Quick Insight

At the time of writing Unibet had the head to head for the Geelong Cats set at $1.78, and $2.00 for the Western Bulldogs, This sets the bookmakers implied probability for both teams as follows:

Geelong

52.91%
Bulldogs

47.09%

 

The Betting Edge

According to the bookies, Geelong are the slight favourites with an implied probability of 52.91%, while the Western Bulldogs sit at 47.09%. But based on our own analysis, Geelong only have a 45.11% chance of winning, while the Dogs actually have the edge with a 54.89% chance of getting up.

That shift in the numbers means there’s some tasty value to be had on the Western Bulldogs. If our read on this is right, the true odds for the Bulldogs should be around $1.82, but the bookies are giving us $2.00!

So what’s the play? Well, that edge is all about the Bulldogs being underrated by the market. Backing the Dogs at $2.00 gives us a decent value punt, since we reckon their actual chances of winning are better than what the bookies are offering.

The Bulldogs are more likely to win than the odds suggest, and that opens the door for a value bet on the Dogs at $2.00.
