The Euroleague is one of the most popular and watched basketball tournaments, surpassed only by the Olympic Games or FIBA tournaments. In this article, we will discuss the best ways to place Euroleague bets and how to get the most enjoyment and value from each bet.
It is probably impossible to find a reliable betting company that does not feature Euroleague matches. These matches are extremely popular in basketball betting, so finding good odds or the right company will not be difficult. Poker School has evaluated and recommends placing all basketball bets on these websites:
Euroleague betting is a very popular form of leisure, so companies always pay a lot of attention to setting match odds. For those who want to bet optimally in both the Euroleague and basketball, it is necessary to know the best types of bets, the most suitable odds and have information about the matches themselves.
We will discuss information gathering a little later, but anyone who frequently participates in Euroleague betting (or basketball in general) should have several different sources. Most commonly, of course, the media is used, but specific websites (such as the Euroleague page) can provide much more objective statistics that will be useful for betting.
All useful information for betting on Kaunas Žalgiris can be found on the Basketnews website. Basketnews also hosts statistics for all Euroleague teams, but it is only useful if you plan to bet on other teams.
For everyone using betting companies, we recommend taking a few preparatory steps and finding useful information about upcoming matches. These steps will ease all decisions and increase the chance of winning or protecting your betting money:
Having information, understanding betting, and choosing the right matches and odds still cannot guarantee victory. Even if you plan to engage in betting professionally, it is recommended to view it as a more enjoyable pastime for a long time, watching your favorite basketball matches.
The Euroleague has its specific structure. The tournament consists of 18 teams that play the regular season in a “round robin” format – all play against each other twice. From these teams, 8 advance to the playoffs. Quarterfinals, semifinals, and so on are played. For the benefit of bettors, the Euroleague has agreements with specific teams, so the tournament composition is almost always the same (except for teams that have won the Euro Cup and other exceptions). The stability of the Euroleague in terms of both teams and tournament composition greatly facilitates any bets, as it is easy to accumulate long-term experience in this area.
Each stage of the Euroleague has different theoretical possibilities. For example, in the earliest stage of the tournament (just as group matches begin), favorites may be more uncertain than in later stages. Many teams buy new players, change strategies, or starting lineup, so the first few matches can be unusual, with unexpected wins. For these reasons, it is not recommended to use betting company services at the very beginning of the Euroleague unless you have the knowledge, experience, and information to make these bets. In all sports, in all types of bets, the very first games of any tournament will be the most uncertain, so the risk will always be the greatest.
After the first group matches, you should start gathering information and observing match favorites and new team players. Often, the newest players, although they played well in other tournaments or leagues, may perform significantly worse than expected in their first few matches with a new team.
This is a completely natural progression of playing in a new team, so after the first matches, it can be expected that the newest players will start playing better. Then, bets can be placed by evaluating the players’ past statistics. Sometimes such an evaluation can facilitate placing a bet or increase the chances of winning money from betting.
For those who want to bet frequently and win (or at least preserve most of their money), it’s necessary to form a strategy. Blindly placing bets will quickly burn through all the money allocated for betting, so such betting is suitable only for those who just want to have a good time. Even for these participants, it will often be more enjoyable to increase their chances of winning and occasionally scoop up a larger sum of money.
All betting is a game of information, so gathering information about Euroleague teams, players, and statistics is the most important part of betting. Even for those who see betting as just a pastime, it is recommended to gather information and make informed bets. After all, it will always be much more fun to win, especially when you trust your abilities in betting.
For those who want to stay in betting as long as possible, the most important thing is to choose one sport and a good company. Then, it is most beneficial for each bettor to learn about the types of bets and the best odds, as all betting should be based on EV (Expected Value).
Only after carefully assessing the situation and understanding that the bets can be +EV should you start thinking about the possible amount to bet. Finally, it is crucial to understand the fact that there will always be variation. Betting is not stable, so sometimes, even when choosing the best odds, matches, bet type, and company, you can lose. This can happen several or even dozens of times in a row, even to players who are well-versed in the betting field or sport.
Overcoming variation, of course, requires experience. When making the first Euroleague bets, variation will not yet be felt, but over time, long losing streaks may occur. This is the natural course of betting, but psychologically it may seem different. The best way to withstand the psychological weight of lost money is to have strong financial management.
In betting, you should always set aside a certain amount of money dedicated solely to it. This money should not be intended for any other purposes. The same financial management should be implemented in everyday life. Money intended for paying bills, food, or leisure should never be used for betting. Starting to use daily expense money for “recovery” can quickly lead to huge financial problems.
Finally, the most important advice for any gambling – never use borrowed money. If at any time there is a lack of money for betting, it is better to rebuild the foundation for betting rather than start borrowing from others.
