Current Best 2008 AFL Brownlow Medal Betting Odds

We’re a third way through the 2008 season, and there’s still some great odds to be had if you want to get in early on the Brownlow betting market. Last years winner, Jimmy “Total Footballer” Bartel and gun teammate Gary Ablett Jnr. both have a very good chance of polling the top 3 votes this year with Geelong continuing their dominant form this year, and I’d say they’re worth the punt with odds over $3 for the place.

Here’s the top picks for both Win & Place betting (where available) from my 3 favourite Aussie online betting sites, with the best odds for that player indicated in bold.

Player Name (Team) IAS Bet
(Win / Place)
Sporting Bet
(Win Only)
Centre Bet
(Win / Place)
Adam Cooney (Bulldogs) $6.50 / $2.37 $7.50 $7 / $2.50
Sam Mitchell (Hawks) $7.50 / $2.62 $8 $7 / $2.50
Gary Ablett Jnr. (Cats) $10 / $3.25 $11 $9 / $3
Jimmy Bartel (Cats) $10 / $3.25 $8 $11 / $3.50
Brent Harvery (Kangas) $10 / $3.25 $11 $8 / $2.75
Matthew Richardson (Tigers) $10 / $3.25 $17 $11 / $3.50
Lance Franklin (Hawks) $12 / $3.75 $11 $11 / $3.50
Joel Corey (Cats) $12 / $3.75 $13 $13 / $4
Simon Black (Lions) $13 / $4 $17 $11 / $3.50
Chris Judd (Blues) $17 / $5 $11 $13 / $4

It looks like Sporting Bet currently has the best odds for the outright win, but unfortunately they don’t offer Place or Each Way odds. IAS Bet is leading the race for place betting, offering some very nice odds early in the season, and some extremely juicy odds for Chris Judd to poll the most votes this year. If he can get over his groin injury in the latter half of the season, odds of $17 is very, very good for someone who can dominate games from an umpires perspective.
