Five must have bookie accounts for AFL punters

Australian Rules Football is, without doubt, one of the best sports in the world to watch and bet on. Hence why we’ve developed our proprietary AFL Betting Model to take advantage of the markets available. Below are the five bookmaker accounts we recommend all AFL punters have to help maximize profits.

Shopping for the best price is one of the easiest things a punter can do to maximize profitability. However, not all bookmakers will let you get your full stake on at the best price.

We’ve ranked our top five AFL bookmakers based on the following factors.

• High limits: IE will the bookie take a decent bet on gameday
• Low commission/vig: How much value in terms of overround or percentage that is returned to the punter
• Reliability: Ensuring that your funds will be safe and you’ll be paid out a winner when you should be!
• Range of markets: Bookmakers that go far beyond the standard Line, H2H and Totals markets.

So without further ado, here’s our list of the top five bookmaker accounts all AFL punters should have!

1. Pinnacle

   While they are still accepting Aussie customers there is no doubt Pinnacle remain the number one bookie to have for AFL. High limits, no closure of accounts or hard restrictions and of course their famous low margin products. Their offering isn’t as broad as other operators but they cover all of the main markets our AFL Model covers and are so often the best price!

   Click to join Pinnacle and take advantage of their low vig and high limits.

2. Betfair

   Punter vs punter on Australia’s only betting exchange. Competitive commission rates (only paid on winning bets) and the ability to ‘request’ the price you want and let the market decide whether they will match it. Certainly doesn’t have the product range of a Sportsbet or Crownbet but a great bookie to have if you are playing in the main AFL markets.

3. Topsport

   These guys have a great reputation for being old school bookies who are happy to take a bet from everyone. Especially on the major markets. Australian owned an operated company who also have extremely competitive lines (including their $2 line promotion). They also have integrated a player props service that is rather extensive.
