Rugby spread betting

Did you know you can also place rugby spread bets as well as fixed odds bets on your Spreadex account?

Spread betting works by playing on a 'spread' or prediction on the number of things to happen in a match.

Step 1: Choose a market. E.g. the 'spread' on Total Points scored may be 37 - 40.
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 40 points) you would buy. If lower (fewer than 37) 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.

Remember that unlike fixed odds betting, you can lose more than your initial stake with spread betting should the bet go against you.

HOW TO PLACE A RUGBY SPREAD BET

To place a 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.

Rad on for detailed descriptions of the rugby betting markets offered by Spreadex, including our fixed odds rugby betting prices.

In-play rugby betting

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

In-play rugby 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’ve never placed rugby bets in-play before, simply open up the Spreadex website or visit our Mobile Betting Platform when you are watching a live rugby match and watch as our prices change throughout the game.

If you disagree with a prediction made by our trader on a certain market at any time,

Rugby supremacy bets

One of the most popular markets for those interested in rugby 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).

Try-related rugby bets

First Match/Team Try: Bet on either the time, in minutes, of the first try to be scored in a match or the time of a named team's first try.

Player Try Minutes: The combined total, in minutes, of the times of the tries scored by a named player in a particular match.

Team Multi-Points: A team’s first half points multiplied by their second half points. If Team A scores 7 points in the first half and 16 points in the second half, then their Team Multi-Points would make-up at 112 (7x16 = 112).
