Why Should AFL Betting Odds be Limited?

The AFL betting odds that are placed on specific kind of bets varies across the bets. These AFL betting odds are indicated in the betting websites against each of the bets. Obviously, these change with each game and depend on the performance and the market information that is available.

There are some people who feel that there are some types of AFL betting odds that need to be limited. The main one that has come into light is the first goal scorer AFL betting odds. The reasons for it are simple. Insider information allows punters to get information about the first goal. And this inside information can be bought at great prices because the AFL betting odds for the first goal can sometimes be as high as 200:1.

When punters know that they shall be able to recover this cost and much more, getting insider information is a cinch if you know whom to ask.

In addition to the fact that insider information is obtained by punters, there is another threat. Some of the players can lose their AFL betting odds as they come plummeting down due to leaks in such information. Some players have had to go from odds of 200:1 to 40:1 in a matter of a single game.

The Australian Football League managers feel that banning betting on first goal completely is not a preferred option. Therefore the AFL betting odds on the first goal have now been limited to a manageable ratio. This restriction is currently applicable only on home and away games and not the finals.
