Only 53% of punters in Western Australia are backing Fremantle to win the AFL grand final, according to data from Sportingbet Australia.
Fremantle is most popular with Northern Territory residents, where 92% of the money wagered on the Grand Final since the two finalists were confirmed has been for the Dockers to beat Hawthorn.
New South Wales is the state most certain of a Hawthorn victory on Saturday, with nearly 98% of money wagered from that State for the Hawks.
74% of money wagered from Victorian residents is for Hawthorn.
“Hawthorn is a $1.68 favourite so you would expect them to attract around 60% of the money at those odds,” Sportingbet Australia spokesman Andrew Brown said.
“While significantly more WA punters are backing the Dockers compared to Victorian punters, the state is still very much divided over which team will win,” Brown said.
Fremantle is $2.25 at Sportingbet and a draw is $31.
Sportingbet expects to hold close to $5 million dollars across all of its AFL grand final markets.
“One of our punters has invested $4170 in 10 separate bets on Fremantle throughout the season and he stands to collect exactly $50,000 if the Dockers get up,”
