Sportsbet.com.au reports strong money for Carlton in the opening match of the season and for Collingwood to win back to back premierships.
“More than 90 percent of bets on the opening match have been on Carlton,” sportsbet.com.au’s Haydn Lane said.
“Collingwood have been well supported over the summer and are $2.75 favourites to win this year’s premiership, while Gold Coast are $2.10 favourites to win the wooden spoon in their inaugural season.”
For the first round of the AFL season, sportsbet.com.au is offering $2.00 either side of the ‘line’, which sees the favourite given a handicap and the underdog given a head start in each match. Normally, line markets are priced at roughly $1.92 each side of the line.
