FOOTYHEADS VALUE BET OF THE WEEK - ROUND 14 (PART TWO)
ON the eve of the second half of this week’s split round of AFL football, FOOTYHEADS’ intrepid team of tipsters cast their eye across the market to bring you their weekly “Footyheads Value Bet of the Week” with thanks to our friends at Sportsbet.
Over to you guys…
‘HANDSOME’ ANDREW LOWTHER SAYS: “No time for talk, I’ve got to get back on track. I’ll take the Pies to continue their winning streak against the Swans. $10 on Collingwood to win by +15.5 points at $3.70 in a Tri Bet.”
‘STONE COLD’ STEVE BAKER SAYS: “Not happy with this split round idea, folks. I know it’s been on the landscape for a few years now, but no AFL matches in ol’ Melbourne town in the guts of winter is just plain wrong.
As a rule, I tend to stay away from horses who are resuming from a spell, and I think this applies equally to football teams. On paper, you’d say that Geelong are a moral at Football Park, but the Crows are often impressive off the break. Likewise, Sydney have been awfully rusty off their mid-season spell in recent seasons, and the Magpies have had Sydney’s measure in recent times. But, as the classic book title goes, that was then, this is now.
I’m expecting both favourites to salute but won’t be surprised at all if Sydney and Geelong stumble. Looking beyond the head-to-head odds, there’s value in Sportsbet’s margin betting markets. I’ll take $5 on Collingwood to win by between 1-39 points at $3.30 and $5 on Geelong to beat Adelaide by the same margin at $2.20.”
CHRIS ‘THE BOSS’ GRANT SAYS: “Good afternoon Handsome, afternoon Stone Cold. Looks like we all rate the ‘Pies as a chance tomorrow night.
I’ll also take Collingwood in a margin bet. I think that the Magpies will continue their streak over the Swannies and the Sportsbet odds of $5 for a Collingwood win by between 1-19 points is too hard to ignore. Here’s a nice, new, crisp, tenner on the ‘Pies.”
