A Sportingbet punter will collect a massive $148,000 if Fremantle’s Nathan Fyfe kicks the first goal of this afternoon’s AFL grand final.
The punter has had $3,000 on Fyfe to kick the first goal at odds of $21 and another $5,000 on him at $17.
“The punter has form too as he successfully turned $3,000 into $36,000 after backing Hayden Ballantyne to kick the first goal at odds of $12 earlier in the season,” Sportingbet spokesman Andrew Brown said.
The same punter has also had $3,000 on Aaron Sandilands to kick the first goal, at odds of $26 with Sportingbet.
Hawthorn is a $1.68 favourite at Sportingbet with Fremantle the $2.25 outsiders.
“Fremantle has firmed from $2.45 but the momentum is starting to shift back towards the Hawks,” Brown said.
“For every five-figure bet we take for the Dockers, we’re taking 10 for the Hawks,” Brown said.
Sam Mitchell, Luke Hodge and Fyfe are $7 equal favourites at Sportingbet for the Norm Smith medal but there has been a solid push for Brad Sewell.
“Sewell is $15 into $12 for the Norm Smith and has attracted a $1,000 bet and multiple $500 bets over the past 24 hours,” Brown said.
