If you’re not familiar with the rules of Aussie Rules, the scorelines might confuse you at first, since it’s not like the scores we’re used to seeing in South Africa. And yet, South Africans love to bet on it. YesPlay has Aussie Rules available under the Sports section and believe it or not, the numbers you see aren’t random. There are patterns, and there are some myths that you should ignore.
Is AFL random?
Myth: “These okes just kick the ball anywhere, it is pure chaos, you cannot read it.”
Reality: Aussie Rules might seem a bit wild, but the markets on YesPlay are built around league trends, team style and ground size. Go to the Aussie Rules prematch page and you’ll see the Match Winner, Totals, and Handicap lines for each fixture, plus an option for extra markets. You can find the page at https://yesplay.bet/sports/prematch/aussie-rules. Now, all you need to do is to pick the match you’re most interested in. Start small! A single bet for R29 with odds of 2.12 on a handicap that you understand will teach you more than a big multi bet on something you don’t really know anything about.
Only back favourites?
Myth: “These Aussie teams are just too different from one another. It’s easy money to just include short prices in one bet.”
Reality: Okay, while it’s true that some clubs are much stronger than others, betting on three or four sides at 1.20 is almost a surefire way to lose your money. If you have huge lines on the handicap, that means that market is already expecting the underdog to lose. At the end of the day, Aussie Rules is just another game, and you should always keep your stakes at a level where you can laugh off a loss.
