United Rugby Championship Results and Scores
If you want to get the most out of the latest United Rugby Championship results, it really does make sense to put the team names and the fixtures in their proper context. A South African franchise winning up at a high altitude, a local Irish province crushing their arch rivals, or a Welsh team putting in a solid performance at home - all these can carry slightly different levels of betting value when you look at the pre-match prices too.
The final score tells you who won but the odds history gives you a better idea of whether the bookmakers were on the money with their initial assessment of the match.
What Past URC Prices Tell You
The odds history helps make sense of how the bookies came to their conclusions about the relative strengths of the teams and what they thought of the factors that were likely to influence the game - like how much travelling would be involved, or who had got their strongest team out. If a team keeps shortening the odds after announcing a really strong line-up and then went on to win or cover the handicap, it probably means they really were the strongest team. On the other hand, if the favourite started out favourite but the URC odds drifted significantly and then went on to lose, that tells you that the market was underestimating the impact of the home advantage or the travel factor.
In the United Rugby Championship, the match winner market is just one part of the story. You need to look at the handicap lines, the over/under totals and the closing prices too, as they can give you a much better idea of what the bookies thought would happen. Were they expecting a tight, closely-fought battle, a high-scoring game or a one-sided performance from the home team?
URC Results on OddsRun
OddsRun links the United Rugby Championship results with all the betting data: the finished matches, the final scores, the historical odds, the opening prices, the bookies who were offering odds, a comparison of all the odds and the way the prices moved up to kick-off. It really helps you to compare what actually happened on the pitch with what the betting market was expecting at the start of the game.
When it comes to working out tips for future United Rugby Championship matches, the old results are more useful when you take a look at the price history behind them - teams sheets, travel, derby matches, set piece control, the weather and playoff pressure. The scoreboard just tells you what happened but the historical odds give you a much clearer idea of whether the market really did get the game right.
