Total Try Bands in Rugby Sports Betting is a market where you bet on the range (band) in which the total number of tries scored in a match will fall. It’s different from simply betting “Over” or “Under” a number — you’re choosing a specific group of numbers, known as a “band.”
How It Works:
The bookmaker sets try bands, such as:
- 0–3 tries
- 4–6 tries
- 7–9 tries
- 10–12 tries
- 13+ tries
You bet on the band you believe the total number of tries scored (by both teams combined) will fall into.
Example:
Match: New Zealand vs Australia
Total Try Bands Available:
- 0–3 tries → Odds: 10.00
- 4–6 tries → Odds: 4.50
- 7–9 tries → Odds: 3.20
- 10–12 tries → Odds: 5.00
- 13+ tries → Odds: 11.00
If you bet on 7–9 tries, and the match ends with 8 tries total, you win.
Tips for Betting on Try Bands:
- Check recent team stats:
Look at how many tries each team has scored and conceded in recent games. - Weather conditions matter:
Rainy or muddy fields lead to fewer tries — favouring lower bands. - Type of competition:
Club matches may see fewer tries than international games with faster pace. - Playing styles:
Some teams focus on kicking and penalties (fewer tries); others are more attacking (more tries). - Team strength mismatch:
When a strong team plays a weak one, expect more tries — higher bands like 10–12 or 13+ may offer value.
Betting Strategy Tip:
If unsure between two bands, consider splitting your stake (e.g., half on 7–9 and half on 10–12) to cover a wider range.
