The AFL Brownlow Medal is awarded to the best and fairest player of the entire AFL season, as voted upon weekly by the allocated field umpires.

There are many markets to bet on, and many possible outcomes including outright ties, top-5, 10, 20 and handicap markets.  Below we have simplified some available markets within examples of how to calculate payouts for ties (dead heats).  

Important! Payout on dead heat selection/s will not be less than the customers stake (excluding Cashed Out bets). 

What happens to my bet if my player is suspended or injured?

• Betting on the Brownlow Medal is considered 'All In' betting, this means if your player is not eligible (suspended) or has not played for the season the bet will stand.

What happens if the Brownlow Medal is a draw?

• If customer had a $100 bet on Player A at $3.00 to win the Brownlow Medal in the Outright Winner market and he ties with Player B on 30 votes each, the payout to the customer will be $150. 
  = $100 (stake) x $3 (odds) / 2 (number of players tied) = $150.00

What happens if there is a tie in the "Top 3, 5,10 or 20 Finish" Brownlow markets?

If there is a tie in the "Top 3, 5, 10 or 20" markets and the tie creates additional  winning places (i.e. 2 players tie for 3rd making 4 winning players in the top 3 market) the dead heat rule applies. Meaning, the payout of any winning bet in these markets where there are multiple players with the same number of votes is divided by the number of remaining places by the additional winning selections in that market.

Examples:

1. If a you had a $100 bet on Zach Merrett at $1.90 in the Top-3 market, and he ties for 3rd place with Nick Daicos on 25 votes each there would be 4 winning players in the top 3 finish market and the payout would have to be shared across an extra winner. The dead heat rule applies.
   $100 (stake) x $1.90 (odds) x 1/2 (1 place remaining for 3rd divided by the 2 players tied for that place) = $95.00.  As this is less than the customer’s stake, the $100.00 would be refunded
   
   
2. If a customer had a $100 bet on Isaac Heeney at $2.80 in the Top 10 Finish market, and he ties for 8th place with 3 other players and the dead heat rule would apply.
   $100 (stake) x $2.80 (odds) x 3/4 (3 places remaining from 8th, 9th & 10th, divided by the 4 players tied for those places) = $210.00

How does the AFL elite player handicap market work? 

• Each player's handicap (in brackets) is added to their final vote tally
  
  
• The player with the highest overall score after all players handicaps are applied (votes + allocated handicap) is deemed the winner. Dead Heat Rules Apply. 

Example:

• Lachie Neale with a (+2.5) handicap and Patrick Cripps with a (+0.5) handicap. At the end of the night Cripps wins the Brownlow with 28 votes and Neale misses out at 27 votes. For this bet type we then apply the handicap Cripps would have 28.5 votes and Neale 29.5 votes, assuming no other player's handicap would exceed Neale's 29.5 votes then the winning selection would be Lachie Neale.

When will winning bets be paid?

• We will settle all markets on the Brownlow Medal after the conclusion of the count so you can expect your Winnings in your account within 24 hours, but usually that same night.

What is a Brownlow exacta & quinella?

• Are you struggling to decide who will win the Brownlow and have two favourites in mind? A Quinella means that you pick two players whom you want to come first and second in the Brownlow in any order.
• An Exacta means you pick two players to finish first and second in that exact order. The player listed first needs to win and the player listed second needs to come second for your bet to win.

What is a Brownlow trifecta?

• A Trifecta means you pick three players to finish first, second and third in exact order.
• A Boxed Trifecta means you pick three players to finish first, second and third in any order.

What is a Brownlow Medal Pick4?

• A Pick4 means you pick four players to finish first, second, third and fourth, in the exact order. The player listed first needs to win, the player listed second needs to come second, the player listed third needs to come third, and the player listed fourth needs to come fourth.
• A Boxed Pick4 means you can pick four players to finish first, second, third or fourth in any order.
