AFL Spread Betting Tips: 2017 Round 18

July 21st 2017, 4:50pm, By: Andy Rosos

AFL Spread Betting Tips

We copped our first losing week in spread bets for a while last weekend, going just 1/4 with some hefty losses mixed in there. Round 18 will be a bounce back week though with some really interesting games on the slate. We present our AFL Round 18 Spread Betting Tips below.

If you’re still unsure of how spread betting works, you can check out our complete guide to spread betting before you create your own Pointsbet account and start winning cash - make sure you understand spread betting 100% before you start though, because things can get very swingy. You can also take a look at our regular AFL Betting Tips for Round 17 here

AFL Round 18 Spread Betting Tips

When the Cats lose, they always lose hounarably. They have yet to be blown out this year and their last two losses have come at a total of 20 points. We love the Crows winning margin x Taylor Walker points UNDER. There are so many outs if you take the under, the Cats could win, they could keep it close or Walker could have a stinker.

TIP: Crows winning margin x Taylor Walker points UNDER 325

Jobe Watson returns to the Essendon side this weekend after a week on the sidelines. He scored just 68 fantasy points in his last game and hasn’t had over 30 touches in his last 3. With the way the Bombers are playing at the moment they aren’t laying a great deal of tackles so we like his under on total fantasy points.

TIP: Jobe Watson UNDER 97 fantasy points

Isaac Heeney has been around the 90 mark in fantasy for the last three games. The three games before that he was well over 100. We are predicting a big win for the Swans at home on Saturday night against the Saints and when the Swans play well, Heeney usually gets plenty of opportunity in the midfield and running forward to kick goals. We like the over here.

TIP: Isaac Heeney OVER 97 fantasy points

Both Fremantle and Hawthorn will be desperate for a win on Saturday night to stay in contact with the top eight. Freo have the home ffield advantage and start as underdogs for the match but it’s the Hawks who we like. They took it right up to the Cats last week and we think at worst it’ll be a close loss for them as Freo have struggle to score massive totals all year.

TIP: Hawthorn -5 points
