Legendary collegiate programs such as the Duke Blue Devils, UCLA Bruins, North Carolina Tarheels, Kentucky Wildcats UConn Huskies and more battle it out in a month-long, one-and-done basketball tournament to crown a champion every year.

Basketball is an exciting sport to bet on with four quarters of action, plus overtime, there are numerous ways to place bets on outcomes of basketball games, seasons, championships and more. At Stake's sportsbook, there are many opportunities to bet basketball and parlay in your bet slip such as:
Moneyline: The simplest form of bet - picking the outright winner of a head to head content between two basketball teams. Moneyline odds a weighted based on how likely one team would beat the other for a moneyline bet. Read our moneyline betting guide to learn more.
Handicap: A more sophisticated betting option in which different odds are based on a handicap of points (i.e. +3.5) to the underdog team. As basketball only involves scores of 2 and 3 points (1 point for free throws) the scoring range is quite intuitive for fans of the sport. Our handicap betting guide explains this in more detail.
Over/Under: Basketball is a high scoring game, so betting on a total score of a game is a popular betting option for punters. Combining this betting option with winner + over/under is also popular to get better odds for a basketball bettor with a feel of the gameplay. Discover our over/under betting guide for more.
Winning Margin: Similar to handicap, winning margin pick an outright winner and the margin they win by. The mechanisms of professional basketball are interesting, in which close scoring games slow down in the fourth quarter due to the foul penalty in which scores could remain tight or get out of hand if the winning team hits their free throws.
Overtime: Basketball is a game for winners - no draws or ties. In the event of a tied score in regulation, games go into an overtime period until a winner is declared. This is a simple bet - either overtime happens or it doesn't. Nerves alert: buzzer-beating shots can make or break a bet slip.
Quarters/Half: Basketball is broken into four quarters (two halves) of action, in which a variety of live bets are available, including which team wins the quarter/half (or draw), handicap, winning margin as well as odd/even.
Player Props: Basketball is a superstar driven sport and with a 5 vs 5 sport like basketball, there are multiple player props you can bet on during a game .
