What does “Who Wins the Rest of the Match? (0:0)” mean?
In rugby betting, this market asks you to predict which team will score more points from the moment the bet is placed until full time, ignoring all points already scored.
When the market shows (0:0), it means:
- The rest of the match starts at 0–0 for betting purposes
- Only future points count
- Previous tries, penalties, or conversions do not matter
This market is also known as:
- Rest of Match Winner
- Second Part Winner
- Remaining Time Winner
How the Market is Settled
Your bet is settled based on:
- Tries
- Conversions
- Penalty goals
- Drop goals
Only points scored after the bet is placed are counted
Betting Options Available
Usually, bookmakers offer three outcomes:
- Home Team – Home side scores more points in the remaining time
- Away Team – Away side scores more points in the remaining time
- Draw – Both teams score the same number of points from that moment on
Simple Examples
Example 1: Home Team Wins
- Current score when betting: 12–9
- Rest of match score: Home 10 – Away 3
- Final score: 22–12
Winning bet: Home Team
Previous points (12–9) are ignored
Example 2: Draw
- Current score: 7–7
- Rest of match score: Away 6 – Home 6
- Final score: 13–13
Winning bet: Draw
Example 3: Away Team Wins
- Current score: 20–10
- Rest of match score: Away 14 – Home 7
- Final score: 27–24
Winning bet: Away Team
It doesn’t matter that Home was leading earlier
When This Market Is Most Useful
- When a strong team starts slowly
- After a red card or yellow card
- When one team dominates territory and possession
- During live betting in major tournaments like the Rugby World Cup
Key Betting Tips
- Check momentum
- Look at recent phases, line breaks, and pressure inside the 22
- Watch discipline
- Frequent penalties = easy points for the opposition
- Consider substitutions
- Fresh forwards late in the game often swing the “rest of match” outcome
- Weather matters
- Rain favors penalties over tries → closer rest-of-match scores
- Avoid emotional betting
- Ignore the current full-time score and focus only on future performance
