The Demons are under the pump, but the worst may still be yet to come according to a market set by online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au, tipping there’s a few 100+ drubbings in store this year.
Between 3-4 100+ losses is the favourite at $2.00, with between 5-6 not far behind at $2.50, 0-2 at $4.50 and 7-8 at $6.00.
In good news for Melbourne fans, it looks unlikely the trend will continue all season, with 9 or more 100+ losses the outsider in the market at $21.
The Dees have firmed from $3.50 to $2.25 to claim the wooden spoon.
“It’s been an ordinary start to the year for the Demons, but our market suggests it won’t be getting better any time soon. Money is still flying in for them to be wooden spooners and there is more money for them to finish last than every other team put together,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.
