Basketball Betting Tips

1. Forget about your favorite team. If you’re only going to bet on your favorite team you might as well just quit right now. Betting on the team you like or the one you would like to win is just wrong. You have to keep your cool and think objectively and logically about who has the better odds, who is in the better shape, and the thousands of other factors that contribute to a team winning or losing.
2. Be informed. Small details make big differences, so you should always take some time and learn as much as you can about the two teams involved in the game. No matter what you do, no matter what game you’re betting on, there is absolutely no reason why you shouldn’t invest some time into research. Is one of the teams playing their third game of the week? Then they might be more tired than their opponents. Is the moral of one of the teams is lower, again, the opposition might have an advantage.
3. Keep a lookout for the value bets. When betting basketball online you should look at the sportsbooks and find the bets they’re currently promoting. Not all people are hardcore sports bettors and they don’t afford to bet on every single game, that’s why you should go for the cherry picked ones!
4. Don’t be easily influenced in your bets. Most of the times, betting trends are a great way for you to create an opinion about the upcoming matches and games, but they don’t have to always be accurate. So pay attention to betting trends, but always take them with a grain of salt.
5. Discipline! Don’t bet on every game that seems interesting. The best thing to do is to create a betting budget and stick to it. Whatever you do, don’t exceed the bankroll that you set for yourself – don’t cheat, as you’re only cheating yourself!
