Where to bet on the Rugby World Cup from the Philippines

The path to the title

The pool stage comprises three pool games per team, with bonus points used throughout matches. Sixteen teams qualify for the knockout phase: the top two in each of the six pools, plus the four best third-placed teams.

Half-time and no-try markets

A particular feature of Rugby World Cup betting is the half-time result market. In this there are options for which team will be winning at half time, with a draw being an option and always carrying the highest odds. No try scorer is another special market, applying occasionally when a match finishes try-less and settling no try scorer as the winner.

Level after 100 minutes

If match scores are level after 100 minutes, the rules call for a 20-minute sudden-death extra-time period to be played. If the sudden-death extra time period results in no scoring, a kicking competition is used to determine the winner.

Champions and automatic places

South Africa enter the 2027 tournament as the defending champions, having beaten New Zealand in the 2023 final, claiming the Springboks' fourth title in total. Twelve teams qualified automatically for the 2027 edition, as a consequence of finishing top three in their 2023 pool.

What the extra knockout round costs

Example. Same chance in every knockout match assumed. Fair price is 1 divided by the chance, no margin.
