Wagering Pro Basketball OnlineIn wagering pro basketball games, there are several methods of betting that novice bettors should be aware of before they begin. These methods of wagering pro basketball games include straight betting, money line betting, parlays, future wagers, and specialty bets. Using one, several, or all of these methods allows you to make more money and enjoy the games even more than you already do.The first type of basketball wagering is the straight bet. Let's say you look on the wagering line and see that Denver is favored to beat Seattle by 10 points. This is commonly known as the point spread. In basketball wagering parlance, this basically means that you need to beat the spread in order to win. Say you pick the Denver to win the game. In order for you to win the bet, Denver needs to beat Seattle by more than 10 points. If they win by exactly ten points, you push with the house and no money changes hands. If Denver wins by less than 10 points or loses the game, the house wins the bet. On the other hand, if you bet on Seattle to win, that means that as long as Seattle can lose by less than 10 points, you will win the bet. This means that even if you think Denver will win the game, if you don't think they will win by at least 10 points, you should bet on Seattle.

Money line betting is a little bit different in that the point spread becomes irrelevant; the only thing that matters is the final outcome of the game. Let's say that Denver has a money line of -170 and Seattle's money line reads +120. This means that if you pick Denver to win, you need to bet $170 to win $100. If you pick Seattle to win, for every $100 you bet, you win $120. Click here to buy basketball picks from the World's Top Sports Handicappers!

Parlays, future wagers, and specialty bets are not much different then these. An example of a specialty bet would be to bet on a particular player versus another player. For instance, if Miami and the Lakers are playing, you could place a specialty bet picking Kobe Bryant to score more points than Shaquile O'Neal. Similarly, a futures bet is a bet on a game that happens once a year, like a championship game. You can bet on, say, San Antonio to win it all this season. Lastly, you can bet on a bunch of teams to win a particular day, up to 15. Depending on how many of your teams win, your winnings go up; up to a maximum payout of 1/1200 if all 15 of your teams win.
