Punters with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au are in disagreement with the bookie about the outcome of Sunday’s NRL Grand Final with 55% of total money wagered backing a Sharks upset.
[sportsbetiffer]
- Cronulla Sharks continue to be the best backed team going into Sunday’s Grand Final with 55% of wagers.
- Melbourne Storm remain favourites though at $1.85 to the $2.00 on offer for the Sharks.
- Largest bet placed is $15,000 on the Sharks compared to a $6,100 wager on the Storm.
The bookie has Cronulla as the $2.00 outsiders and make the Melbourne Storm the $1.85 favourites despite the weight of money continuously supporting the men from the Shire.
One confident punter has placed a $15,000 wager on the Sharks ending their Premiership drought while the largest bet on the Storm is almost half that amount for $6,100.
The competition to win the Clive Churchill Medal is really dividing opinion with Cameron Smith ($5.50) slightly attracting more money than favourite Cooper Cronk ($5.00) while James Maloney ($7.50) is also in the mix.
“The punters are coming out in strong support for the Sharks but we’re pretty confident that Melbourne have the slight edge in what should be the closest of Grand Finals,’’ said sportsbet.com.au’s Will Byrne.
