Carlton Well Backed To Beat Collingwood In Round 3 AFL Betting

The prices may indicate that it will be a close game but punters don’t agree, with more than six times the money placed on Carlton than Collingwood for Friday night’s blockbuster with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

With both teams opening at $1.90, Carlton are currently priced at $1.82, while Collingwood are outsiders at $2.00.

Despite a close game expected, Carlton have clearly been the best backed team of the round to date, including one bet of $8,000 at $1.85.

“There isn’t a massive difference in their prices but the punters have spoken loud and clear that the Blues deserve to be favourites in the big match,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

“If the money continues to come at this rate they will start even shorter by the first bounce.”

This trend follows last week’s betting where the Blues were once again easily the best backed team, including one bet of $67,000 on Carlton to beat the Brisbane Lions at $1.35, returning a win of over $23,000 to the punter.
