Basketball Betting at BetMGM UK
From buzzer-beaters to slam dunks, online basketball betting at BetMGM UK brings you fast-paced action and world-class markets at your fingertips.
Follow the NBA, WNBA, EuroLeague or domestic leagues and you'll find premium odds and unforgettable ways to bet on basketball.
Basketball Betting Odds
Basketball betting odds give you a clear snapshot of both potential payouts and how a team is expected to perform. Odds under Evens (e.g. 4/5) typically point to the favourite (teams expected to win), while odds over Evens (e.g. 11/10) suggest an underdog, offering higher returns if they pull off the upset.
These odds aren’t fixed. They shift over time based on factors like team news, form, injuries and how the market is reacting.
The odds you see reflect the latest picture, helping you make timely and informed bets on every game.
Popular Basketball Betting Markets
At BetMGM UK we offer a wide range of markets for online basketball betting, including pre-match and in-play. These include:
- Moneyline: Back either team to win the game outright. Straightforward and ideal for those looking for a direct result.
- Point Spread: A classic for balancing uneven matchups. The spread gives one side a points advantage or deficit to even the playing field.
- Handicap: Similar to point spreads, handicap markets adjust the margin to increase risk and return, available across full games, halves, and quarters.
- Total Points: Wager on whether the total combined score will be over or under a set line. Team-specific totals are also available.
- Winning Margin: Predict the size of a team’s win, with set ranges like 1–5, 6–10, and 26 or more.
- First Field Goal Scorer: Take a shot at who scores first. A quick-hit market for confident picks.
- Top Points Scorer: Bet on which player will score the most points in the game.
- Player Points: Back a player to score over a certain threshold. Options range from 10+ all the way to 45+ points.
- Player Specials: Bet on combined totals like 20+ points, rebounds & assists, or player props such as ‘to record a double-double’ (double-digits in two of the stated categories).
- Match Parlays: Build a multi-leg basketball bet from the same game by combining markets like Moneyline, Player Points and Total Points.
- Quarter and Half Markets: Bet on outcomes within specific quarters or halves. Totals, spreads or which team will lead.
Basketball Accumulators
Want to raise the stakes? Basketball accumulators let you combine multiple selections into a single bet, all added directly to your betslip. Each pick must win for the accumulator to land.
By linking two or more bets, your odds multiply, boosting the potential payout far beyond what you'd get from single bets. You can combine markets from one game or stack picks across multiple fixtures.
Bet on Basketball Leagues
From iconic franchises to rising stars, BetMGM UK covers basketball leagues from every corner of the globe. Whether you're backing a powerhouse or spotting value in lesser-known matchups, you'll find premium markets on offer.
Bet on the NBA, the world's most-watched basketball league, or jump into SLB and EuroLeague action, where European clubs battle it out for glory.
You’ll also find odds on competitions such as the ACB (Spain), BSL (Turkey) and the FIBA Champions League, offering opportunities to wager across a packed calendar of global basketball fixtures.
Wherever the tip-off happens, BetMGM brings world-class basketball betting to your fingertips.
Basketball Betting FAQs
It’s simple. Sign in to your BetMGM UK account, head to the basketball section, and explore a wide selection of leagues and markets. Choose your bet, add it to your betslip, set your stake and place your wager.
You can add up to 12 selections in a single betslip. Combine them into an accumulator or build a custom combo. It’s entirely up to you.
If a market includes overtime, it will say so clearly. Always check the market description before placing your bet.
Over/under bets ask whether the combined total points (or a player’s stat line) will be over or under a specified number. For example, betting over 205.5 means you need 206 points or more for a win.
In American odds, a “+” indicates a bet with odds over Evens (often tied to the underdog). e.g. The Indiana Pacers are +320 to win their next game, showing that they are a betting underdog.
In player stats markets, it means “or more.” So 20+ points means the player must score 20 or more for the bet to win.
