Rugby World Cup

The rugby world cup is held every four years, and has been running since 1987. There are plenty of rugby world cup betting opportunities, but first we'll introduce you to the basics of the tournament.

Rugby World Cup Qualifiers

Rugby world cup qualification now splits 12 tournament positions among the top 3 teams in each of the groups for the prior rugby world cup, and the remaining 8 positions are decided by qualifying rounds. How the qualifiers are run has changed constantly through the years - the most important thing to bettors is that you pay attention to when the odds come out for them!

Rugby World Cup Bets

If you want to make the most money on rugby world cup bets, then we have a simple piece of advice:

NEVER bet on games with your own team.

That tip is sure to save you thousands of bad bets over the years, but as it's not realistic, let's give you a rule you are more likely to follow for your rugby world cup bets:

NEVER put most of your money on games with your own team.

Most of your bankroll for your rugby world cup bets should go to events that you haven't got much of an emotional stake in. Emotional betting is very common for big worldwide events, and you want to take advantage of the misguided bets of other punters while trying not to make the same mistake in games with your home team.

Rugby World Cup Grand Final

Our belief when it comes to grand finals is that you should bet to spice up the game when your team is playing, and look for opportunities to take advantage of the market when you don't care who is playing.

The rugby world cup grand final isn't the largest sporting event in the world, but it is still popular enough to make for some pretty massive betting markets. This will often lead to bookmakers offering many more prop bets, and these rugby world cup grand final prop bets can be very profitable if you look for ways to get an edge in the odds rather than try to pick a result that is likely to be random.

If your team is playing in the rugby world cup, though, we don't recommend you work too hard on maximizing profits. It's too hard to focus when your emotions are running high, so we reckon you should simply place bets to spice things up. Find prop bets on your favourite players and do what you can to make the experience even more exciting. After all, how often can your home team make it to the rugby world cup when it's only held every four years?
