Netball Betting Guide

During a game, the court is divided into three sections, offence, centre and defence, in these sections that are individual positions, three for offence, one for centre and three for defence, dribbling is not allowed and the ball must be passed on within three seconds. During a passage of play, defending players may intercept or defend passes and shots but physical contact is not allowed in any way, this will result in a foul, leading to a penalty. Only players in the offence can score points and shots can only be taken within the shooting circle.
