For example, if you were to bet on over 170.5 points, there would need to be a minimum of 171 points combined in the match.

The AFL represents Australia's premier sporting competition, combining athletic prowess, tactical complexity, and has extremely passionate fans across the 18-teams involved each AFL season.

Taking place across roughly six months, the [[Year]] AFL season has 23 rounds of regular-season competition before a highly competitive four-week finals series. There is a toal of 22 matches during the home-and-away campaign for each of the AFL teams, with the intense schedule testing who has the best consistency to move forward into the finals.
