TIPS
The most respected basketball handicapping companies in the sports betting industry are located in Las Vegas. There are more sportsbooks in the casinos of Las Vegas than any other city in America. The handicapping companies in Las Vegas get basketball odds and information as soon as they are posted by the Las Vegas casinos. This gives them an edge on the rest of the handicapping companies. Many of the handicappers not located in Las Vegas, have contacts in Las Vegas. These contacts give basketball handicappers insider information to help them make their picks.
The picks are the teams/players that the sports handicapping company feels are most likely to be winning Bets. Not only does the basketball handicapper make his picks on which teams will win/lose, but they set the line on a number of aspects of each sporting event. A few examples are...
* Pointspread and Total for the entire game
* Pointspread and Total for each individual half
* Pointspread and Total for each individual quarter
* Moneyline for each game
* Proposition Wagers
* Point Buying and More

On a pointspread wager, the team wagered must win by the pointspread. On an over/under wager, the total points of the contest by both teams, overtime included, must fall over or under the side selected.
Example
The posted line is the L.A. Lakers -10 at Phoenix Suns +10 and the over/under total is 185.
The odds are $1.10 to win $1.00 (-110) unless otherwise indicated.
For the player who wagers on the Lakers -10, they must win by more than 10 points for this to be a winning wager. For the player who wagers on Portland +10, they must either win the game, or lose by less than 10 points for this to be a winning wager. If the outcome falls on the number, either way, the bet is declared a "Push", and the original stake is refunded.
For the player who wagers on the total points of this contest by both teams to be "Over" 185, the combined final score of both teams must exceed 189. For the player who wagers on the total points of this contest by both teams to be "Under" 185, the combined final score of both teams must be less than 185. If the outcome falls on the number, the bet is declared a "Push", and the original stake is refunded.
