New Zealand 7s(WIN)1.91 odds vs Spain 7s
Tip 1: New Zealand to win
Reason for the tip: A place in the Bordeaux Sevens final is up for grabs as New Zealand and Spain clash in a highly anticipated semi-final. The Kiwis have not had their best season but have a chance at silverware in the season’s final leg. They are the favourites after producing several dominant performances in the pool stages and quarter-finals. The All Blacks Sevens will once again look to the experience and creativity of Akuila Rokolisoa, whose game management and attacking vision have been central to their success. Ngarohi McGarvey-Black remains a constant threat with ball in hand while the Rush brothers remain huge threats.
Spain continues to prove they belong among the world’s elite sevens nations. Pol Pla’s leadership and experience will be vital, while Eduardo López and Manuel Moreno have consistently provided attacking spark throughout the tournament. Spain’s ability to retain possession and create space on the edges has troubled several top teams this weekend. I am backing the experience of New Zealand to win them the match.
Rugby Handicap Betting
Handicap Betting Tips for Today
Fiji vs USA: Home team (-6.5) 1.87 odds
Reason for the tip: Fiji and the United States will battle for fifth place in what has been a largely disappointing tournament for both teams. The Islanders enter the match as favourites thanks to their trademark offloading game and ability to score from anywhere on the field. Players such as Joji Nasova and Iowane Teba have been instrumental in the build up to this match but it is the explosive pace of Vuiviwa Naduvalo that will be the key to success.
The USA have enjoyed an impressive tournament of their own and will fancy their chances of causing an upset. Captain Lucas Lacamp and powerhouse David Still will be tasked with matching Fiji’s physicality at the breakdown. The key battle may come in possession, with Fiji looking to play at high tempo while the USA aim to slow the game down and capitalize on turnovers. I am backing Fiji for the win and to cover the -6.5 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. Our rugby predictions will give you the option of the three way bet or the handicap betting as our previews will focus on this.
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.
