Tips & strategy
Strategy articles and offers go hand in hand, and both are best approached as sums to be checked. This section gives tips the status of opinions, never of promises.
Calculators, systems and guides come first, with multi bets, odds, score betting and predictions after them. Decimal odds, as in 2.10, are the New Zealand convention. No tip here is a sure bet, and no match is named.
Using offers to lock in a profit across bookmakers (arbitrage) needs several lawful bookmakers, and New Zealand has one, TAB NZ. Spread betting has no lawful form here. Virtual sports, wagers on a computer-simulated sporting event, are placed under the online casino regime.
