Rugby World Cup: Punters Piling On The Under Dogs!
Punters are latching on to the fact that all the underdogs have come good in the handicap betting for the first eight matches and William Hill have taken evasive action reducing the handicap for all three of the next round of matches.
Somoa are now 1/1 at -29 from -31. Tonga are -6 from -7 and Scotland are -19 from -21.
"Punters have had the better of the World Cup so far and are sticking to their winning formula of backing the outsiders in the handicap betting," said Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams.
