This team sport is one of the most popular in Britain and Australia. In the pre-match lines of the Russian bookmakers, only the most significant tournaments are covered, so rugby predictions are more often made by experienced bettors who specialize in this discipline.
Types and features of bets on rugby
Rugby match betting goes into pre-match and live with a standard set of markets – just like in many other team sports. Among the most requested:
The outcome of the match and individual game segments;
Minus and plus odds;
Total match total and team totals – by conversions and points scored.
In the list of large British offices there are markets for the individual performance of players, the likelihood of injury to rugby players during the match. Final bets on winning the tournament are also accepted.
Rugby predictions for today are always based on complex analytics. A bettor should take into account not only the rating of the team, but also its current game conditions, the presence of injured leaders, the history of meetings with a particular opponent.
Significant tournaments include the World Cup and the Six Nations Cup. The richest selection of rugby bets can be found in the lines of British bookmakers. They offer bettors a variable pattern and bets with a small margin.
Sumo Predictions
Sumo is a well-known sport, the essence of which is the struggle of two heavyweights with strict observance of traditions.
Sumo predictions are not very popular. At least this applies to bettors living in the territory of the CIS countries. From short-term bets, only forecasts for the outcome are available. Long-term sumo forecasts look interesting, for example:
Total wins of some sumo wrestler for the tournament. On average, a wrestler spends 15 fights in one competition;
Bet on sensation. This is a prediction that the sumo wrestler, who is among the low-ranking ones, will win the tournament;
Bets on the fact that some sumo wrestler will rise or fall in the ranking;
Bets on whether there will be a Superfinal;
During the fight, one of the opponents may be disqualified, but bookmakers often ignore this market.
Main tournaments
Outside of Japan, sumo exists exclusively at the amateur level. Accordingly, the most prestigious are the six professional Japanese tournaments that are held every year.
The best bookmakers
The disadvantage of sumo in terms of betting are long stretches without competition. There are no fights in Japan for about 9 months a year. Among Russian bookmakers, you can make predictions for sumo in Mostbet com and Marathon.
