Rugby Betting

How the Betting Works

It doesn’t matter what rugby league you’re betting on, and it could be a country league or a national league game. The favourite team is has a minus (-) number, and the underdog team has a (+) number. Betting on the underdog team in the Moneyline bet will always pay out the highest, as it is a simple win or lose bet. If the team you bet on wins, you win the payout, and if the team you bet on loses, you lose the bet. The numbers next to each team represent how much you can expect to win on a $100 bet, but you can just type in any amount to see what the payout will be by clicking on the bet and typing in the number. Thanks to the wonderful world of online casinos, no math is required.

The Moneyline bet is a simple win or lose bet, but the Points Spread bet is where the odds get a little more interesting, and the payout for betting on the favourite team gets a little bit more exciting. This is because with the points spread, the winning team has to win by a certain number of points in order for there to be a payout, and the underdog team doesn’t have to win in order for you to win. Instead, the underdog team just has to lose by fewer points than the points spread (or win, of course), and the favourite team has to win by more points than the spread.

The last traditional bet is the over/under total points bet. The bookmaker will guess how many points both teams will score in total. You can bet that more points (over) will be scored, or that fewer points (under) will be scored, and while they may well have different payouts, they will be fairly comparable.

Futures Betting

Futures betting is a way to bet on larger tournaments or the results of championships well into the future, and it exists in every sport. In rugby, you can bet at both the league and national level for futures, and it can be a few days into the future or several months. You can bet on the championship when the season first starts, and because betting correctly on a futures bet is difficult, as anything can happen throughout the season, the payouts are always great. For example, even if a team is a far and wide favourite and it’s close to the finals, you could still see a +200 payout. That’s a $200 win on a $100 bet.

Specialty bets

In all sports, you can also bet on specialty bets, though it is a bit more rare in rugby, as it’s not set up with specialty bets being all that accessible. However, at some sportsbooks, you will see the opportunity to bet on specific scores depending on where you are in the game, how well a player will do, and so on. These specialty bets can add a fun amount of depth to any sport, but they’re much more in-depth in others, like basketball, football, baseball, and so on, more so than rugby.
