The Osterreichische Basketball Bundesliga (OBL) or Austrian Basketball League (ABL) in English, is the top men's professional basketball league in Austria.
The league was known as A-Liga (A-League) until the 2004–05 season. During the 2008–09 season, it was called the Osterreichische Basketball Bundesliga (ÖBL). Since then, it has been named the Admiral Basketball League, after the league's main sponsor, Admiral Sportwetten.
The ABL is composed of nine teams. Each team plays the other eight teams four times, creating a 36-game regular-season schedule. After that, the top six teams move on to the playoffs. The two semi-finals winners meet in a best-of-seven championship series.
Point Spread Basketball Wagers (Straight Wagers)

Money Line Basketball Wagers
The team wagered on just has to win the game. The amount that bettors lay or take for each game may vary. The money line that is listed when the wager is placed is the money line kept, regardless of any line movement.
For example, a bettor could choose one of two wagers on the following match-up: L.A. Lakers -200 at Portland Trailblazers +180. If the Lakers win, the bettor who laid $200.00 wins $100.00. If Portland wins, the bettor who bet $100.00 wins $180.00. Place a money line basketball wager now.
Totals (Over / Under) Basketball Wagers
In totals wagers, bettors must wager on whether the actual combined scores of the two teams will either be over or under a certain pre-determined number, called the total for the game. All totals lay $1.10 to win $1.00, unless it is otherwise indicated.
For example, in a Warriors - Cavaliers game, the over / under given is 187. The combined final score of both teams must exceed 187 for bettors who wager on "Over" to win. For those who wager on "Under" to win, the combined final score of both teams must be less than 187. If the combined score equals 187 the game is considered "No Action" and the original wager is returned. Though bookmakers usually add a half point in the totals to avoid ties.

Quarter / Half-Time Basketball Wagers
All wagers must go the full quarter or half for action. All quarter / half-time wagers are calculated the same as a straight wager unless otherwise indicated.

Parlay Basketball Wagers (Multiples)
A parlay is a bet on 2 or more teams (selections) or propositions in no particular order. All teams wagered on in a parlay must win. If there is a tie, the parlay reverts down to the next lowest number for payoff. For example if a player selects 4 teams, and one ties, the parlay becomes a three team parlay. For a 2 team parlay - a tie and win becomes a straight bet (-110) payout. Place a parlay basketball wager now.
Teaser Basketball Wagers
A teaser is a selection of two or more teams in one wager in which the point spread is adjusted in the bettor's favor. The number of teams selected and the number of points selected determines the payout odds. A "Tie" or "No Action" and a "Win" on a two team teaser shall constitute a "No Action" wager. A "Tie" or a "No Action" and a "Loss" on a two team teaser shall constitute a "Losing" wager. Ties on a three or more team teaser shall revert to the next lowest betting bracket. For example a tie on a three team teaser becomes a two team teaser. Place a teaser basketball wager now.
Future and Proposition (Props) Basketball Wagers
Future wagers are based on the outcome of events that happen each year. All wagers are final. There will be no payouts until the conclusion of the specified season.
