Is combining the flawless performances of the All Blacks with online betting a match made in heaven? Let’s find out!
New Zealand is one of the most beautiful countries in the world, and one of the smallest. Set at what seems to be the bottom of the world, Aotearoa or ‘Land of the Long White Cloud’ really caught the eye and the imagination of the world, thanks to a certain movie franchise. When local native Peter Jackson decided to film both the Lord of the Rings trilogy as well as the Hobbit in NZ, fans really got to see what this magnificent country had to offer.
However, despite its magnificent craggy peaks and breath-taking natural splendour, no one can ever get away from what New Zealand is really known for – pure rugby passion! Out of all the rugby playing nations of the world, including England, France, South Africa, Argentina, Whales, Ireland, Scotland and others, no one can claim to be more full-throttle about rugby than a Kiwi.
Let’s face it, regardless of what team you support in world rugby, you simply can’t deny the fact that the All Blacks are a juggernaut, and their recent performances on the international stage more than bears this out. A stand out moment is without a doubt their recent thrashing of the Springboks on home turf to the tune of 57-0. Yes, that’s right, the Boks didn’t even score a penalty!
Let’s consider a few key All Black stats, which are quite important if we want to back them with a few bucks at an online betting site. The All Blacks’ first ever international match took place in 1903 against neighbours Australia in their own backyard in Sydney. New Zealand came out all guns blazing and walked away with their first international victory with a 22-3 defeat of the Aussies. The All Blacks biggest win to date took place during the 1995 World Cup where they destroyed Japan with an astonishing 145-17 victory. New Zealand have won the World Cup three times, in 1987, 2011 and 2015 and have been named World Rugby Team of the Year no less than ten times.
Still not convinced that the All Blacks and online betting is a match made in heaven? Aside from their consistent record on the international rugby stage, the team itself is pure poetry in motion on the field. Their forward pack is formidable against any side and their back line can swoop and swerve on a dime. They are able to adapt to any game, any weather conditions and update game tactics on the fly. Indeed, they can even do all of that while running flat out for the oppositions try line or on the back foot in defence.
What this all boils down to in terms of what potentially is available to you when it comes to online betting, is options. Online sports betting is more than just who will win a match and who will lose a match. There are tons of great betting options that can be placed. In fact, most top betting sites will even let you put the bet together. You can bet who will get yellow or even red carded first, which team will score a penalty first, winning margin of victory, who will be injured, who will replace them, first to score a try and much more. Not only that but most sports betting sites also offer online casinos where you can spend some time playing the pokies when not trying your hand at sports betting. It should be noted that you should do your research before getting into playing for real money at online casinos or sportsbooks, so check out authority sites like NZOnlineCasinos and get some insider tips. After all New Zealanders know their rugby so they probably know how to bet on it as well. With all that to consider, and the best rugby team in the world right now (ranked number one as of 2016), how can you not believe that it is indeed a match made in heaven?
