Rugby, cricket & Gaelic
Scores and margins in rugby and cricket give forecasts something to measure, and the same fixtures raise a legal question once Northern Ireland enters the picture.
Winning margins and handicaps are the staples of rugby union and league, while cricket brings innings and match markets, and netball, hurling and Gaelic football round out the coverage.
The Gambling Act 2005 reaches England, Scotland and Wales. Northern Ireland is outside it and has older law, the Betting, Gaming, Lotteries and Amusements (Northern Ireland) Order 1985, so a Great Britain licence does not regulate betting there.
