Handicaps are used for matches in the Rugby World Cup when there is a clear favourite. The handicap will improve the payout odds as the underdog can start the match with a certain point advantage, meaning a team must win by a wider margin to overcome that advantage.

The Rugby World Cup is a competitive competition, and tight games are common. If you can't decide which team will have the winning edge, you can make a prediction on how many points they will score. Over/under betting lets you predict that Team A will score over or under the specified points.
