Although Australia Rules football is synonymous with the land Down Under, it’s also enduringly popular in Ireland.

In fact, Ireland’s national team have won two of the six Australian Football International Cups that have been contested, while finishing runners-up to Papua New Guinea in 2014.

Australian Rules football betting is also popular on the Emerald Isle, particularly during tournaments such as the AFL and the Aussie Rules Football League of Ireland. But what are the most effective AFL betting system and strategy ideas, and which sports betting terms are synonymous with the discipline?

Australian Rules Football Betting Odds

At Betiton, you can use our Australian Rules football betting odds to calculate the potential return on your stake. We present these odds in decimal format, which feature single numbers to two decimal places and relay how much you’ll win for every €1 wagered (inclusive of your stake).

You’ll also find an odds widget in the top right-hand corner of the sportsbook. This enables you to view odds in either fractional or American formats, depending on which one you’re more comfortable with.

You can also leverage AFL betting odds to calculate the implied probability of specific outcomes occurring. This may help you to make more informed selections and set optimal stake amounts.

Australian Rules Football Betting Markets

When engaging in AFL betting, there’s also a broad selection of wager types available. Here’s our summary of the most popular Australian Rules football betting markets:

Outright Betting

Outright betting enables you to pick the winner of a particular league or competition. For example, you can now pick the winner of the 2025 AFL Grand Final, or the team that you think will top the Premiership during the regular season. This is one of the most popular ways of betting on the AFL.

Moneylines

This is another straightforward betting market, and one that requires you to predict the winner of a particular AFL or the Australian Rules Football League of Ireland match. This market is especially popular due to the relative lack of draws, as just 47 of the 5,647 AFL games played between 1990 and 2023 (0.83%) ended in a tie.

Line Betting or Handicapping

Handicapping is another popular Australian Rules football betting market. Also referred to as spread or line betting, this allows you to ascribe a points handicap to a heavy betting favourite, typically at enhanced odds. For example, you may have backed the Leeside Lions AFL to defeat the South Dublin Swans in the 2024 Australian Rules Football League of Ireland Grand Final with a handicap of -18.5 points. They ultimately prevailed by 37 points, beating the spread and triggering an enhanced payout in the process.

Winner of the Brownlow Medal Award

The Brownlow Medal is awarded to the ‘best and fairest’ player in the AFL, with this annual prize having been won by Patrick Cripps of Carlton at the end of the 2024 season. Here at Betiton, you can wager on the identity of the winner in 2025 too, creating an outright player market that unlocks highly competitive odds.

AFL (Ireland) Fixtures & Format

The 2024 Australian Rules Football League of Ireland saw three men’s teams compete during the regular season. The AFL Ireland fixtures required these sides to play each other three times, with the franchises that accumulated the most points (the Leeside Lions and the South Dublin Swans) subsequently progressing to the Grand Final in Mountmellick, Laois on September 7th.

The women’s competition adopted the same format, with the Cork Vikings, the South Dublin Swans and Galway Magpies each meeting on three separate occasions during the regular season.

It was Cork (24 points) and the Swans (15 points) that progressed to the Women’s Grand Final, with the former prevailing in Laois following a comprehensive 76-14 win.

Aussie Rules Teams

In contrast with the Irish competition, the AFL Down Under sees a total of 18 franchises compete in the men’s tournament alone. These include 2024 winners and Australian Rules football betting favourites for next year (the Brisbane Lions), Carlton and Sydney. Here’s a concise list of the current AFL teams:

AFL Grand Final Betting & Odds

The regular AFL season comprises 23 matchdays, with the teams that finish in the top eight of the Premiership qualifying for the play-offs. These franchises then compete in a knockout format to determine the two Grand Finalists, who do battle in a one-off game (usually at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground).

AFL grand final betting is a staple of Australian Rules betting, with a crowd of 100,013 watching the showpiece game between Brisbane and Sydney on September 28th.

Betiton have already released their outright Aussie Rules betting odds for 2025, with Brisbane the early favourites to retain their crown at the competitive price of 6.25. 2024 runners-up the Sydney Swans can be backed to avenge their recent loss in the final at odds of 8.05.

Best Aussie Rules Betting Tips by Betiton Ireland

From the standard-bearing Aussie Premiership to the AFL in Ireland, there are numerous markets available to bettors. Successfully leveraging these markets requires knowledge and insight, however, so here are some Aussie Rules betting tips to help you maximise your bankroll!

• Prioritise Moneyline Betting: As we’ve touched on, draws are vanishingly rare both in Australia and the Ireland AFL. So, one of the best AFL betting tips is to prioritise moneyline betting, as the implied probability of successfully picking a winner is higher when compared with many other sports (apart from tennis and rugby).

• Engage in Proactive Outright Betting: If you’re going to engage in outright Australian Rules football betting, it’s important to wager as early and decisively as possible. This is especially true when looking to back 2025 Grand Final favourites like Brisbane, as their odds of winning are likely to shorten significantly as punters flock to bet on them over time.

• Bet on Multiple Outright Winners: Similarly, it’s wise to bet on multiple outright winners of the AFL in 2025. After all, the last five Grand Finals have produced five different winners, while it’s possible to cover multiple outcomes while guaranteeing at least a nominal profit. Just be sure to tailor each individual stake to suit the published odds and the implied probability of each outcome occurring.

What Is AFL?

Primitive forms of Aussie Rules football were played sporadically in the Australian colonies throughout the 19th century. However, it wasn’t until 1858 that the sport evolved into anything more than a novelty, as this year saw a number of Aussie Rules matches organised in Melbourne.

The following year, football clubs were also formed in Geelong and Melbourne University, while the burgeoning popularity of the sport saw the creation of a uniform set of rules (known as the ‘Victorian rules’) in 1866. The sport was played on an amateur basis at this time, and this remained the case until 1896.

In this year, six of the wealthiest Aussie Rules clubs (Carlton, Essendon, Fitzroy, Geelong, Melbourne and South Melbourne) discussed the formation of a new professional competition. They subsequently launched the Victorian Football League (VFL), joined by teams from Collingwood and St Kilda.

This remained the elite level of Aussie Rules competition until 1990, when the now-iconic AFL was formed. This rebranding was carried out to reflect the competition’s new national composition, while it has since been synonymous with greater levels of professionalism, viewership and high quality gameplay.

As an aside, it has often been suggested that Aussie Rules may have been at least partially derived from the Irish sport of Gaelic football. There’s certainly some synergy between these two sports, while the popular AFL Masters Ireland in 2024 blended the very best of Aussie Rules and Gaelic football gameplay!

Other Sports Categories to Bet on at Betiton Ireland

Of course, Gaelic football is another sport you can bet on at Betiton Ireland. You can also access similar sports such as Rugby Union, Rugby League and American Football. The NFL and the Super Bowl are particularly popular, with the latter generating $23.1 billion in bets during 2024 alone.

Currently, we cover 37 different sports at Betiton, with other popular disciplines including football, cricket, tennis and boxing. Irish fans also love to wager on Gaelic Hurling, which is another key staple of the GAA and features teams from across the length and breadth of the country!

Responsible Gambling

From the AFL Down Under to the Aussie Rules Football League of Ireland, there are plenty of opportunities to bet on this sport. So, it’s important that you wager responsibly at all times, by setting a conservative bankroll to cover a predetermined period of time.

This should never exceed an amount that you can comfortably afford to lose. You can also manage your bankroll at Betiton Ireland by setting customisable deposit limits, which can be set daily, weekly or monthly depending on your precise betting patterns.

You can also self-exclude through our site and take an indefinite break from betting, for anywhere between six months and five years.
