When it comes to online sports betting, there are many sports that the people of Britain like to bet on, with the likes of horse racing and football being two of the most popular. Betting on rugby union and rugby league is also extremely popular, which is why we have decided to write this useful page for you that will tell you everything that you need to know about rugby betting on either code.

Rugby Union Betting

There are plenty of Rugby Union events hosted all year round, and you can find out more about them in the table below. We publish odds across all of these top events, and underneath the table you’ll find out more information about each one.

Men’s 6 Nations Betting

The Men’s Six Nations is one of the biggest and most popular rugby tournaments in the world. It takes place every year in February and March and sees England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, France and Italy compete for the Championship Trophy.

The Six Nations is one of the most watched and bet on rugby competitions in the world. As a result, sportsbooks tend to offer a huge and broad selection of betting markets. These include both outright and moneylines, alongside totals and extensive handicaps.

England have won the most Six Nations titles outright, having prevailed on 29 occasions. They’ve also claimed 10 shared wins. Wales have won outright 28 times and shared the trophy on 11 occasions. France is the third most successful nation with 27 titles in total, eight of which have been shared.

Women’s Six Nations Betting

Female rugby is on the rise, and one competition that rugby fans look forward to each year is the Women’s Six Nations. This typically starts around a week after the Men’s Six Nations ends and towards the end of March, before concluding in April.

It follows the exact same format as the men’s competition, as the six competing nations play each other once in a round-robin format. You can also unlock a large range of betting markets during the competition, including both team and player props.

England are the tournament’s dominant team, winning 20 of the 29 Six Nations iterations. They’re also the defending champions and have won seven consecutive titles since 2019. France have lifted the title on six occasions, while have prevailed on two occasions and Scotland once.

European Rugby Champions Cup Betting

The European Rugby Champions Cup, which also goes by the name of the Heineken Champions Cup, is a top-tier tournament for teams that play in the leading European Leagues.

Teams qualify for this prestigious event as a result of their final position in their national or regional league, or by winning the Challenge Cup. As a result, this is a premium competition that features top-tier teams, so matches are keenly contested and moneylines tight.

The Bordeaux Bègles are the current champions, having won for the first time during the 2024/25 iteration, while Toulouse are the most successful team with six titles to their name. Leinster have won the competition 4 times, while the Saracens and Toulon have managed to pick up 3 wins apiece.

Rugby World Cup Betting

When it comes to international rugby events, they do not get much bigger than the Rugby World Cup. This tournament is held every four years, while 10 iterations have taken place since its inception in 1987.

The reigning champions are South Africa as they beat New Zealand in the 2023 Rugby World Cup, giving them their fourth title. New Zealand have won it three times in total, while Australia (twice) and England (once) have also lifted the Webb Ellis Trophy. No other nation has won the crown.

Outright betting is particularly popular ahead of the RWC. Individual matches also generate significant interest and betting markets, with earlier pool games unlocking particularly competitive handicaps and over/under lines.

Women’s Rugby World Cup Betting

This is the female equivalent of the Rugby World Cup, which is also held every four years. The previous edition took place in 2021, so the next one will be played in 2025 in England. New Zealand will be the reigning champions as they won this competition for the 6th time in 2021.

The only other teams that have won this competition are England and the United States, who won the first iteration of the tournament in 1991. New Zealand have been especially dominant in recent times, winning six out of the seven iterations hosted since 1994.

Rugby Autumn Internationals Betting

The Autumn Internationals (which are also called November Internationals or End-of-Year Tests) are Rugby Union test matches that are played in November every year. The format of the Rugby Autumn Internationals generally sees countries from the Northern Hemisphere hosting countries from the Southern Hemisphere.

Moreover, rugby clubs from the participating countries also play in this rugby series. The performances of the teams participating in the Autumn Rugby Internationals count toward their rankings in the World Rugby system, which makes these matches actually quite important. This is particularly true during the build-up to events like the RWC.

Lions Tour Betting

The last Lions Tour took place in South Africa in 2021, as Warren Gatland’s team lost 2-1 following an incredibly competitive and hard-fought series. The next Lions Tour is scheduled to take place in Australia in 2025, with the three matches scheduled to take place between June and August.

You can already access outright betting lines on the 2025 Lions Tour. These include the outright series winner and correct series score, while match betting markets will be released nearer the time.

Rugby Championship Betting

The Rugby Championship is a big annual southern hemisphere competition that sees South Africa, Argentina, New Zealand and Australia play against each other twice.  It used to be known as the Tri Nations, but it changed its name when Argentina joined in 2020.

When it comes to success, New Zealand are way ahead of their rivals with 20 titles to their name, while South Africa and Australia have five and four wins under their respective belts. Interestingly, the All Blacks won six out of seven tournament iterations between 2016 and 2023, but this sequence was snapped when South Africa lifted the title last year.

Argentina have yet to win the tournament, although they have beaten New Zealand twice in the competition since 2020. As just four teams compete, outright betting offers an enhanced chance of winning here, while you can wager on a number of match outcomes at Betiton too.

Premiership Rugby Betting

The Gallagher Premiership is an English Rugby Union competition that comprises the top 10 clubs in England. The top four teams during the league phase will qualify for the playoffs, while also earning a spot in the European Rugby Challenge Cup. The side that finishes bottom will be relegated and replaced by the winner of the second-tier RFU Championship.

This top league starts in September and typically ends in either May or June. A total of 93 matches are played during a campaign, including the three playoff matches to determine the eventual winner. This creates ample opportunities for match betting during the season.

Northampton are the defending champions having prevailed in 2023/24. However, the competition’s most successful team is the Leicester Tigers, who have lifted the title 11 times. Bath, Wasps and Saracens each have six Premiership titles.

United Rugby Championship Betting

The United Rugby Championship, shortened to URC, is a yearly event that includes teams from Italy, Ireland, Wales, and South Africa. It is one of the three major European leagues alongside the French Top 14 and the English Premiership. The league is made up of a total of 16 teams – four from Ireland, two from Italy, two from Scotland, four from South Africa, and four from Wales.

This competition is played between September and May and sees the teams divided into four regional pools. Each team will play the other teams in their pool both home and away, and each team from the other three pools once. The top eight teams then make it to the Play-Offs, which are in a knockout format, until only one team is left standing. The matches in this championship are full of quality and there are plenty of different betting options available.

Rugby League Betting

If your preferred code is Rugby League, then here are many different events that you can put your cash on, and all of the main ones can be found in the following table. We will offer odds for the majority of these Rugby League events, and under each table you can find out more about each competition.

Rugby League World Cup Betting

This competition is contested by the best national teams in the world and sees 16 nations battle it out for the right to call themselves the best Rugby League team in the world. This code is extremely popular in Australia, so it is not surprising that Australia have lifted the trophy on no fewer than 12 occasions. Great Britain has managed to lift the title 3 times, while New Zealand have won it once. The next World Cup will take place in France in 2025, and it is fair to say that Australia will be at the top of the Rugby League betting odds. Their odds of winning will be pretty low, but there will be plenty of other Rugby League World Cup betting options available for you here.

Women’s Rugby League World Cup Betting

Usually, the women’s edition of a World Cup will not be played at the same time as the men’s, but that is not the case with this event. It will also be played in France in 2025, and Australia will be looking to retain the title that they won in 2021. When it comes to success in the women’s game, New Zealand and Australia both have three titles apiece, while Great Britain are yet to win. We will not offer as many odds and markets as we have for the men’s competition, but there will still be some Rugby League World Cup odds on offer to our punters.

Super League Betting

The Super League, called the Betfred Super League because of sponsorship reasons, is made up of 11 teams from the north of England and one team from the south of France. Each team plays 27 matches between February and September, with the top six teams qualifying for the Play-Offs. The team that finishes at the bottom of the pile will find themselves relegated to the Championship. St. Helens are the current title holders, while they have also had the most success with a total of 10 titles. Leeds Rhinos, Wigan Warriors, and Bradford Bulls have also seen plenty of success in this event.

When it comes to the Rugby League best odds, we are pretty certain that you will not be disappointed by what we have on offer here at Betiton.

World Club Challenge Betting

The World Club Challenge is a yearly rugby match between the winners of the European Super League and the National Rugby League. The Sydney Roosters are the current champions, and they are also the most successful team with five titles. When this match is being played, be sure to head on over to our Rugby League betting section because you will find plenty of markets and competitive odds that will keep you highly satisfied.  

NRL Betting

The National Rugby League, also known as the NRL, is a big Rugby League competition that takes place in Australia each year. It is made up of 16 teams from Australia and 1 team from New Zealand. The matches are played in both countries, with each team playing a total of 24 games. At the end of season, the team that is ranked highest on the table is given the Minor Premiership. Then the eight highest placed clubs play in the Play-Offs and two teams compete in the NRL Grand Final, which is one of the biggest sporting events in Australia, with there being plenty of Rugby League Grand Final betting done.

Due to how popular this competition is, whether you are looking for some rugby handicap betting options, some live Rugby League betting, or any other odds on Rugby League, we are 100% certain that you will not be disappointed by the different betting options that we have on offer.

State of Origin Betting

The State of Origin is an annual series between the Queensland Maroons and the New South Wales Blues – this rivalry is considered to be one of the biggest in Australia, with the matches selling out in next to no time. Queensland are the current champions, while they also have the most wins with 23 under their belt. However, over the last five years, the New South Wales Blues have had quite a bit of success, winning three times

Aside from Rugby League Championship betting, you will also have the option of betting on the State of Origin. Even if you do not feel like placing any bets on this match, you should certainly give it a watch because, due to the fierce rivalry, it is one of the most exciting matches of the year.

Challenge Cup Betting

The Challenge Cup is a knockout competition that takes place each year and it involves amateur, semi-professional, and professional teams. In a way, you can consider it to be the Rugby League equivalent of the FA Cup. The teams that have participated in this event have been from England, Ireland, France, Scotland, Wales, Canada, Serbia, and Russia. Wigan have managed to win the title a total of 20 times, and are the current holders of the title. Leeds Rhinos and St. Helens have also had plenty of success in this competition with 14 and 13 titles each.

When you are betting on this event, due to the gulf in class that can exist between two teams, it is wise to consider a bit of handicap betting rugby. You can give the underdogs a better chance of winning by giving them a points advantage or you can improve the odds of the favourites by giving them a points deficit.

Rugby Betting Markets

If you are new to betting on rugby, then you can do yourself a big favour by reading on because we shall now have a look at the most popular markets that rugby betting fans can put their money on.

1 x 2 Betting

With this 1 x 2 market, what you are tasked with doing is trying to predict the winner of a rugby game. The 1 is representative of the home side, while the two is representative of the away side. The X indicates a draw, but it is important to stress that draws in rugby are not that common when compared to other top sports like football.

Double Chance

Sometimes you might think a team will go on to win the game, but you are not 100% sure that they will. In such a scenario, you can make use of the double chance market, where you will cover two possible outcomes for the same game, minimizing your chances of losing. However, since you are decreasing your chances of losing, you should not be surprised to hear that the odds will decrease too. A bookmaker that offers the Double Chance betting market will include the following three options:

• 1x: You bet on the home victory or draw. If the away team wins, you lose your bet.
• x2: You bet on the away victory or draw. If the home team wins, you lose your wager.
• 12: You bet on either the home or away team to win. If it is a draw, your stake is lost.

Winning Margin

With this market you can try to predict the winning margin that the victorious team will win the match by. This market will usually be on offer in matches where one of the teams is considered to be a big favourite. For instance, France will always be big favourites to beat Italy, so you could opt to place a bet on France winning that match by at least 30 points.

Half-Time/Full-Time

With this kind of wager, you must predict the outcome at the end of the first 40 minutes and the outcome when the referee blows his final whistle. There are nine possible outcomes with such a market, and we have listed them below for you:

• Home – Home
• Home – Draw
• Home – Away
• Draw – Home
• Draw – Draw
• Draw – Away
• Away – Home
• Away – Draw
• Away – Away

In order to win when betting on this kind of market, you need to get the result right for both halves. If you are correct at half-time but wrong at full-time, then you will not win your wager.

Over/Under Betting

With the under/over betting market, the sportsbook that you have an account with will provide you with a number for a certain market, and then it is up to you to try and guess whether that particular market will be under or over the figure that was provided. The odds on offer for such a market are never usually that high for over/under betting markets. One of the most popular over/under markets is the Total Points score in the game, and we will provide you with a figure such as 36.5, and then you have to decide whether you think here will be a min of 37 points (over) or a max of 36 points (under).

Highest Scoring Half

Sports such as rugby are split into two 40-minute halves, and the top sportsbooks will give you the chance to bet on the half that will have the most points. With such a wager, it does not matter who goes on to win the match, so long as the half that you bet on has more points scored than the other half.

First Side to Score

If you know that a team is always quick out of the blocks, then this First Side to Score market is definitely one that you want to think about betting on. Just bet on that team to score first, and if they do so you will win your wager. If they ultimately go on to lose the match, it will not make a blind bit of difference to your payout.

Last to Score

You can also bet on the team that you will think score the last points in the match, and this is a market to make use when you know there is a team that has a habit of scoring late. Once again, it matters not whether your chosen team wins or loses the game.

First Try Scorer

Does a team have a player that is at the top of their game and is prolific when it comes to touching the ball down over the whitewash? If so, then a market that you should consider is the First Try Scorer one – you just need them to score the game’s first try in order to be a winner.

Man of the Match

In each match there will usually be one stand out player, and they will go on to win the Man of the Match award. You will be able to try and predict the player that will win this award and, since it is not an easy feat to achieve, the odds that are on offer for such Rugby Union bets will always be high, meaning a respectable payout is available if you manage to guess correctly.

Top Scoring Player

Some sports betting sites will also allow you to bet on the player that will score the most points in the match. A top piece of advice that we can give you here when it comes to betting on Rugby Union matches is to put your money on the player that takes the penalties because there are often plenty of them in this code. For example, Owen Farrell often top scores for England because he takes the penalties and conversions and is a quality kicker. Once again, it does not matter if your chosen player is on the losing team so long as they have scored the most points in the match.

Total Points Odd/Even

With this market, all you need to do is predict whether the final total number of points scored will be an odd or even number. You have a 50/50 chance of getting this market right, which is why the odds that are on offer will never be high. However, it is a bet that can increase the entertainment levels of a game.

See, we told you that it was easy!

Rugby Betting Odds

Whenever you are betting on sports, it is important that you place bets with the best odds possible since this is how you make sure that you get the best value for your money should you go on to win the bet.

Fractional

Fractional odds are popular in the UK, and feature two numbers separated by a hyphen. The first number relays how much you can win in relation to your second, which represents your stake amount. For example, betting on the Bristol Bears to win the 2024/25 Premiership title will unlock odds of 9/1, meaning that a successful £10 stake will see you win £90 (exclusive of your stake amount).

Decimal

Decimal odds are particularly popular among bettors, due mainly to their simplicity. They feature a single number to two decimal places, and this dictates how much you’ll win for every £1 staked (inclusive of your stake amount). Using the same example as above, the Bears are priced at 10.00 to win the Premiership, so a £10 bet will deliver a total return of £100.

American

With American odds, you will see both a + and a -, with the latter indicating the favorite and the former referencing the underdog. The – sign tells you how much you need to stake in order to win £100, while the + indicates how much can be won for every £100 that you wager. The Bristol Bears are priced at +900 to win this season’s Premiership, so a £100 stake here will produce a profit of £900 exclusive of your initial bet. A winning £10 will produce a profit of £90.

Live Rugby Betting

Live rugby betting is also incredibly popular. You can access a huge range of in-play markets when wagering in real-time at Betiton, including dynamic moneylines, handicaps and totals lines.

You can also engage in micro betting. This is focused on short-term markets that will be settled in a few moments, from the identity of the next try scorer to players who you think may be sinbinned.

When engaging in live betting, responsible bankroll management is crucial due to the sheer number of markets available. Also, we’d recommend that you watch the action as you wager, as this will help you to time your bets successfully and make more informed selections
