Rugby Betting 

Rugby union is more widespread and gives us top rugby competitions like the Six Nations, Rugby World Cup, and Premiership Rugby. Rugby union is played with 15 players, rugby league has 13. Union awards five points per try, league awards four. There are also slight differences in playing style and game rules.

Both styles are very popular in the UK. In fact, the England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland national teams are all relative heavyweights in the rugby world.

And since there are rugby events practically all year round, why not join the rugby betting action? 32Red is one of the best rugby union betting sites in the UK, offering a catalogue of markets and competitive rugby union betting odds. Bet on rugby union and enjoy seamless sports betting today!

Rugby Betting Markets

What rugby union betting markets are there at 32Red? We offer a wide range of wager types, from prop bets on player specials to straightforward outright competition winners. Here are the most popular rugby union betting markets:

Match Winner: A simple bet on who you think will win the match. Tip: don’t always go with the clear favourite - you never know what can happen in rugby!

Outright Winner: Another common bet across rugby union betting sites, outright winners let you bet on who you think will be the overall winner of a competition.

First Try Scorer: Who will score the first try of the match? This special player market lets you decide who you think will make an immediate impact in the game.

Top Points Scorer: Fancy a player to do well in the game? Bet on them to be the top points scorer for the match, which covers all points scored from tries and conversions.

Winning Margin: Sure, one team might be the clear favourite to win, but can you guess by how many points they’ll win? Place a winning margin bet if you feel confident that a team will win by six, seven, eight, or more points!

Handicap Betting: Bet on a team to win the game when a hypothetical handicap is applied (e.g., bet on England to beat France with a handicap of -5.5, meaning England must win by 6 points or more). We discuss rugby union handicap betting in more detail below.

 

Best Rugby World Cup Betting Odds

The Rugby World Cup is held every four years and features the strongest nations, like England, New Zealand, South Africa, France, Australia, and Argentina. South Africa are the current holders, having won in 2019 and 2023. The next edition is in 2027, but you can bet on outright World Cup winners now at 32Red.

 

Live Rugby Betting 

What’s better than placing bets on rugby union with great odds? Placing live rugby bets with even better odds! At 32Red, you can bet in play and take advantage of changing odds. Time your bet right, such as by going against the run of play, and you may be able to increase your winnings! Live rugby betting also enables you to cash out if your confidence in your wager changes (although this is only for certain betting markets).

 

The Six Nations Betting

The Six Nations is an annual rugby union tournament between England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France, and Italy, held every January/February to March. The last winners were France, equalling England’s record for most triumphs with seven. You can bet on winning teams, player markets, and individual awards.

 

Local Teams Rugby Betting: Lions Tour  

The British & Irish Lions Tour is held every four years. A combined team of players from England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland play a series of test matches against a world heavyweight nation, such as Australia or New Zealand. Not many rugby union betting sites offer Lions Tour markets, which is why 32Red is the place to be for rugby betting!

 

Rugby Union Handicap Betting

What is rugby union handicap betting and how does it work? A handicap bet is when you bet on a team to win the game when a handicap is applied. For example, if you bet on England to beat Scotland with a handicap of -7.5, England have to win by 8 points or more for your bet to win. But if you bet on Scotland with a handicap of +4.5, you’ll win your bet as long as Scotland don’t lose by more than 5 points.

How Do Rugby Odds Work? 

Rugby odds at 32Red are displayed as fractions or decimals, depending on your personal preference.
