Rugby Spread Betting: 29-May-08
Two of the biggest rivals in English rugby meet at Twickenham on Saturday for the Guinness Premiership Championship Final. Sporting Index can’t split them at present so buyers of either side’s supremacy at 1 point will be hoping for any kind of victory.
That means you can bet on:
- Wasps to win by more than one point
- Leicester to win by more than one point
The last time these two sides met in the Final (2005) Wasps registered their third consecutive Zurich trophy with a 39-14 win. However, the Tigers have been in all of the last three finals, losing the first two against Wasps and Sale Sharks, but trouncing Gloucester 44-16 last year.
These two sides have met three times this season, with Leicester holding the slight edge of two wins to one. However, all three games have been very tight and the winning margin has been no bigger than 10 in all three games. As always with these big games, tactics are often based around the weather conditions and buyers of total points at 46 will be pleased to hear that the Tigers last four Premiership games have averaged 52.25 points. Wasps have averaged 50.25. This is further boosted by the last three finals averaging a total of 59.3 points. However, sellers at 43 will be hoping to see a final similar to 2004 when Wasps beat Bath 10-6. In fact, the average points total for the three finals prior to 2005 was 36.3.
Where to Spread Bet on Rugby?
Rugby Spread Betting: 15-Oct-07
Everyone's discussed England's poor form and their miraculous turnaround since the South Africa pool stage game...so there’s not much left for us to say. However you might like a final look at the prices (or at least the prices how they are at the moment).
Sporting Index have put the supremacy spread at South Africa to beat England by 7 to 10 points, ie you can bet on:
- South Africa to beat England by more than 10 points, or
- South Africa to beat England by less than 7 points, or a draw or an England win
How much you win, depends upon how right or wrong you are.
Also, despite losing to Argentina in the opening match Sporting Index make France favourites to take third place.
Rugby World Cup Winner Index
In this market points are awarded to the teams who end the event in the top positions.
For the Rugby World Cup, Sporting Index award 100 points to the Winner, 80pts for the Runner-up, 60pts for Third place, 50pts for Forth place, 25pts to any team that loses in the Quarter Final.

Rugby Spread Betting: 17-Sep-07
Argentina fourth favourites? Looking at a quick update of the Sporting Index Rugby World Cup markets it looks that way. Not surprisingly, the 3 Tri-Nations countries are at the top of the table and the South American team are sitting behind them in the sports spread betting markets.
The biggest losers over the first 2 weekends were France who look like they could be playing New Zealand in the quarters finals (if they make it out of their Pool). When the World Cup started they were priced at 57-60. The home team are now priced at 36-39 points.
Anyone backing South Africa before the tournament when the spread was 56-59 could close out for a handy 17 point profit. Sporting Index currently have the Boks at 76 to 79.

Risk Warning - Sports spread betting involves a high level of risk and you can lose more than your original stake. It is not suitable for everyone so please ensure you understand the risks involved and only bet with money you can afford to lose.

Rugby World Cup Tournament - Championship Index
In this market points are awarded to the teams who end the event in the top positions.
For the Rugby World Cup, Sporting Index award 100 points to the Winner, 80pts for the Runner-up, 60pts for Third place, 50pts for Forth place, 25pts to any team that loses in the Quarter Final, 10pts to any team that finishes 3rd in Group stage, 5pts for finishing 4th in the Group Stage and 0pts for Last place.
Therefore looking at Thursday’s prices England were 39 to 42pts. This reflects the bookies opinion that they think England are likely to finish forth or lose in the Quarters.
If you believed England would do better than losing in the quarters, you might bet high at 42 points for £5 per point.
Had the England Rugby Team ended up being the Runner-up you would have won 38 times your stake.
(80 - 42) x your stake = 38 points x £5 per point = £190
Even if they came forth you still would have made a profit. A team finishing forth is awarded 50pts and if you bought at 42pts you would win 8 times your stake.
(50 - 42) x your stake = 8 points x £5 per point = £40
Of course England could get knocked out in the quarters in which case you would lose.
(25 - 42) x your stake = -17 points x £5 per point = -£85

Rugby Time of First Try - Sports Spread Betting
A popular rugby bet is the time that the first try will be scored. You don’t have to pick the exact minute. The Bookie offers a ‘spread’ of times, if you think there will be an early try then you would probably bet low (Sell), if you think there won’t be a try for a long time then you would Buy the Time of the First Try. Eg
For a World Cup game between England and Samoa, sports spread betting bookmakers might predict the first match try (by either side) would be scored after 18 to 21 minutes.
If you thought it was going to be a tight game dominated by big defences you might bet high at 21 minutes for let’s say £5 per minute.
If you were right and England only managed to break through the Samoan defence in the 27th minute then you would have won 6 times your stake:
(27 - 21) x your stake = 6 minutes x £5 per minutes = £30
However if you had sold the market at 18 minutes for the same stake, you would have lost 9 times your stake:
(18 - 27) x your stake = -9 minutes x £5 per minutes = -£45
If there are no tries in a game then the result (make up) is 80 minutes.
Risk Warning - Sports spread betting involves a high level of risk and you can lose more than your original stake. It is not suitable for everyone so please ensure you understand the risks involved and only bet with money you can afford to lose.

Rugby Bet - Shirt Numbers - Sports Spread Betting
Another popular market. The bookies try to predict the aggregate number of the try scorers’ shirt numbers in a game. Eg if numbers 9, 11 and 14 all score a try, the total would be 34.
Example
A match between England and France might look like it could be a relatively attacking game with plenty of tries. Therefore there might be a Total Shirt Numbers spread of 64 – 68 points.
If you expected an open game you would bet high at 68 for the stake of your choice, eg £5 per point.
If England had beaten France 53 - 14 with seven tries scored, the shirt numbers might have added up to 75.
As a result you would have made 7 times your stake.
(75 - 68) x your stake = 7 x £5 = £35
If you had Sold the market at 64 points for £4 per point, you would have lost 11 times your stake:
(64 – 75) x your stake = -11 x £4 = -£44
