In basketball betting, a popular line to bet on is the "2 or more 3 point FGs made in the first 3 minutes" line.

With this line, you are simply betting on whether or not there will be 2+ three-pointers hit in the first 3 minutes of the game.

For instance, let's look at a real line from a game between the Milwaukee Bucks and Chicago Bulls:

Yes, +110
No, -134

As you can see, the "Yes" line is a slight underdog, while the "No" line is a slight favorite.

If you think that the two teams are going to come out firing from 3-point land to start the game, you would obviously want to take the "Yes" side.

If you think that the two teams are unlikely to COMBINE for 2 three-pointers in the first three minutes of the game, you'd want to bet the No side.

It's important to note that this line is scored back on the combined three-point totals for the two teams in the first three minutes of the game.
