Money continues to come for Melbourne to win Sunday’s NRL Grand Final with the Storm firming from $1.83 into $1.80 with online bookmaker sportsbet overnight.
Opened at $1.91, the Storm first shortened into $1.83 before getting into their current quote of $1.80 having attracted three times the money and double the wagers to that of Canterbury.
The Bulldogs have now eased out to $2.05 in head to head betting.
“What really stands out is that the Storm winning 13+ continues to be the best supported margin betting option. That has firmed from $5.00 into $4.75,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.
“We’ve also taken eight times the amount of bets on the Storm to cover the line compared to the Bulldogs.”
Sportsbet.com.au will refund punters their first bet on the decider if the final margin is less than six points.
