What are the theories of basketball betting?
There are many strategies for betting on basketball, given the high popularity of this sport. In this review, we have collected only the main ones related to betting on basic things, like handicap and total. At the same time, the high popularity of these strategies determines the fact that all of them have been repeatedly tested by users.
Is there a win-win basketball betting strategy?
No, such a strategy does not exist and cannot exist. Even taking into account what is written above – about the presence of a large number of proven strategies over the years, none of them guarantees victory, and, moreover, requires the most careful analysis and accuracy in work.
Match TB Betting
Basketball matches are highly productive. Rare matches have a total of less than 100, in the NBA the lion's share of matches exceeds 200 in total. Sometimes teams can score 20-30 points within a minute. All this is conducive to betting on TB. For example, it is profitable to bet more on total in successful leagues and competitions, and such bets are also appropriate during the 4th quarter, or when the big teams dry up the game and did not differ for 1-2 minutes.
TM match betting
The opposite of TB is the strategy of betting on total less. Few points are scored in the matches of children's, women's competitions, in the grassroots leagues. It is also profitable to bet on TM in the matches of grassroots teams, which in some segment very much interrupted the total, and it has grown very much. At this moment, it is profitable to make a bet on TM, the entire match can be played very effectively by grassroots teams in very rare cases.
Third Quarter Outsider Winning Bets
There is a tendency in basketball when the favorite of the match, who confidently wins the first 2 quarters of the match, may lose the third.
This is due to the fact that the favorite team wants to take care of their leaders, give them rest, as well as the desire to give time on the court to the second numbers of the team. In such an environment, the outsider has an excellent chance to win the third quarter, or at least lose it with a minimal difference. Both will be offered at high odds.
It is not too difficult to understand that the favorite can lose the third quarter. In this case, the change in the score in it will be very different from the first two, in which the complete dominance of the favorite was observed: in the third, he will score points himself much less often, and allow the opponent a lot. This will be the signal for the bet on the victory of the outsider in the 3rd quarter.
You can also bet on an outsider to win in the quarter by catching up
4th quarter TB betting strategy
According to statistics, the 4th quarter in basketball is the most productive. This is due to the fact that in the final 10-minute (12-minute in the NBA), teams turn on maximum revs in the hope of catching an opponent by surprise and snatching victory in the match. Accordingly, the speed of movement of the players and the ball on the court increases many times, as well as the calculation of the number of attacks, throws, fouls, which inevitably leads to an increase in the total.
In the 4th quarter, it is profitable to bet on TB a few minutes before the end, if both teams have fouled and each of them claims to win. The best bet in such a situation is the men's scoring league. It is necessary to wait until the teams carry out several attacks in a row in a row, and put on TB.

Odd / Even Betting Strategy
Odd / even betting is relevant and popular in almost every sport, and basketball is no exception. The probability of one or a second outcome in basketball is approximately 50/50 at the beginning and during the match, and can vary greatly towards the end, depending on the current score. You can bet on even or odd in almost any match, because it is unrealistic to calculate in advance what will be the result. But you can slightly increase your chances. To do this, we find a match in which the first two quarters ended with odd or even. In the 3rd quarter we bet on the opposite outcome.
If the bet is lost, it doubles the amount and find the next suitable match, where it was odd or even twice in a row, and again bet on the opposite outcome.
Here's a simple strategy. Read more about odd / even betting in basketball in a separate article.
Shchukin's strategy
This strategy suggests, by calculating the average values of totals for each of the teams, taking into account certain adjustments, to determine the total of the match. If the resulting total is very different from the one offered by the bookmakers, it may be profitable to bet on it. A detailed description of the strategy can be found here. We recommend that you read the description and examples of working on the strategy, because she really belongs to the category of the best.
Total stacks depending on the total of the first half
The outcome of the first half of a basketball game can provide rich food for thought and an abundance of betting options for the remainder of the match. Especially if the bettor has memorized the pre-match line variation. The first half of the match can end in such a way that the total of the match can either go up very much or go down very much. In the first case, the second half will most likely turn out to be less effective and it is reasonable to bet on TM in it. In the second case, on the contrary, the teams cannot dry up the game for the whole match (although sometimes this happens), and most likely they will break through in the third or fourth quarter (or in two at once). Accordingly, you can bet on TB of the 2nd half or individual quarters.
Of course, before making bets, you need to study the capabilities of the teams and understand how their current form and opponents can allow the match to be shifted in one direction or another.

Handicap betting strategy
The good thing about basketball is that the range of results with which the match can end is very large. For example, if the favorite is in the mood, he can beat the outsider 110: 50, and if he plays the fool, he will win 88:72. As you can see, the difference is huge. Often times, changes in the team's mood are clearly visible in live. For example, the favorite for three quarters secured a comfortable lead in the score and frankly finish the match. In such a situation, it is beneficial to bet on a positive head start.
Or the opposite situation: the favorite cannot break away in the score, but the outsider's forces begin to leave. The game begins with one wicket, we put the favorite on the minus handicap.

Favorite betting strategy
Favorite betting is always in high demand. However, the odds for it do not always look interesting. It's another matter when the favorite at the beginning of the match suddenly starts to lose. For example, the clear favorite of the meeting with a handicap (-11.5) for the match during the first quarter of the home game is behind at 8:19. The odds for his victory in this situation increased from 1.15 to 2.3. It is beneficial in such a situation to bet on the favorite to win. He will most likely make up for lost time and snatch victory.
