When it comes to pro basketball in Europe, it doesn’t get any bigger than the EuroLeague. It’s composed of clubs from all across Europe, bringing together the top European teams in one competition. Outside of the NBA, this is the preeminent basketball league in the world. This useful guide explains more about the EuroLeague and how to bet on it.

Every season, 18 teams participate in the EuroLeague. There's a mixture of licensed and associated clubs, meaning that some teams compete annually while other teams have to earn their place within the EuroLeague through other competitions.

Regardless of how they obtain their place in the competition, all 18 teams play each other twice during the regular season, giving each team 34 games.

After those 34 games, the top six teams qualify for the playoffs while teams 7-10 participate in a play-in tournament to decide the final two playoff spots:

• 7th place plays the 8th place. The winner qualifies for the playoffs.
• 9th place plays 10th place. The winner plays the loser of 7th vs. 8th.
• The winner of that final game becomes the 8th and final team to qualify for the playoffs.

Once the line-up has been determined, the eight playoff teams are paired up according to seed and go on to play a best-of-five series. The top seed plays the bottom seed, the second-best seed plays the second-lowest seed, and so on.

The four winners of those series reach the Final Four, which consists of:

• two semifinals
• a 3rd-place game
• the concluding championship game.

These are all one-game competitions (not series) and are held for one weekend at a predetermined site that changes yearly.

Fans of the EuroLeague can either bet on individual games or make outright bets on the teams that will either make the playoffs or win the championship.

Historically, clubs from Spain and Italy have won more EuroLeague titles than teams from any other country. These clubs tend to be favored over teams from countries like Greece, Turkey, or Lithuania. However, most teams participating in the EuroLeague view themselves as a legitimate threat to win it all.

There's a lot to consider when looking at EuroLeague betting odds. For starters, every team in the EuroLeague is simultaneously participating in its domestic league. At times, the amount of travel required catches up with EuroLeague teams. Other times, teams have to prioritize games in their domestic league over games in the EuroLeague.

In relation to the EuroLeague basketball betting odds in the playoffs, seeding tends to matter. Higher seeds tend to perform better in the playoffs because - as their high seed indicates - they're among the best teams during the 34-game regular season. If the series goes five games, there's a strong history of the home team winning the fifth and decisive game.

As with other sports, the best teams tend to have the best individual players. Many EuroLeague teams feature young players who will play in the NBA one day. If you can identify these future stars, it can lead you in the right direction when making EuroLeague bets.

When making Euro League bets, watching games and closely following stats is one of the best ways to be in the loop and develop useful knowledge. You should always have a good reason for placing a specific bet and always remain objective.

The EuroLeague schedule is also an important factor to consider for every bet. Home teams have the inherent advantage of having the crowd behind them. And take into consideration the distance the visiting team has had to travel in recent days. Teams that have to travel a lot are more likely to be tired and not play their best, especially if their roster doesn’t have a lot of depth.

Depth is a factor worth exploring when making EuroLeague bets. Since EuroLeague teams are also participating in domestic competitions, they tend to rely a lot on their bench. Games can often be decided by a team having lost players to injury or needing rest.
