How to bet on the Trail Blazers
Moneyline
Wagering on the moneyline is the simplest type of NBA bet, determinant upon a team winning or losing the game. Use the below example from a game between the Trail Blazers and Atlanta Hawks.
Trail Blazers -140
Hawks +175
The negative number on the Trail Blazers moneyline (-140) indicates they are favored to win by oddsmakers. It would take a $140 wager to win $100 profit, plus the $140 originally posted for the bet. A $100 on the Hawks would net $175 in profit if they can pull off the upset.
Point Spread
Books will also set a point spread for NBA games, which considers the margin of victory rather than just the winner and loser. The below example considers the Trail Blazers as underdogs against the Cleveland Cavaliers:
Trail Blazers +4.5 (-115)
Celtics -4.5 (-115)
Here the oddsmaker has the Cavs 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 cash the bet. As underdogs, the Trail Blazers can lose by up to four points or win the game for a bet on them to cash.
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.
Point Total (Over/Under)
A wager on the total is a bet on whether the combined points scored by each team will be more or less than the number set by the oddsmaker. For example, if the point total in a game between the Portland Trail Blazers and Philadelphia 76ers is set at 235 points and ends with a final score of 121-110, a bet on the under would cash out, whereas a final score that combined for more than 235 points would not.
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 Trail Blazers (-250 on the moneyline) as favorites in their matchup with the Detroit Pistons (+200 on the moneyline). A $100 bet on the Trail Blazers before the game starts would only make a $40 profit. You also know that the Trail Blazers often start slowly when they play at home and there’s a good chance the Pistons are able to keep this 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 Trail Blazers moneyline shift in your favor.
If the Pistons come out firing and claim an early lead, oddsmakers will move the lines to reflect the current score, increasing the value of a bet on the Trail Blazers 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 Portland (+180 underdogs) to win a game against the Chicago Bulls (-200 favorites), but at halftime, the Trail Blazers 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 Trail Blazers and betting on the Bulls moneyline at -300 during halftime, you’re hedging your initial bet on the Trail Blazers in an attempt to recover some money from a seemingly lost cause.
Parlays and Teasers
Parlay and Teaser bets combine multiple different bets together for an increased payout as long as 100% of your selected bets are successful.
A parlay is slightly more straightforward than a teaser. For example, the Portland moneyline (-140) against the Miami Heat seems like a good play, as well as the Golden State Warriors (-200 on the moneyline) to defeat the Houston Rockets. You can parlay both of those outcomes together and wager, increasing the odds on your return to +157.
A teaser allows bettors to move multiple point spreads or totals in their preferred direction. Let’s say you like the Trail Blazers (-4.5) in their matchup with the Denver Nuggets as much as you do the Minnesota Timberwolves (-5.5 favorites) in their game with 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 Portland (-0.5) / Minnesota (-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.

Franchise History
The Portland Trail Blazers joined the NBA in 1970. Like most expansion teams, the franchise struggled to find success in its first few seasons, failing to record a winning record in the first five years of its existence.
Then, in one of the biggest turnarounds in NBA history, Portland won the NBA championship in its sixth season in the league. It was head coach Jack Ramsay’s first year with the team and legendary big man, Bill Walton’s second.
Ramsay continued to coach the Trail Blazers for the next nine years, making the playoffs every year except the 1981-82 season. Portland would enjoy 20 straight years of postseason basketball after that.
It’s been the Damian Lillard era in Portland since his arrival in 2012. He’s the all-time leader in points and both three-pointers made and attempted. Many consider him the best player in franchise history, although Clyde Drexler makes a case for himself as the franchise’s career leader in minutes played and a number of other categories.
