First, let's address the elephant in the room: how to bet on basketball. It's essential to be at least 18 1️⃣ years old and create an account with an online bookmaker. We recommend using reputable sites like Betway, Betfair™, or Betano. 1️⃣ Once you've made your first deposit, you can navigate their user-friendly platforms and choose the bets that best fit your 1️⃣ strategy.

Now, let's explore the different types of bets:

1. Spreads: Predict the margin of victory for a team. For example, if 1️⃣ one team is favored to win by 7.5 points, a -7.5 spread bet would require them to win by 8 1️⃣ points or more for you to win.

2. Totals: Bet on the total number of points scored in a game. You 1️⃣ can wager on whether the total points will be over or under a predetermined number.

3. Moneyline: Also known as a 1️⃣ straight-up bet, this is a simple win or lose wager on a team.
