Bet on Basketball

Basketball is a sport that is huge worldwide but not as much as it is in the Unites States of America where it always has, and probably always be one of, if not the biggest sport. It contests two teams of 5 players each with the basic aim being to score more points than the opposition.

To score points you pass the team from player to player until you feel have an opportunity o score points, to do this the ball is thrown through the air and aimed at a hanging basket which stands at an incredible 10ft high. Other than passing the ball to your players you can also keep the ball yourself but the ball must be dribbled down the court by bouncing it as you run, you are NOT allowed to keep hold of the ball as you run with it. Basketball is what is known as a non-contact sport, meaning physical contact is not allowed to win the ball off the opposing team.

In front of each basket is a D shape, if the ball is thrown into the hoop from inside this D then your team scored 2 points but if it thrown from outside the D your team gets an impressive 3 points, this is because it is notoriously harder to score a “3 pointer”. The biggest league in the world is the NBA which is the American league and the games are split into four quarters of 12 minutes. The biggest name to ever play the sport is Michael ‘Air’ Jordan who signed a ridiculously huge deal with sports giants Nike.
