Betting NBA
Quarters Line
Most
sportsbooks will base their quarter spreads on the overall game spread. For
example, if NBA
odds have a team favored by 12 to win a game, it is highly likely that
the spread for each quarter of the game will be three points.
The key
then becomes finding which teams have significant advantages in the various
quarters. For example, one team may start slow and doesn’t perform well in the
first quarter. Another team may be very good right after halftime.
In general,
it is very rare that an NBA team covers each quarter spread and then covers the
overall game spread.
NBA
Average Margin
Basketball
bettors can find statistics on the average margin for
each team in every quarter. Let’s say for example, Cleveland has the highest
average scoring margin after the first quarter at +4.6 points.
The Cavs
would be a strong first quarter bet if the spread were say Cleveland -2.5.
There have been teams that have had some ridiculous numbers in the past.
Bettors can also use net rating as well to determine teams that have an
advantage in a certain quarter.
A team with
a third quarter net rating of +17.4 would be a strong bet in that quarter. Look
for teams with quarter advantages and consider wagering.

Other NBA
Quarters Betting Strategies
One NBA
quarters betting strategy is to bet on the loser of the first quarter to win
the second quarter. If you lose that bet, you simply double down on that team
to win the third quarter.
You can do
the same for the fourth quarter, if applicable. Remember, it is very rare for a
team to cover all four quarters of a single game.
Another
simple strategy is to simply use information from the live game. Maybe an
injury to a key player occurs in the first quarter. With that information in
hand, bettors can make a wager on the second quarter spread.
Watching
the game is very important when betting NBA quarters. It is almost as important
as shopping
NBA money lines before making your daily wagers.
Watch
In-Game Specifics
Foul
trouble is another to watch. Players in foul trouble may sit for longer periods
of time. That will affect a quarter spread. It’s the same for a player that
gets extremely hot or cold. Using the live information, bettors can wager
accordingly on the quarter spread.
Betting NBA
quarters can be a great way to supplement your NBA betting and an even better
way to pull oneself out of an NBA slump.
