US & other team sports

Tips for American leagues arrive in the language of spreads and totals, which differs from the three-way football bet. This section explains how that language is carried into British prices.

Basketball, baseball, ice hockey and American football draw the biggest followings. Smaller team sports such as handball, volleyball, kabaddi and esports trail them, and player markets are common in all of these.

Prices in Britain appear as fractions or decimals, and American odds are not used; converting one to the other is plain arithmetic. Virtual events are a separate licence category, so a licensed product still leaves its own rules unstated.
