Spanish ACB Betting
The Liga ACB is also known as the Liga Endesa for sponsorship reasons. It’s one of the top domestic basketball competitions in the world. Spain is a leading country in this sport and the best eighteen teams battle it out for top honours. The top eight sides go through to the playoffs and the sides finishing in the bottom two berths end up being relegated.
In total, there are 315 matches played throughout the 2024/25 Liga ACB season. That provides a huge range of betting options for basketball fans. It’s great to wager on every game, with customers able to find a market which matches their view of how a game on the court might unfold. The season tends to run from late September and spans all the way through the end of June.
What Are the Most Popular Liga ACB Match Markets?
The top three Liga ACB match betting markets are:
SpreadTotalMoney LineThese are all two way markets which are not only good for single bets but also multiple wagers. The Spread is particularly popular where you can either bet on the favourite to overcome a certain handicap or the underdog to win having been given a certain points start.
For example, we might see Valencia -6.5 @ 1.90 and Tenerife +6.5 @ 1.90.
If you bet on Valencia, you need them to win their Liga ACB match by at least seven points so that they cover the spread. If you wager on Tenerife, you need them to win, draw or lose by no more than six points. This would still mean that they stay within the +6.5 range and you would be paid out on your bet.
Move the Line When You Bet on Spanish Basketball
Should you want to a different Spread market, that is also possible with the Liga ACB betting sites. Using the above match, it might be that you can wager on Valencia -10.5 @ 2.50. As you can see, this involves getting a bigger price but you would need the Spanish side to claim a victory by eleven points or more.
Conversely, you can go for a less risky option such as Valencia -3.5 @ 1.55. This means needing the favourites to win by four points or more. Therefore, you can move the line to get bigger or smaller odds depending on how you want to wager.
How to Bet on Spanish Basketball Match Total Market
The Total market is also very popular for Spanish basketball fans. This doesn’t involve predicting which Liga ACB team is going to win. Instead, you are wagering on how many points will be scored. This is the cumulative total of both teams. Therefore, if Real Madrid beat Barcelona 80-75, then the total is 155.
You might find for a match between Real Madrid and Unicaja Malaga that you can either bet:
Over 172.5 @ 1.90Under 172.5 @ 1.90Therefore, if you think the cumulative total will be 173 or more points, then you would wager on the first option. If you think that the total will be 172 or less, you might go or the second pick.
As with the Spread market, there’s the option to bet on the Alternative Game Total market. This means you can move the line according to your view of the game. You might be able to get odds of 1.64 when it comes to Over 169.5 points which would give you a bit more leeway compared to the above option.
Alternatively, you might expect a really high-scoring affair and be persuaded to go for Over 179.5 points instead. This option could be priced at 2.65 and would clearly land a bigger return for the same stake if you managed to win.
Bet on the Liga ACB Money Line and Place Basketball Accas
The Money Line is a nice simple market. It’s a simple case of predicting which side is going to win a Liga ACB match. We might find that Real Madrid are 1.37 to win and Unicaja Malaga are the outsiders at 3.20. If you want to bet on Real Madrid, you might think twice about placing a single bet at relatively short odds.
However, some basketball punters instead like to go for a basketball accumulator. For example, if you combine Real Madrid at 1.37 on the Money Line with Valencia at 1.37 to win their match, then you have 1.87 for both sides landing a victory. Adding further selections will continue to see the multiple odds increase until you’re happy with the overall price.
Place a Spanish Basketball Bet Builder
Many Liga ACB betting sites provide customers with the chance to place a Bet Builder. This is effectively a same-game multiple wager. It enables you to pick out different selections for the same match. It can be an exciting way to bet on the action, with customers often able to choose different Spread, Total and Money markets.
Let’s say Valencia are playing against Tenerife. You might want to go for the following selections:
Valencia -6.5 Over 175.5 PointsValencia to win First QuarterBy combining these different selections, you are able to get cumulative odds of 4.75.
How to Bet on the Liga ACB Futures Markets
Many Spanish basketball betting sites provide customers with the chance to bet on Futures markets. This includes the Outright market where you can wager on which team will end up being crowned champions.
This is a league which has been traditionally dominated by Real Madrid and Barcelona. The latter holds the record with seventeen titles at the time of writing. However, their arch-rivals have been catching up in recent years. There were back to back successes in 2015 and 2016, with other triumphs coming in 2018 and 2019.
More recently, Barca and Real have traded blows, with Kirolbet Baskonia having been the 2020 champions, with Valencia Basket having been crowned champions in 2017.
