Top Aussie Rules betting markets – hints by Tim Harrison for Paddock Magazine

Also known as Australian football, Aussie rules is a big sport across Australia, ranking as one of the most popular sports in the country. With 18 players from each team trying to outscore the other team, the sport ensures a lot of contact to ensure emotions fly around, especially from the fans.

However, the fun doesn’t end there, as fans also try to earn from the sport. Thanks to the various betting platforms across Australia, fans can place bets on Aussie rules.

To help you get the best out of your Aussie rules bets, Paddock Magazine spoke to Tim Harrison, a betting expert from BetZillion, who has given insights about the top betting markets to wager on in the Aussie rules.

Aussie Rules Betting Markets

Various betting markets are available for wagers in Aussie rules, and bettors can explore any that is comfortable for them. Below are some of the Aussie rules betting markets you can take advantage of.

Match Winner

The first betting market that almost everyone is familiar with is the Match Winner betting market. Here, you need to predict who will win a game, whether the home or away team.

Usually, this betting market doesn’t allow for a draw because games rarely end in a draw in Aussie rules. In the case a draw happens, the bookmaker will refund your stakes.

For instance, you may need to predict the winner of a game between the Geelong Cats and the Sydney Swans. If you wager on the Geelong Cats, the home side, you can only get returns on your bet if the Cats win the game. Once the Swans win, then you will lose the wager.

Here is how a game between the Geelong Cats and the Sydney Swans can go:

Overall Points

Also known as the Total Points market, here you can predict the range of the total points in a game. Since a goal is 6 points, and “Behind” is 1 point, there are typically between 150 to 200 points in a single game. So, it would help if you predicted according to what a bookmaker has set.

Usually, the bookmaker would set a mark like 157.5 points, and you have to predict whether both teams will score over or under 157.5 points combined in the game.

The advantage of this betting market is that you don’t have to predict who will win the game because your only concern is the number of points both teams will score combined.

Here is an example of the overall points betting markets as predicting an over 157.5 points in the game between the Adelaide Crows and the Fremantle in the match below will win you your bet:

Handicap Betting Market

The betting platforms give advantages to a specific team by giving them handicaps. Each team will have a head-start or deficit that they need to beat.

A bookmaker marks Melbourne -6.5 against the Western Bulldogs. It means Melbourne must beat the Western Bulldogs by 7 points and above for your bet to win. On the other hand, the bookmaker may mark the Western Bulldogs will end up in a win if they don’t lose with 12 points.

Ante-Post Betting Market

With the ante-post betting market, you will bet on the team you think will win a championship or league competition. Usually, this betting market is always available before the start of the tournament or season, allowing you to place your wagers.

The advantage of wagering on this betting market is that the odds are usually big, allowing you to get more payouts. However, you may need to wait until the end of the season to confirm whether your bet is correct.

For instance, Melbourne won the AFL Grand Final in 2021. You can watch their triumph.
