Rugby, cricket & Gaelic

Team games with regional roots are priced much like racing fields, only with fewer names to weigh. This section follows them around the British Isles and marks where the law turns.

Rugby union and rugby league use handicaps and winning margins; cricket has its match and innings lines, with netball, hurling and Gaelic football beside them.

The Gambling Act 2005 and the Gambling Commission’s licensing cover England, Scotland and Wales only. Northern Ireland is outside the Act, so a Great Britain licence is no statement about betting there, which is a notable point for Gaelic games.
