SNBET's Top Sportsbooks 
URC Odds & Lines for Betting in Canada & Ontario
Top URC betting sites for Ontario & the rest of CanadaIn 2021, Canada's online betting landscape underwent a significant shift, resulting in a bifurcated market for those interested in betting on United Rugby Championship matches. The Canadian government's decision to legalize single-event sports betting marked a pivotal moment, but the implementation varied across the country. While the AGCO in Ontario swiftly opened a regulated market, allowing private brands to partner with the newly formed iGaming Ontario, the rest of Canada maintained the status quo. Outside Ontario, there's been no change, and the "grey market" of offshore sportsbooks remains accessible alongside legal betting options offered by local lottery corporations. To accommodate this divide, we've tailoured the area above our URC odds: for Ontario residents, we display our top legal Ontario betting sites, while for those elsewhere in Canada, we highlight top Canadian betting sites from the "grey market" catering to players in other provinces. Our top three brands are identical in both lists, as they operate in both environments. |
About our URC Odds & Lines: matches above, futures available
Our URC odds feed above presents the highest odds for each potential match outcome across the most popular betting markets within the United Rugby Championship. This compilation of odds explains why there may be slight discrepancies in handicap lines associated with the given betting odds. It's typical for the sportsbook offering the highest odds for one side of a bet to not necessarily have the highest odds on the other side. Consequently, the point spread lines may not align perfectly as the odds and handicaps are sourced from different sportsbooks.
It's essential to understand that these URC odds and lines are sourced from various providers within the Canadian and Ontario context. Therefore, these odds generally offer better value overall compared to any single online sports betting provider. While you only need one betting account to place a URC wager, having accounts with multiple operators and dedicating some time to comparing URC odds can help maximize your potential winnings. Additionally, SNBET provides URC outright winner odds, the primary futures betting market where you can bet on the team to emerge victorious in the United Rugby Championship and lift the "Array" trophy at the end of the season.
United Rugby Championship Odds Explained
Match Result Betting (3-way)
In the United Rugby Championship (URC), you're wagering on the match result: a Home Team win, a draw, or an Away Team win, with no handicap involved. Favourites and underdogs are determined solely by the odds pricing, sometimes presented in a 1X2 format similar to football match betting.
Handicap (3-way)
For the URC, the point handicap is an effort by the odds maker to offer similar odds prices for both teams to win. A point handicap means the match doesn't start at 0-0. The favoured team must score enough points to overcome this handicap to win the bet. From the underdog's perspective, the handicap provides a head start on points. For example, with a 8-point spread, the favoured team needs to win by at least 9 points to win a wager, while the underdog can lose by up to 7 points and still win regarding the wager. If the favourite wins by exactly 8 points, the wager's winning outcome is a 'Draw'.
URC Rugby Odds in Decimal or American Formats
In Decimal odds format (used above), the figures express the full amount that could be returned on a successful wager, including the stake amount. Simply, multiply the stake amount by the decimal odds price to calculate the total return. For instance, a $10 wager on Leinster at 2.35 odds returns $23.50, with a $13.50 profit. The first 1.00 in the decimal odds price represents your stake amount.
In the American odds format, negative numbers indicate the amount needed to wager for a $100 profit, while positive numbers express potential profit for a $100 bet. For example, if the Ospreys are heavily favoured to win at -271, a $271 stake is required for a potential profit of $100, yielding a total potential return of $371. A positive URC odds price, such as +133 on Munster, expresses how much profit one might gain with a $100 bet. So, a winning $100 bet returns the stake plus $133 for a total of $233. (Note that while of course American odds are centered around the figure of $100, this has no relation to your chosen stake amount. You can wager much less if desired.)
