Market Mechanics

Australian Rules Football (AFL) is a high-variance sport with unique scoring mechanics (6 points for a Goal, 1 point for a Behind). Successful betting requires understanding how these mechanics influence Line Variance and Total Points markets.

Head-to-Head (Moneyline)

The purest form of market entry. You are simply capitalizing on the win probability of a specific team. Draws are rare (~1%) but possible.

> Collingwood: $1.80 (-125)
> Richmond: $2.10 (+110)
// $100 on Richmond returns $210 Total

Line (Handicap)

The "Great Equalizer." Bookmakers assign a point handicap to level the playing field. This is where sharp bettors find the most edge.

> Geelong Cats: -10.5 ($1.90)
> Sydney Swans: +10.5 ($1.90)
// Sydney wins if they lose by < 11

Total Points (Over/Under)

A derivative of pace, weather, and efficiency. You wager on the combined score.
Key Variable: Weather conditions (Rain drastically reduces totals).

System FAQ

What is a "Push" in AFL Head-to-Head?

A push occurs in a draw if the bookmaker does not offer a "Draw" option. Your stake is refunded.

Does weather affect AFL Totals?

Significantly. Rain makes the ball slippery, reducing marking efficiency. This creates a strong correlation with the "Under".
