1X2 Tips for Today
Leicester Tigers vs Saracens
Tip 1: Tigers to win
Reason for the tip: The playoff chasing Leicester Tigers welcome Saracens in this Premiership encounter. The home side are currently fourth on the log with 40 points while the visitors are in seventh spot with 34 points. Leicester will be hoping to continue from where they left off against the Saints a week ago when they whitewashed the defending champions. Saracens on the other hand will be looking for a response from their players after they were beaten at home by Harlequins.
It was the manner of the defeat that would have hurt Sarries as they took a 12 point lead but still lost by a 9 points margin. The Tigers have no such problem as both their attack and defence were on fire against the Saints. I am tipping the home side to come away with the win.
Racing 92 vs Bordeaux
Tip 2: Bordeaux to win
Reason for the tip: It is almost unfathomable that the star studded Racing 92 team is on the brink of the relegation zone. They are just three points above the dreaded drop zone as two wins in their last three matches have helped in their quest to survive. The Parisians welcome second placed Bordeaux Begles to the capital for this crucial TOP 14 encounter. The bad news for the hosts is that the visitors have selected a full strength team with Captain Mathieu Jalibert leading the team.
The home side despite having a host of internationals including former England Captain Owen Farrell are not playing as a team with their attack and defence looking well below par. Bordeaux on the other hand are on fire and beat champions Toulouse in their last match therefore I tip the away team for the win.
Handicap Betting Tips For Today
Handicap Betting Tips for Today
Leicester Tigers vs Saracens – Home team (-5.5)
Reason for tip: The home side have always possessed a strong and powerful pack but under the guidance of Michael Chieka they have shown their attacking prowess led by the brilliant Jack van Poorvliet. The nine was unstoppable last week as his side thrashed the Saints. The visitors are struggling this season especially in attack and will be looking to Fergus Burke to link up their dangerous backline that includes internationals Elliot Daly and Nick Tompkins. I am backing the Tigers to win and cover the -5.5 handicap.
Racing 92 vs Bordeaux: Away team (+8.5)
Reason for tip: If there is one team that Racing did want to face it would be their opponents in this match. Bordeaux have arguably the best backline in Europe and can turn a match on its head within minutes so the home side must avoid turnovers at any cost. Racing 92 will be looking to Owen Farrell to guide them away from relegation but he has been plagued by injuries since his signing. I am backing Bordeaux to win a close encounter and cover the +8.5 handicap.

Understanding Rugby Betting
It is crucial that players understand the different types of rugby betting. If a player places a wager on a handicap bet with fully understanding it, he could think they won the bet but instead they lost the bet as they did not understand how it works.
Different types of Rugby bets
Match Winner
The most self-explanatory of bets to take on a rugby match. This is the most common and oldest type of rugby bet in which you select Team A or Team B to win. The odds on this type of bet may be low especially if your team is the favourite.
Draw No Bet
The draw is quite rare in Rugby Union, but it does happen from time to time. If you’re worried about the draw messing up your bet then take a Draw No Bet market. Your bet will be refunded if the match result ends in a draw.
Handicap Betting
The most popular bets on rugby are handicap bets. This is often where some of the best value is to be found. The handicap is an advantage that bookmakers give one team to make the game more balanced. The team given the positive handicap can win, draw or lose the game by less than the handicap to cover the bet and win. The team with the negative handicap must win the match by more than the points set out in the handicap to win their bet.
Total points over/under
The over/under betting market involves predicting whether the total number of points scored in a match will be above or lower than a certain predetermined number. For instance, if you bet on the over/under 50 points market and you bet on under, the combined score of the two teams shouldn’t exceed 50.
First Try Scorer
Rugby fans know the excitement that comes when a player breaks through the defence to score the first try. Betting on the first-try scorer is about predicting which player from either team will cross the try line first. This bet type carries higher odds as it’s challenging to predict, making potential payouts more lucrative.
Anytime Try Scorer
Less specific than the first-try scorer bet, the anytime try scorer wager involves picking a player you believe will score a try at any point during the match. The odds are typically lower than for the first-try scorer but offer a better chance of a payout.
