What Basketball Is

Before you start basketball betting online at Parimatch, we would like to tell you about the rules of the game and the sport itself.

Basketball is a rather famous Olympic sport in which two teams of 5 take part. The purpose of each team is to throw the ball into the basket of the opponent more times than the other team will do in a given time.

The sport originally appeared in the United States in 1891, and it was not like the basketball that is played today. Ten years after the creation of the game, the Americans organized a demonstration tour at the Olympics in St. Louis, and already in 1946, the first Basketball Association of America appeared. For a long time, the sport had been growing, and in 1989, professional basketball players got a chance to compete internationally against other countries.

Since its establishment, the rules of the game changed drastically. In the beginning, there was never any question of ball-handling or any rules at all. But by 2004 a final version of the rules of basketball was formed, and below we’ll tell you everything you need to know about this sport. And then you can start betting on basketball at the Parimatch bookmaker company with full confidence. So, here are the basics that you need to know:

1. The first important thing to know about the game is how many players are on the team and how many play on the field. In basketball teams, there are 12 people, 5 of which take to the field and the rest are substitutes.
2. Ball handling. Players who have possess the ball on the field of play should move around the field hitting the ball on the floor. In other cases, if the player hold the ball too long or if he kicks deliberately to the ball during a match, this is a violation of the Laws of the Game.
3. How many periods and halves do a basketball match consist of? A match consists of 4 halves or periods, but the time for halves depends on the basketball association the team plays under. In general, the time given for one half is from 10 to 12 minutes.
4. How many and which shots are points for the team? If the ball is thrown into the basket at the free throw, the team receives 1 point. If the ball is thrown from close or mid-range closer to the 3-point line, the team scores 2 points. If the ball is thrown at the 3-point line, the team receives 3 points.
5. What is overtime, and when is it awarded? Overtime is an extra time during a match to determine the winner if both teams play to a draw. Overtime lasts 5 minutes, and if the teams tie again at the end of overtime, another overtime will be scheduled, and so on until one of the teams wins.
