Super League Betting

The non-stop, fast-paced nature of rugby league makes Super League rugby betting popular with punters who love exciting action on the field. Super League betting is a fairly recent phenomenon as rugby league’s elite division was only formed in 1996.

More Super League bets than ever before
The season’s climax is Grand Final betting, after the top six teams take part in play-offs to determine the finalists who play at Old Trafford in October.

There are many different ways to get involved and have a Super League bet. Whether it is straightforward match bets or markets like winning margin or first team to score a try.

Another idea for your Super League bets would be to look at handicap betting odds. This is where the underdog receives a certain number of points in order to keep the Super League odds close and attractive.

Over the course of the season, Super League bets on offer may change as the games progress, but don’t forget the end of season play-off establishes the ultimate champion.

Big Four dominate Super League odds
St Helens are the most successful Super League club and no team outside the ‘Big Four’ of Bradford Bulls, Leeds Rhinos, Wigan Warriors and Saints are likely to pay out on a winning Super League bet.

However, the introduction of the salary cap has evened things up and means the traditional giants of the game are facing increased competition in the Super league odds from 2006′s beaten Grand Finalists Hull FC, the ever-improving Warrington Wolves and emerging French powerhouse Catalans Dragons.

Super League rugby betting will change again in 2009 as Salford City Reds and Celtic Crusaders are added to the competition under a new franchise system, which takes the number of competing teams up to 14.

The changes mean there will no longer be Super League bets on relegation as there is no promotion or indeed relegation under the new format.
