Punters who have backed Essendon to win the 2016 Australian Football League premiership will be offered a refund by Sportsbet in the wake of the landmark ruling on the supplements scandal. The firm notes that Essendon had been heavily backed to win both its first game of the season and the premiership. With many Essendon players now banned for the entire season, Sportsbet is no longer accepting bets on the team that will finish last on the AFL ladder.
