Six Nations Betting Odds
It’s worth knowing how the Six Nations works before betting on games. The tournament involves six European teams – England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Italy and France – who compete over five game weeks in February and March. Whoever tops the table wins the Championship, but the big prize is to go undefeated and win the Grand Slam.
Betting on the Six Nations takes three forms:
Outright bets – These wagers focus on the futures market, and include outcomes such as tournament winner and top points scorer
Pre-match bets – Place wagers on games before kick-off, such as match winner and first try scorer
Live betting – Enjoy live Six Nations betting in-play and time your wagers to perfection on continually-changing odds
Six Nations Best Bets
So, now we know the type of bets available to players, it’s worth looking at the best Six Nations bets you can make. The most popular bets are the best for newcomers to the sport, as these are usually the easiest to understand and follow in a live setting.
Below are some of the top bets Six Nations fans will place at next year’s tournament:
Match winner – This is the most straightforward bet on Six Nations games. Simply back the home team (1), draw (X), or away team (2) to win. Of course, the odds of a draw in rugby are always a lot higher than for one team to win.
First points scorer – Back a team to score the first points. This is a smart bet if you know a team likes kicking penalties whenever they get the chance.
HT/FT – Wager on who will be leading at half time, and who will win the game. This is a great bet if you think a team will start fast but then fade.
First try scorer – These odds usually focus on wingers and centres, who are likely to get the ball in a try-scoring position. Remember not to overlook forwards who could muscle their way over the line!
Handicaps – Add a score handicap to the final result to even out the odds. For example, you could bet on England to beat Italy with a -14 point handicap. They therefore need to win by 15 points for you to win your bet.
Total points – Bet over/under a specific number for the total points you think will be scored in the entire game, or by one team. This is a great bet if you think it’s going to be a tight contest.
