Pool stage review and statistical analysis ahead of the RWC quarterfinals

The 2015 RWC will resume on Saturday, 17 October, after the pool stages truly made justice to the beautiful game. It was an excellent pool round which had everything from thrilling rugby, upsets and drama, while proving to be potentially very profitable betting wise as well.

A key trend was without a doubt the ability of the underdogs to avoid huge defeats and the punters who recognized this were able to speculate some massive spreads and under/over lines set by the bookmakers – who didn’t seem to take notice and kept issuing large numbers.

Attempting to increase knowledge on the tournament and predicting how it will likely go in the KO rounds, we compiled a statistical analysis of the group stage in the below infographic.

While you can never be certain that the knockout stage will unfold in a similar manner to the group stage, the infographic confirms that a general betting approach on unders, underdogs and upsets has been the right way to go. I will work to maintain what has been a very good Rugby World Cup for me so far, looking with big eyes on the current trends and also at an excellent Argentinian team, which might hold good value in the quarterfinals.
