Football

Football is the yardstick for every other sport’s markets, so even a hockey-led site keeps its vocabulary close at hand.

Match odds, tipsters, predictions, futsal and soccer wording are covered. Odds run as fractions (11/4, evens) and as decimals on exchanges and many apps.

Under the whistle-to-whistle code, a television ban on betting adverts starts five minutes ahead of kick-off and ends five minutes after the final whistle, with 9pm as the limit; it is an industry agreement and not law. Premier League clubs also agreed to take gambling sponsorship off the front of matchday shirts from 2026/27, a voluntary step.
