The wonderful game of Basketball was invented all the way back in 1891 by a Canadian bloke called Dr James Naysmith who designed a game in order to keep his students occupied and fine tuned during the long cold winter months and to this day although a few things are a little different the game is still exactly the same as it was then except for a few thousand fans now screaming from the sidelines.

Although Basketball is on the up in and around Europe and the Southern hemisphere it has always been one of the biggest sports in the USA along with Baseball and American Football, Today many websites have caught on to the many different bets that can be offered on the Sport including winning point margins, number of points scored by individual players and teams and the general who will the game overall.

Michael Jordan was probably the pioneer that put the game of Basketball on the world map if truth be told (much like David Beckham is doing with Football in the US), during the nineties I remember Sports shops stocking all kinds of Chicago Bulls articles along with other big Basketball clubs from the US.

The game itself is played by five active players on each team trying to score points against one another by propelling a ball through a 10 feet (3 m) high hoop with different scoring zones offering Two and Three point scoring opportunities unless you have been fouled then you get chances to score from the edge of the arc with One point awarded for every basket scored.
