Betiton™’s Quick Guide to Rugby World Cup Betting Markets

Rugby World Cup betting markets, to put it simply, are the available bets that a bookmaker provides on the championship. These wagers are offered alongside their odds by the bookmakers themselves, which also means that bookmakers calculate odds.

We’ll be explaining what these are in a later section of this page. However, it’s good to know that they’re quite important. For now, we’ll be going over what betting markets you can enjoy when becoming a member of Betiton™ Bookmaker NZ!

What Rugby World Cup Betting Markets Can Kiwis Find at Betiton™ Bookmaker?

  • Outright Winner: this is a wager on who you think is going to emerge at the top in the illustrious tournament.
  • 1X2: for this market, you simply have to back a side or wager on a draw (X). You can either back the home team (1) or the away team (2).
  • First to Score: for punters to win this wager, you simply have to bet on who you think is going to be the side that scores first in the match.
  • Total Points: to win this wager, you have to play your stake on what you think the total number of points scored in the game is going to be.
  • Total Points Odd/Even: much like the above market, except instead of having to guess what the total number is, you simply bet on whether the number of points is going to be an odd or even figure.

Who Are the Favourites for the 2023 Rugby World Cup? Betiton™’s Predictions

As one of the traditional powerhouses of rugby, New Zealand is going to once more enter the tournament as one of the favourites to lift the trophy. The All Blacks will be out for revenge after being dumped out at the semi-final in the 2019 tournament.

Meanwhile, the defending champions, the previous winners South Africa (SA), are looking to build on their 2019 success and try to win a record 4th crown. The Springboks stunned pre-match favourites England, winning by 20 points in the finale.

The English will be looking to go one step further to make another big impression in France after a well-fought World Cup campaign in Japan came to a disappointing conclusion. However, with the home advantage and a young upcoming team, France are also one to watch.

Whichever nations you decide to back—whether it’s the All Blacks, the Springboks, the Wallabies, France’s Les Tricolores, or England’s finest—make sure to play your stake at Betiton™, the online sportsbook where all your wagers count!

Knowing What Rugby World Cup Odds Are and How They Can Help You

Odds indicate the probability of a given outcome for a particular event—the higher the odds, the less likely it is to occur, and vice versa. Moreover, they also explain the “profitability” of a wager by telling you how much you stand to win if the bet goes your way.

Finally, it’s good to know that odds are calculated according to a number of factors. For example, in rugby, many factors play a part, including team and player form, key players missing through injuries or suspension, head-to-head matchups, and more.

At Betiton™, we make it easy for our New Zealand players to try out their rugby betting skills by offering great-value odds and tempting bets on a huge range of matches all season long. All you need to do is sign up with us!

What Odds Formats Are Available at Betiton™ and How Do They Work?

Odds come in 3 different formats, which are: decimal, fractional, and American. The main differences between these formats is how they represent the risk and reward of a wager, and where they happen to be most popular.

Otherwise, the formats are largely interchangeable. At Betiton™ NZ, you can find these formats available at our sportsbook. We’ve already explained how each of the different formats indicates the odds and how you can understand them.

Thus, we highly suggest going through our guide on how to understand the different odds formats. That way, you’ll be able to easily figure out the numbers that we provide alongside our markets on the illustrious Rugby World Cup or other rugby tournaments.

What Are Rugby World Cup Tips and How Can They Help You Improve Your Sports Betting?

Tips are suggestions given by tipsters on which teams to back in the Rugby World Cup. Tipsters are generally sports experts who spend hours upon hours analysing games, previous performances, team and players forms, etc., to provide these suggestions to bettors.

Tipsters’ suggestions, therefore, can be very useful for beginner bettors who aren’t too sure what to bet on, what odds to take, and so on. However, despite that, Kiwi bettors should strive to do their own research instead of simply relying on tipster’s advice.

Knowing How to Find Rugby World Cup Tipsters

Finding these tipsters’ suggestions is actually much easier than you would imagine: a simple search on your favourite search engine will provide you with more than you need. Finally, our best pieces of advice are to stay safe and healthy; stick to a betting budget; and make time for other important things in life.

  • Hardcore rugby fans in NZ will be happy to know that we also provide wagers on other top rugby tournaments, including the highly anticipated Super Rugby. At Betiton™, our Kiwi players can enjoy a wide range of exciting Super Rugby betting markets! Check our sportsbook for more.
