This Weekend’s Best Bets — Full Roundup
🏟️ AFL Finals Week 2 — all four games (Thu 3 – Sat 5 Sep)
Venue: Optus Stadium, MCG, SCG, Adelaide Oval · Broadcast (AU): Channel 7, Foxtel, Kayo Sports
- Best Bet: Fremantle to beat Hawthorn in Qualifying Final 1
- QF1 Thu 3 Sep, Optus Stadium: Fremantle v Hawthorn. Minor premiers on 137.2 per cent against the side that finished fourth on percentage alone
- EF1 Fri 4 Sep, MCG: Geelong v Carlton. Fifth on 122.3 per cent against the tenth-placed Wildcard winner on 101.5
- QF2 Sat 5 Sep, SCG: Sydney v Brisbane. Second against third, and the one game where the market and the ladder disagree most
- EF2 Sat 5 Sep, Adelaide Oval: Adelaide v Western Bulldogs. Adelaide at home on 117.3 per cent against the only finalist with a percentage under 100
- Format note: the qualifying finals carry a double chance, the elimination finals do not. Both EF losers are out

🏉 NRL Round 27 — the final round (Thu 3 – Sun 6 Sep)
Venue: Accor, Cbus, Allianz, Go Media, Townsville, Cronulla, WIN, CommBank · Broadcast (AU): Channel 9, Fox League, Kayo Sports
- Best Bet: Penrith to beat Wests Tigers, Sun 6 Sep at CommBank Stadium
- The minor premiership is live: the Warriors and Penrith are level on 40 points, separated by one point of differential, plus 309 to plus 308
- Warriors v Sea Eagles, Sat 5 Sep at Go Media, and Panthers v Wests Tigers, Sun 6 Sep. Whoever wins by more takes the J J Giltinan Shield
- The top eight is already settled, so several sides are playing for seeding rather than survival
- Newcastle have the bye and finish on 34 points regardless
- Dragons v Eels on the Sunday is the one game with nothing riding on it for either side

🎾 US Open — week two (Thu 3 – Sun 6 Sep)
Venue: Flushing Meadows, New York · Broadcast (AU): ESPN via Kayo Sports
- Best Bet: Match markets and set betting over outrights while the draw is still opening up
- The draw narrows from the second round to the round of 16 across these four days, which is where match and set-betting markets are at their most readable
- World No. 1 Jannik Sinner is absent with a knee injury, his first missed major since Wimbledon 2019, so Alexander Zverev is top seed
- Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz opened against Roman Safiullin having not played a tour-level singles match since April, and is in the bottom half with Novak Djokovic
- Alex de Minaur is the No. 6 seed. Night sessions on Arthur Ashe start around 9am AEST, the friendliest overseas Slam schedule for Australians

We are publishing this week’s selections ahead of the prices. Australian markets for several of these events are not fully up yet, and we would rather give you the plays early than quote a number we cannot stand behind. Check the current price at your bookmaker, and we will add ours here as the markets firm.
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.

Are these picks tipped to win, or value plays?
Both. The “Best Bet” for each event is selected on value — meaning the odds are larger than the true probability our analysts assess.
