Rugby, cricket & Gaelic

Football odds have close relatives in the other team games of the British Isles, and the comparison helps explain how their markets are priced. This section also marks the place where the law changes.

Cricket brings innings and match markets; rugby union and league rely on handicaps and winning margins; the Gaelic games and netball keep markets of their own.

Northern Ireland lies outside the Gambling Act 2005, while a Gambling Commission licence covers England, Scotland and Wales only. For Gaelic games in particular, a Great Britain licence therefore settles nothing.
