Centrebet offers basketball betting odds on a range of competitions, including the National Basketball Association (NBA). The pre-season games are run in October.

For the NBA competition, Centrebet Basketball betting types included picking game & competition winners, over & under a score and handicaps.
Some Nba Basketball Betting Tips:
Smart basketball betting. Some pointers - don't bet for the sake of it, keep game statistics and look for trends, bet only a small percentage (say 5%) of your wagering capital, and don't chase your losses. Remember both losing and winning streaks all come to an end!
Get to know your teams. This includes player transfers, coaching staff and home & away statistics. Keep abreast of injuries and evaluate the importance of a player's omission from the team line up. Be objective! You can work out your own rankings for each team or use various ones available in newspapers and on basketball web sites. This assists in accurately handicapping teams.
Public opinion and basketball odds. Some teams gather a large public following. This can result in a large amount of money wagered on them thus reducing the price offered by bookmakers. This can make a bet on the opposition a more attractive proposition.
Team Motivation. Be aware of the importance of a game to team members. A team that has already qualified for the final may not be motivated to win the present game. Other teams facing a must-win situation or are wishing to avenge a previous loss may be highly motivated to win.
Be selective. In most cases there are only a few good value bets happening at one time. Use your brain, not your emotions, only bet on matches that are providing a value bet. Don't just wager on your favourite team, or every game played in one round.
