US & other team sports

Totals and handicaps are familiar ground for cricket followers, and the American leagues build much of their betting on the same two ideas. That link explains the place of team sports in this site’s order.

In place of football’s plain win-draw-win, these sports bring spreads, totals and player markets. The big four from across the Atlantic (gridiron, basketball, baseball, ice hockey) lead, and esports, kabaddi, handball, floorball, field hockey, water polo and volleyball trail behind.

British prices come as fractions or decimals and American odds do not appear, so changing format takes only a little arithmetic. Virtual events have a licence category of their own; that shows a product is licensed but leaves its rules unstated.
