Collingwood’s shock defeat of Richmond in tonight’s preliminary final has seen their odds to win the flag with Sportsbet dramatically firm from $5.50 into favouritism at $1.72.
The punters didn’t see the Pies win coming, Richmond attracted nearly three times the amount of money and double the number of individual bets.
Melbourne are a $3.85 chance to be victorious in next week’s Grand Final, with West Coast at the back of the pack at $4.25.
“Richmond have been the favourites all year so to see them pipped at the post came as a shock to many. Collingwood were on fire tonight so they’re now the favourites for the flag,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Ella Zampatti.
