The top-eight teams in each conference determine the seeding for the playoffs. The playoffs are a best-of-seven knockout format that crowns the eventual champion. You can bet on every game, teams to make the playoffs and even end-of-season awards.

The EuroLeague is widely considered the second strongest league outside of the NBA. It comprises some of the premier basketball clubs from around Europe, with 18 teams making up the league. Each club plays each other twice in the regular season for 34 games each before heading to the playoffs. Teams play a single club in a best of five before advancing to the final four, becoming a single-game knockout to the championship.

Those who aren't familiar with the betting system may not know the plethora of ways to bet on basketball. There are plenty of ways customers can play:
Moneylines
A moneyline bet is essentially putting a wager on who will win a single game. The odds attached to each team reflect their likelihood to win and signifies how much you would win per the amount you wagered. With Betfair, you can use both decimal and fractional odds.
Handicap
These bets put the team you wager on at a disadvantage by a predetermined amount of points. For example, you could bet on Cleveland to beat Miami at -4, which means they have to win by more than 4 points.
Total Points
Total points is a fun way for customers to bet in basketball. Betfair will set a point total for a single game, and people can choose to bet if the game will finish over or under that point total.
Betfair's Bet Builder
This feature allows customers to construct a multi-layer bet within a single game. If you're betting NBA, you can bet the moneyline and combine it with the over/under for a double.
