Rugby World Cup 2011 Tips And Odds Make New Zealand Standout Choice
Monday 05 September 2011 at 11:24
 The Rugby World Cup 2011 gets underway this week and despite reaching the last two Rugby World Cup Finals, England are relatively unfancied this year with New Zealand dominating the odds and the tips on the OLBG Tipster Competition.
New Zealand Overwhelming Favourites To Win On Home Soil
New Zealand will host the 2011 Rugby World Cup and will therefore have home advantage, they would have been the side to beat anyway which is why they are currently available at such short odds to lift the trophy on October 23rd. New Zealand are just 4/6 with Sportingbet and Blue Square which is a price that won’t appeal to many but they are the most popular tip on the OLBG Tipsters Competition, currently 38.5% of tipsters have backed New Zealand at those odds. Australia are the clear second favourites in the Rugby World Cup Betting at 7/2 with Bet365 so it is no surprise they are the second most popular team in the tipster competition, Australia have attracted 20% of the tips at the moment.
England Look Overpriced Based On Previous Performances
England have done extremely well in recent Rugby World Cups, they reached the final four years ago and were slightly unlucky losers whilst they lifted the Rugby World Cup back in 2003. The bookies clearly don’t think they have as good a chance this year, Boylesports and Sportingbet are willing to offer 18/1 yet over 10% of OLBG Tipsters have still gone for England which suggests they could be good value this year. South Africa are the only other team to have attracted more tips than England (13.5% at the moment) and they are available at 8/1 with SkyBet but the bookies also think France will do better than England, France are rated at 16/1 with Paddy Power and Stan James.
