Therefore, bookmakers offer to choose different variations that can be used for the last actions.
They are often amenable to analysis and very logical, since there are various reasons why a particular team is activated at the end of a meeting. What circumstances should you pay attention to in order not to make a mistake with your choice? Let's figure it out together.

Last points scored: way
The last points in the match can be scored in just three ways: two-point, three-point, and free throw. And the right choice will depend on how the events in the match are developing.
It is worth betting on the option with a free throw only if there are equal teams. Then, at the end of the meeting, the lag between the teams remains acceptable, there is an opportunity to recoup. Very often, the losing club begins to commit tactical fouls in order to distinguish themselves and score. But this does not happen very often, since the basketball players of the lagging team are nervous and in a hurry, throwing from uncomfortable positions. The free throw is much easier to implement, which is why it becomes the last point scored in the match.
The three-point shot should be played when there are many players in the lineups who can attack from behind the arc. Then there is a chance that in the last minutes they will all be on the court. Usually, in the presence of a large number of snipers, the leaders of the meeting try to provide themselves with a more comfortable difference, so they do not hesitate to attack from behind the arc, they often get hit. The losing team is also trying to shoot three-pointers, because they are trying not to allow the defeat, not to lose face.
If there are two teams, whose basketball players are experiencing difficulties with throws from behind the arc, have a low percentage of hits, then you should safely bet that the last points will be scored with the help of a throw from an average distance. Typically, these teams rely on the play of their center forwards, who get the ball under the basket and easily score two points. If the game of both teams is structured this way, you should definitely flirt with this option.
Which team will score the last points?
The bookmaker offers to place a bet on which team will be the last to make an effective throw. Once again, it is necessary to predict exactly how events will develop in the meeting.
If an outspoken outsider and a favorite meet each other, then, as strange as it may sound, you should bet on the last scored points from a weaker team. Teams often have a significant lag before the end of the meeting. When the leader passes points into his ring, and there is a minimum amount of time, very often one of the players just stands with the ball in place until the final whistle. In such conditions, it is worth betting on the team that should be losing big enough.
If two equal teams are playing, then one should predict on the basis of who should lead at the moment of the last minute. In such cases, as mentioned above, the lagging team fouls and gives the opponent a chance to score easy points, and the basketball players are in a hurry and often cannot distinguish themselves and reduce the advantage. Therefore, in such a situation, it is the “shadow leaders” who are gaining points, who should have a slight advantage at the end of the meeting.
Last time out
Once again, you should analyze the basic situation when one team is obviously stronger than the other. Then, at the end of the match, it makes no sense for the leaders to take a time-out, since everything develops according to her scenario, there is no need to try to bring down the pace and rhythm. But the lagging team is trying to make at least some adjustments, so they resort to using time-outs. You can safely bet that the weaker team will be the last to take a break.
In addition, it is important to look at the statistics of coaches and pay attention to how often they resort to such a game element. The fact is that some experienced specialists, during someone else's time-out, competently convey all the necessary tactics for the next attacks, so they do not need to use their break. They save him for various unforeseen situations, so they often stay with him until the very end of the match.
Recent fouls / free throws
Quite related rates as they overlap with each other. It must be said right away that it is only necessary to bet on these variations if there is firm confidence in a small gap between the teams by the end of the match and the need for a tactical foul. The main problem is that if there is no way between the teams and there is no way to win back, then both teams very rarely resort to fouls, the referees may whistle a careless blow to the hands or other inaccurate actions of the players are interpreted as fouls. In this case, it is difficult to calculate whose share the latter will have.
If there is confidence that the team will win, but with a minimal margin, then you should bet on its last scored free kick and the last foul from the opponents. The lagging team will definitely foul to use any chance to close the gap. It makes no sense for the leaders to disrupt the attack with a foul, they try to defend competently and try to make the opponent's throw as difficult as possible.
Last two-point / three-point shot
With three-point shots, everything is very clear. Firstly, you need to bet only on the team that has basketball players in its cage who can charge from beyond the arc. If one player performs all long-range throws, then at a certain moment he may simply be on the bench and not leave at the end of the meeting. Therefore, it is advisable to choose teams that rely on their own snipers.
The second important question is whether the team needs to recoup at a fast pace. Very often outsiders start shooting from behind the arc to try to close the gap. If there are performers in the line-up who are capable of making such an attempt, you can safely bet that the team will be able to distinguish themselves with the last three-point in their account. In addition, it is advisable to use this option only if the opponent does not have very strong performers of throws from behind the arc. They can even cast in the last second and from awkward positions to improve their stats.
If three-point shots are better suited to outsiders, then favorites of the match often differ in the last two-point. While the opponent is trying to get back into the game and catch up, leaders tend to take the path of least resistance. They bring the ball to their center, who calmly and without nerves scores “out of paint”. For this reason, we can confidently say that the favorite of the fight has a better chance of being the last to score an effective shot from an average distance.
conclusions
When analyzing bets on the latest game events, it is first of all important to pay attention to the status of the opponents in the fight, whether there are obvious favorites and outsiders. Another key point is the style of play of the teams and the specifics of coaching. For example, some teams practically do not use throws from beyond the arc at all, while others use time-outs only as a last resort. Another important circumstance is the individual skill of some performers, who can decide the fate of the moment alone in order to improve their statistics. Well, according to a pleasant tradition, we wish you good luck with your bets.
