One TAB punter is celebrating a $70,000 collect after their $10,000 bet at $7 today on Fremantle’s Nat Fyfe to win the 2019 Brownlow Medal paid dividends.
For the first time since Matt Priddis’ stunning triumph in 2014, the TAB favourite did not win the AFL’s highest individual honour as Geelong’s Patrick Dangerfield was $2.40 before the counting of votes commenced.
Fyfe opened $7 minutes after Hawthorn’s Tom Mitchell was awarded last season’s Brownlow Medal, was as much as $9 throughout the home-and-away season and eventually started tonight’s count as a $7 chance.
Fyfe was the fourth-most popular player at TAB in terms of money placed to win the 2019 Brownlow Medal with Dangerfield receiving the most support followed by Lachie Neale and Patrick Cripps.
Dangerfield finished on 27 votes – six behind Fyfe – with Neale ($5) and Cripps ($11) tied for third on 26 votes.
One TAB customer is ruing their luck after they ‘Cashed Out’ a Multi that could have resulted in a $13,750 payday.
On March 27, the customer in question placed $50 at $275 on Greater Western Sydney’s Jeremy Cameron to win the 2019 Coleman Medal, GWS to reach the 2019 Grand Final and Fyfe to win this season’s Brownlow Medal.
Instead of collecting $13,750, the punter ‘Cashed Out’ for $316.62.
TAB has already opened betting on the winner of the 2020 Brownlow Medal with Patrick Cripps the $6 favourite.
