Selections made on anticipated outcomes of National Basketball Association’s off-season competition, often combined into a single wager for increased potential payout, represent a specific area of sports wagering. For example, an individual might forecast the winners of three separate games and combine these forecasts into a single bet; all three selections must be correct for the wager to be successful.
The appeal of wagering on these exhibition games lies in the opportunity to assess developing talent and team strategies prior to the regular season. Understanding the nuances of player performance in this environment, such as minutes played and role within the team structure, can provide a competitive edge. Historically, identifying undervalued teams or players during this period has led to profitable wagering opportunities.
