Rugby, league & cricket
When the tracks go quiet, a racing punter’s eye usually turns to the winter football codes and the summer game. This section covers what that looks like.
Cricket and the Black Caps carry the summer, while the All Blacks, Super Rugby Pacific and the Warriors lead the winter, with AFL and the NRL alongside. A mismatch is typically priced through line betting or a handicap, not a bare winner.
A match played abroad is still caught by the prohibition, which covers events anywhere in the world. For an offshore provider to accept bets on NZ events from other countries, the sport’s national organisation has to agree.
