winners from the elimination round combine with the four group winners to create the quarterfinals. Then it is a single elimination tournament to decide the Asian Cup crown.

PBA

The PBA is the basketball offering from the Philippines. It is a 12-team competition which can end with three separate winners - a winner of each of the three conferences. The most prestigious conference to enjoy is the Philippine cup.

Basketball Betting Lines

Bet on who you think will win with the Moneyline betting on LeoVegas. Simply select the team you believe will win, and if it comes in, you’ve successfully betted on the Moneyline.

For an Over/Under selection, you wager against a certain statistic and whether you believe it will be above or below that number. Think a certain player will dominate three-pointers, you’d select the over on three-pointers in the game for that player.

Ever had a hunch on whether two teams were going to have a high scoring, back-and-forth encounter? Then Totals could be the best bet for you. Totals is placing a bet on the amount of points both teams will combine for in the game.

Placing a bet on the margin of victory within Basketball is known as Point Spread betting. If a team is valued at -3 on the spread, that team has to win by four or more, it places a virtual deficit on the team. However, if a team is +3, they’d have to lose by less than three or win the game to cover the spread.

Placing an Outright/Futures wager is selecting the outcome of the entire league season. With Basketball, if you believed the Golden State Warriors will win the NBA Finals, placing a bet on them would be an outright.

Partnering up multiple wagering selections on the same bet is known as a Parlay. For a parlay to be successful, each of the individual bets placed would have to come in. A parlay bet has to contain at least two selections.

If you make a bet on whether something will occur in the game, regardless of the result, this is a Prop Bet. In Basketball, these are usually statistical selections surrounding a player or team, for example, choosing who’d be the scorer of the first basket is viewed as a prop bet.

A Teaser bet is very similar to parlays. You make two or more selections on a single bet, and you edit the point spread for each of the games.
