Basketball Betting

Ladbrokes is the home of basketball betting on the internet, with a great range of basketball odds available on all the big events. We offer match betting and handicap betting on all games, plus special basketball bets for televised games.

In handicap basketball betting, the team who has the biggest chance of winning gives the opposing team a small start, thus making the betting more exciting. For example, a basketball handicap bet on an NBA game between Chicago and Memphis might give Memphis a 7.5 point start. We also offer total points betting, when you can bet on whether the total points scored in the game will be higher or lower than a certain number.

NBA 2008 Season

The NBA is of course the biggest basketball league in the world, attracting all the planet’s top players. San Antonio Spurs were crowned kings of the basketball world following the 2006-07 season, defeating Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals. The 2007-08 finals pit the legendary LA Lakers against the team who hold the most NBA Championship titles; the Boston Celtic. We offer basketball odds for every game throughout the season, including the Play-Offs and the Finals.

International Basketball

The international game is also popular for basketball betting, with Ladbrokes providing odds for all the major championships, including the 2008 World Championships and Eurobasket 2008. Keep an eye out for our basketball odds on the 2008 Olympics.

We also offer basketball odds on all the major European leagues, with betting available on Spain’s Liga ACB, Italy’s Serie A, the Greek A1 League and many more. Plus if you prefer your basketball bet with a more continental flavour, there’s the Euroleague and the ULEB Cup, the former culminating in the ‘Final Four’; the biggest weekend in European basketball betting.
