The Rugby Union is very popular internationally and has a code of its own. Betting is done hugely on this game and there are many options to choose from for betting like sports events held between national teams and also there are other local competitions held here.

Betting in Rugby Union

The betting method is similar to betting in soccer. For example a bettor can place a bet on prop, winning margins or 3 way game bets. In the 3 way bet the bettor has the option of betting on the team or he can choose to draw the bet. The 3 way game betting is not a good option as drawing a bet causes the punters to lose their bets. Thus a lot of risk is involved in this kind of bets.

The winning margin bet is placed when there is a possibility of a team winning for a set margin. This margin is pre set before the match and if the team wins within that margin then the bettor wins. Suppose the bettor placed a bet for a set margin of 10-14 points and the team won by 9 or 15 points then the bettor will lose in that case. Thus the winning margins must be chosen wisely.

The prop bets are the kind where the bettor can place a bet on a team that he thinks will win the game or he can also place a bet on a particular player that he thinks will score first. Deciding which player will score first or which team is going to win first depends on the bettor entirely. You can also try to study the available sports books for knowing more about the previous performance of a player or a team.
