Popular AFL Betting Markets at Sportsbet
Our Aussie Rules coverage includes 20+ markets per game. Let’s take the clash between the Adelaide Crows and Carlton in Round 5 as an example. Sportsbet AFL odds can be found in these markets:
- H2H – Betting on which team will win an upcoming or ongoing AFL game.
- Winning margin – The margin of victory. For example, North Melbourne by 17.5 points.
- Line – We make things equal between the favourite and the underdog by introducing a margin. e.g., Essendon to beat Melbourne at +20.5 points.
- Big win little win – 1% of AFL games end in a draw. Therefore, many of our customers bet on the margin of victory being 1 to 39 points or 40+ points.
- Medals – Bet on players in Brownlow odds Sportsbet and other individual player awards.
We must shout out our “Same Game Multi” feature, which lets you add multiple picks from the same game. For example, Carlton to win and a 40+ points winning margin. We deliver all the information you will need to analyse odds at Sportsbet, including season results, the last 5 head-to-head scores, the AFL ladder, and average points. Our “Futures” page allows you to bet on everything from which teams will finish in the top 4 to who will be the last undefeated team.
