RUGBY UNION SPREAD BETTING

Rugby Union spread betting is a way of betting on a 'spread' or prediction of outcomes to happen in a fight.

Step 1: Choose a spread market on a match. E.g. the 'spread' on Total Points may be 43-46.
Step 2: Decide if you think the final outcome will be higher or lower than the spread.
Step 3: If higher (e.g. more than 46 points) you would buy. If lower (fewer than 43 points) you would sell.
Step 4: Your profit or loss depends on the difference between your buy or sell level and the final outcome, multiplied by your stake.

HOW TO PLACE A RUGBY UNION SPREAD BET

To place a Rugby Union spread bet, look at the Spreadex prediction or spread on the market in question.

If you think the outcome will be higher than our price, then you would buy on the spread.

If you think the outcome will be lower than our price, then you would sell on the spread.

The more right you are the more you can win, but the opposite is the case if you get it wrong, as you may lose more than your initial stake.

Alternatively see an example of a rugby spread bet here.

RUGBY UNION SPREAD BETTING ‘BUY’ EXAMPLE

It’s the opening match of the Six Nations, and you think it’s going to be a barn burner, so take a look at Spreadex’s Total Points spread betting market.

Spreadex is offering a Total Points spread of 40-43, so you buy £2 at 43. The game finishes with a scoreline of 45-32, i.e. a Total Points make-up of 77. That leaves you with a profit of £68 ((77 – 43) x £2).

Even if the scoreline was slightly lower, say 27-23, you could still make a profit of £14 ((50 – 43) x £2).

However, if the game were far stingier than you expected, and finished 14-10, you would incur a loss of £38 ((24 – 43) x £2).

RUGBY UNION SPREAD BETTING ‘SELL’ EXAMPLE

You think the Rugby World Cup final is going to be a tense affair, so take a look at Spreadex’s Total Points spread betting market.

Spreadex is offering a Total Points spread of 43-46, so you sell £2 at 43. Your hunch proves to be correct, with the final finishing 13-6. That scoreline leaves you with a profit of £48 ((43 – 19) x £2).

Even if the final was marginally higher scoring, finishing up at 23-12, you would still make a profit of £16 ((43 – 35) x £2).

On the other hand, if it was a blockbuster World Cup final for the ages, finishing at 42-27, you would end up with a loss of £52 ((43 – 69) x £2).

At Spreadex we offer a wide selection of in-play rugby union spread betting markets on live games, with prices constantly updated as the action unfolds on the pitch.

In-play rugby union bets allow you to open or close bets at any point after kick-off up until the final whistle meaning you can close out of your bets early either to take profits or to cut losses.

If you disagree with a prediction made by our trader on a certain market at any time, then that signals your chance to place an in-play bet and back your judgement!

Rugby union supremacy bets

One of the most popular markets for those interested in rugby union spread betting is our Supremacy market.

Our spread here is based upon our predicted winning margin, in points, by which one team will beat another.

For example, Spreadex may quote Team A over Team B with a Supremacy price of 6-9.

If Team A beats Team B 37-10, then the Supremacy price will make-up at 27 (37-10). But if Team B won 19-15, then the market would make-up at -4 (15-19).
