Melbet Basketball Betting in Somalia - Premier Betting Platform For Basketball Enthusiasts
Basketball is watched by over two billion fans worldwide, with a league/tournament available in every country. As such, it’s one of the most popular sports categories for betting at Melbet, with hundreds of betting markets available. Unlike football, this game is played in four quarters, which means more opportunities to bet on actions per quarter. If you’re a basketball enthusiast in Somalia, you want to join our premier betting platform for an unrivaled immersive experience.
With basketball betting on Melbet, you can wager on top events, including the National Basketball Association (NBA), the EuroLeague, the Australian National Basketball League, the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA), and many more. Our priority at Melbet remains customer satisfaction, so you should expect the best odds, bonuses, and other dedicated services to make your betting easier. In this article, we detail these features and the top basketball leagues to bet on.
Why The Melbet App Stands Out For Basketball Betting In Somalia
With the changes in the technological landscape of gambling worldwide, it’s almost necessary for basketball betting sites to have a mobile app. At Melbet, we understand the need for convenience and easy access to your favorite games/events. Hence, we’ve created a Melbet App for iOS and Android devices so you can bet from anywhere anytime. The mobile app is available for Android users to download directly from the website, while iOS users can find it on the App Store.
With the Melbet app, you can easily keep track of upcoming and live basketball games. Odds on basketball games are updated virtually every minute, and you can easily access statistics and results of former games to make informed wagers. You can set up notifications to alert you on upcoming games or when a live match is playing. The mobile app provides access to your bet history, and activities are saved so you never lose data when you switch between apps.
To download the app on your Android phone, you need an operating system of at least 4.1. For iOS, the minimum requirement is 12.0. Follow the instructions to download from the site or App Store, sign into your account, and start placing bets on your preferred basketball games.

Key Basketball Championships In Somalia
Somalia has a Somali Basketball Federation presided over by Mahamed Abdullahi Nur. This federation is home to the prominent Somalia men’s and women’s national basketball teams. The Somali Basketball Federation joined the International Basketball Federation in 1960.
Since its inception, the men’s team has participated in tournaments like the Afrobasket. They’ve qualified for the Afrobasket tournament five times since 1962, last qualifying in 1985. However, they’ve participated in other tournaments, including the African Championship for Men (eight participations), FIBA Afrobasket Preliminaries (2017 and 2021), and the South Pacific Games Basketball Tournament for Men (participated in 1999).
Somalia’s women's national team also has a record for participating in championship tournaments. These include the African Championship for Women Preliminaries (1968 & 1979), winning a silver medal, the FIBA Women’s Afrobasket Qualifiers (2019), and the South Pacific Games Basketball Tournament (1999). In addition, the country has a basketball team for teenagers, whose boys team participated in the qualifying round of the 2018 FIBA U18 African Championship.
At Melbet, we cover these events whenever the teams qualify for the tournaments. You’re guaranteed the best odds and hundreds of betting markets over these events. While you can bet on the team as a whole, you can also wager on the players of the teams, such as Abdi Faras, Yusuf Qaafow, and Faisal Aden, among several others. Join us to bet on Somalia at these championships via the mobile app or mobile/desktop site.
Top International Basketball Leagues
Melbet also covers various leagues across the globe. We list basketball leagues/tournaments by country, so you’re bound to find the most prominent tournaments to bet on by country. Typically, basketball leagues follow the National Basketball Association season, which runs from October to April. A standard league, as such, plays 82 games with 30 teams.
Like other sports events, Melbet covers these games as they play through the season, presenting you with odds and betting markets. Some top basketball leagues you can bet on at Melbet include the NBA, the Euroleague, the German Basketball League, the Spanish Basketball League, the Italian Basketball League, and the English Basketball League. In the following paragraphs, we detail some of these top leagues and their betting markets at Melbet.
North America League - National Basketball Association (NBA)
This is the most popular basketball league in the world, with billions of fans across the globe. The NBA schedule runs from October to April, featuring thirty teams sectioned into six groups consisting of five teams each. In each group, teams will face each other once, which leads to eight teams participating in a single-elimination tournament. How each team advances to this elimination stage is determined by their record in the group stage and what teams from the Eastern or Western conference finished second.
The elimination stage leads to the championship games, where the remaining teams play for the NBA Cup. In addition to the in-season tournament, there are the NBA finals that play from mid-May to June. Sixteen teams from the Eastern and Western conferences enter the tournament, playing in a best-of-seven series to determine the winner. Top teams in the NBA include the Golden State Warriors, Denver Nuggets, Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, Philadelphia 76ers, Milwaukee Bucks, and Cleveland Cavaliers, among several others.
Our basketball betting platform covers all events in the in-season tournaments or the NBA finals.

The league also consists of a domestic cup known as the Copa del Rey, a Supercup known as the Supercopa de Espana, and international cups, including the EuroLeague, Eurocup, Champions League, and the FIBA Europe Cup.
The teams that finish 17th and 18th at the end of the season are relegated to the LEB Oro.

Other teams in the Basketball league include Real Madrid, Barcelona, MoraBanc Andorra, Monbus Obradoiro, Joventut, Coviran Granada, Baskonia, and Basquet Girona, among others.

English Basketball League - British Basketball League
Founded 37 years ago, the British Basketball League is one of the most popular basketball tournaments for betting. It’s in the FIBA Europe Confederation, and this league is the highest tier in the country. Unlike the other leagues highlighted so far, the British Basketball League is contested by only ten teams from Scotland and England combined.
In addition to this BBL championship, there are three domestic knockout competitions, including the BBL Cup, the BBL Trophy, and the BBL Playoffs. At the end of the season, the top teams compete in international tournaments, such as the EuroCup, FIBA Europe Cup, and Champions League. The team with the most championship titles in this league is the Newcastle Eagles, with seven titles.
Other teams you can bet on in this British Basketball League include Bristol Flyers, Caledonia Gladiators, Leicester Riders, London Lions, Manchester Giants, Plymouth City Patriots, Sheffield Sharks, and Surrey Scorchers. Our Melbet basketball betting platform covers games from these teams, so you should be sure to bet on them whenever they have upcoming or live games.
Most Sought-After Basketball Teams For Betting
In the world of basketball, some teams are known to deliver better performances than others. If you’re looking to bet on teams in the National Basketball Association (NBA), then you want to wager on the Golden Warriors, Denver Nuggets, Boston Celtics, and LA Lakers. The Denver Nuggets are the current champions of the NBA, so they’re currently everyone’s choice for winning games.
The Boston Celtics and LA Lakers are two mighty teams in the NBA, holding 17 championship titles each. The Golden Lakers are a team that has been delivering spectacular performances recently, along with the Philadelphia 76ers. In the Liga ACB, Real Madrid and Barcelona are the two most sought-after teams to bet on. Baskonia has also moved up the ranks in the league and is guaranteed to deliver excellent performances and results when faced with teams other than Real Madrid and Barcelona. In other leagues, the Bayer Giants Leverkusen are popular in Germany, and the Armani Milano are sought after in Italy.
Understanding Basketball Odds
Basketball’s odds are presented in different formats, from decimal to Malaysian odds. However, by default, odds are set to decimal. This makes it easy for you to calculate your potential wins on the betting markets picked. In a basketball game, these odds can go as high as 13.00, especially when betting on a market such as “Will there be overtime?” If you pick a betting market with an odd of 3.50. It’ll appear on your bet slip, and you can specify an amount to wager.
If you wager 20 SOS on the event with 3.50 odds, your potential win will be (3.50 x 20) 70 SOS. Odds are summed up in accumulated bets to give you huge potential wins. For instance, you could select up to ten games with the odds adding up to 100. Betting 20 SOS on this accumulator bet means a potential win of 2,000 SOS. However, the catch with accumulator bets is that you must predict all the games currently to get and withdraw your winnings.
