Rugby, cricket & Gaelic

Promotions follow the sporting calendar, and rugby, cricket and Gaelic games are part of it, so their market vocabulary needs knowing before an offer on them can be judged.

Cricket brings match and innings markets, while union and league add winning-margin and handicap lines; hurling, netball and Gaelic football lie beyond.

The Gambling Act 2005 covers England, Scotland and Wales. Northern Ireland is outside it, so a Great Britain licence and the protections attached to it do not reach betting there, a point of particular weight for Gaelic games.
