Rugby, cricket & Gaelic

Regional sports are where independent bookmakers with local knowledge are most at home, yet the law changes as the map does. Both points are followed here.

In rugby, whether union or league, the lines are handicaps and winning margins. Cricket is priced by innings and by match. Netball, hurling and Gaelic football complete the group.

A Gambling Commission licence works under the Gambling Act 2005 in England, Scotland and Wales only. Northern Ireland sits outside the Act, which means that a Great Britain licence tells nothing of betting there and the point is sharpest for Gaelic games.
