Rugby betting odds

Rugby

Rugby league and rugby union started in 1845 in England. It was one of the many versions of a football played in English public schools back in the 19th century.

While Rugby League turned professional in 1895, Rugby Union waited for one hundred years until 1995. Current respective governing bodies are Rugby League International Federation and World Rugby (for rugby union). What is interesting, both Canadian and American football have evolved from rugby at the start of the 20th century.

Rugby betting

Rugby is a high-scoring game so it is almost impossible to see a draw. The first popular market for Rugby betting are handicap bets or spread betting. In this bet, one of the teams will get a hypothetical advantage or disadvantage. The points will be given to them or taken away. This is a great bet when one team is a clear favourite.

Over/under bets have determined number and category. You choose will the number be greater or lower than the fixed number by a bookmaker. These bets are very useful in cases where it is hard to guess the correct result.

Besides individual matches, there are also outright bets on tournaments and leagues. With outright bets, you can bet on a winner of a tournament. Keep in mind that when you bet on the winner of the league, odds can go up and down throughout the season.

Bets on individual players are getting more common and the biggest market is the first try scorer. Here, you wager on the player which will in your opinion, score the first try of a match. The favourites usually back but forwards know how to do the trick as well.

Similar to this is the bet on a player who will kick the most points. You can also bet in the disciplinary markets which means wagering on the first yellow card of the game and similar. Red cards are pretty rare in Rugby, even though it is a very physical sport.

Rugby odds

Odds will tell you two things; how much can you win and how likely is for a player or a team to win. When the odds are bigger, it is less likely for the player or a team to win. However, the bigger the odds, the bigger the prize. When the odds are smaller, it is more likely that player or a team will win but your winning amount won’t be hefty. If you ever get a chance to take a big-odds bet, don’t miss it! It could get you a generous winning amount. However, which type of bets you prefer is up to you.

Odds Comparison
