Betting on Australian Rules Football has boomed over the last few years and the number of AFL betting sites and betting apps has massively increased in recent years. Whether you are an AFL betting expert or a Footy Betting rookie, it is almost impossible to keep up with which of the sites will offer the best AFL odds and betting markets will best suit your individual style.
BettingTop10 can assist you in narrowing down the available choices. As avid sports bettors ourselves, we analyse all the best online betting sites and betting apps available in Australia. Our reviews of the betting sites are all subject to a range of stringent passing criteria, and as a result, we recommend only top-notch sites and apps for you to enjoy. These reviews only recommend the best online bookies that are honest, safe and secure, offer a range of AFL markets at great odds and comfortable payment methods, boast clear and mobile-enhanced site design and exceptional customer-focused site user experience.
Take a look through our reviews and should you still require more info before you make your final AFL betting site choices, consider these additional tips;
1. We recommend joining more than one online bookie. The best odds can sometimes pop up on a different range of AFL betting sites, so if you’re signed up with a selection of sites, you’ll never miss out on the best odds available.
Comparing and contrasting the odds yourself will give you a keen eye and you’ll soon developer into an expert yourself by analysing which sites will give you the best deals you require to maximise your Footy Betting returns.
2. A note for Beginners, each online betting site has a self-selection tool to set yourself session, daily, weekly and monthly spending limits. Worst case scenario, you can even self-exclude yourself if you feel that your spending is getting a little out of control.
Use the spend limiting tools available and pay your rent and buy your groceries before you sit down to bet on AFL games. Never bet with money you don’t have. To think about your Australian Rules Football betting as an entertainment expense is perhaps the best first step to make.
3. Head to your online bookmaker’s AFL section. Check out the wide selection of different betting markets and odds available for the upcoming matches. You’ll also notice AFL Live odds, betting specials featured for select matches and also futures markets such as AFL Premiership, season winner’s odds or even on your favourite players chances to win the Brownlow Medal (we will explain futures and special later in this AFL betting guide).
Most, (if not all) of BettingTop10’s recommended sites will have the betting market you are searching for. Compare the odds offered for any game and you’ll soon notice that the odds can differ wildly across different online bookies.
For example, looking at the Adelaide Crows vs Geelong Cats match in Round 1 2021, Bet365 offer $4.20 for the Crows to upset the Cats, while you will receive only $4.00 at Boombet and PlayUp respectively.
In this scenario, if you were betting $100 on the Crows to upset the Cats, you would potentially win $20 more at Bet365 than punting with PlayUp or PlayUp if Adelaide were to get up for the win.
In short, give yourself the best opportunity to secure AFL best bets and maximize your opportunity to get the best footy odds for each match.
4. Only quality online betting sites have a range of footy betting specials betting markets like the Brownlow Medal Winner, AFL Top 4 and Top 8 markets or even something as specific as the Norm Smith Medal for best on-ground in the Grand Final, or even AFL All Australian Betting at season’s end.
5. The best AFL betting sites have weekly form blogs that cover all the match results, player injury updates and betting tips for the upcoming matches. The betting site weekly blogs work well to complement to BettingTop10’s own weekly impartial betting tips, odds and previews. Be sure to watch out for the AFL Grand Final Preview that we offer before the big game each season.
