NRL Match Odds explained

Match Result Betting (3-way)

In NRL match result betting, you're wagering on three possible outcomes: a Home Team win, a Tie, or an Away Team victory. Unlike some other betting markets, there is no handicap involved. Favorites and underdogs are determined solely based on the odds pricing provided by sportsbooks. Some platforms may present this in a 1X2 format akin to football match betting, where '1' signifies the Home team, 'X' represents the Draw, and '2' denotes the Away Team.

Handicap (3-way)

In the National Rugby League, the point handicap serves to balance the odds by adjusting the perceived strength of each team. This means that the game doesn't start with a score of 0-0. The favoured team must score enough points to overcome this handicap to be declared the winner. From the underdog's perspective, the handicap may provide a head start on points towards winning the match. For instance, if the spread is 11 points, the favoured team needs to win by 12 points for a bet on them to succeed. Conversely, the underdog can lose by as many as 10 points and still win the bet. If the match ends with the same point differential as the handicap, in this case, 11 points, the outcome will be considered a 'Tie' for wagering purposes.
