The New Zealand Angle

Generally in the case of international events, New Zealand takes the cake. On most occasions they are the ones who come on top and you are basically betting everyone against them. They have always been a great competitor and the success of the All Blacks is legendary. A small nation, but their prowess in the game more often than not far surpass any other in this sport.

Popular Bets

Match betting in this sport does not yield much value for the one placing the bet. That’s because a strong team is almost always destined to win a match due to the points structure. Value is best found in handicaps and in winning margin markets. This kind of betting allows a person to gain some degree of value even by betting on expected outcomes. After that the story is all about the ‘how much’ factor. How much will the winners win by or how much will the losers lose by. The first try scorer and its opposite the last try scorer and total points are also some other popular bets that one can explore.

Live betting
