Rugby questions
How does BetEdge model set-piece dominance in rugby picks?
Scrum and lineout win rates are foundational metrics in rugby union — a team dominating their own set-piece generates attacking platform; a team losing it gives away territory and pressure. We use recent scrum win percentage (with and against the head) and lineout throw-and-catch success as inputs to the structural advantage component of our model.
Does BetEdge factor in home advantage for Six Nations rugby?
Home advantage in rugby union is substantial — crowd noise affects defensive line-speed, referee decisions and team composure. International tournaments like the Six Nations show marked home-ground effects, particularly in high-pressure fixtures. We apply venue-specific home advantage factors calibrated from recent Six Nations and URC results.
How does travel and altitude affect rugby picks?
Northern hemisphere clubs travelling for European competitions, or international teams playing at altitude in South Africa, face measurable performance drops. Long-haul travel compresses recovery windows and altitude reduces aerobic output. We apply travel and altitude adjustments when teams face these physical disadvantages.
What rugby competitions does BetEdge cover?
We focus on the Six Nations, United Rugby Championship (URC), Premiership and European Champions Cup where Pinnacle's liquidity supports reliable fair-value anchoring. Rugby World Cup fixtures are covered during tournament periods. Super Rugby (southern hemisphere) is covered selectively.
Are rugby pick results published even when losing?
Yes. Every settled rugby pick appears in the public track record on /track-record. We publish the raw win rate and ROI — positive or negative — with sample-size context. Rugby picks are seasonal, so outside the Six Nations and URC windows the settled count will be lower, which is reflected honestly in the sample-size disclosure.
