Common Bet Types in Rugby Union Betting

Rugby union betting has a range of popular bet types to look at, allowing you to take a punt on multiple possible outcomes and aspects of the same game. Below are some of the most common bet types in Rugby Union Betting:

Match Winner

The most straightforward bet when it comes to rugby union betting, all you need to do is predict which team will win the match outright. Simple.

Handicap Betting

Rugby union handicap betting is a popular way to balance the odds between a favourite and an underdog by giving the underdog a points advantage. The underdog will essentially start with a set point advantage which the favorite will need to overcome.

Total Points (Over/Under)

With this bet, you bet on the total number of points scored in a match by both teams combined. You choose a point line and then bet on weather the total points will be more or less than that number.

First Try Scorer

This is a bet on which player will score the first try in the match. It’s a higher-risk bet, but the odds are usually favourable.

Winning Margin

This bet just involves predicting the margin by which a team will win the game. The margin is divided into ranges, such as 1-5 points, 6-10 points and so on. If the winning margin is within that range, congratulations you've won.

Double Result (Half-Time/Full-Time)

This bet involves predicting the result at both half-time and full-time. You'll need to be correct on both outcomes to win the bet.

Outright/Futures Betting

Outright or futures betting is a longer-term bet on events such as who will win a league or tournament or competition one events such as top scorer.

Rugby Union Handicap Betting

Handicap betting is a popular market in rugby union because of the often uneven nature of matchups; one side is often a heavy favorite. In rugby union handicap betting markets, one team is given a point deficit (negative handicap) and the other a point advantage (positive handicap) to level the playing field. You can then bet on whether the favourite team will overcome there handicap or if the underdog will perform better than expected

For example: In a match between Wales and Italy, Wales may be given a -10 handicap. This means that for a bet on Wales to win, they need to beat Italy by more than 10 points. Alternatively, if you bet on Italy with a +10 handicap, they can either win the game, or lose the game by fewer than 10 points for your bet to win.
