Basketball was the most popular sport to bet on, about 50.3 percent, with football at 35.2 percent. However bets were also placed on volleyball, snooker, pool, handball and even Australian rules football.
During the first month of Scoreboard, 9,393 persons registered for an account, with 17,008 unique players.
