How to Understand Rugby Betting Odds?

While your local bookies may have a few deals on every now and then, Parimatch is the place to come for competitive betting odds every day of the week.

But when it comes to looking at the odds in rugby, where should you be placing your cash? If you want to make a real profit, you need to play the odds carefully to balance the likelihood of winning with a good payout. To do this, you need to understand how rugby betting odds work and how they show you the implied probability of a bet paying off.

Firstly, we use decimal odds as this is the easiest system to work out both how much you’ll get paid out if you win, as well as how likely you are to win. This is because odds reflect the bookmakers guess on how likely the team is to win.

Take this match between Cronulla Sharks and Melbourne Storm:

Melbourne Storm is the favourite to win as their odds are lower than Cronulla Sharks’.

However, when we consider the implied probability, Cronulla Sharks still have a good chance of victory if they play well.

To work this out, you divide 100 by the decimal odds. So, Melbourne Storm’s odds are 1.54. Divide 100 by 1.54 and you can see that the chances to win for Melbourne Storm is about 65%.

While this is a fair chance of winning when we look at Cronulla Sharks, we see that the odds of 2.50 give the underdog team a 40% chance of winning. Bear in mind that implied probability will always add to more than 100% as this is the bookie’s over-round (profit). This aside, it still clearly shows that Cronulla Sharks have a relatively strong chance of winning if something unexpected happened to Melbourne Storm (an injury or a player being sent off), or if Cronulla Sharks played especially well. Since Cronulla Sharks are at home, they also have the home advantage.

Now, the 2.50 odds also refer to the potential winnings. To work out how much you could win, you would multiply 2.50 by your stake and then minus the original stake. For example, imagine the stake was 10,000 TZS. If you won the bet, you would get paid out 25,000 TZS, with a profit of 15,000 TZS.

When it comes to rugby matches, the best types of odds combine good payouts with rather high success probability, such as in this case. You may want to look for matches where the odds between the favourite and underdog are not too dissimilar, but still profitable to the underdog. This strategy works better when the underdog is playing at home. If the odds are too similar, you won’t make much profit at all.

What Types of Rugby Bets are Available on Parimatch?

As the top online betting app in all of Tanzania, Parimatch offers users the broadest selection of betting options for those who would like to bet on a rugby game. Here are a few of the most popular types of bets offered on Parimatch.

1x2

1X2 bets enable punters to place a wager on whether one team or another will win or whether there will be a draw. A draw option here makes it slightly harder to guess the outcome using just the odds.

Odds/Evens

Looking for a simple, fun bet? Odds/evens betting tends to have quite low odds as it is a straightforward bet of chance. All you do is place a wager on whether the total final points of both teams will be an odd or even number.

Handicap Bets

A little more complex, handicap bets help to level the playing field. Add a handicap to one or other side to give a little advantage to the opponent. Place a bet on who will win with a handicap given one way or the other.

Total Bets

Think you can guess how many points will be scored in the whole game? Don’t worry, you don’t have to be that precise. Totals betting enables users to guess whether the total number of points will be over or under the total given by the Parimatch bookmaker.

First Half Betting

If you’re not one to wait, Parimatch offers betting options to place wagers on the first half of rugby matches. On the Parimatch sports betting platform, you can enjoy first half betting options such as first-half handicap bets, first-half odd/even wagers, and 1X2s.
