How This Card Landed
Every pick on this card has now been settled. The five priced best bets returned two winners from five, and the four-leg multi went down on its last leg. A poor week: the two finals we got right were among the shortest prices on the card, and all three upsets went against us.

Bets of the Week Multi Builder
Our 4-leg Bets of the Week multi for 11-13 September 2026:
- Fremantle to win in AFL SF1 – Fremantle v Geelong @ $1.60
- Brisbane to win in AFL SF2 – Brisbane v Adelaide @ $1.36
- Sharks to win in NRL EF – Sharks v Cowboys @ $1.44
- LA Rams to win in NFL at the MCG – 49ers v Rams @ $1.50
Combined SGM-style multi at typical Australian bookmakers: ~$4.70 for a $1 stake. $10 stake returns ~$47. $25 stake returns ~$118. $50 stake returns ~$235. Build via the Picklebet or Dabble multi builders for best price.
The four-leg multi needed Fremantle, Brisbane, Sharks and the Rams. The three Australian legs all landed; the Rams lost 27-7 at home, so the multi did not pay.
Where to Place These Bets
The right bookmaker depends on the market. For racing multis and Same Race Multi builders, Ladbrokes and Neds lead. For football (soccer) and SGM coverage, bet365 and Dabble are strongest. For cricket, particularly IPL outrights and tournament markets, bet365 offers the deepest market list. For a full comparison see our best betting sites in Australia guide.
