The new season of the National Basketball Association (NBA 2014 season) is already in its second calendar month, but the betting fever worldwide continues to raise temperatures. Current standings place Toronto Raptors, Chicago Bulls, Miami Heat, Portland Trail Blazers, Golden State Warriors, and Houston Rockets at the top of their respective divisions, while the first and last teams lead their corresponding conferences. Whether in the kick-off, in the mid-season, or the finals, you all have the right to place bets on and root for your favorite teams.
Unlike association football, basketball unlocks results that are pretty much less predictable. Nonetheless, there are numerous measures to counter this minor issue, and these ways far outnumber the problems. Follow the tips below to get the best possible payouts from your sports betting stints on arguably the world's most popular basketball league.
Avoid the bandwagon, moderately believe in trends
Just because a particular team has won in four consecutive games does not mean it will win all their other, remaining games. Similarly, the best teams in the 1980s are not necessarily the best teams of the current season. Players can also get tired and exhausted, which means that they are not always in their best form in all of their games. Sometimes, it is best to root for the dark horses. The top dogs shoulder a truckload of pressure which could take a toll on their performance. The minnows, meanwhile, are more consistent at losing than on winning. Dark horses, those who are neither the favorites nor the obvious losers, often pull off surprises and give better payouts to bettors.
Be rational, do not succumb to impulsesWhen betting on NBA, the normal behavior for bettors is to place their wagers on their favorite teams. This is not necessarily bad, especially when the team they support is indeed excellent. However, even the mightiest heroes have fallen a few times in their battles, losing their energy along the way or lacking in inspiration despite their massive following. Try weighing things out when you bet online. Be wise in your judgments. When you see your favorite team going less effective, then you better place your wager on their opponents. As a punter, you should place your welfare first above anything else.
Observe, research, and analyze
Basketball betting is a tricky form of sports betting. Hence, the best way to cope with its unpredictability is to bet only when the value is on your side. After handicapping all the games on the day's card, there are often times a couple per day in which the odds charts have made a weak line. Try taking advantage of this. More often than not, this leads to a win.
