1X2 Tips for Today
Bayonne vs Clermont
Tip 1: Bayonne to win
Reason for the tip: Bayonne play host to Clermont in this Top 14 encounter. The home side are having dream season as they are currently in fourth position. They were only promoted to the Top 14 two years ago which makes it all the more impressive. They are unbeaten in their eight home matches this season while their opponents Clermont have been very poor on the road.
The visitors have only won two of their nine matches which makes them huge underdogs for this match. Bayonne will need to stop Clermont from getting quick ruck ball as that is the time they are very dangerous. I predict a Bayonne win as they have built a fortress at home.
Blue Revs vs Honda Heat
Tip 2: Blue Revs to win
Reason for the tip: Blue Revs play host to Honda Heat and will be desperate to bounce back from one of their heaviest defeats as they were thrashed 62-14 by Kubota Spears. They will need their international stars Kwagga Smith and Charles Piutau to step up in this match if they are to forget the ghosts of last week.
Honda Heat on the other hand come into this match full of confidence, having won their last two matches. Their strength is in the pack as they have international stars Pablo Matera and Franco Mostert in their ranks. Blue Revs will need to keep ball in hand if they are to nullify the visitor’s pack. I am tipping Blue Revs to win as they will want to show last week was just a bad day at the office.
Tokyo Sungoliath vs Yokohama Canon Eagles
Tip 3: Tokyo Sungoliath to win
Reason for the tip: Sungoliath welcome the Canon Eagles to Tokyo for this Japan One League match. The home side have had a rollercoaster of a season as they failed to win any of their first four matches with two draws and two losses. They have since won four of their last five matches to sit in 7th position with 21 points. They are five points behind the playoff positions.
Canon Eagles are in the midst of a dreadful run as they have lost their last three matches and as a result they will struggle to make the playoffs. They will need to win this match if they are to have any chance. I am backing the home team to win this match as they play with much more cohesion in attack.
Handicap Betting Tips For Today
Wild Knights vs Kobe Steel: Home team (-8.5)
Reason for tip: The Wild Knights have been in scintillating form during the season and look like the favourites for the title. They have the right mix of power in the pack with Lood de Jager leading the charge while their backline is controlled by the Springbok great Damian De Allende. Kobe Steel will do well to keep the home side at bay early in the match as playing catch up rugby against the Wild Knights is impossible. I predict the home side to win by more than 10 points thereby covering the -8.5 points handicap.
Bayonne vs Clermont (-10.5)
Reason for tip: Bayonne are one of just two teams that are undefeated in their home matches this season. They are playing like a seasoned Top 14 team yet they only returned to the top flight two seasons ago. Clermont on the other hand are struggling on the road and I expect them to suffer more pain in this match. I am predicting a Bayonne win by more than 10 points and should cover the 10-point 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.
