US & other team sports

Late-night American games produce overnight results, so settlement time becomes a practical matter for bettors on those sports. This section deals with the markets and their conventions.

American football, basketball, baseball and ice hockey are joined by esports, kabaddi, handball, volleyball and the minor field and court games such as floorball, water polo and field hockey. Spreads, totals and player markets are used instead of football’s win-draw-win.

British bookmakers do not quote American odds; fractions and decimals are used and converting between them is arithmetic. A separate licence category exists for virtual events, which establishes licensing and nothing about the product’s rules.
