US & other team sports

American leagues arrive in Britain through licensed bookmakers, and legal betting here means prices in British form. This section tracks how that translation works.

Prices in Britain are fractions or decimals; American odds are not used, and converting between them is a matter of simple arithmetic. In place of football’s win-draw-win these sports offer spreads, totals and player markets.

Basketball, American football, baseball and ice hockey take the lead, with handball, volleyball, kabaddi and esports further back. Virtual events sit under a licence category of their own, which tells only that the product is licensed and nothing of how it plays.
