The odds are the same because games don't typically end with a 3, 9, or 13-point margin. Therefore, there would be minimal difference in the odds, or none at all, which is what the TAB has gone with.

There has been only one game this season decided by either 3, 9, or 13 points. The most common odd-numbered points diff is 7, hence why the odds are adjusted.

Thanks NextPlease, why would you ever pick the lower one?

You wouldn't, but I'm sure it would catch out the odd punter.

It's also a reason why bookies often have +9.5 or +11.5 points starts (as the primary line). Punters will have to lay some juice in order to buy up and take the +10.5 or +12.5, because bookies know the game isn't finishing with a 9 or 11-point difference.
