Bombers & Crows Frim In AFL Flag Premiership Betting

Essendon and Adelaide continue to firm as genuine contenders to win the flag, with the Bombers into $9.00 from $17 and the Crows into $15 from $21 with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

After opening at $31, the Bombers were as long as $79 after their narrow two point victory over the Kangaroos in round one and have shortened every week since.

Similarly, the Crows were given long odds of $34 when the market first opened before drifting out to $51 in late February.

“These teams weren’t given much chance at the start of the year, but with the form they have been in, they now look like real contenders and the market reflects that,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

“Obviously the top teams like Carlton and Hawthorn have taken the majority of bets, but over the last two weeks we have seen some increased betting for the Bombers and Crows with fans seemingly believing they are the real deal.”

Hawthorn still remain as flag favourites, but have drifted from $4.25 to $4.50 and may not remain as favourites after tonight’s match between Carlton and St Kilda, with the Blues currently second favourites at $4.50.
