How to bet on the Bucks

Moneyline

A winning moneyline bet is determined by which team wins the game outright. Let’s use an example with the Milwaukee Bucks and Houston Rockets.

Bucks -140

Rockets +175

The negative number on the Bucks moneyline (-140) indicates oddsmakers have them listed as favored to win. It would take a $140 wager to win $100 profit, plus the $140 originally posted for the bet. A $100 on the Rockets would net $175 in profit if they can pull off the upset. 

Point Spread

Point spread betting considers the margin of victory rather than just which team is victorious. Take the below point spreads in a game between the Milwaukee Bucks and New York Knicks:

Bucks +4.5 (-115)

Knicks -4.5 (-115)

The Knicks are favored by 4.5 points, indicated by the “-4.5.” They need to win by at least five points to cover the point spread and win the bet. As underdogs, the Bucks can lose by up to four points or win the game for a bet on them to hit. 

The (-115) odds listed next to each team’s point spread show the return on a correct bet in American Odds. Both teams have the same -115 odds so a $115 bet on the winning team pays the bettor $100, plus the $115 wagered. A $100 bet on the would earn the bettor $86.96 plus the initial wager if it hits.   

Bucks Point Total (Over/Under) 

A bet on the point total is determined by the combined number of points scored by both teams. Sportsbooks will provide a set number to allow bettors to choose whether the final combined scores of each team will be higher or lower than that number. 

If the point total in a game between the Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers is set at 235 points and ends with a final score of 125-120, bettors who selected the over would win. 

Live Betting

Betting on games while they’re in-play is known as live betting, which can be a fruitful strategy for those who prepare ahead of time. Take a game that has the Bucks favored at -250 on the moneyline in their matchup with the Golden State Warriors who are +200 on the moneyline. A $100 bet on the Bucks before the game starts would only make a $40 profit. 

You also know that the Bucks often start slowly when they play at home and there’s a good chance the Warriors are able to keep things close early in the game. Using that info, you could hold on to your bet until the game is in motion to see if the odds on the Bucks moneyline shift in your favor. 

If the Warriors come out firing and claim an early lead, oddsmakers will move the line to reflect the current score, increasing the value of a bet on the Bucks to win, upping your profits on a correctly (and well-timed) bet. 

Live betting is also where “hedging” your bets can come into play, a tactic by bettors where they make one bet before the game starts and then an opposing bet while the game is live as a way to recoup their potential losses. Let’s say you bet on Milwaukee (+180 underdogs) to win a game against the Chicago Bulls (-200 favorites), but at halftime the Bucks are down by 10 points. The live odds for a moneyline bet on the Bulls now only pays you back one-third of your money, or -300. By giving up on the Bucks and betting on the Bulls moneyline at -300 during halftime, you’re hedging your initial bet on the Bucks in an attempt to recover some money from a seemingly lost cause.                                             

Parlays and Teasers

Parlays and Teasers combine multiple different bets together for an increased payout. 

For a parlay example, let’s say the Milwaukee Bucks are favored against the Miami Heat (-140 on the moneyline) and the Cleveland Cavaliers are favored over the Minnesota Timberwolves at -200 on the moneyline. If you parlay the moneylines of the Bucks and Cavs together, the odds on your potential return jump up to +157 since you incur more risk trying to correctly predict two teams to win instead of just one.  

A teaser allows bettors to move multiple point spreads or totals in their preferred direction. Let’s say you like the Bucks (-4.5) in their matchup with the Sacramento Kings as much as you do the Orlando Magic (-5.5 favorites) to defeat the Utah Jazz. You can tease both lines by four points (most books offer anywhere from four-to-six point teases) to shift the lines to Milwaukee (-0.5) / Orlando (-1.5). Now, both teams need to win by four-fewer points than the original lines for your bet to cash.

Futures

Future bets are placed on props in the longer-term future. Team win totals, award winners, and player performances are common future bets.

Milwaukee Bucks History

The Milwaukee Bucks have been one of the most consistent franchises since it joined the NBA in 1968, reaching the postseason in 34 of its 55 years of existence. It still holds the record for the youngest franchise to win a championship, doing so in just its third year on the backs of two of the greatest players of all time, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (still known as Lew Alcindor that season) and Oscar Robertson. 

Three seasons later, the Bucks returned to the Finals with the same core unit that brought them a championship, losing to the Boston Celtics in seven games. 

It would take them another 47 years to get back to the Finals, this time taking the Larry O’Brien trophy home after defeating the Phoenix Suns in six games in 2021. Giannis Antetokounmpo took home the Finals MVP thanks in part to his 50-point performance in the series-clinching game to go along with 14 rebounds and five blocks.
