Having already won two Anzac Day medals, unsurprisingly punters have shown early support for Scott Pendlebury to win the best on ground medal again, the best backed player and equal $6.50 favourite with online bookmaker sportsbet.
$500 ANZAC DAY ESSENDON VS COLLINGWOOD FREE BET
Ball magnets Dane Swan and Jobe Watson are also favourites at $6.50 while after a dominate game last week, Travis Cloke is next in the market at $10.
In his first ever Anzac Day match, Brendon Goddard is $14 along with Steele Sidebottom, with young gun Dyson Heppell also given some hope at $15.
There has also been some support for Quinten Lynch as an outsider at $51.
“Pendlebury has a history of performing in the big games so it’s not surprising he has been the best backed player. For someone who has already won it twice, $6.50 could be value!” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.
In match betting, Collingwood have continued to firm from $1.72 to $1.67 while Essendon are out from $2.10 to $2.20.
In good news for punters, if one player gets off the chain and kicks a bag of goals, sportsbet.com.au will refund all losing first bets on the match if any player kicks over four goals!
