Best Nba Win Total Bets
What is a Total or Over/Under Bet?
A total or over/under bet is a single wager on whether or not the combined goal, point or run total of a single game will be over or under what the oddsmaker sets it at before the event. When placing a total wager, all the bettor is concerned with is the combined score of each team at the end of the game.
Sportsbooks win more than they lose, and if casual bettors make up the NBA public consensus, you’ll be betting with a side that loses more often than it wins. About NBA Consensus Betting on the NBA is one of the toughest challenges for sports bettors and having accurate NBA consensus data is mission-critical to cover the spread at a sportsbook. Best NBA Win Total Bets: Mavericks, Rockets, and Thunder (2020) by Vaughn Dalzell July 16, 2020 The NBA’s bubble restart is less than three weeks away, and teams have started reporting to Orlando for team practices.
Example:
Vikings +7 Over/Under 42
Packers -7
Steve loves the Packers and thinks they will score a lot of points in this game. So, he places a wager on “over 42 total points”. If the combined score of the Packers and the Vikings at the end of the game is greater than 42 total points Steve would win his bet. 41 or less total points would be a loss and 42 exactly would be considered a push or refund.
Most sports books consider the end of regulation time or the point at which a game becomes official as the end of the game unless otherwise stated.

The 2020-21 NBA season is just a couple weeks away as the league is set to return on Dec. 22 with Warriors vs. Nets and Clippers vs. Lakers playing a doubleheader on Opening Night. Bucks vs. Celtics and Mavericks vs. Suns play on Dec. 23 and there's a loaded five-game Christmas Day NBA schedule a couple days later. There's plenty of attention already on those early-season showdowns, but NBA bettors are also eyeing season-long NBA win totals.
With the NBA aiming to play 72 games, 10 fewer than normal, the NBA odds have been adjusted. William Hill Sportsbook lists the Bucks at 51 projected wins, followed closely by the Lakers (47.5), Clippers (47) and Celtics (46.5). Before making any 2020-21 NBA win total picks on those teams or others, be sure to see what SportsLine's elite NBA expert, Mike Barner, has to say.
A nationally acclaimed NBA expert, Barner uses in-depth knowledge of every roster to find betting advantages against the spread and in the futures market. Last season, Barner crushed sportsbooks with a 156-107-5 record, returning $3,864 to $100 bettors.
Now Barner, who digs deep into the data to discern every team's true strength, has broken down the latest 2021 NBA win totals from William Hill and has uncovered five best bets. You can head to SportsLine to see the picks.
Top NBA win total predictions
One of Barner's top NBA win total predictions: The Bucks go over 51 wins. Barner notes that Milwaukee played 73 games in last-year's shortened campaign. The Bucks won 56, so he tells SportsLine, 'it is surprising to see this line set this low.'
Barner views Jrue Holiday as a significant upgrade over Eric Bledsoe. The former New Orleans Pelicans guard gives Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton a reliable third option on the offensive end who can also defend at a high level.
He also likes the depth additions of D.J. Augustin, Bryn Forbes, Torrey Craig and Bobby Portis. 'They are still primed to finish with the best record in the NBA again,' Barner said, so confidently lock them in to hit the over 51 with some room to spare.
How to make 2021 NBA win total picks
Barner has found four other teams that provide value at their projected NBA win totals. One of those teams didn't make the postseason last year, but 'could very well make their way into the playoffs' this season. He's sharing those picks only at SportsLine.
