Frequently asked questions
What does handicap −7 mean in rugby?
The team with −7 must win by more than 7 points to cover. If they win by exactly 7, it's a push. This levels betting on mismatched fixtures.
How accurate are rugby union handicaps compared to the final result?
Bookmaker handicaps are generally well calibrated over a large sample of matches, but any single game can swing wildly from the handicap due to red cards, weather, or a dominant forward performance, so they're best treated as a rough probability guide rather than a prediction of the exact margin.
