A RWC betting angle to to mull over lads.
I think there could be some money to be made betting on red cards in this world cup. If reds are given out at the same average rate of recent internationals (1 every 5 games across 6 Nations, Autumn Intls, Rugby Championship, Pacific Nations Cup) a 48 game world cup would have 9.6 red cards. Sporting Index have set the linen at 6.5 reds or at the regular bookies you can back 6 reds or more at 4/6.
There were 8 reds at the last world cup. How many do you reckon there'll be this time? Do you reckon the new bunker review system will drive down the amount of reds?
