Rugby, cricket & Gaelic

Rugby, cricket and Gaelic fixtures fall at different times of the week and year, which makes them useful extra legs on an accumulator and awkward ones to price. This section looks at how the games are bet on and where the law changes.

Handicaps and winning margins lead in rugby union and league, while innings and match markets belong to cricket. Gaelic football and hurling are priced like other team contests, and netball completes the list.

England, Scotland and Wales fall under the Gambling Act 2005 and Gambling Commission licensing. Northern Ireland does not, and a Great Britain licence therefore settles nothing for a Gaelic fixture bet on there.
