Basketball season is a big time for betting in Canada. The sport has become one of the most popular sports in the country since regulated online sports betting became legal in Ontario.

With so many games packed into each week of the season, there are hundreds of basketball outcomes you can wager on. Betiton Canada is here to show you how. This guide to basketball betting covers the most popular bet types, odds, and the biggest events in basketball.

How Does Basketball Betting Work?

Before you wager on any basketball and NBA betting markets, it’s important to understand the role odds play in your online wagering experience.

We price odds by estimating true probabilities and adjusting for betting patterns. We apply this approach consistently across all basketball lines to keep pricing fair and valuable.

Basketball Betting Odds

When engaging in NBA betting in Canada, you can also use our odds to calculate the implied probability of a particular event occurring. Here’s the formula:

(1 / decimal odds) * 100 = implied probability

Say you wanted to back the Toronto Raptors to beat the Minnesota Timberwolves in the NBA at a price of 1.86 with Betiton Canada.

In this case, you’d divide 1 by 1.86 to create a value of 0.537, which should then be multiplied by 100 to get an implied probability of 53.7% that the Raptors will win. Use this to compare prices with your own estimates.

At Betiton Canada, we use decimal odds. This shows your total pay-out per $1 wagered, including your stake. For example, a $10 bet at odds of 5.00 returns $50 ($40 profit plus $10 stake).

Once you understand odds, you can compare markets and build your online basketball betting slips. Here’s how to place a bet at Betiton:

1. Access your Betiton Canada account using the ‘Log In’ button on the left-hand side of the home page.
2. Select ‘Basketball’ from the drop-down menu.
3. Browse specific tournaments and markets from our menu.
4. Click selected outcomes to add them automatically to the betslip.
5. Confirm your preferred wager types and stake amounts.
6. Click the ‘Place Bets’ button to place your bet.

Basketball Betting Markets Explained

Markets are the outcomes you bet on, such as who will win or lose, or which team will score the most by halftime. Let’s look at a few of the hundreds of online basketball betting markets available to you at Betiton:

• Moneyline Bets: This is the most basic basketball betting market, where you bet on who might win or lose a game. which requires you to wager on which team will win a particular match.
• Futures: Also known as outright betting, this describes a longer-term market where you’ll pick the winner of a tournament such as the NBA.
• Handicapping: Handicapping, also known in North America as spread betting, requires the favourite to overcome a set points deficit to provide higher odds for bettors. For handicap basketball betting to be successful, your pick will have to record a total points tally that overcomes this deficit.
• Totals Betting: Totals (over/under) usually refer to the game’s combined points. We set several lines; you pick one and decide if the final total will be over or under it.
• Points Range: If you want to bet on basketball or NBA winning margins, you can choose from various points ranges based on the nature of the competing sides and create further value in match wagering.
• Race to 10, 20, or 30 Points: This is a popular example of live betting, as you’ll have to bet on which side will be the first to score 10, 20, or 30 points in a game.
• Prop Betting: This is focused on player and team performance stats and unlocks a huge range of markets. It includes markets, such as who will record the most points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, or three-pointers in a particular game.
• Odd/Even Points: This is a fun but completely random betting market, in which you’ll wager on whether the cumulative number of points scored in a match will add up to an odd or even value.
• Half-Time/Full-Time Result: With this market, you’ll bet on the team leading at half-time and the team winning at full-time in a single, higher-priced wager.
• NBA MVP Betting: This is a futures bet that applies to individual players, as you’ll wager on the identity of the NBA performer who will win the season’s MVP award.

The Biggest Basketball Competitions You Can Bet on at Betiton Canada

While the NBA makes sports betting on basketball so popular in Canada, the country is also home to the National Basketball League of Canada (NBLC).

Global basketball leagues run between October and June, including the NBA, NBL, and the EuroLeague. The latter is the elite competition for the best players and teams on the continent.

As the best basketball betting site in Canada, we cover a huge range of tournaments and events, each of which is home to hundreds of betting markets.

🏀 Basketball Competition	🏟️ Place	📅 Dates
✔️ FIBA Basketball World Cup	Qatar	27 August – 12 September 2027
✔️ National Basketball League of Canada (NBLC)	Canada	September 2024 – February 2025
✔️ National Basketball Association (NBA)	US & Canada	October 2024 – April 2025 (regular season) | April – June 2025 (playoffs)
✔️ NCAA College Basketball	US	18 March 2025 – 7 April 2025
✔️ EuroLeague	Europe	3 October 2024 – 11 April 2025 (regular season) | April – May 2025 (playoffs)

FIBA Basketball World Cup Betting

The International Basketball Federation (FIBA) is the sport’s global governing body, and every four years, it hosts the FIBA Basketball World Cup. This features the best 32 teams in the world, while the next iteration will take place in Qatar between August 27^th and September 12^th 2027.

The 2023 competition was hosted in Asia and saw Germany lift their first title, while the United States and former Yugoslavia are the tournament’s most successful sides with five wins each. Popular betting markets include backing the outright winners and individual match wagering.

NBLC Betting

The National Basketball League of Canada (NBLC) was established in 2011. The league features several teams competing for the title each year, though the number of participants may vary. Of course, the Toronto Raptors are Canada’s most famous basketball team, but they compete as the only Canadian franchise in the NBA, not the NBLC.

Of the four currently active teams, London Lightning remains the most successful, winning the title six times in just 10 seasons. Here, bettors will most commonly engage in match and outright betting, while we also offer prop player markets at Betiton.

NBA Betting

The NBA betting competition is the single biggest basketball league in the world, and you’ll find thousands of associated odds and in-play betting markets at Betiton.

This tournament was founded in New York in 1946. The Boston Celtics hold 18 titles (the most in NBA history), while the Los Angeles Lakers have 17. The Raptors have won one NBA Championship (in 2019) since their admission in 1995, while the Oklahoma City Thunder are the defending champions.

We find that individual match and live basketball betting dominate NBA wagering activity, while popular futures markets include backing the outright winner and MVP.

NCAA College Basketball Betting

College sports are a huge deal in the US and have a niche following in Canada, so we offer a huge range of NCAA betting markets. The NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) governs US college sports, while popular competitions include the Men’s Division One.

There are also female divisions and championships, which receive significant TV and betting coverage. Futures and outright markets tend to be the most popular in college basketball betting, but we also offer team and player prop wagers on selected games.

EuroLeague Betting

The EuroLeague is the premier basketball competition for teams and players on the continent, and it was inaugurated under the guidance of FIBA in 1958. Since the 2001/02 season, however, it has been governed by Euroleague Basketball, and during this time, it has become one of the most popular indoor sporting events in the world.

EuroLeague basketball betting is also very popular both in Europe and Canada. While Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul are the defending champions, Real Madrid is the most successful side with 11 titles in total.

Live Basketball Betting at Betiton Canada

Industry surveys suggest around 15% of Canadians bet in-play, while this figure increases to 18% in the province of Ontario. In Ontario, this is higher than in the UK (11%) and the US (15%). Live basketball markets help drive this interest.

Certainly, we offer a diverse selection of in-play and micro betting markets across the NBA and similar leagues, while individual and collective prop bets are also widespread. While observing live games can be helpful for in-play betting decisions, it’s equally important to manage your bankroll responsibly and analyse real-time statistics.

Betiton Canada Basketball Betting Tips

Basketball is unpredictable, and no bet is a guarantee. Here are some basketball betting tips to consider when making your picks:

• Look to Create Value in Match Betting Through Handicapping

Typically, match betting offers short odds and minimal value, especially when backing favourites to beat an underdog. So, it’s important to create value where possible in match wagering, with handicapping enabling you to apply a deficit to the betting favourite in exchange for enhanced odds.

For example, you could back the Boston Celtics to beat the New York Knicks with a handicap of -5.5 points at an extended price, and your wager will be successful as long as the former win by six points or more.

• Follow Injury and Load Management News

If you bet regularly on the NBA and similar leagues, you’ll know that teams will play a staggering 82 games during the regular season.

This makes injuries more prevalent as the season progresses, while franchises tend to prioritise proactive load management to help negate this risk.

Therefore, you’ll need to research which players are injured or unavailable ahead of a match, as this can have a big impact on outcomes and a wager’s value proposition.

• Leverage Home-Court Advantage

Historically, NBA teams win close to two-thirds of home games, which suggests that sides have a significant advantage when playing in front of their own fans. This must always be factored into your match betting selections. Meanwhile, you should drill down further into the recent home and away form of competing sides and pay close attention to any relevant head-to-head data.

These strategies might help you decide on your picks, but remember that in basketball, anything can happen even when you do your research.
