What Each Basketball Market Actually Covers
Basketball betting runs wider than most people expect. The point spread asks whether a team covers a margin, while the moneyline is a straight win pick with odds that shift right up to tip-off. Game totals — often called the over/under — set a combined score and you pick whether the final lands above or below it. Player props zero in on
individual stats: points, assists, rebounds, or three-pointers for a named player in a specific game. Same-game parlays let you stack two or more of these markets from a single contest into one combined wager, with odds that multiply across each leg. Each market type rewards a different read of the matchup.
