Common Bet Types in Rugby League

Rugby league offers a thrilling range of betting opportunities that let you get involved in every tackle, try, and turning point. Whether you’re a seasoned punter or new to the game, here are some of the top betting markets you’ll find at London Bet:

Match Winner

This is the most straightforward bet—pick which team you think will win the match.

Example: Back Wigan Warriors to beat Leeds Rhinos. If Wigan wins, your bet lands based on their odds.

Handicap Betting (Points Spread)

In matches where one side is a clear favourite, handicap betting levels the field. The favourite is given a points deduction, while the underdog gets a head start.

Example: Bet on St Helens -6.5 vs Hull FC. St Helens must win by 7+ points for your bet to win. Alternatively, bet on Hull FC +6.5 to win, draw, or lose by fewer than 7.

Total Points (Over/Under)

Here, you’re betting on whether the combined final score from both teams will be over or under a line set by us.

Example: If the total is set at 42.5, wager on whether the total points scored will go over or under that figure.

First Try Scorer

Predict the player you think will score the first try of the match—a high-reward market perfect for backing explosive starters.

Example: Bet on Tom Johnstone to notch the first try for Wakefield Trinity. If he touches down first, your bet pays out.

Winning Margin

Add precision to your bet by predicting the exact range by which a team will win.

Example: Wager on Warrington Wolves to win by 1–12 points. If they do, you’re a winner.

Half-Time/Full-Time

This market asks you to predict which team will be leading at half-time and which will come out on top at full-time.

Example: Bet on Catalans Dragons to lead at the break and also win the game.

Team to Score First

Simple yet exciting—bet on which side will get on the scoreboard first, whether through a try, penalty, or drop goal.

Example: Back the Sydney Roosters to strike first against the Melbourne Storm.

Try/No Try in First 10 Minutes

Will there be an early breakthrough? This market lets you wager on whether a try will be scored within the opening 10 minutes.

Example: Bet on “Try” in the first 10 minutes. If either team scores a try in that window, your bet wins.

Key Tips for Rugby League Betting

Rugby league betting can be both thrilling and strategic—especially when you’re armed with the right knowledge. We’re here to help you make more informed choices with these expert tips:

Do Your Homework on Teams and Players

Before placing a bet, take time to review current team form and standout players. Pay attention to recent results, injury updates, and any last-minute squad changes. Teams with in-form key players—especially in pivotal positions like half-back or full-back—often hold the upper hand.

Factor in Home Advantage

Playing at home matters. Teams tend to deliver stronger performances in familiar surroundings, backed by passionate home fans. When a match looks evenly matched, the home side can often edge it—so keep that in mind when placing your bets.

Watch the Weather

Weather plays a big role in rugby league outcomes. Wet or muddy conditions can slow the pace, reduce scoring opportunities, and favour defensively strong teams. On the flip side, dry weather usually means faster gameplay and more tries—use this to guide your totals or try-scorer markets.

Know the Playing Styles

Every team has a different tactical approach. Some focus on high-scoring, fast-paced play, while others rely on strong defence and territory control. Understanding each side’s style can give you a huge edge, especially for markets like total points or winning margin.

Check the Head-to-Head History

Previous meetings between two teams can reveal patterns. One side might consistently dominate the other, or struggle against their tactics. Reviewing past encounters helps you spot psychological or tactical advantages that may not be obvious from current form alone.
