Combat & motorsport

A fight or a race ends in one result, and the odds on it read more simply than a football match with its draw. The section looks at how that single result is priced.

Fight markets centre on who wins, how, and in which round. Motorsport and cycling (Formula 1, NASCAR and the rest) add podium places and fastest laps, and boxing, MMA and UFC are the best-known fighting names.

Sports stars turn up in betting adverts, and the CAP Code limits it: no-one under 25, actually or apparently, may be shown gambling or take a significant role. That rule is about who may appear in an advert; the age for placing a bet is 18.
