Tennis, darts & cue sports
A boosted price on a player is a promotion laid over a market, and this section looks at how markets in individual sports are built.
Snooker, tennis, golf and darts lead, with padel, badminton, table tennis, chess and curling after them. Golf stands out for each-way betting, whose places and fraction are read from the market because they depend on the event and the bookmaker.
Britain has no statutory list of permitted markets. Licences cover categories, and each operator chooses what to list, which is why one match can carry different lines on different sites.
