Combat & motorsport

Fighters and drivers are priced on a handful of results, and thin markets make the gap between one bookmaker’s odds and another’s easy to see. This section looks at where such markets come from.

For boxing, MMA and UFC the pricing turns on who wins, how, and in which round. Formula 1, NASCAR, other motor racing and cycling add podium places and fastest laps to the outright prices.

Advertising is bound by the CAP Code, which keeps athletes of under 25, real or apparent, from being shown gambling or taking a significant role in an advert. The code deals with who appears, not who bets; betting starts at 18.
