Quick Insight

At the time of writing Unibet had the head to head for the North Melbourne Kangaroos set at $5.75, and $1.13 for the Collingwood Magpies, This sets the bookmakers implied probability for both teams as follows:

Kangaroos 16.42%
Magpies 83.58%

The Betting Edge

This one’s a classic David vs Goliath scenario, but the numbers suggest it might not be quite as lopsided as the bookies think.

Unibet’s got North Melbourne out at $5.75, which translates to an implied probability of just 16.42%. Meanwhile, Collingwood are the heavy favourites at $1.13, or 83.58% implied. But hold up, our analysis gives the Kangaroos a 36.41% chance of knocking off the Magpies, while Collingwood’s actual win likelihood sits at 63.59%.

That’s a massive gap. If our numbers are anywhere close to the mark, North’s true odds should be more like $2.75, not the sky-high $5.75 they’re being offered at right now.

Here’s the kicker: that kind of discrepancy creates a massive value opportunity. Sure, North are underdogs, but they’re nowhere near as far out of it as the market thinks.

North Melbourne are way undervalued, and if our analysis holds up, $5.75 is incredible value for a side that’s much more in the contest than the odds suggest.
