When you’re making a bet, you’ll see something called a “stake”. It’s just the amount of money you’re putting on the line. It might seem unimportant, but it’s something you always need to pay close attention to.
Thinking about placing a bet on Rugby? On YesPlay, you’ll find Rugby under the Sports section, with both Rugby Union and Rugby League. You will see the markets before the match, including what Super Rugby has to offer. Always keep in mind that guessing the winner is the easy part. You need to be smart about the price you’re getting.
Which number matters?
When you find a team priced at 1.74, it means that they are likely to win. Putting R42 on that team to win would get you R73.08 back, giving you R31.08 in profit. Keep in mind that spending R42 is not a monster punt, it’s simply a sign that you have confidence in your team.
Go to https://yesplay.bet/sports/prematch/rugby and you’ll find rugby sitting right there in the sports area. Markets opening from the game or competition page such as Match Result, Handicap, Totals, and Tries answer questions like: Who will win? Will the stronger team score enough taking into account the handicap? How many points or tries will both teams score?
That’s where rugby punters in South Africa get their advantage over the casual bettor. Knowing small things, like that the game will be played in wet conditions in Cape Town, that a team will be playing with a rotated pack, or that a side will be protecting a lead can all help you predict what the final score will be. Remember you are not betting on any particular team, but simply on a number.
Which rule can catch you?
At YesPlay, rugby bets are based on the score after 80 minutes of game time including any extra minutes the ref adds on for injuries. Extra time and penalties don’t count unless the bet says otherwise. So keep that in mind before you bet on cup matches.
Say the handicap is +6.5 and the underdog is still inside that gap after 80 minutes. That’s the final result for that market based on the regular rules, regardless of what happens in extra time. But Outright markets are a different animal, since they’re all about who wins or gets knocked out.
