Popular Markets

Now that you know which offers are available for the Rugby World Cup, it’s time to consider the best ways to use them. So to start with, let’s examine some of the most popular betting markets and look at some of the various options in which you might like to use your free bets.

Outright Winner

As the name suggests, this market simply asks you to predict the overall winner of the tournament. But who will win the Rugby World Cup this time around? If you have a strong feeling about it then this is probably a good bet for you.

However, outright winner markets are notoriously difficult to predict, although the odds are usually quite generous. You can bet on this market at any point in the tournament, but you’ll find the odds go down the further a team progresses.

It’s also worth considering that most bookmakers offer this market each way, meaning you could still get a decent return on your stake if your selection finishes as runner up.

Top Try Scorer

If you have more knowledge about the teams and players in the tournament, then you might like to have a bet on the top try scorer. Again this is a simple market where you pick the player who will score the most tries in the tournament.

Some bookmakers also offer the chance to bet on the team that will score the most tries, which is another interesting angle to consider.

The odds on the players are usually more generous, but usually this is harder to get right. However if you do, you’ll probably be in for a very nice profit, so it’s well worth considering if you’re staking with a free bet.

Top Points Scorer

Similar to the above, this market asks you to predict the player (or team) that will score the most points in the Rugby World Cup. Here, you should definitely look at the kickers, particularly in teams that rely on them for the majority of their scores. This is often easier to predict than top try scorer, but can still yield some nice payouts.

Match Odds

As well as the outright tournament bets described above, you can also bet on the outcomes of every single match in the World Cup. These bets often yield lower odds, but it’s much easier to predict the result of one match than the entire competition!

Cash Out

With any of the above bets, it’s worth bearing in mind that most online bookmakers will have cash out available. That means you can take a long shot and then if they start well, take a guaranteed profit at any time even if they don’t go on to win.

Not all free bets are eligible for cash out so you should check that first, but if you’re betting with your own money then it’s an approach that many people are using to good effect these days.
