Golden Point (gambling)

Golden Point is a gambling term commonly used in sports betting, particularly in games like rugby. It refers to a special rule that allows a sudden-death scenario where the first team to score during extra time wins the game. In this format, any score—be it a try, goal, or field goal—immediately ends the match, and bets resolve based on the outcome of that single event. This creates high tension and excitement, as the game can turn on a single moment of play, impacting bets placed on the outcome of the match.
