Australian Rules Football, or just footy as they call it down under, is a fast-moving, competitive sport played by two teams of 18 on a cricket pitch (yes, a cricket pitch!). In Aussie Rules, players move the oval-shaped ball down the field both by kicking it, punting it with their hands, and running with it – although you’ve got to bounce it every 16 yards.
Teams score by kicking the ball between the middle two of four posts (6 points), or by hitting the posts or kicking the ball between the outer posts (1 point). All this whilst the players are getting hit with the type of tackles that would make an NFL fan wince.
Aussie Rules is a sport that’s hard not to fall in love with. We certainly have at Parimatch, and you can count on us to bring you an unbeatable array of Australian Rules Football betting markets and competitive odds.
Aussie Rules looks like what happens when someone takes all the best parts of various ball games and crams them together. You’ve got the tactics of football, the end-to-end pace of basketball, and the crunching tackles of rugby, although without the pads. It’s frenetic, it’s volatile, it’s a joy to watch, and it’s exciting to bet on.
The Australian Football League (AFL) is the sport’s professional division and features 18 teams from five of Australia's six states (no Tasmania). Each team plays each other home and away, and the winner of the league is awarded the ‘Minor Premiership’. The top 8 teams then go into a four-round play-off, with the winner crowned the ‘Premier’ and taking home the Premiership Cup.
At Parimatch you’ll find all the markets you need to bet on Aussie Rules and the latest Australian Rules Football odds. You can take Outright positions on league placements, on the Minor Premiership winner, Grand Final winner, and more. You can place bets on the results of each round of matches, on scores, on margins, and you can even bet In-Play on markets like first goal kicker and quarter-time scores.
You can rely on Parimatch to have all the Aussie Rules markets and competitive odds you’re looking for.
The beauty of Aussie Rules Football, besides the skill and action, is that the AFL is wide open. You’ve got the historically dominant clubs, like Hawthorn and Collingwood, but 12 different teams have won the Premiership Cup in the last 20 years.
This season, this is Aussie Rules, so it’s anyone’s to win. Maybe you fancy Hawthorn to return to dominance, or you’ve got your eye on an outsider like the Gold Coast Suns? Either way, we’ll have the markets and Aussie Rules odds you’re looking for.
Aussie Rules is fast, aggressive, and entertaining. It’s no wonder it’s the most watched sport in Australia and one of the best attended sports in the world.
