Features and secrets of online rugby betting

 Beginners need to understand the varieties of rugby and understand the key rules so that it would be interesting to watch the matches and conduct the necessary analytics. In the 20s of the XIX century, rugby-15 appeared on the "Foggy Albion" - this is how the sport is called now. The founder is considered to be a student of a Rugby school - a town in the central part of England. Why exactly 15? Initially, the sport was simply called "rugby", but then branches appeared. The "serial number" of the oldest variety was assigned for the number of players on the field – 15 people are running behind an oval projectile. Rugby 7 is a variant modernized by the Scots, where 7 players are already on the field. The Scottish Highlanders love freedom very much - historically it happened that way, so let the Northerners roam on the field. Rugby - the merit of the British miners, who reduced the number of participants to 13 people and made the fights more spectacular. This variety is also called rugby-13. If we talk about the rules, then in rugby there is a whole scattering of effective actions for which you can get points, and the value of each action varies. The key task of the teams is to score more points than the opponent. To the delight of the cappers, it's not just men who play rugby. Women's rugby is also there, but the popularity is noticeably lower, and professional betting players often use it, preferring to get an advantage over the bookmaker. Many people bet on rugby, especially if we talk about countries where this sport is among the top most popular. This is England and Australia, first of all. But Her Majesty's subjects don't know much about statistics – they bet more for entertainment, so that it would be more interesting to watch the game under a pint of foam. On the one hand, rugby is significantly different from football, but it is a team sport in which players can earn a certain number of points for certain actions. Consequently, the bets are mostly standard - totals, handicaps, match outcomes, etc. Here capper surprises are not expected.

BETTING ON THE OUTCOME

Traditionally, bookmakers offer to bet on the victory of one of the teams or predict a draw. "World" in rugby are rare, with about the same probability as in basketball, so the odds for a draw result can vary between 15.0 - 30.0.

BETS ON HANDICAP / HANDICAP

Handicap with a plus value is placed on the outsider of the confrontation, and with a negative one – on the favorite of the game. Experts recommend betting on the favorite, since the points spread can be significant. For example, in the Australian league, the favorites often win with a difference of 6 or more points, and the handicap reaches 30-40 points. Bookmakers usually offer options with a plus and minus from 5.5 to 11.5.

BETS ON TOTAL

The total points scored depends on many factors. If we take the same Australian league, a total of 70 was broken in one confrontation, and in the other the winner earned only 12 points, defeating the opponent dry. The offices offer both quantitative totals and options with an even or odd total number of points.

BETS ON THE RESULT OF THE MATCH

 Bets on the result of the match can be interpreted in different ways. Most cappers understand by this the victory of one of the opponents or a draw, but a number of players determine the exact score by the result of the game.

DOUBLE CHANCE BETS

Traditionally, double chances are capper's insurance, but in relation to rugby, double chances don't really affect anything. If you take football, then adding a possible draw to your forecast "eats up" quotes. In rugby, draw results are rare, so the odds don't suffer much. For example, capper wants to bet on the Pro 14 tournament, chooses the victory of Glasgow Warriors with a coefficient of 3.15. If you include a double chance, then 1X will be calculated with quotes of 2.70. Bookmakers do not offer an option with a victory of the first or second team (12) in most cases.

LIVE BETS

Rugby is often played in real time, because the balance of power on the field can change dramatically, and a capper who understands the specifics of the sport can predict the further development of events. Turning points happen often. For example, in the match "Bristol" - "Exeter", the hosts failed the first half 3:15, but then they gathered and in the second half of the meeting beat the opponent 19:10. You can decide not only on the match as a whole, but also on specific halves.

BETS ON THE EXACT ACCOUNT

Guessing the exact score in rugby is probably the most difficult task. Duels end with different numbers on the scoreboard. A lot of effective actions, extra points, and other factors lead to the fact that such indicators as 56:16, 16:38, 12:0. Of course, Nostradamus capper is not offered to become, it is almost impossible to guess the exact score in rugby. But it is possible to determine in which ranges the game will end. For example, that the opponents will not score more than 30 points or, one team will score from 30 to 50, and the second - up to 30.
