Rugby Spread Betting Shirt Numbers

Staff Writer - 19 Nov 2009

In this market SportingIndex predict the aggregate number of the try scorers' shirt numbers in a match.

For example, if numbers 13, 12 and 14 all score a try, the total shirt numbers would be 39.

Take a clash between England and France. SportingIndex reckon this might well turn out to be a relatively attacking game with plenty of tries. As a result SportingIndex might quote Total Shirt Numbers at 63-67.

If you expected a really open game with points being scored freely you might bet high at 67 for the stake of your choice, in this case, say £5 per point. If England had beaten France 48 - 19 with seven tries being scored, the shirt numbers might have added up to 83. As a result you would have made 16 times your stake: (83 - 67) x your stake = 16 x £5 = £80. But, if you had gone low at 63 for the same stake, your spread bet would have lost you 20 times your stake: (63 - 83) x your stake = -20 x £5 = -£100.
