Aussie Rules biggest betting events

When it comes to Aussie Rules, the most highly-anticipated and most prestigious event of all is the Australian Football League (AFL). Initially known as the Victorian Football League (VFL), this event was first conducted in 1896 and is the sport’s only fully professional competition. Currently, the league comprises a total of 18 teams spread over five of six Australian states. The AFL Grand Final has the highest attendance, television audience, and overall interest of any sporting event in Australia.

The Australian Football League For Women (AFLW) is one of the most popular women’s football competitions, not only in Australia, but all over the world. The first season of this AFL-run league was inaugurated in 2017 with eight teams; this number has now expanded to 18 as of 2022.

Outright Bets

Outright bets are the most popular and basic bets you can place on a game of Aussie Rules. Its functionality is quite simple; All you need to do is wager on the team you believe will win a certain competition at the end of the season. This bet type is the most ideal for newcomers since there is no possibility of point spreads.

Most popular bets in Aussie Rules

Total Points Over/Under

This betting market allows players to predict whether the total number of points scored by both teams during a game will be over (higher) or under (lower) a certain figure specified by the bookmaker. Suppose the set value is 54.5; if you anticipate a lower score, you bet on under, while if you predict a higher score, you can wager on over.

Match Handicap

Sportsbooks enforce handicaps to even out the odds between two competing teams, where one is clearly the favourite. The handicap is usually in the form of a points line that gives one side (the underdogs) an advantage and the other side (the favourites) an equal disadvantage. This bet pays out if your chosen team wins the match even after the specified handicap is applied to the final score.

Margin Bets

Margin Bets (or Big Win, Little Win markets) allow bettors to pick a side they think will win by more than a specified number of points. For example, if the margin bracket is 1-24 or 24+, your chosen team must win the match by four goals.
