Rugby Union Betting - Bet Types
Rugby union betting favourites with Centrebet include head-to-head, winning margin (start), half-time/full time doubles, first scoring play, first try scorer and player will/will not score a try options.
From time to time we will also open exotic markets such as the host of the next World Cup or the year a prominent player will make his last international appearance.
Tournament winner books are opened as early as possible before scheduled play commences, so get in early while the odds are generous!
Centrebet may also offer live rugby union betting, including head-to-head and next try scorer options, on high-interest end-of-season finals and tournament finals.
In addition, rugby punters may like to place a doubles wager on the eventual winners of the Super 14 and either the Australian NRL or Australian AFL football competitions. Premiership doubles punting is an excellent way for the non-professional punter to add excitement, and a potential windfall, to their favourite football seasons. To illustrate the point, take a moment to consider the Centrebet punter who backed the unlikely combination of the Sydney Swans and Wests Tigers, as an AFL/NRL premiership double, for a win of close to AUD$1,000,000 from his AUD$700 stake.
Rugby Union Betting - World Cup Winners
