EuroLeague Basketball Betting with 1xBet - Best Odds & Tips
The highest level of competition outside of the NBA is the EuroLeague, which runs from October through May. The regular season breaks up the competition into a Final Four style.
Why is EuroLeague Betting so Popular in Ireland?
Basketball is a sport that is growing in popularity in Ireland. EuroLeague matches have become must-watch events for anyone following the sport. As a competition, EuroLeague has a unique league structure with major teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Fenerbahรงe. The league structure is competitive which means they are all vulnerable and can lose to the smaller teams any other day which makes EuroLeague betting an excellent sport to wager on in Europe. With two games a week for the majority of the teams, EuroLeague betting creates a long regular season.
EuroLeague Bet Types Explained
The fast-paced and high-scoring nature of basketball makes for a wide variety of betting options. Here is what you can expect from betting on EuroLeague games.
Match Winner (2-way) - there is no option for a draw in basketball so you can place a bet on a team to win the game.
Handicap Betting - this is the second most popular option after a straight match winner. A pointโs handicap is imposed to balance the odds.
Over/Under (Total Points) - you can bet on whether the total points scored will go over or under a predetermined line which is typically 150-165 in EuroLeague games.
First-Half/Second-Half Winner - you can place a bet on which team is winning at halftime or winning at the end of the second half.
Quarter Betting - for a more detailed in-game bet you can place a bet on winner of a specific quarter.
Top Points Scorer - you can place a bet on which player is going to score the most points in a specific game.
Tournament Outright Winner - you can place a bet on a team to win the EuroLeague at any point in the season, even before the Final Four.
Expert Insight: What Defines EuroLeague Basketball Betting
EuroLeague basketball can be slow compared to other leagues like the NBA. They have a more possession based play style with structured offense so from a betting point of view, the outcomes can seem predictable, but also very dependent on the execution of the offense.
EuroLeague arenas provide a challenge for away teams due to the great home fan support. Travel and scheduling also have an impact on the performance of the teams, especially during weeks with double-game matches.
The markets where point totals are lower and more predicitably lower scoring games, tend to favor the under bets and are more relevant for the outcomes of the match. Total points, match winner, and handicap bets are relevant and lower scoring games tend to favor the under bets.
1xBet provides great competitive odds for all EuroLeague matches and the bets to go with them.
Complete reliance on a teamโs reputation is not the best for betting. A great home court, team tactics, and great defensive play can lead to better results when paired with good bankroll management.

EuroLegue Tips for Bettors in Ireland
Look at travel distances - Matches are held midweek, and clubs cover different countries each week for multiple fixtures. Fatigue affects performance and scoring in predictable ways.
Look at absences rather than just team strength - EuroLeague clubs are competing for multiple leagues, which increases the chances of an absence at EuroLeague games.
Know the competition - Some EuroLeague home arenas are very hostile to visiting teams and have a very high or very low quality of basketball as opposed to the home team.
