US sports
North American leagues follow a clock opposite to the racing card, with games landing in the small hours here. This section covers how they reach a New Zealand punter.
Baseball and MLB, hockey and the NHL, the NBA and basketball, then the NFL and the Super Bowl all fall inside it. Spreads and totals, the typical American markets, are priced in decimals here.
An event staged overseas is as much within the New Zealand prohibition on offering bets as a local one, so the American calendar needs no special exception. TAB NZ is the lawful provider, and no offshore operator is licensed here.
