A Tri Bet essentially splits the outcome of a line bet into three outcomes instead of two.</p> <p>The biggest distinction between a Tri Bet and other forms of margin betting is that one of the three outcomes allows you to pick either side to win the match by a preset margin.</p> <p>That means when placing a Tri Bet you have three options. Team A by the allotted margin, Team B by the same margin or either team by another preset margin.</p> <p>There are now multiple different Tri Bet margins available across both NRL and AFL matches. This allows you to pick different margins for your Tri Bets based on how evenly matched you feel the two teams are.</p> <p>As mentioned, Tri Bets are most popular across both AFL and NRL, so let’s take an example of a Tri Bet for each code, shall we?</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>NRL Tri Bet</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>For this example of a Rugby League or NRL Tri Bet let’s look at a match between the Melbourne Storm and the Brisbane Broncos.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>NRL Tri Bet Example</h3> <p>The standard Tri Bet for this game has the following three outcomes:</p> <p>-&nbsp; Melbourne Storm -6.5</p> <p>-&nbsp; Either team by 6 or less.</p> <p>-&nbsp; Brisbane Broncos -6.5</p> <p>The odds for each of these outcomes differ based on how likely they are deemed to happen. In this example Melbourne -6.5 is at the shortest price, while Brisbane -6.5 is at the longest odds and either team by 6 or less is somewhere in the middle.</p> <p>As previously mentioned, there are additional Tri Bet margins to choose from, such as: -2.5, -4.5, -8.5, -10.5, -12.5, simply choose the one you want.</p> <p>If you want to learn more about Betting on the NRL then read our <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/punter-iq/guide/hot-to-bet-on-nrl">NRL Betting Guide</a>.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>AFL Tri Bet</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Now let's take a look at an AFL Tri Bet.

Here are some of them: -19.5, -24.5, -39.5.</p> <p>If you want to learn more about Punting on the AFL then read our <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/punter-iq/guide/afl-betting-guide">AFL Betting Guide</a>.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>NBL &amp; NBA Tri Bet</h3> <p>But what about an NBL or NBA Tri Bet?
