Rugby Union Odds
Rugby union odds are simple to understand and work out. When you see rugby odds displayed on our sports betting platform, they will be listed as fractional odds – the most common odds format in the UK and Ireland.
Let’s say you backed Ireland to win the Six Nations or South Africa to win the Rugby World Cup at 5/1 with a £10 stake. A successful bet would pay out £50, plus your original £10 stake, for a total of £60.
Odds reflect a team’s implied probability of winning and can fluctuate based on factors like team news (including injuries and suspensions), form, and weather conditions. At BoyleSports, you’ll continually find competitive odds across all the major rugby union matches, competitions and tournaments.

Popular Rugby Betting Markets
Some of the top rugby union betting markets at BoyleSports include:
1. Match Winner (80 Minutes): This is a simple bet on the winner of a rugby union match after 80 minutes.
2. Handicap Betting: Betting on a team to win by a certain margin (overcome a minus handicap) or to lose by less than that margin (win with a plus handicap). The favourites will start with a handicap – say for example -14.5 points. They would need to win by 15 or more points to be declared the winner.
3. Total Points (Over/Under): Betting on whether the total combined points from both teams will be over or under a specified number.
4. First Try Scorer: Wagering on a player to score the first try in a match.
5. Highest Scoring Half: Betting on whether the second half will feature more points than the first, or vice versa.
6. Winning Margin: Placing a stake on how many points the winning team will triumph by.
7. Live In-Play Betting: Betting live as the players are on the pitch, with popular markets including next try scorer and match winner.
