Just a little bit of pressure or a simple mistake can trick you into thinking you know what’s going to happen next and which way the game is trending. Yes, rugby has patterns, but keep in mind that your eye isn’t always going to beat the odds.
First myth
When you bet on rugby matches on YesPlay, don’t always assume the obvious team is the best pick. Big favourites usually come with very low payouts. An underdog or even the draw can pay more. Just keep in mind that there is more to it than the first price on the board.
If Leinster or the Blues are the odds-on favorites, it might seem like a great idea to just bet on them, but the payout won’t be spectacular. For example, imagine you bet R42 at 1.21 odds. If you win, you’ll get R50.82 in return. Decent, but nothing to write home about. Checking out the handicap or total points can sometimes give you a better idea of what’s worth betting on.
Second myth
Some people try to guess if the total score is going to be higher or lower than the bookmaker predicted, but it’s never easy. For example, in rugby having just one yellow card will allow the team to score more lekker points, or a good defence can keep a team from scoring.
Hey rugby fan, if you want to make watching rugby even more fun, YesPlay has Rugby Union and Rugby League listed. Check out pre-match events like the European Rugby Champions Cup, European Challenge Cup, and Super Rugby. Just head to https://yesplay.bet/sports/prematch/rugby to see each game’s 1×2, Total, Handicap, and “More markets” options.
Third myth
People think that betting on more markets will somehow increase their chances of winning more. But it’s another lie. A market with 108 options doesn’t mean you have to bet on all of them to get lucky. Set a limit and try not to go over it.
Listen up, rookies! If you’re the kind of guy who watches Super Rugby every week, then you probably understand all the small details that no one else notices. This will make it easier for you to decide how to bet. Bet smart and only put money on the sports you know. Don’t be that oke throwing money away on the first sport he sees.
