Hawthorn Now Firm Favourites In Sportbset AFL Flag Betting

Hawthorn are now flag favourites for the first time since the premiership market opened in early January, firming from $4.00 to $3.75 with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au after their round 1 win last night.

As a result Collingwood have drifted from $3.50 favourites to $4.00, with the Cats next in the market at $5.50.

The Hawks were priced at $6.50 to win the flag when the market first opened, however have been extremely well supported by the punters, with 40% of all premiership betting placed on them.

That included one punter who swooped on the Hawks at $5, placing a $100,000 bet before the NAB Cup.

“It is only logical that they are now the favourites,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson. “All of the money has been for them since the market opened and when you consider how well they placed against Collingwood, they are clearly the team to beat.”
