US & other team sports

A line that reads -110 in New York turns up in Britain as 10/11 or 1.91, and the translation is part of the story. This section follows American and other team sports across that border.

Spreads and totals dominate the American football, basketball, baseball and ice hockey boards, with player markets close behind. Handball, volleyball, floorball and field hockey sit further down, with esports and kabaddi as outliers.

Britain’s prices are fractions or decimals, never in American style, and the conversion is sums only: divide the fraction’s top by its bottom, then add 1. Virtual events are a licence category in their own right, which certifies the product and not its rules.
