Basketball Gambling - College Basketball Gambling

Nothing could be easier, safer, or simpler for the avid fan than pro or college basketball gambling, right? Well, mostly. Other than knowing the ins and outs of basketball gambling jargon, i.e. parlay, teaser, straight bet, point spread and money line, there is the matter of picking the right team more often than not, and the matter of transforming your bets into profits. For the sake of convenience, here is a basketball gambling primer.

Explained in as simple a manner as possible, to parlay in basketball gambling is to bet on two or more teams or event participants. Both teams that are bet on must win in order for the parlay to pay. The only exceptions to this are in the case of a tie or a no event, in which case the parlay converts to a straight bet. As the name implies, a straight bet is a simple bet placed on one team.

A teaser is similar to a parlay in that it links multiple bets together in one. Unlike parlays, however, a teaser allows the basketball gambler to treat the linked bets as two separate wagers, at least as far as betting upon basketball point spreads is concerned. So, while both teams must still win for the bet to pay off, the basketball gambler may adjust the point spread for each team bet upon within the teaser. For example, Gary makes a two-team 4-point teaser. If either of the teams loses after applying an extra four points in Gary's favor, Gary loses the bet.

Of course knowing the terms is one thing, putting them to good use is quite another, which brings us to basketball gambling picks. How is it done? Or rather, how is it done successfully? The fact is that successful gamblers and handicappers (the people who make it their business to offer their basketball gambling picks to others via gambling websites) spend a great deal of time getting to know the various teams. They stay on top of play-by-play accounts, injuries, even the mental state of coaches and players.
