US & other team sports

Late-night American games are a staple of app notifications, and their markets need translating for a British audience. This section deals with that translation.

Headline sports are the American ones, meaning gridiron, basketball, baseball and ice hockey. Further down come handball, volleyball, kabaddi, esports and similar. Apps list spreads, totals and player props where football would have win-draw-win.

Britain uses fractions and decimals, so American odds do not appear, and converting between formats is arithmetic only. Virtual events count as a distinct licence category; that shows the product is licensed, while saying nothing about its rules.
