US & other team sports

Smaller British bookmakers cover American leagues by adapting them to local habits, and what they leave out says as much as what they keep. This section follows that adaptation.

Basketball, American football, baseball and ice hockey lead the list. Smaller team games trail behind: handball and volleyball, floorball, water polo, field hockey, kabaddi and the esports scene. Totals, spreads and player lines take the place of football’s win-draw-win.

British bookmakers quote a fraction or a decimal and never the American style, so a conversion is only arithmetic. A virtual event is its own licence category, so a licensed product still needs its rules read separately.
