How to read rugby union odds 

Rugby union odds at Betway are typically shown in a fractional format, which is used by most bookmakers in the UK. This style reveals how much you could win in relation to your stake before you place a bet.  

With fractional odds, the number on the left shows the profit you would make if your selection wins, in proportion to your stake (the number on the right). Higher numbers, or longer odds, typically indicate a perceived-less-likely outcome, so they offer larger potential returns.  

For example, odds of 4/1 mean that a winning £10 bet would return £40 in profit, plus your original stake, while odds of 2/1 would return £20 plus your stake.  

If you’re new to reading odds or want more clarity, our fractional odds guide explains everything in simple terms, or you might want to use our bet calculator for instant estimates.  With Betway, you can also switch to the odds format of your choice, including decimal odds and American odds.
