Perhaps more than in any other sport, specific rugby teams tend to dominate other teams year-in and year-out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is particularly true of international rugby, where power imbalances between teams can result in predictable patterns. If you\u2019re aware of these patterns, you\u2019ll be able to place more informed match and winning margin bets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check-the-weather\"><\/span>Check the weather<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Weather has a substantial impact on the flow of a rugby union game, so knowing what the weather will do ahead of a match can help you place smarter bets.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Sunny weather is more likely to produce fast and flowing rugby with high scores, whereas wet weather generally produces tighter, lower-scoring contests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Always consider the weather when placing winning-margin bets and under\/over bets on the total tries or combined score betting markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Track-injuries\"><\/span>Track injuries<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Successful rugby teams learn to function as cohesive units, but typically one or two players are instrumental to overall team performance. Injuries to key players can be devastating to a team, even if other positions are populated by quality players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The better you know the tournaments and teams you follow, the better you\u2019ll be able to predict the impact of injuries, and even substitutions, on the outcome of matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check-team-schedules\"><\/span>Check team schedules<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rugby takes a heavy toll on players, and a packed schedule can have a significant impact on how teams perform. A hectic schedule is likely to have a negative impact on a team\u2019s form, as well as making injuries more likely. Considering a team\u2019s schedule can be particularly important before placing bets on outright winner markets for tournaments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Monitor-rugby-news\"><\/span>Monitor rugby news<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A number of websites track the latest news from the rugby world. Information you get on the latest events in your chosen league can be the difference between making winning and losing bets. Dust-ups in training, managerial problems, ineffectively handled player injuries and mid-season player transfers can all have a substantial impact on the performance of a rugby team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consider-using-winning-margin-betting\"><\/span>Consider using winning margin betting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Winning margin betting can be extremely lucrative for punters who bet on rugby.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Many bookmakers offer both 5 and 10-point margins, allowing rugby fans to back teams at far higher odds than in the match betting markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also use winning margin betting markets to hedge bets placed in match betting markets. Place a back bet in the match betting market, and then back the opponent to win by 1-10 points in winning margin market to hedge your bet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shop-for-the-best-odds\"><\/span>Shop for the best odds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s wise to compare odds before placing rugby bets, particularly when trying to extract value from the type of one-sided encounters that typify international rugby. Odds comparison services can help you track down the largest selection of rugby betting markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Take-advantage-of-specials\"><\/span>Take advantage of specials<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A small selection of bookmakers, including\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bethq.com\/go\/bet365\/\">bet365<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bethq.com\/go\/boylesports\/\">Boylesports<\/a>, routinely offer money-back specials on high-profile rugby matches.
