Opened as the $2.05 outsider, punters with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au have backed Saturday night’s blockbuster rugby league clash between Canterbury and South Sydney at ANZ Stadium into the $1.60 favourite to have a bigger crowd than Friday night’s AFL clash between the Swans and Collingwood at the same ground.
As a result, the AFL match has drifted from $1.75 out to $2.25.
“94 percent of money wagered on the market has been for the rugby league match to have a bigger crowd,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.
“In a two horse race that makes for ominous reading for the one they aren’t backing.”
