There’s no huge amount of sources as well, because Australian Rules Football is only played in Australia,\u201d said Shell, an Australian native now based in PointsBet\u2019s Denver office. \u201cThe pricing’s done only in that country. As opposed to most other sports, you can find comparative sources all around the world.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The lack of fan support may also make an impact on the teams, especially in the early games, Shell said. The 100,000-seat MCG is Richmond\u2019s home turf, and it has a large passionate group of supporters. Without them in attendance Thursday, that could have an impact on the team.<\/p>\n
Among the other tips Shell offers is to look at their preseason results. In Carlton\u2019s last game, the Blues scored the first goals before giving up 16 of the next 22 scored in a 111-66 loss to Brisbane. The Tigers, meanwhile, fell to the Greater Western Sydney (GWS) Giants 109-95 in a rematch of last year\u2019s Grand Final \u2013 the Super Bowl of Aussie Rules.<\/p>\n
Tigers Favored to Repeat<\/h2>\n Besides standard betting opportunities, PointsBet also offers futures betting on both the Premiership, or winner of the Grand Final, and the Minor Premiership, or the regular season champion.<\/p>\n
At +375, the Tigers are the favorites to win the Premiership, with the West Coast Eagles the second choice at +450. Both teams are co-favorites to win the regular-season title at +300 each.<\/p>\n
GWS has +800 odds to win the minor premiership and +650 to win the championship. The Collingwood Magpies have +650 odds to win the premiership and +800 to win the regular season.<\/p>\n
With few other sports available right now, Peters told Casino.org<\/em> there\u2019s an opportunity to grow the betting market for Australia’s<\/a> favorite sport here in the states.<\/p>\n\u201cThe beauty of Aussie Rules, for people that haven’t watched it before, is that it is very, very exciting, high-scoring. There’s not many stoppages,\u201d he said. \u201cSo, it’s definitely a sport we want to get people more exposed to.\u201d<\/p>\n
