There’s some good looking value in most games this week and I’m going to take a chance at a Multi-Bet with CentreBet who are offering a $50 Free Bet for new clients. That’s a good deal no matter how you look at it!

I think there’s great value for both the Bombers, who are in great form at the moment, and the cellar dweller Demons who’re playing a not-very-impressive Freo. With Palmer and Bell out for Fremantle, they simply don’t have any good midfielders. Pavlich will get them close, but I think Melbourne have shown that they can play some decent football this year and I think they’ll be too good. The tanking subject makes games like this tough to pick, I think it would be silly to bet big on either team, especially the Dockers, whereas there’s definitely value in betting on the Demons. Richmond showed how easy it is to beat a team that’s not trying, but this week they’re playing a team of Bombers who look in great form and I wouldn’t be surprised if the Tigers finished the season in 9th position again this year. The bombers on the other hand, I believe are a real chance to make the 8.

• Multi Bet with Collingwood, Geelong, Hawthorn, Sydney and Adelaide with odds of nearly $8.80
• Essendon to beat Richmond at $2.20
• Melbourne to beat Fremantle at $2.85

Here are the rest of the odds with my tips for this weeks winners in bold.

I’m sure you’re just as keen as I am to have a proper weekend of footy after last week’s split round, so I’ll get straight back into the betting tips for round 15 2008. I do see quite a fair bit of value this week, so I’ve put in one more bet than usual.

The Saints really should be too good for Carlton. The closest the Blues have come to beating St. Kilda in recent years is 10 points in 2007. Earlier this year, the Saints bet them by more than 6 goals, but with Judd coming back in to the side and Carlton playing much better defensively, I think it will be much closer than last time.

The Kangaroos have much more to play for than Port. With Chad Cornes on one leg, one hand, one arm and who knows what else, the Power will struggle to match it with a fiery North Melbourne side, I think the odds should favour the Roos here.

Sydney have had Hawthorn’s measure the last 6 times they’ve met, and with those odds you can’t go past them.

The Tigers odds have blown out thanks to Richo’s hamstring. One (albeit great) man does not make a football team, and the black and yellow should prevail against the “rabble” that West Coast appears to be this year.

Australia’s own Sporting Bet looks to have some very healthy odds this week, and I’ll outline my recommended bets for each game this week.

• St. Kilda by 1 - 39 - $2.40
• Kangaroos by 1 - 39 - $2.45
• Sydney to win - $3.00
• Richmond by 1 - 39 - $2.60

With whatever you choose to have a punt on this week, good luck!
