Australian Rules Betting Odds

Looking to place your first Aussie Rules bet online? Make talkSPORT BET your home for the best Australian Rules odds throughout the AFL season.

You can bet on individual AFL matches or even look ahead to the outright market and bet on the likely winner of this year’s AFL Grand Final – the choice is yours.

• Highly competitive competition - The AFL adopts a similar recruitment model to America’s NFL, with a draft system and salary caps to try and keep the playing field as level as possible.
• A fun sport to bet on during football’s close season - The typical Aussie Rules season runs from April through to September, covering most of the summer months when Europe’s leading football leagues are in the close season.
• Unique game dynamics - Aussie Rules football betting has a unique set of rules and dynamics that offer a different betting experience to other sports.

There are several popular markets for Aussie Rules betting odds, covering pre-game and in-play Aussie Rules betting opportunities, including:

Head to Head

The head-to-head Aussie Rules market is similar to the NFL’s Moneyline market. Just bet on the eventual outright winner of your chosen match. If you pick the winner in a head-to-head market, you’ll win regardless of the margin of victory.

Line

Similar to the NFL’s point spread market, line betting in the AFL is popular among Aussie Rules bettors looking for better value on pre-game favourites who can cover any pre-game points deficit against an underdog.

Premiership Winner

If you’re an outright bettor, the Premiership Winner market will be your bread and butter in the AFL. Just bet on the team you think will win the AFL Grand Final, the equivalent of the NFL’s Super Bowl.

If you are new to Aussie Rules betting, let’s run through a couple of scenarios to make the Aussie Rules betting odds clearer for you:

Let’s say that you fancy Port Adelaide to beat Geelong. Port Adelaide is currently available at a price of 4/6 in the Head-to-Head market. If you bet £10 on them to win – and they do – you’ll win £6.67, plus your stake back.

You might also think Port Adelaide will win the game by a comfortable margin. In the Line market, they are evens to win (-10.5) on the points line. This means if you bet £10 and they win by 11 points or more, you’ll win. If they win by ten points or less, you’ll lose.

Looking for the inside track on the AFL before you get started? Here are a few Aussie Rules betting tips to get you thinking:

• If you plan to watch most of the AFL season, consider betting on the Brownlow Medal market. This player is awarded the medal at the end of the season for being the best and fairest player in the league.
• If you enter the prop betting markets for Aussie Rules, don’t follow the crowd. Look for players who may be undervalued when it comes to anything from disposals to points scored.
• Manage your Aussies Rules betting bankroll responsibly. Only bet with what you can afford to lose.
