Rugby, league & cricket

Rugby, league and cricket are where a New Zealand tipster is judged by local readers, since the All Blacks and the Black Caps are followed far more closely than any foreign club.

Union and the NRL lead, with AFL beside them, and cricket occupies the summer. Super Rugby Pacific and the Warriors add to the list. A lopsided fixture is generally priced by a line, which means a handicap.

The rule on offering betting to people in New Zealand makes no exception for matches played elsewhere. For bets on NZ events taken from other countries, a foreign operator requires the permission of the sport’s national organisation.
