• Football matches (particularly on Association and American football)
• Golf
• Tennis
• Cricket
• Baseball
• Basketball

In addition many bookmakers offer fixed odds on a number of non-sports related outcomes, for example the direction and extent of movement of various financial indices, whether snow will fall on Christmas Day in a given area, the winner of television competitions such as Big Brother, and so forth. Interactive prediction markets also offer trading on these outcomes, with “shares” of results trading on an open market.
