And whether you’re new to \u003cstrong\u003eNBA betting\u003c/strong\u003e or an expert of the game, you’ll find everything you need to bet on the NBA with Parimatch.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sport was first played in America as far back as 1891 but was mostly a college sport until the formation of the National Basketball Association (NBA) in 1946. The first season of the NBA featured 11 teams and the finals were won by the Philadelphia Warriors.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, 30 teams play in the NBA and sadly the Philadelphia Warriors have long since folded. The 30 teams of the NBA are split into two conferences (the Eastern Conference and Western Conference), which are each then split into three divisions of five teams.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring the NBA season, usually running from October to April the following year, each team plays every other team for a total of 82 games per season. Teams play the other four teams in their division four times (16 games), the other 10 teams in the same conference four to six times (36 games), and the 15 teams in the other conference twice (30 games).\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the end of the regular season, the top eight teams from each conference are entered into the NBA playoffs. The eight teams play each other in a three round knockout tournament, with each round played as a best-of-seven series. The winning team from each conference then face off in a final best-of-seven series in the NBA Finals, held each year in June.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith 82 games played per team each season, and with the playoff and NBA Finals on top, that’s a huge array of opportunities to bet.

For instance, you might see an NBA spread of 2.5 points, meaning that the favourites would have to win by at least three points for your bet to be successful.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"bvs-h3\" style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eUnder/over (total)\u0026nbsp;\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eAnother popular NBA betting option is the total bet, sometimes known as the over/under.

This is known as an accumulator bet, and every team in your selection must win for your bet to be successful.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eAlways gamble responsibly if putting together an accumulator or any other basketball bet.
