EuroLeague Betting Odds - Bet on Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Basketball

Basketball in Europe doesn’t get any bigger than the EuroLeague. The best club basketball teams in Europe compete in the EuroLeague, which is arguably the best basketball league in the world outside of the NBA . The EuroLeague is home to a mix of European players, former NBA players, and players who played college basketball in the U.S. That collection of players helps make the EuroLeague a competitive league and one of the most popular indoor sports leagues in the world.

Naturally, Stake Sportsbook offers betting markets for the EuroLeague. However, since not all basketball betting fans are that familiar with European basketball, we wanted to create a sports betting guide to share pertinent information about the EuroLeague and how to bet on it before you start placing wagers.

What is EuroLeague Basketball?

EuroLeague basketball is a semi-closed league that’s made up of 18 teams. Of those 18 teams, 12 are permanent fixtures in the competition because they have a long-term licence. 2 of the remaining teams come from the EuroCup while the other 4 are one-year Wild Cards. This means that some of the teams participating in the EuroLeague change from 1 year to the next based on their performance in other competitions while others have a guaranteed spot. Since it’s the best European basketball competition, the winner of the EuroLeague each year is typically considered to be the best team in Europe.

History of the EuroLeague?

The lineage of the EuroLeague dates back to 1958 with a competition known as the FIBA European Champions Cup, which operated until 2000. For the 2000-01 season, there were 2 international club basketball competitions in Europe, forcing teams to pick 1 over the other. In 2001, the 2 competitions merged under the name EuroLeague Basketball, which has been the premier club basketball competition in Europe ever since.

EuroLeague Schedule & Format

All 18 teams in the EuroLeague play a 34-game schedule. This means 1 home game and 1 road game against every other team in the league. After those 34 games, the top 8 teams in the standings advance to the playoffs. The quarterfinal round of the playoffs is a best-of-5 series to whittle the field down to 4 teams.

The 4 remaining teams compete in the EuroLeague Final Four, which is held every year at a predetermined site. The 2 semifinal games, the 3rd-place game, and championship game are all single-game affairs rather than a series like the quarterfinal round. This means that the maximum number of games for a EuroLeague team is 41.

When is the 2024-25 EuroLeague?

The 2024-25 EuroLeague regular season is scheduled to begin on October 3. The regular season will end on April 11, 2025 with the playoffs starting on April 15. The EuroLeague Final Four will be held from May 22 to 25 in Barcelona.

How to Bet on EuroLeague & Basketball Bet Types

At Stake Sportsbook, the types of basketball bets you’ll find for the EuroLeague will match or exceed what you’ll find at other basketball betting sites. Those betting options include:

  • Point Spread (Spread) - This is the most common way to bet on a basketball game. With a spread, the favourite has to win by a certain number of points; otherwise, the underdog can lose the game but win the bet if the final score is closer than expected.

  • Moneyline (Outrights) - The moneyline market is also popular in the EuroLeague, as it eliminates the spread and is only concerned with the outright winner of a game.

  • Total ( Over/Under ) - Rather than betting on the winner and loser, a total bet is only concerned with the total number of points scored in a game.

  • Parlays & Multibets - With a parlay , bettors can combine several separate picks into a single wager, which increases the potential payout but is riskier because if one bet loses, the entire parlay is lost.

  • Proposition Bets (Player Props) - Prop bets are based on stats or actions in a particular game, including how many points, rebounds, or assists a specific player will collect in a game.

  • Live Betting (In Play) - Once a game begins, it’s still possible to place a live bet on the game. Keep in mind that the spread and moneyline tend to change throughout the game, so it helps to watch the game if you plan on placing live bets.

EuroLeague Betting Odds & Payouts

Stake always tries to provide competitive basketball odds for EuroLeague games. That being said, the payouts on wagers always depend on the type of bet and the odds you receive. For instance, the odds on both sides of a spread are usually even. However, the 2 moneyline odds for a EuroLeague game are often different if there is a clear favourite in the game.

Live Stream Basketball for Free & Live Betting Markets

For EuroLeague basketball games, it’s possible to watch games live on the Stake platform. If you place a bet on a game, you can then live stream that game without an additional payment or added subscription. Just place a bet on that game on Stake Sportsbook and you’ll be able to live stream that game so that you can track your bet closely and perhaps make additional live bets on that game.

Basketball Betting Tips, Predictions & Strategies

Before placing EuroLeague bets, it’s important to get to know the league better. Keep in mind that teams are also participating in their domestic league, so they aren’t always putting their best foot forward in EuroLeague games. Likewise, these teams tend to travel a lot, which is why there aren’t always a lot of high-scoring games in EuroLeague compared to other leagues. When you select picks in EuroLeague, you have to balance factors like travel and home-court advantage with the overall talent on each team, not to mention where they sit in the standings and their level of motivation in a particular game.
