The Sport
Rugby might not be the first sport that comes to mind when you think of Filipino sports culture — that spot usually belongs to basketball, boxing, or the PBA. But rugby has been quietly building a passionate following across the Philippines, especially among fans who follow international tournaments like the Rugby World Cup, the Six Nations, and the Rugby Championship.
At 55bw, we recognized that early. That's why we built out a dedicated rugby betting section that covers the full spectrum of the sport — from the biggest international test matches to club-level Super Rugby fixtures. Whether you're watching from a sports bar in BGC, streaming from your apartment in Cebu, or catching highlights on your phone during a commute in Davao, 55bw gives you a way to make every match more exciting.
Rugby betting at 55bw is designed to be accessible even if you're new to the sport. The interface is clean, the odds are clearly displayed, and the markets are organized so you can find what you're looking for in seconds. And if you already know your rucks from your mauls, you'll appreciate the depth of markets we offer on every major fixture.

Odds shift in real time as the match progresses. A team trailing at half-time may offer better value — 55bw updates live odds every few seconds.
Lock in a partial profit before the final whistle. If your team is winning but you're nervous about the last 10 minutes, cash out and secure your returns.
Betting Markets
55bw offers a wide range of rugby betting markets beyond the simple match winner. Here's a breakdown of the most popular bet types available on the platform:
| Bet Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Match Result | Pick the outright winner of the match — Home, Away, or Draw. |
| Handicap Betting | One team is given a virtual points advantage or deficit to level the playing field. Great for lopsided matchups. |
| Total Points | Bet on whether the combined score will go Over or Under a set line — e.g., Over 44.5 points. |
| First Try Scorer | Pick which player will score the first try of the match. High-risk, high-reward. |
| Half-Time Result | Bet on the score situation at the end of the first half only. |
| Tournament Winner | Outright futures bet on which team lifts the trophy at the end of a tournament. |
| Winning Margin | Predict the exact points margin range by which a team wins — e.g., 1–12 points. |
Bettor's Tip
Handicap betting is one of the most popular markets among experienced rugby bettors on 55bw. When a top-ranked team like the All Blacks faces a lower-ranked side, the match winner market offers poor value — but the handicap line often creates a much more interesting bet.
