Grand Final Day

Whether you’re an Aussie Rules or a Rugby League devotee Grand Final Day doesn’t get any better. It is the day on the calendar that tells us that winter is a distant memory, and that the spring racing carnival and a long hot summer are just around the corner. Most importantly thought there is one last game of footy to decide which team will have their name engraved on the Cup. Get your mates over, fire up the barbie and let the beer flow as this is one of the great Aussie traditions. Excited yet? It’s actually not that long away!

The other great Aussie tradition is having a punt of the footy and there is no better place for that than 888sport. The problem is that by Grand Final Day there are only two teams left and if you’re the sort of punter that likes to get a good price then you need to get your bets on now. 888sport.com allows you to pick the winner of the AFL and NRL right now while you can still get some good value.

In the AFL you can get $2.37 about the Geelong Cats and $2.75 about the St Kilda Saints. Imagine how short both of these will be if they make the Grand Final come that last Saturday in September. The other team given a good chance are the Western Bulldogs that represent great value at $7.00. Any other team you like is paying better than 10/1 so what are you waiting for.

The NRL is even better value with no standout teams. The St George Dragons ($3.50) and the Bulldogs ($4.00) appear to be the most favoured Sydney teams in a very wide betting market. The team I think is fantastic value is the Melbourne Storm paying a very juicy $7.00.
