Badminton

In my previous post, I've talked a little about badminton. Just some information about the equipment used for badminton. In this post, I would like to continue more about badminton. So here, I will talk about the scoring system and the strokes used while playing badminton.

SCORING SYSTEM & SERVICE
i) SERVING
   - The shuttlecock must pass over the net into the opponent's court when the server serves. Badminton is almost similar as tennis. The only difference is that a badminton serve must be hit below waist height standing inside their service courts and the shuttlecock is not allowed to bounce at all. The serve will be passed to their opponent(s) when the serving side loses.
ii) SCORING
   - The scoring is easy. Each games will be played to 21 points but if the scores are tied as 20-all, then the game will continue until the scores are two-points ahead. The game will be played up to a maximum of 30 points.

STROKES
FOREHAND & BACKHAND
Basically, forehand and backhand strokes are the basic strokes in badminton. To use them effectively, obviously you need to have a higher level of skills. What is a forehand stroke? If you're a right-handed person, your forehand stroke will be on your right while your left side is where your backhand stroke will be. Forehand strokes are hit with the front of the hand leading whereas backhand strokes are hit with the back of the hand leading. Players will attempt to play as many forehand strokes as possible because there are disadvantage in playing a backhand strokes. First disadvantage for a backhand stroke is that the player must turn their back to their opponent which restricted their view of them and the court. The second disadvantage is that a backhand stroke can't be hit with as much power as the ones used for a forehand stroke.

Badminton is very easy to be played as long as you have the equipment needed and enough players, you can start your game either in the court or at the field which is not really a good place to play badminton because of the wind. Sometimes, people are so addicted to the game that they started betting on it. Rarely on badminton game but other sports game.
They started to create their own group of friends and started betting but sometimes, people who got so addicted to the bet got broke and ran away which caused a lot of problems not only to themselves but to people who are involved at the same time. In this generation, everything is now advanced. With the knowledge or the internet, you could search for anything that you wanted. Want to bet on the game you're interested, fret not. Just online and search for the right and trusted site and off you go with your bet.
