Supremacy
If we thought Ireland were slight favourite over Scotland for a rugby match we might put our supremacy price at Ireland over Scotland 3 to 6 points i.e.
Ireland / Scotland 3-6
If you thought Ireland would do well you would bet high or “buy” their supremacy at 6 for your chosen stake say €10 a point.
If you were right you would win €10 for every point over 6 that Ireland beat Scotland by
So if Ireland won 36-10 (won by 26 points) you would win (26-6) x €10 = Win €200
If Ireland won 50-10 (won by 40 points) you would win (40-6) x €10 = Win €340
But if you were wrong you would lose €10 for each point worse Ireland did than winning by 6
So if Ireland won 12-9 (won by 3 points) you would lose (6-3) x €10 = Lose €30
If Ireland LOST 25-20 (lost by 5 points) you would lose (6+5) x €10 = Lose €110
