US & other team sports

Team sports sit second on this site because their markets run on a different logic from a leg-by-leg darts match: spreads and totals replace a straight head-to-head price.

American football, basketball, baseball and ice hockey are the biggest names. Handball, volleyball, floorball, water polo, field hockey, kabaddi and esports are the smaller ones, each offering player markets beside the result.

Britain does not use American odds. A price appears as a fraction or a decimal, and turning one into the other is arithmetic. Virtual events carry a separate licence category; that confirms licensing of the product without describing its rules.
