Football
Most football followed in New Zealand is played on the other side of the world, and that distance defines the betting. This section covers the competitions watched from afar.
Searches begin with the World Cup, MLS, the Champions League and the Premier League; FIFA games and football tips are kept as separate topics. Decimal odds such as 2.10 are the form used.
A game in London and a game in Auckland stand under one rule, since the venue does not alter the prohibition on offering bets to New Zealanders. The lawful provider is TAB NZ; being ranked somewhere confers no licence.
