When I first started betting on Rugby I always treated the Handicap as a side show. Pick the team that everyone expects to win, take a quick glance at the line and move on.
When betting, it is very important to do your research before placing bets. YesPlay offers different bet types, including Both Rugby League and Rugby Union with the NRL being the first option presented. Keep in mind that different matches will have varied market offers.
Before settling on your decision, ask yourself this question: would I rather wager on the final result, the total scores, or the handicap. The choice you make will vary based on your preferred style of betting.
Result or handicap
The Result route is simple, requiring you to look at the 1×2 market and decide which team you feel will win the match. If the stronger team wins, you get your payout, otherwise, you lose. It is the perfect choice for users who want to keep track of their bets without having to fuss over other stuff.
Handicap Sport will require you to analyse the match and determine whether the winning team can cover the line. On YesPlay’s Rugby page, you’ll be able to see the prematch NRL listings and choose whether you want to bet on The Handicap or 1X2 market.
Go to https://yesplay.bet/sports/prematch/rugby to check out the current betting lines and place a bet.
For favourites, the handicap may increase payout odds if you expect the underdog to lose by a big margin. If you think the match will be tight, you can pick the underdog and potentially win big if they manage to hold the line. Keep in mind that a team can win a match, but still fail your handicap bet.
Total or match
Depending on your playstyle you have the following options when making a bet. If you just wanna relax and chill, then Result market is your best choice. Handicaps are good if you’ve gathered lots of knowledge on the team and know what you’re doing. And Totals are those who like to go with a riskier but more rewarding option of trying to guess the number of points and not who’s going to win.
