Rugby World Cup Odds for Outright Betting in Canada & Ontario

 

Rugby World Cup futures betting: Ontario vs. the rest of Canada

Whether you're an ex-pat from a rugby-loving nation, or you're a Canadian that's into the sport and you want to get an outright winner bet down, know that Canada now has two distinct, separate market segments for online betting. In 2021, Canada moved to allow single-event sports betting, but only Ontario opened a regulated market of "private" operators, to go with Proline from OLG.

For bettors outside Ontario, across the rest of Canada, there has been no change. The "grey market" of offshore betting sites remains available for play, to go along with the officially legal options run by local lottery corporations.

To help our readers, above our Rugby World Cup odds, if you are in Ontario, we show you our recommended legal Ontario betting sites. If you are elsewhere, we highlight the top Canadian betting sites for players based in other provinces.

 

Rugby World Cup Futures and Ante Post Markets Explained

Rugby World Cup outright betting stands as the most popular international rugby union futures betting market. Futures markets, also known as ante post markets, involve wagers that are contingent on longer-term outcomes that finalize after an entire tournament, rather than for individual games.  For quadrennial events like the World Cup, people can technically place bets years in advance. Typically, for the team that ultimately wins, the most lucrative odds for the outright winner will emerge before the tournament commences. As the Rugby World Cup progresses and teams drop out, odds adjust, offering less lucrative returns for teams poised to win the final.

 

Examples of Rugby World Cup Outright odds are expressed in decimal & American formats

In Decimal odds format, the odds represent the full potential return on a wager, with the first 1.00 of the odds reflecting the returned stake amount. To calculate your full potential return, simply multiply the decimal odds figure by your stake amount. For example, if England is listed at 4.50 to win outright, a $10 bet would return a total of $45.00, including the stake, with a potential profit of $35.00.

In American odds format, two expressions exist, both involving the figure of $100. Negative numbers, which are rare until the tournament's end, indicate the amount you would need to wager in order to get a $100 profit. Only heavy favourites get negative figures here.  Positive American odds figures express your amount of potential profit for a $100 bet. For instance, if South Africa has odds of +275 to win outright, a $100 stake would yield a $275 profit, totaling a $375 return.  Remember however, that this is merely how the odds are expressed, you need not wager $100.
