AFL Premiership Betting Options
AFL premiership betting revolves around trying to find the winner of the Grand Final at the end of the season.
These markets are popular with AFL punters throughout the year as the favourite can change drastically as teams win and lose throughout the season. A team who puts consecutive wins together and gets on a ‘hot’ streak can see their odds reduce drastically.
Another market that is popular with punters on Grand final day is the Norm Smith medal. This award is given to the player who is judged by an independent panel of football experts to be best on ground in the AFL Grand Final. Norm smith was a famous Melbourne football identity and was one of the inaugural inductees into the Australian Football Hall of Fame in 1996.
