Punters back Sydney Swans for 2014 AFL Premiership after GWS Tweet says Buddy to be a Swan

SYDNEY - Oct. 1, 2013 - PRLog -- Sydney is now a clear fourth favourite behind Fremantle ($4 out to $4.50), Hawthorn ($4.50) and Geelong ($4.85 out to $5.00).

“Within minutes of the GWS tweet, we were hit with a wave of bets for the Swans,” Sportingbet Australia spokesman Andrew Brown said.

“In a one hour period, we took four-times more bets for the Swans than the total wagers we’d taken for them since opening the 2014 market after the grand final on Saturday,” Brown said.

Greater Western Sydney’s odds of being 2014 AFL Premier have drifted from $451 out to $501 at Sportingbet.

“While everyone else was backing the Swans, one of our punters kept his faith in a Buddy-less GWS, and put $20 on them for a potential $10,000 win,” Brown said.
