NRL Betting Tips

Head to Head betting is like a walk in the park when it comes to punting on most sports matches. Simply pick the team you reckon will come out on top, and if they do, you're a winner too.

Line betting is when the bookies will give a prediction of a margin and you as the punter back if the favourite will cover the handicap or the underdog will keep the game closer than expected.

For instance, if the bookies figure the Brisbane Broncos are ten points better than the Gold Coast Titans, they'll handicap the Broncos by 10 points. So it's a matter of Brisbane winning by more than ten points or the Titans closing the gap to within ten points of the Broncos. 

Betting what commonly is referred to as the OVER or UNDER generally relates to predicted the total points scored in the game between both teams. The bookie will set a total that varies from game to game depending on the statistical prediction of how many points both teams will score.

So if you have a gut feeling that it is going to be a cracking game with plenty of points on the board then you bet the OVER. Or maybe you have seen that the ah McCain rains are coming on gameday, it might be worth chucking some change on the UNDER.

Margin betting is all about picking the margin window in which a team will win.

Let's say you're confident that the Penrith Panthers will beat the Sydney Roosters and you fancy a margin bet. Well, you'll need to correctly predict the points gap between the two sides when the final whistle blows. So, if you reckon the Panthers will win in a close contest by 1-12 points, that's the option to go for. Or maybe you believe that the Panthers will romp home with a victory margin of 13 points or more, then you take 13+.

This little beauty allows you to predict which team will be leading the game at both half-time and full-time. With a plethora of possibilities in any match, including the chance of a draw, you can really put your prediction skills to the test.

Here's your chance to pick the player from either team who you reckon will break the ice and score the first try of the game. And hey, in most games, you can even place a bet on the last try scorer for an extra thrill.

If you are a gun tipster then NRL multi bets are the way to go. All you need to do is string together your best bets for the weekends matches and put them in a multi to give you smashing odds and profitable returns.

What the majority of tipsters do is put all of the weekend’s predicted winners in a multi bet and if you tip the round you will reap the rewards, although, it is going to be your shout next round if you win!

With the Same-Game multi, offered by online bookies, you can go wild and accumulate up to 12 bets within a single game with different bookmakers . It's like wrangling all your wagers into one neat package and improving your odds for a max payout. 

Most bookies now have a same-game multi builder that accumulates the odds depending on your choices, taking all of the brainwork out of it for you. Just choose your winning combination and decide how much to wager and you are done!

There are plenty of markets to bet on before the first kick-off has even been struck. There are an array of markets to choose from varying individual accolades to how well a team will perform under the home and away season. 

Future markets in NRL include:

The Provan-Summons Trophy is awarded annually to the team that wins the Grand Final in the National Rugby League.

You can predict if a team will finish with one of the Top 4 best winning records after the home and away season.

Decide whether a team will make the finals (Top 8) after the regular season.

The bookies will predict the amount of wins each team in the league will reach, while you as the punter can back if you expect them to win more/OVER the total or less/UNDER the total.

As it reads, you decide which team will record the most losses during the home and away season.

Not to be confused with most losses, although often the same team this can also be decided on for and against if 2 teams have recorded the most losses during a season.
