As Australia’s #1 sports tipping provider for over a decade, we’re here to give you the inside track on Aussie Rules betting. Whether you’re a seasoned punter or just starting out, this comprehensive guide will sharpen your skills and boost your chances of success.
Understanding AFL Betting Markets
Punters Page offers a wide range of AFL tips options to keep you engaged throughout the footy season. Let’s break down the most popular markets:
- Head-to-Head This straightforward bet is perfect for beginners. Simply pick which team you reckon will win the match outright. For example:
Richmond Tigers: $1.65 Essendon Bombers: $2.30
A $100 bet on the favoured Tigers would return $165 if they win, while the same bet on the underdog Bombers would net you $230 if they pull off the upset.
- Line Betting (Handicap) Line betting evens the playing field between mismatched teams, making for more exciting wagering opportunities. The favoured team must win by more than the specified margin for your bet to pay off. For instance:
Geelong Cats -12.5 ($1.90) Adelaide Crows +12.5 ($1.90)
Here, a $100 bet on the Cats only pays if they win by 13 or more points, while Crows backers win if Adelaide either wins outright or loses by 12 or fewer.
- Big Win Little Win This market lets you bet on the winning margin. You can choose whether a team will win by 1-39 points or 40+ points. It’s a great option when you’re confident about a team’s performance but want better odds than the head-to-head market offers.
- Total Points Fancy yourself a scoring expert? Total Points betting lets you wager on the combined score of both teams. Punters Page sets a number, and you decide if the actual total will go over or under. For example:
Cats vs. Crows Total Points: 165.5 Over 165.5 ($1.90) Under 165.5 ($1.90)
- Player Props Show off your player knowledge with prop bets on individual performances. Popular options include:
- Disposals (15+, 20+, 25+, 30+, 35+, 40+)
- Most Disposals Group 1/Group 2
- Over/Under Player Disposals
- Anytime Goalkicker
- 2+, 3+, 4+, 5+, 6+ Goals
- Futures Got a hunch about the next AFL Premiers or Brownlow Medallist? Futures markets let you put your money where your mouth is, with odds available well in advance of the season’s end.

What Happens if a Player in Your Same Game Multi Gets Injured?
