Invented back in 19th century, rugby game has gained lots of fans among the sport betting lovers since the beginning of the era of bookmakers and till today it has been one of the most popular sport types of gambling. These days, bookies like 1xBet offer dozens of matches on a daily basis. Most of these matches come with 4-digit number of different markets.
Specifically here, in 1xBet you are going to find bets for the two main rugby game formats – Rugby League and Rugby Union.
Before starting betting on rugby matches, it is important for you to know well what the differences and the similarities between these two formats are. In short, here is what you need to know in advance:
- Similarities – In both of these two rugby game formats, the matches last 80 minutes. This playing time is divided into two halves, each 40 minutes. The main goal in both formats – the Rugby League and the Rugby Union – is to score more points than your opponent.
- Differences – In Rugby League a team is formed of 13 players on the field and 10 substitutes, while in the Union version we’ve got 15 contestants and 7 substitutes. The other main difference between the two formats is the rewarding with different number of points per achievement – 4 points are given for tries in Rugby League, while in the Union version they are 5 points; 2 points are provided for penalty kicks in Rugby League and 3 points are given for the same achievement in Rugby Union; 1 point is for drop goals in Rugby Leagues, while in Rugby Union for the drop goals you are given 3 points.
