There are many ways of betting on the Novo Basquete Brasil Finals. Some of the different bets can seem confusing at first, but this article will provide you with all of the information you need. We will use examples of betting on the Novo Basquete Brasil Finals to help you understand the key differences between the different types of bets.

Novo Basquete Brasil Finals Betting

Outright Bets

Outright bets are one of the simplest form of betting on the Novo Basquete Brasil Finals. If you place an outright bet on the Novo Basquete Brasil Finals, you are placing a bet on a team to win the Novo Basquete Brazil championship. For example, if you placed an outright bet on Franca to win the 2021-22 Novo Basquete Brasil Finals, your bet would have won as Franca beat Saao Paulo 3 - 0 in the Finals.

Game Result

Game result is another simple form of betting on the Novo Basquete Brasil Finals. It is similar to outright bets, but instead of betting on the winner of the tournament, you will be placing a bet on the winner of a game. For example, in the 2021-22 Novo Basquete Brasil if you placed a game result bet for Flamengo to win the third game in the finals series your bet would have won as Flamengo beat Franca 81 - 75. However, if you would have placed an outright bet on Flamengo to win the 2021-22 Novo Basquete Brasil Finals your bet would have lost, as Franca won the series 3 - 1.

Game Handicap

Handicap bets are where things get interesting. In handicap betting a bookmaker will give a team a handicap (or head start), which is then factored into the final score. For betting on the Novo Basquete Brasil Finals, in the first match of the 2021-22 Finals, Franca beat Flamengo 85 - 79. If you placed a game handicap bet on Flamengo to win at +6.5 points or more your bet would have won. This is because although they scored 6 points less than their opponent did, once the handicap of +6.5 points is taken into account, Flamengo scored more points than their opponents.

Points Total

Points total is another simple, but exciting form of betting on the Novo Basquete Brasil Finals. With points total bets you are betting on the number of points in a game, normally placing a bet on whether the number of points will be more (over) or less (under) than a certain number, for example, 150.5 points. As an example, the second game of the 2021-22 Finals series ended with Flamengo scoring 62 and Franca scoring 64 points. This totals 126 points. With this a points total bet under 150.5 points bet have won. In the third game of the 2021-22 Novo Basquete Brasil Finals, Flamengo scored 81 points and Franca scored 75 points. This totals 156 points in the game. In this example, a points total bet under 150.5 points bet would have lost, as the total points scored was over 150.5 points.

Game Winning Margin

Game winning margin is a useful bet if you think that either a game will be a very close match or one team will win easily. For example in the second match of the 2021-22 Finals series Franca won by just 2 points. If you placed a bet on the game winning margin being less than 2.5 points, your bet would have won. If you think a team will win by many points, you can place a bet on the game winning margin being large. For example, in the fourth game of the 2021-22 Finals series Franca won by 15 points, so a game winning margin bet of 14.5 points would have won.

Game & Player Prop Bets

Prop bets are an extremely popular type of bet on basketball games, and the Novo Basquete Brasil Finals is no exception. Prop bets are bets which don't fall into the regular betting categories, such as who is going to win etc. This covers a huge range of bets, but player prop bets will always cover the action of a single player. For example, a prop bet on the Novo Basquete Brasil Finals could be will Franca's Lucas Mariano score 4 points in the first quarter? Or will Sao Paulo's Dontrell Brite have more than 2 blocks in the last quarter?

When these are combined with a bet on the game result, they become game and player prop bets. For example, you could bet on Franca winning the game, and Mariano to score more than 4 points in the first quarter. If both of these things happen your game and player prop bet will win. If only one of these things happen, for example Franca win, but Mariano doesn't score more than 4 points in the first quarter, your bet will not win.

Other team prop bets include will there be over 6 dunks in the game? Or how many fouls will there be in the first quarter?

First Half/Full Time

First half/full time bets are an interesting change to betting on the outcome of a game. Instead of just betting on the result of the match, you will be betting on the result at half time and at full time. Using the 2021-22 Novo Basquete Brasil Finals between Flamengo and Franca as an example. If you bet on Flamengo/Flamengo for a first half/full time bet, you would be betting on Flamengo leading at half time and at full time. If you think Franca will lead at half time, but lose the game, your first half/full time bet would be Franca/Flamengo.

Live Bets

Live bets are an exciting form of sports betting, and because of its fast and unpredictable nature betting on the Novo Basquete Brasil Finals is no exception. This can be a very good way of betting if a team is losing a match, but you think they will turn things around and win, as the odds will be better. You can also bet on the next thing to happen, such as the next player or team to score.

As you can see, there are many exciting ways for betting on the Novo Basquete Brasil Finals.
