Are you an amateur at sports betting and rugby? Are you looking to enter the world of betting on rugby but don’t have enough knowledge about how bookmakers work? Wincomparator will tell you all you need to know about online bookmakers’ rugby betting odds.
Let’s start with what are the rugby odds. Like the odds for any sport’s proposed, Rugby Union betting odds are numbers that are directly related to the various bets made by bookmakers. If you wish to bet on Saracens’ victory against Munster in Champions Cup, then you should place your money on the odds associated to the bet “Saracens To Win” instead of on the team. This is the first thing to remember.
Important to remember is the direct correlation between the value and probability of winning the bet. This means that the odds of a match occurring in rugby will be lower. Bookmakers will offer higher odds if the bet is unlikely to be validated. This is evident in the Six Nations match between England and Italy. England is widely considered favourites for this meeting.
The odds for the rugby bet “England to win” will be very low in such an obvious clash (e.g. 6/5, whereas the odds for the bet “Italy To Win” will be higher (e.g. 10/1. The odds of the English winning the match are higher than those of the Italians. These rugby odds will determine your potential winnings.
Rugby betting
Match betting, like in all sports, is a popular form of betting on rugby. Match betting is where you place a bet that one team will win. Due to rugby being a high-scoring sport, it is rare that you will see a draw. Match betting markets may not offer the draw while others will quote a draw at 40/1.
Spread betting or handicap betting is an important aspect of rugby betting. Handicap betting is where one team is given a hypothetical advantage, or disadvantage. Points can be given to them, or taken away. This market is great for betting on the team that is the most likely to win. Let’s take an example: New Zealand is playing Tonga in a World Cup match. New Zealand is a 13.5-point favorite in the match. Tonga is a 13.5-point favorite. This means they have an additional 13.5 points. You win your bet if Tonga wins the game, or loses it with less 13 points. You lose your bet if New Zealand wins the game by more than 14 points.
Over/under betting gives you a number as well as a category and you can bet on whether or not this number will be exceeded. Let’s assume that 41.5 is the maximum number of points allowed in a match. If there are 42 or more points, you win. You lose if there are 41 points or less
Season and tournament bets
Outright bets can also be placed on tournaments or leagues, in addition to individual matches. You can bet on the winner of a tournament, or the winner of an outright. This is your chance to place a bet on who will win the Rugby World Cup, Six Nations Championship or other major sporting events. If you don’t have a clear favorite in the competition, outrights might be the best bet. You can support the tournament winner and follow them throughout their games by betting on them.
It is also important to remember that odds of winning a league can change throughout the season. It may be wise to place a bet early in the campaign, depending on how the team does over the course of the season.
