How to know if a rugby tip is reliable?

Firstly, before beginning your own thorough analysis, the first thing you need to do ensure you make the best rugby union predictions is to estimate the reliability of your betting tips. To do this, it is important to take a good look at the odds offered by the bookmakers. Take for example, an English Premiership meeting between Saracens and Bristol. In this case it seems clear that a forecast of 'Saracens to win' seems much more reliable than that of 'Bristol to win' given the difference in quality of the teams.

Therefore, if you see a bookmaker offering 'Bristol to win' at quite low odds (e.g. 1.40) it would not be advised to place a bet: given the proposed odds it is not reliable. Before placing your wager, whether it's for an English Premiership rugby prediction, a Top 14 rugby prediction or even a Champions Cup prediction, make sure you compare your estimate of the match with the odds offered by online sports betting sites. The ratio between the probabilities of a bet and the odds offered will easily indicate the reliability of a prediction: essential before continuing with your forecast.

Our 5 tips before making your rugby bet selection

Equipped with years of experience, and also a passion without fault, our rugby prediction experts have prepared 5 crucial tips to make your bet successful. Use it to make the make the most when cashing out on the oval ball.

Tip 1: Register with all bookmakers

The first thing to do, even before analysing the match of your choice, will be to register with as many bookmakers as possible. It may be the case that the match you want to bet on is not offered by all bookmakers, so registering on any different sports betting sites will allow you to limit this risk and bet in all circumstances on the match you want. If you want to know more about these bookmakers, do not hesitate to consult our dedicated bookmakers reviews page for more information on betting sites. In the meantime, you can also hav a look at some of the best current offers:

Tip 2: Pay attention to the international calendar

After completing the first step, it is time to include a more analytical look in your latest rugby predictions. Before betting it is important to consider the heavy schedule of training, as rugby is one of the only sports where clubs do not take a break in the case of international matches.

For example, if you want to bet on Leinster in the Guinness PRO14 while the Irish Rugby team is engaged in international fixtures, it is crucial to study the data like the influence of the latest absence of big name players such as Sam Prendergast before placing your bets. A club in which no players have international commitments can often have the advantage, be sure to include this factor in your analysis.

Tip 3: Check the fitness and motivation of the players

Also important to remember, the form and motivation of players can also have a direct impact on the outcome of a match. In concrete terms, if a team such as Exeter is preparing for an important upcoming European fixture like the Rugby Champions Cup, it will tend to play more conservatively at a national level.

Vice versa, after a big European match, teams will often lose more points in national championship games. Keep in mind that rugby requires a higher energy reserve than many other team sports. The state of fitness of a group, as well as its real motivation to win, will be decisive in the final result of a match.

Tip 4: Analyze the current ranking

Fourthly, it is also necessary to analyse the current ranking between two sides before making your prediction: rugby is often cyclical, both at national and international level. For the latter, for example, world rugby is often dominated by teams from the southern hemisphere, such as New Zealand, Australia or South Africa. The same reasoning also applies for local rugby championships: if you want to make some rugby predictions tomorrow, you will have to be smart and take this historical periods of dominance into consideration.

Tip 5: Bet on handicap betting

Finally, the last rugby tip for your betting, remember that draws are rare and shock upsets to dominant seldom occur. Top teams often win by a wide points margin, and this difference in score is accentuated by the offensive bonus points. Rather than predicting victory, play the score spreads by placing handicap bets. This will allow you to enjoy great odds (and therefore nice potential gains), while focusing on a reliable forecast: the rugby specialist's word.
