How Try-Scorer Betting Works

First try-scorer pays if your player scores the game's opening try — high odds, high variance. Anytime try-scorer pays if they score at any point — shorter odds, much higher strike rate and the smarter starting point for most punters. Last try-scorer and 2+ tries round out the market.

Where the Value Is

• Outside backs over forwards for first try — wingers and fullbacks finish more opening tries than tight forwards, yet crowds pile onto marquee names, inflating their price and lengthening others'.
• Goal-line forwards for anytime — a strong pick-and-go No.8 or hooker is great anytime value in a dominant pack.
• Check the bench and weather — wet-weather games favour forwards close to the line; dry, fast games favour the backs.

Compare prices across books first — see odds comparison — and read the full rugby betting guide.
