The Sydney Swans have firmed from $8.00 into $6.00 with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au to win the 2012 AFL Premiership but they’re yet to capture the attention of punters.
Despite leading the competition, six other sides have attracted more bets to win the Premiership than the Swans.
Hawthorn remains favourite at $3.25, while Collingwood has firmed from $4.25 into $4.00 after defeating Geelong.
West Coast have eased from $6.00 out to $7.50 after being trounced by the Swans, while Adelaide have firmed from $10 into $8.00.
“The Swans have been entrenched in the top four for most of the season but punters have steered clear of them to this point,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.
“That might be set to change as they’re in great form and were irresistible against the Eagles.”
In wooden spoon betting, GWS have firmed into $1.12 with the Gold Coast drifting from $2.40 out to $6.00.
