US sports
Games in the United States are played through the New Zealand night, so betting on them keeps an odd schedule. This section covers how they reach a punter used to the racing day.
Baseball, basketball and hockey are covered through MLB, the NBA and the NHL, with the NFL and the Super Bowl as the biggest single event. Spreads and totals are shown in decimal odds in New Zealand.
An American game is treated like a local one, since the ban under section 74AAA reaches events held overseas. Only TAB NZ may lawfully take these bets; no offshore operator holds a licence here.
