Principles
for successful betting on AFL football
If you have not considered both of these already you
are unlikely to be a long term winner at footy betting,
but we give them in any case. Theoretically there
is no reason why yesterday's loser cannot metamorphosize
into tomorrow's winner, though this rarely occurs
for personality reasons. Readers of this site may
perhaps be more likely to change their losing habits!
- Maximise
your information.
Unless you have good reason to believe the odds
are going to tighten, place your bet as late as
possible. Many things affect the outcome of an AFL
match and such things as the withdrawal of a key
player can occur at any time. The earlier you place
your bet, the less information you have.
- Bet
against the crowd.
Because football is an emotion charged game, many
bets are placed by people as a way of showing tangible
support for a team. Teams with larger followings
will tend to attract more emotional money and therefore
offer shorter odds than they logically should. Conversely,
less popular teams will generally offer better odds.
This means that a disproportionate number of value
bets are likely to be on the underdog, as you go
head to head against the emotional bet.
