Therefore, we created a basketball betting guide to help you get to know Liga ACB before you start making basketball bets here at Stake.com.

What is the Liga ACB?

Liga ACB is at the top of the Spanish basketball hierarchy. It is also known as Liga Endesa, as Spain’s largest utility company serves as a sponsor. There are 18 teams in Liga ACB with some of those teams also participating in international club competitions like the EuroLeague . The Spanish basketball league system works similar to many soccer leagues in the world. This means that after the season, the two lowest teams in the standings are relegated to the second division of Spanish basketball with two teams from the second division coming up to Liga ACB the following season.

History of Liga ACB

Liga ACB was founded in 1983, following in the footsteps of Liga Nacional, which was Spain’s first pro basketball league. The league was initially called ACB Primera Division, changing its name to Liga ACB in 1988 and becoming known officially as Liga Endesa in 2011. Throughout the league’s history, Real Madrid and FC Barcelona have been the pre-eminent teams, combining for over 30 championships, more than the rest of the other teams combined.

Liga ACB Schedule & Format

The Liga ACB regular season runs from October to May. During that time, all 18 teams play every other team twice - once at home and once on the road - for a total of 34 league games. The top eight teams at the end of the season qualify for the playoffs. The quarterfinal round is a best-of-3 series while the semifinals and finals are a best-of-5 series. Depending on their place in the final standings, Liga ACB teams can qualify for international competitions like the EuroLeague, EuroCup, and FIBA World Cup .

How to Bet on Liga ACB & Basketball Bet Types

At Stake Sportsbook, all of the basketball betting types you’ll find in other pro basketball leagues can also be found for Liga ABC games, offering upcoming and live betting types. These betting types include:

• Point Spread (Spread) - Basketball point spread betting is the most popular type of bet. It helps to even out the basketball odds for both teams because the favorite will be required to win by a certain margin or else the underdog team can win the bet.

• Moneyline (Outright) - A moneyline bet will ignore the spread and focus solely on the outright winner. Just keep in mind that the outright winner odds will be different for each team based on what team is the favorite and what team is the underdog.

• Total (Over/Under) - Instead of betting on the winner or loser, a total bet is based on the total points scored in a game. Oddsmakers provide an over/under number with bettors deciding whether the total points will be more or less than that number.

• Parlays & Multibets - A parlay is an ambitious type of bet in which multiple bets are included in a single bet to increase the potential payout. However, if just one of the bets in the parlay loses, the entire parlay loses.

• Proposition Bets (Player Props) - Prop bets are a great way to focus on the performance of specific players rather than team performance. In basketball, it’s common to bet on the points, rebounds, or assists a player will have in a game, among other prop options.

• Live Betting (In Play) - Once a game begins, live bets are still possible. This allows bettors to see how the game will unfold before placing a bet. However, with live bets , the spread, odds, and other factors are constantly changing based on what’s happening in the game.

Liga ACB Betting Odds & Payouts

Stake Sportsbook always makes an effort to provide the best odds for basketball fans. However, the odds and payouts vary from one game to the next and one bet to the next. For example, Team A and Team B will likely have different moneyline odds based on what team is favored. Typically, the bets that are less likely to win will come with larger payouts and vice versa.
