How to bet on Nets games in NJ

NJ online sportsbooks make betting on the Nets easy. You simply need to sign up for an account, make a deposit into that account so you’ve got some cash to bet with, and browse through the Nets lines until you find something tasty you want to put some money on. It breaks down into three simple steps:

1. Sign up

Click through the link you find here to the website for the NJ online sportsbook you want to bet with. Then, sign up for an account on that web page or download the mobile sports betting app and sign up there.

Yes, they’re going to ask you for some personal information. No, it won't be too much more than your name, email, and the last four digits of your Social Security number.

You might also be asked if you’ve got a promo or bonus code. Find that right on this page and enter it there to make sure you get the best bonus on the market.

2. Make a deposit

NJ online sportsbooks make depositing money even easier than signing up for an account. Deposit methods include online banking, third-party payment processors (PayPal, Skrill, etc), debit and credit cards, and cash at affiliated Atlantic City casinos or NJ retail sportsbooks.

For most online banking methods you simply plug in the details and the funds can be accessed almost immediately.

3. Browse lines, place bets

After that, betting on the Brooklyn Nets is as easy as browsing through the Brooklyn Nets betting markets and clicking on any bet that suits your fancy. The NJ online sportsbook will instantly create a bet slip.

You enter the amount you want to wager on that bet slip and the sportsbook will instantly show you its potential payout. Finally, click the tab at the bottom of the bet slip to place the bet.

Of course, you can also go back to browsing, add more bets to the slip, and turn multiple bets into a parlay or leave them as multiple individual bets right on the bet slip. Once again, placing the bet or multiple bets is as easy as entering the amount you want to bet for each on that bet slip and clicking the tab at the bottom of the bet slip to place the bet.

Nets live betting

You can bet on all kinds of Nets action before tip-off but NJ online sportsbooks also feature NBA live betting. That means you can bet on a lot of that same Nets action after tip-off. NJ online sportsbooks will have live betting for every Nets game, and every NBA game, all season long.

That means you can wager on which team will win each quarter, half, or the entire game, at odds that change with the action on the court. Plus, NBA live betting opens up a few more props markets as well, allowing you to bet on which players will stuff the stats in each quarter, half, or the entire game, at odds that change with every bucket, rebound, and assist.

It’s bound to make a big game like a Nets-Heat matchup even more exciting. Plus, since the speed where NBA live betting takes place is perfectly suited for mobile sports betting, it’s going to turn your iPhone with your favorite sports betting app installed into the perfect big Nets game watching companion.

Betting on the Nets from NYC

Whether you take the PATH subway, the train from one Penn Station to the other, drive across the George Washington Bridge, or swim across the Hudson River, getting from N.Y. to N.J. is easy, doesn’t take too long, and gives you the ability to bet on the Nets with any NJ online sportsbooks you like.

While you have to be 21 or over and inside your state lines to place bets with an NJ online sportsbook, you don’t have to be a New Jersey resident. Anyone can do it.

You can sign up for an account, deposit money in the account, and browse through the betting markets all from New York. You just need to cross over into New Jersey to place a bet. Once you do, you can head back to N.Y. to watch the Nets play, or stick around N.J. to live bet on the game.

Either way, any winnings will be automatically credited to your account, which you can access from both N.J. and N.Y. Just remember, if you want to place a bet, you must be in New Jersey. Anything else you want to do with your NJ online sportsbook account can be done from inside either state.

Brooklyn Nets betting lines explained

The line for a Nets-Heat game, for example, might look something like the following at any of the top NJ online sportsbooks:

• MIA Heat -3.5 (-110) -175 U 203.5 (-110)
• BKN Nets +3.5 (-110) +155 O 203.5 (-110)

First, you see the spread with the odds in brackets. The Heat are 3.5-point favorites over the Nets in this case. That means the Heat must win by four or more for bets on them to pay. The Nets have to win or lose by three or less, for point spread bets on them to pay. In both cases, the -110 odds indicate you’ll win $100, plus your bet back, for every $110 wagered.

Second, you see the moneyline. The Nets are +155 underdogs and the Heat are -175 favorites in this case. That means, if the Nets win the game, you’ll win $155, plus your bet back, for every $100 you bet on them. It also means, if the Heat wins, you’ll win $100, plus your bet back, for every $175 you bet on them.

Third, you see the totals line with the odds in brackets. In this case, you’re betting that the total combined score by both the Heat and the Nets will be either over, or under, 203.5. Bet the over or the under, and if you’re right, you’ll win $100, plus your bet back, for every $110 wagered.

Nets Vegas odds vs. online odds

Nets game odds open up the same at most sportsbooks, whether they are online and mobile sportsbooks in New Jersey or retail sportsbooks inside a casino in Las Vegas.

You might hear a lot of talk about Vegas odds and Vegas lines, but that’s just because they had odds and lines long before anywhere else. For the most part, the lines open up the same in Vegas as they do anywhere and everywhere else. Where they might differ is where these lines end up just before tip-off, as lines move independently based on betting at a specific sportsbook.

That means a line might change at one NJ sportsbook and not another, or a line might be altered by one NJ sportsbook and a retail sportsbook in Las Vegas.

In setting lines, sportsbooks are trying to draw equal betting to each side so they can realize the vig or the difference in what is bet by the losing side and paid to the winning side. If more money is bet on one side at one sportsbook, that sportsbook will move that line to try to get back to even.

Local teams draw more attention and betting action at NJ online sportsbooks than they do in Las Vegas. As a result, local sportsbooks are more likely to see more money bet on one side and move the lines. That’s why Nets lines might open the same in Vegas as they do locally, but end up quite different by tip-off.

Brooklyn Nets team history

The Brooklyn Nets were the two-time ABA champion New York Nets in the early 1970s and the New Jersey Nets from 1977 to 2012. The team moved to Brooklyn and became the Brooklyn Nets in 2012. The Nets have never won an NBA title, although they did win two consecutive Eastern Conference championships while in New Jersey, in the 2001–02 and 2002–03 NBA seasons.

The 2001–02 New Jersey Nets won 52 regular-season games and made it to the NBA Finals where they were swept by the LA Lakers. It was All-Star point guard Jason Kidd’s first year with the Nets and he led the team alongside rookie Richard Jefferson and second-year player Kenyon Martin.

The Nets acquired All-Star center Dikembe Mutombo and forward Rodney Rogers ahead of the 2002–03 Season. Mutombo spent most of the season injured, but Kidd still led the team to the NBA Finals, where they lost to the San Antonio Spurs in six games.

The Nets best starting five in Brooklyn is widely considered the team they put together ahead of the 2013-2014 season, adding Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce to Brook Lopez, Deron Williams, and Joe Johnson. However, Lopez got hurt, and Garnett, Pierce, and Williams underperformed along the way to a five-game loss to the Miami Heat in the second round of the playoffs.

Superstar ‘Dr. J’ Julius Erving was the player that led the New York Nets to two ABA championships in the early 1970s.
