Rugby Handicap Betting Explained
Rugby handicap betting allows you to bet on a team after a points advantage or disadvantage has been applied.
A favourite may be given a negative handicap, while the underdog receives a positive handicap. The final score is adjusted using the handicap to determine the outcome of the market.
For example:
- Team A: -7.5
- Team B: +7.5
Team A must win by more than 7.5 points for the handicap selection to win. Team B can lose by fewer than 7.5 points and still cover the handicap.
The Rugby Handicap & Totals Refund promotion is designed to cover qualifying bets that lose by just half a point. Always check the market details and the applicable promotion terms before placing your bet.
Rugby Total Points Betting
Total Points betting focuses on the combined number of points scored in a match or a specified period of play.
You can select whether the total points scored will be over or under the line offered by WSB.
The promotion includes qualifying:
- Full-match Total Points markets
- Half-time Total Points markets
As with handicap bets, only qualifying pre-match straight bets using real money are eligible.
