Rugby Rules - Basics
Rugby Rules - Basics
Rugby is a contact ball sport played by two teams. The team with the most points wins.
There is always a lot of running and tackling in rugby. Rugby players physically attack each other to prevent the opponent from scoring and to prevent the team in possession of the ball from passing it forward.
Teams try to get the ball over a certain line of the opponent and hit it on the lawn. This earns the team five points and gives the team the opportunity to earn two more points by hitting the ball between the two posts at the far end of the field. Athletes may, at any time during the game, take a shot on goal to add an additional three points to their team's score.
In rugby, the referees award a penalty if a team has fouled and give the opponents the opportunity to kick the ball freely between the posts. A successful penalty shot will bring the team an additional three points.
Capturing the ball in rugby is strictly regulated by the rules of the game. Athletes may not hit an opponent on the head or neck, strike with the base of the foot.
The composition of the teams is divided into attackers and defenders. Defenders form the basis of the team, which prevents the opponent from passing and his ability to take the ball away. These are usually larger and heavier players with serious pushing power. Forwards are dexterous, technically gifted players. Their main role is to score points in the game.
An important player on both sides is the midfielder who most often receives the ball.
Rugby betting
In rugby fans most often bet on the victory of one of the teams.
Rugby is a highly productive game, very rarely the meeting ends in a draw. Many bookmakers do not offer a tie on rugby bets, but some accept such bets with odds greater than 5.00.
A handicap is a variant of betting in rugby. In a handicap, one of the teams receives a conditional advantage or counter-advantage on points. The market is a good option for betting in a match where one of the teams is the favorite.
For betting on rugby, you can successfully use bookmaker freebets. If rugby is a new sport for the bookmaker's client, using free bets will reduce the risk of blowing the bank on a discipline in which the player is not yet well versed.
For example, in the World Cup match, New Zealand plays Tonga. New Zealand is the favorite of the match with a handicap of 13.5 points. The bookmaker's client bets on Tonga with a handicap of +13.5 - the outsider starts the game with an additional 13.5 points.
Calculation options:
- Tonga will win the match or lose by scoring less than 13 points - the BC user will win the bet.
- New Zealand will win by scoring 14 points or more, the bookie will win the customer's bet.
For example, the total number of points in the match given by the BC is 41.5. If the client bets on total over and the match ends with a total score of 42 or more, the user wins the bet. If teams score 41 points or less in a match, the client will lose.
Betting on tournaments and seasons
In addition to individual rugby matches, betting on tournaments and leagues is popular among sports fans.
Betting companies give users the opportunity to bet, for example, on the winner of a tournament. A bet can be made when there is no clear favorite in the competition. With a bet on the winner of the tournament, the fan will receive a team whose performance he will follow throughout the games.
When betting on the championship winner, it is important to keep in mind that the market odds can go up and down during the season. If you conduct a preliminary analysis of the participating teams, you can place a bet at the beginning of the tournament with the most favorable odds.
Betting on individual players
The high priced market is the first try bet – on the player who scores the first try in the match. Usually the favorites are the defenders, who can instantly turn on the attacking flair. But forwards can sometimes make their way to the offensive line, and their odds are usually much higher.
If the bookmaker's client believes that the match will be won by the team that scores more points, you can bet on the player who is the leader in points.
In rugby, you can bet on disciplinary markets. Rugby is an active sport, sometimes there are skirmishes between teams, or a player can make a mistake when tackling. Judges can punish athletes with yellow cards and send them off the field for 10 minutes. Bookmakers offer bets on the first yellow card in the game. You can bet on a serious offense, but red cards are much rarer in rugby.
