Why choose basketball betting at Bet365?

If you want to bet on basketball, Bet365 is a great platform to use. Whether your focus is on the European Basketball Championship, the NBA match or U.S. college basketball, the options offered by Bet365 are excellent.

There are 15 different bet types for every major basketball match. While the betting opportunities are extensive, they include standard betting options such as match winner, betting on a match winner with an added handicap to a team and betting on a winner with an under/over bet on the number of points in total that both teams score during the match. You can also bet on players as well as carry out double result bets.

The standard betting options are the most popular. This is due to, in part, the fact they are generally more profitable when you look at these betting options in terms of odds as you will notice that the bookmaker’s margin hardly ever goes above 5%. Effectively, this means that there is a higher success rate in comparison to other types of bets.

If we take the example of a different type of basketball bet (a bet on which bit of the match will have the most points scored), there are higher coefficients but more significant margins. I noticed that the margins are frequently above 15%, and ultimately, that means it is more challenging to generate a profit from this type of bet. Another kind of betting option available is bettering on the difference in scores. You get higher odds with this type of bet, but it is much more challenging to win.

Bet365 Basketball section – Structure, Design and Navigation

The basketball section at Bet365 is quick to load and easy to navigate. In fact, when comparing it against all the online betting websites I’ve looked at, Bet365 always comes up top in terms of its interface and ease of navigation. Other platforms often go overboard when it comes to colour whereas Bet365 is always clear with simple headers. Odds are easy to locate, and while that is beneficial, at times, due to this simplicity, it can be a bit difficult to find the bet you want if it’s less common. However, once familiar with the Bet365 interface, it does become much more comfortable.

Live streaming option for Basketball matches

I really love live streaming as a feature when it works well. I’ve often found myself watching an event I would never have watched before this way! In my opinion, Bet365 is the best platform for live streaming. They stream thousands of live matches every year, including basketball matches and overall, Bet365’s live streaming option is not really expensive. If you have funds in your account or have placed a bet recently, you can watch live basketball matches and other events. To use the Live Streaming service you will need to be logged in and have a funded account or to have placed a bet in the last 24 hours

Live streaming provides a great betting experience. More often than not, I use the live streaming option on my mobile phone as it allows me the flexibility to stream live while on the go. This is especially valuable if I am placing an in-play bet or want to use cash or the partial cash-out option.

Is basketball betting available thru mobile devices?

As I’ve just mentioned, I love using live streaming from Bet365 with my mobile Gone are the days of being stuck in a betting shop or in front of a computer as the quality of its mobile betting service is second to none. That quality has led me to use my mobile for 80% of my bets and considering I place bets almost daily, that speaks volumes.

Bet365’s app has nearly all of the same functionality as the desktop site. The mobile website is just as good as the app, which is valuable if you don’t want to download loads of apps on your phone. In terms of interface, it’s almost the same as the main site. It is easy to locate what the odds are, and the lists, menus and icons are all simple to find. That makes placing bets, betting on in-play, live streaming and management of my account simple. This is a service that not many other bookmakers offer. The only negative, if one was to consider it a negative it the fact there are so many sports to bet on, and at times, it can feel a little crowded. However, while that may be, as long as you have a reliable data connection, you will not have a problem.

Payment methods

Bet365 supports nearly all major payment methods as well as a few minor ones. As an added benefit, it also accepts deposits in a wide variety of different currencies and is available in multiple languages. The deposit/withdrawal limits are excellent, always suit my betting needs and processing times are really quick as well, both when depositing, but more importantly, when withdrawing. To learn more about the different deposit options, you can visit the Bet365 website.

Customer care & contact details

Bet 365’s customer service is available 24/7. This is a positive thing as a lot of betting takes places outside regular working hours in the evening and on weekends, including bank holidays, etc. I’ve actually had quite a lot of contact with customer support as I find it really easy to use and really helpful whenever I have a query. I prefer the live chat option but have used their phone service and call back service as well. Their response is always speedy, and they have impressed me with their knowledge. They do offer different languages in customer service, but I only have experience using their English service.

Currently, Bet365 customers’ rate the customer service really high and the ratings online are positive, and that speaks volumes. Personally, all of the agents that I have had contact with have been a great help, and have always been friendly, usually solving my issues immediately. If you’re a regular better, you will find that you have to contact the betting company occasionally but considering their service is spot on, that is nothing to worry about.
