CRICKET - 2023 CRICKET WORLD CUP BETTING MARKETS

For cricket betting punters, the 2023 World Cup continues this week and England find themselves at a critical juncture knowing that defeat is not an option against Sri Lanka if they want to retain any realistic hopes of progression.

The round-robin format gives England five more fixtures to accumulate points and move up the table, with victories in the lot the way that would give them the best chance of reaching the knockout stage.

Five wins would take England to 12 points, which may still not be enough dependent on other teams perform over the next couple of weeks, although there is still the slim possibility of progression even with another defeat.

Net run rate could determine the final qualification spots, which is calculated by using the average runs per over scored by a team and then subtracting the average runs per over scored against them.

Currently the pre-match odds have England favoured with a Run Supremacy spread of 30 - 40 over Sri Lanka. Can they secure a dominant win and boost their net run rate in the process?

RUGBY UNION - 2023 RUGBY WORLD CUP MARKETS

Rugby spread betting punters are surely eagerly awaiting the weekend as the 2023 World Cup draws to a conclusion in France.

Saturday sees a blockbuster final at the Stade de France in Paris between defending champions South Africa and the imperious New Zealand All Blacks, while England will look to put the disappointment of their close semi-final defeat behind them by grabbing third-place in the 'Bronze' match against Argentina on Friday.

In what promises to be an immense occasion, history will be played for as both New Zealand and South Africa are bidding to become the first nation to win the Rugby World Cup for a fourth time. It will also be the second final between the sides - after South Africa won on home soil in Johannesburg in 1995.

The betting odds show that the All Blacks will go into the final as slight favourites, with an outright price of 4/5 and South Africa slightly longer at 5/4. There is a wide range of betting options for the match with a multitude of spread markets as well as our Bet Builder feature on the fixed odds.

In England's match, meanwhile, they are priced up with a Point Supremacy of 8 - 11. Their group meeting earlier in the tournament ended with a 27-10 victory for England, meaning a repeat result would see buying punters win 6x their initial stake. However, if England lost by 17 points then the market would settle at -17, meaning buyers at 11 would lose 28x their stake.
