Volleyball is a minority sport for British bookmakers, second-tier to football, horse racing and tennis in both coverage and liquidity. That ranking matters less than the structure behind it: the sport plays over a year, with international club and country seasons that do not pause for the Premier League, and a single match settles quickly enough to read in a tea break. The appeal for an online bettor is honest — there are markets when there are matches, settled from public score feeds, and the prices on offer at a licensed bookmaker carry the same margin mechanics as anywhere else on the site.

This page maps that space for a Great Britain reader in 2026. It walks the paths that exist — long-term and in-play, mainstream and crypto, mainstream fiat and exchange-style — names what each one costs in time, in stakes or in protection, and puts ten Gambling Commission-licensed apps side by side on the licences and terms that the comparison actually turns on. The aim is to end with a clear picture of the choice: which operator suits which reader, and what trade-off each one takes.

Data and licence claims current as of 27 October 2026, verified against the Gambling Commission’s public register.

A primer on the sport that sits behind the markets

Volleyball comes in two forms that a bookmaker’s programme treats separately. Indoor volleyball is six-a-side, played on a court that measures 9 m by 18 m, with the net at 2.43 m for men and 2.24 m for women. A match is the best of five sets; the first four sets go to 25 points with a two-point lead, the deciding fifth set to 15 points with the same lead. Beach volleyball is two-a-side, on a smaller court with a faster format that has been part of the Summer Olympics since 1996 (Atlanta), indoor volleyball since 1964 (Tokyo). The indoor game has been Olympic longer than most readers have been alive, and the calendar it sets still shapes what the betting programme carries.

The format does two things for a bettor. Because a match settles inside a couple of hours and the rally scoring system keeps points ticking over, live betting has a natural cadence: every point shifts the price, and the cash-out button gets a workout. Because the international season runs almost year-round — Italian SuperLega, Brazilian Superliga, Russian Superliga, Polish PlusLiga, Turkish Sultanlar/Effort, Japanese V.League, plus FIVB club and country competitions — markets are rarely dark for long. That rhythm is part of why the sport is on the programme at all.

A second point is less obvious. Volleyball does not draw a stadium of regular punters in Great Britain, so the bookmaker’s programme tends to be slimmer than for, say, tennis or basketball: match winner, set winner, handicap on sets, total sets over/under, and at the larger books a few player or team-total markets. Liquidity is thinner, which is why prices on volleyball at smaller books can be off-market for stretches. The bigger sites set the line; the smaller ones copy it. Anyone comparing prices across this set will see that quickly.

How a Great Britain bookmaker is licensed

A bookmaker that takes a bet from a customer in Great Britain needs a licence from the Gambling Commission, the regulator set up under the Gambling Act 2005. Since the Gambling (Licensing and Advertising) Act 2014 the requirement is at the point of consumption: an operator whose remote facilities are used in Great Britain needs the licence wherever the company itself is based. A Gibraltar, Malta or Curaçao licence is not a substitute for GB access. There is no state monopoly and no cap on the number of licences — the register is open.

A bookmaker’s licence is graded by category. The relevant one for this page is “remote general betting standard (real events)” — the category under which every brand reviewed below is listed. Other categories cover pool betting, virtual events, betting intermediaries (exchanges) and limited stakes. Each brand in this ranking is on the register as the holder of a remote general betting standard licence for real events, and that is the only licence test this page makes.

The way to check a brand is straightforward: the Commission’s public register can be searched by business name, trading name, domain or account number. The entry gives the licence number, the holder’s legal name, the trading names it covers and the licence categories. The domains on the register are not restricted to .co.uk; licensed brands use .com freely, so a .com domain does not, on its own, prove anything. The test is the register entry.

The corollary is that no single brand in this ranking is the only licensed one. A licence is the floor for legal access in Great Britain, and many brands clear it. The choice on this page is between those licensed brands.

What the licence gives a customer, and what it takes

A Gambling Commission licence gives a customer a set of consumer protections that an offshore site does not. A licensed remote bookmaker has to be part of GAMSTOP, the national multi-operator online self-exclusion scheme that has been a licence condition since 31 March 2020. Self-exclusion periods run six months, one year, five years, or five years with auto-renewal, and after the minimum term the exclusion stays in place for seven years unless the customer asks GAMSTOP to remove it. The approved alternative dispute-resolution route is through an ADR body recognised by the Commission. A licence also ties the brand to the LCCP social responsibility code, the marketing rules, and the 10x cap on bonus wagering that came into force on 19 January 2026.

The same conditions take things back. Identity verification — name, address, date of birth — happens before the first deposit or first bet, including with a free bet or bonus, a rule in force since 7 May 2019. A financial vulnerability check under LCCP condition 3.4.4, in place since 30 August 2024, applies when deposits minus withdrawals exceed £150 in a rolling 30 days; since 28 February 2025 it is a public-record check (bankruptcy, county court judgments), not an income check. A financial risk assessment — the “affordability checks” in the press — has been announced in a staged plan, with no start date. Deposit limits are the customer’s choice: the operator must offer a gross deposit limit on a fixed time frame, with the first phase live since 31 October 2025 and a second phase postponed to 30 September 2026; whether that second phase is now live is not established. Anonymous play is gone at a licensed bookmaker.

The frame for a Great Britain customer is therefore: identity at the door, self-exclusion available at any moment, a hard cap on bonus terms, a regulator with a complaints route. None of that is a wagering tip, and none of it changes how volleyball markets are priced — but it is the floor on which any choice about where to bet sits.

Offshore sites and the cost of skipping the licence

An unlicensed site is one to which a Great Britain customer can technically still send a stake, because no offence aimed at a customer who merely bets on such a site has been found in the Act. The cost of taking that route shows up in what the customer loses, not in what they commit.

Without a Commission licence a brand is outside GAMSTOP, so the self-exclusion a customer has set up does not reach their account there. There is no Commission complaints route and no approved ADR body for a dispute. Bonus terms are not bound by the 10x cap, so a wagering requirement can run much higher. There is no financial vulnerability check at the £150 rolling-30-days line, so the behavioural cues the licensed bookmaker is required to watch — chase patterns, deposit spikes, signs of harm — go unacted on. Funds can be withheld without a British consumer redress route, and the brand is under no obligation to pay out within a given window. Operationally the experience can look identical to a licensed bookmaker, until something goes wrong.

Enforcement against unlicensed sites is disruption, not blocking: cease-and-desist notices, search-engine referrals, work with payment providers. The Commission is being given, or is about to be given, court-order DNS blocking powers; ISP-level blocking is not yet in operation. Honest framing, then: licensed gives checks, limits, GAMSTOP and the bonus cap, but with verification at the door; unlicensed gives anonymity and looser bonuses, but no British consumer protection. Neither is “the safe” choice by default; the trade-off is real.

The crypto path and what it actually moves

A handful of brands accept cryptocurrency deposits. The mechanics here are limited: the deposit is converted into pounds at the wallet’s own rate and credited as sterling; the bet, the price and the payout all happen in fiat. Crypto, in other words, is a payment rail, not a betting instrument, and it does not change how a volleyball match is priced. It does change three things around it.

The first is verification. A bookmaker that takes crypto does not, by that fact, skip the Commission’s identity checks; the GB-licensed brands are bound by them regardless of payment rail. A few offshore brands accept crypto with little or no verification, which is the actual anonymity trade-off — and which sits, by definition, outside the Commission’s reach. The second is fees and conversion. The crypto-to-fiat conversion carries the wallet’s exchange spread, typically 1–3%, plus any on-chain network fee on smaller coins. The third is settlement time. Bitcoin and Ethereum settlement is in minutes when the network is quiet, hours when it is not; stablecoins on faster chains settle more predictably. None of this affects a winning bet on a volleyball match, which is paid out in pounds at the sportsbook’s normal speed.

The honest read: at a licensed bookmaker, crypto is a deposit method with its own friction and not an anonymity upgrade; at an unlicensed one, it is part of a different product, with different consumer protection, that a Great Britain customer steps into by leaving the register. Anyone who wants a crypto-funded stake on a live volleyball set should weigh the deposit friction against no alternative.

Bonuses and free bets on a volleyball stake

The marketing word “free bet” sits on top of a small set of standard mechanics, and a volleyball punter catches all of them. The headline price on most welcome offers is a free bet of fixed value, credited on the placement of a qualifying wager; the qualifying wager is usually a single at minimum odds (commonly around 1/2 or 4/6, depending on the brand), settled after the event. The free bet itself has its own terms: it expires (Sky Bet’s free bets expire 30 days after crediting), is restricted to certain markets (Sky Bet’s can be used only on single or each-way markets, not multiples), is non-withdrawable (the stake does not return with the winnings) and may carry a cap on the winnings. Each operator writes its own combination, and the only honest way to use one is to read the terms that come with it.

The 10x cap on wagering requirements, in force since 19 January 2026, applies to bonuses (a bonus that needs to be turned over 50x is no longer compliant). Whether it applies to free bets with no wagering condition is not established. Mixed-product promotions — an offer that requires gambling on two or more product types such as betting, casino, bingo and lottery — are banned. So a welcome offer that hands out a casino bonus to anyone who has placed a sports bet is, as a structural shape, gone.

What a free bet is worth, on average, depends on the price the bettor takes. The free-bet value formula is the right way to think about it: value = free-bet amount × (odds − 1) ÷ odds × payout share of the market that price sits in. On a £10 free bet at 5.0 on a market with a 95% payout share, the expected value is £10 × (5 − 1) ÷ 5 × 0.95 = £7.60 — and that is before any terms that cap the winnings. The comparison across brands is not which one shouts louder; it is the smaller combination of a higher-value free bet, looser expiry and fewer market restrictions.

Live betting, in-play and cash-out

Volleyball’s rhythm is friendly to in-play. Rallies settle every point, the format is short, and the score feed is public — so every licensed bookmaker with an in-play product will list a volleyball match as it is played. The product runs on a price feed that updates automatically, with a delay of a few seconds to manage the customer’s view.

Cash-out turns that feed into a settlement button. A bookmaker will, at most stages of the match, offer to settle a bet early at a price that reflects the current state of play and the uncertainty still left in the match. The price is the bookmaker’s, not the market’s; whether the offered cash-out value is good depends on whether the bettor judges the offered price closer to true probability than the price on the same outcome at the end of the match. Some books offer full cash out (settle the whole bet), partial cash out (settle a chosen portion and let the rest run) and auto cash out (set a threshold and let the system do it). Spreadex, one of the brands in this ranking, offers one-click, auto and partial cash-out across its fixed-odds and spread books.

Live streaming is the second thing in-play gives a customer. Some books stream selected events for logged-in customers who have a positive balance or have placed a bet on the match. Volleyball on a free-tier stream is rarer than football or horse racing, but international tournament coverage does show up — FIVB club championships and country competitions, the Olympics, and the Volleyball Nations League. The product differs by brand, and a volleyball punter who watches more than bets will find that the streaming rights settle on one or two operators at most.

Live betting tips, in the marketplace sense, are a search phrase the customer meets often. The honest framing is that the price is the price; the only way to know whether the offered price is better than the closing price is to have a model of the market. Betting tips and predictions in this niche read either as marketing copy for a tipster subscription or as a statistical model with a track record the seller makes available. Either is a product the customer can buy; neither is something the price feed will give them for free. The calibrated move is to use live betting for what it is good at — locking in or cutting exposure to a match already in play — rather than as a back door into something the pre-match price would have given them.

Bet types and how they settle on a volleyball match

The set of markets a Great Britain bookmaker offers on volleyball varies by brand and by event. At a mainstream bookmaker on a top-tier match, the programme typically runs:

• Match winner — home win, away win. Two-way (a clear favourite and an underdog) by default. The simplest market, and the benchmark against which the others compare.
• Set betting — the correct score in sets, e.g. 3-0, 3-1, 3-2. Higher odds because the market splits into six outcomes.
• Handicap on sets — e.g. -1.5 sets at home. The handicap works on the set score, not on the points.
• Total sets — over or under a line, typically 3.5 or 4.5. A marker on whether the match goes to a deciding set.
• Set winner — independent market on each set. Useful for live betting, where the score feed at the end of a set settles it.
• Handicap on points — only at the bigger books on the bigger matches. Less common.

Each-way betting, popular in horse racing, is not a core volleyball market; most books do not price each-way on a two-way match line. A bet builder — Spreadex offers one across fixed odds or spreads, bet365 offers Bet Builder+ across one event — does work on volleyball at the larger books for selected matches, mostly match-result + total sets or set-score combinations.

Settlement rules matter. A bet on match winner settles on the official result at the end of the match; a walkover counts as a win for the side awarded it; a match abandoned before completion is usually void (stake returned). The rules are operator-by-operator and need a glance at the terms before staking. Live bets are settled on the result at the moment of the cash-out click or, if the bet runs to the end, the official result.

Odds, the margin, and what the price actually contains

A price on a two-way market is built from the bookmaker’s estimate of the probability of each outcome, scaled so that the implied probabilities add up to more than 100%. The amount above 100% is the bookmaker’s margin — also called the overround — and is the slice of every pound staked that the operator expects to keep on that market in the long run. The mechanism is the same on volleyball as on any other sport.

The margin formula is straightforward, and worth doing for any market the customer wants to understand. The payout share of the market is 1 ÷ (1/odds₁ + … + 1/oddsₙ) over all outcomes; the margin is 1 − that payout share. Take an illustrative two-way volleyball match priced at decimal odds 1.90 / 1.90 (fractional 9/10). The payout share works out to 1 ÷ (1/1.90 + 1/1.90) = 1 ÷ (0.5263 + 0.5263) = 1 ÷ 1.0526 ≈ 0.9500. The margin is therefore roughly 5% — typically stated as a band of around 4.5–5.5% once rounding is allowed. A market priced at 1.85 / 1.85 would carry a larger margin (1 ÷ (1/1.85 + 1/1.85) = 1 ÷ 1.0811 ≈ 0.9250, margin ≈ 7.5%); a market at 1.95 / 1.95 a smaller one (margin ≈ 2.5%). The closer to evens the price sits, the smaller the margin — at exactly evens (2.00 / 2.00) the margin is zero, which never happens on a real market.

What that delivers is a rule of thumb: the bigger the favourite, the larger the implied margin; the closer to evens, the tighter. On volleyball’s main-line match winner the bigger books run margins in a band that brackets football, while smaller books sometimes stray wider on less-played fixtures. The price the customer sees is not “the true probability” — it is the bookmaker’s view of it with the margin already in. The smaller the margin, the larger the share of every pound staked that returns to customers in aggregate.

Picking a price: a sequencing note for volleyball bets

Three steps hold across most markets. First, find the price on the operator the customer trusts — the bigger books with volleyball depth tend to be tightest on match winner, looser on totals and set betting. Second, check the price on a second book and, where present, on a betting exchange; the exchange price (back or lay, with commission) is the closest publicly available read on the true probability. Third, place the bet at the price that gives the best expected value, accounting for the customer’s own assessment. The bookmaker’s margin is what the arithmetic quantifies; the tipster’s edge is what the bettor brings; the difference is the seat the customer is paying for.

Volleyball’s programme is deepest on national leagues (Italian SuperLega, Brazilian Superliga, Polish PlusLiga, Russian Superliga), international club championships (CEV Champions League, FIVB Club World Championship), country competitions (Volleyball Nations League, European Championships, World Championships) and the Olympics. Beach volleyball runs on a parallel calendar with its own FIVB tour. The customer can shop the price on almost any of these fixtures; the harder fixtures are national-team qualifiers and lower-tier leagues, where the price feed narrows to one or two operators.

Major volleyball tournaments in the betting programme

Four competition clusters fill most of the year’s programme. The Olympic cycle is the headline: volleyball has been an Olympic sport since 1964 (Tokyo, indoor), with beach volleyball added at Atlanta 1996. The next Summer Games shape the calendar around them, and the FIVB qualification path runs for two to three years before the event.

At country level, the Volleyball Nations League is the annual top-tier national-team competition that replaced the old World League and Grand Champions Cup structures, running from late spring to early summer each year. The European Championships, the World Championship and the continental cups are the other touchstones on the national-team calendar. Each has men’s and women’s draws and a beach variant.

At club level, the Italian SuperLega, Brazilian Superliga, Polish PlusLiga and Russian Superliga are the strongest domestic leagues; the CEV Champions League is the European club title; the FIVB Club World Championship brings continental champions together. The Turkish, French, German and Japanese leagues round out the market depth.

Volleyball betting on GB-licensed sites covers most of these. The bigger books list matches from the top four or five leagues and the major national-team tournaments; the second tier of books focuses on the headline events. A customer who wants the Italian SuperLega or the CEV Champions League can find it; a customer who wants the Turkish Sultanlar or the Japanese V.League may not, or may only find it pre-match without a live offer.

Licensing and terms — the comparison table

The table below puts the ten brands in this ranking side by side on the two matters that the licence question turns on: the Gambling Commission account under which the brand is listed, and what the operator’s own published terms state on a material question tied to the brand. Each licence is a remote general betting standard licence for real events; each licence holder is the legal entity that holds the licence, which can carry several trading names — so the corporate name is the legal one, the brand the customer meets is the trading one.

The columns carry what the comparison actually turns on: a verifiable licence entry on the Commission’s register, and a clear statement of what the brand publishes about its offer or product. Between the two, the customer can match what they were told in the marketing to what is on the register and to what the terms say — and that is the whole licensing test for this page.

The ten licensed apps, one by one

A single paragraph per brand, with a verdict that names what fits and what to keep in mind.

BetTom lists volleyball only thinly — the brand’s programme runs alongside a tighter casino offering, and the welcome shape (a matching sports and casino bundle) cuts across the new mixed-product rule’s intent without crossing it. The licence is in order, the GAMSTOP membership is implied by the licence category, and the bundle is worth a glance for any reader who wants to put a single stake across both products.

BetGoodwin is a smaller racing-led brand that carries the Sub-Cover product on its welcome, a horse-racing-specific promotion that returns a stake if a selected horse fails to start. Volleyball is not a core market for it. The brand suits a racing reader who wants a small welcome and a tightly written terms page; the volleyball interest is incidental.

Tote is the pool-betting heritage brand — a structure where customers bet against each other into a pool and the dividend is paid from it, less a take. The licence on the register covers remote general betting standard; the product is a structural alternative to fixed odds. For a volleyball reader the offer is a familiar sportsbook on top of the pool product; the pool experience itself is for racing and selected pool events.

Betfred‘s app covers 21 sports with a casino side, and is a high-street heritage brand. The licence is a Gibraltar-incorporated holder running a GB remote licence, the arrangement that most of the larger listed brands use. The brand suits a reader who wants a familiar logo and a long market list, with volleyball within that, and who is comfortable with the casino-style promotions that sit beside it.

BetMGM is operated by LeoVegas Gaming PLC, the bigger European operator, on its GB-licensed UK product. The welcome is four free bets, with a clear minimum-odds, opt-in and expiry structure. The brand is one of the larger on the programme and one of the more international in feel. Its volleyball coverage tracks the top leagues; a customer who wants a mainstream bookmaker with a structured welcome will find it here.

Kwiff‘s distinctive feature is its “surprise” pricing mechanic — a customer can be awarded an enhanced price on a selection at random, with the boost applied at settlement rather than at placement. The licence is held by Eaton Gate Gaming Limited, with the brand operated under trademark by Spryme Ltd. For a volleyball reader it is a smaller bookmaker product, useful where the customer wants a price boost on a selected fixture, with the usual Commission protections in place.

Bet600 is a smaller sportsbook with a Best Odds Guaranteed offer on horse racing that pays out at the SP where the SP exceeds the early or show price. Volleyball is part of the wider sports programme. The brand suits a customer who wants a focused bookmaker with the racing mechanic built in, and who treats volleyball as a side market to a racing book.

QuinnBet has a Best Odds Guaranteed offer with a stated maximum benefit of £150 per customer per race, applying to singles, multiples and system bets from 10:00am on Irish and UK racing. Volleyball sits alongside. The brand works for a customer who races across both books and wants a small system-bet bookmaker.

Spreadex combines fixed-odds sports betting with financial spread betting on the same app — the second of those is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority for the spread product, and by the Gambling Commission for the fixed-odds. The spread product can lose more than the deposit, and the legal disclosure says so. For a volleyball reader the combination is unusual: it is a regulated spread book as well as a fixed-odds sportsbook, with one-click, auto and partial cash-out, a Bet Builder across fixed odds or spreads, and live streaming of selected sports. The brand suits a customer who wants spread and fixed-odds on one login, and who treats the FCA-side product as a different animal from the GB-licensed sports side.

Sky Bet has the largest UK customer base in this list, with a sports welcome and a free-bet structure that is unusually specific on the terms: free bets expire 30 days after crediting, are usable on single or each-way markets only (not multiples, excluding virtuals), are non-withdrawable and do not return the stake with winnings. The brand is the cleanest reading of “mainstream bookmaker with explicit free-bet terms”.

Protecting a stake: where to turn if a bet goes wrong

A licensed bookmaker is bound by the LCCP social responsibility code to have safer-gambling controls in place. The customer-facing tools are deposit limits (the customer’s choice, applied on a fixed time frame), timeouts, self-exclusion, and activity statements. GAMSTOP is the national online self-exclusion scheme, mandatory for every licensed online operator since 31 March 2020, with the periods as set out earlier in this page. Signing up with GAMSTOP closes every online account the customer has at every licensed brand that does identity verification against the same data — which is all of them.

If the customer’s dispute is with a single licensed brand, the route starts at the operator and, if that does not resolve it, goes to an ADR body the Commission has approved. IBAS (Independent Betting Adjudication Service) is the standard route for sports betting. For a complaint that the brand has breached its licence conditions, the Commission’s complaints function is open. None of these routes is a substitute for care at the betting stage; they are what a licensed brand is bound to support.

The non-commercial help lines sit alongside: GamCare (which runs the National Gambling Helpline, open 24 hours), GambleAware (which funds treatment), the NHS gambling clinics for severe cases, and Gamblers Anonymous for peer support. The deposit limit, the timeout and the self-exclusion are the routine tools; the helpline is what the customer reaches for once a routine decision stops being routine. The frame the LCCP builds is that the operator must offer the routine tools, and must act on the cues — the chase patterns, the deposit spikes — that those tools cannot catch.

The reading of the choice in 2026

A customer who wants to bet on volleyball from Great Britain, in 2026, has a clean set of paths through a familiar structure. The path through the larger mainstream bookmakers — BetMGM, Betfred, Sky Bet, bet365 outside this ranking — gives the deepest volleyball programme, the tightest prices on match winner and the most reliable live betting product. The path through the smaller and specialist brands — BetGoodwin, Bet600, QuinnBet, Kwiff — gives a tighter welcome offer on a smaller sports programme, with volleyball inside that. The path through the brands with a distinctive structural feature — Spreadex’s FCA-regulated spread book on the same login, the Tote’s pool product — gives a different mechanism rather than a different set of prices. Three paths, all licensed, all under the same consumer-protection frame.

A clean place to start is to pick the licence entry the customer wants to verify, then the welcome offer shape that suits their staking, then the brand’s volleyball programme depth. The choices below that line are about price and product, and the customer’s own model of the matches. Above it, the licence and the consumer-protection frame are settled.

Frequently asked questions

How does a customer bet on volleyball?

Pick a licensed Great Britain bookmaker, open an account and verify identity (name, address, date of birth — the bookmaker has to complete this before the first deposit or bet), pick a match, choose a market (match winner, set score, total sets, set handicap, in-play if available), set a stake, and place the bet. The free bet or bonus that comes with a welcome offer goes on top, with its own terms.

Can volleyball be bet on?

Yes. Volleyball sits on the programme of every mainstream Great Britain-licensed bookmaker, with match winner and totals markets available on most top-tier fixtures and a smaller set of products on lower-tier ones. There is no statutory list of permitted sports in Great Britain; the licence category does not pre-restrict what an operator may offer under it.

How can I verify a bookmaker’s Gambling Commission licence?

Search the Gambling Commission’s public register by business name, trading name, domain or Commission account number. The entry shows the licence number, the licence categories (e.g. remote general betting standard for real events), the licence holder’s legal name and the trading names it covers. The register is the whole test; a marketing claim is not.

What is the bookmaker’s margin on a volleyball match?

The margin (overround) is the slice of every pound staked that the bookmaker expects to keep on a market in the long run. The payout share of a market is 1 divided by the sum of 1 divided by each decimal outcome; the margin is 1 minus that share. On an illustrative 1.90 / 1.90 volleyball match the payout share is about 95% and the margin about 5%, typically stated as a band of 4.5–5.5% once rounding is allowed.

How is the return on a bet worked out from the stake and the odds?

In decimal odds a winning bet returns stake × odds; the net profit (above the stake) is stake × (odds − 1). For a combination bet (e.g. an acca) the odds of each leg multiply into one combined price before the stake is applied. In fractional odds the return is stake × (numerator ÷ denominator) plus the stake itself; the decimal form of a/b is a ÷ b + 1.
