High-profile players refuse to play ball on AFL betting ads

https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/high-profile-players-refuse-to-play-ball-on-afl-betting-ads-20230228-p5cobo.html

'A number of high-profile AFL players have refused to have their image used by the AFL’s wagering partner, for ethical, reputational or even commercial reasons.
...

By opting “out”, the players will not have their image used by the AFL’s lucrative betting partner, Sportsbet, which is entitled to use their image - in small groups shots and also in footage - to promote or advertise the company’s betting on the AFL.
...

There are other players, according to agents, who have opted out of the wagering promotion because they have had gambling problems in the past.
...

Wagering and AFL industry sources estimated that the Sportsbet (formerly BetEasy) deal was worth $12 million to $13 million a year — potentially enough to cover one of the 18 clubs’ salary cap for players.'

Yes they did both hooper and taranto did play they were terrible

Couple of novelties I'll have a dollar or two on;

Carlton - to miss the 8 @ $2.65.

GWS - top finishing (excludes finals) non Vic team @ $21

Pies - Season wins over 12.5 @ $1.85

Pies - Flag @ $10

Who is offering these novelties?

(Top finishing non-Vic team is a fun one!)

Gotta say, I'm not happy about the teeny weeny number of markets most bookies offer (I'm talking more about Test cricket than AFL).

Thanks, Skids, Jezza.

Should we back Curnow to kick a bag R1 v. Tiggers? Dunno what odds are on offer...

Update:

sb Charlie Curnow Goals
2+ goals: 1.44
3+: 2.35
4+: 4.70
5+: 9.75
6+: 23.00

I recklessly went with Charlie 4+... Of course he went and got 3.

I wouldn't have nibbled if I'd known the whole teams kicked only 8 each!!

If Richmond play like that every week, they are no chance of winning the flag.

[Skids]

I scored a nice 10/1 double last week.

Pies win/JDG 3 goals.

This week; Pies win/Pendles 30+ possessions and kick at least one goal @ $15.
Cox to kick 3+ @ $13

[Skids]

Bit of an omen bet in the last at Geelong today - Silence The Stars. Paying $8.

The Pies are now premiership favourites.

And Nick Daicos is the Brownlow favourite.


Not sure this is a good thing. Don't like it when our boys are overhyped.
