2013 Champions League Final Odds and Tips
May 23rd, 2013 by adminSunday morning’s Champions League final is one of those events that is definitely worth staying up for, and I can’t think of a better final line up than Borussia Dortmund Vs Bayern Munich. Both sides know how to play attractive soccer, both sides attack repeatedly and both know how to entertain.
Bayern Munich are strong favourites at $1.80, however I like the look of Borrussia Dortmund to pull it off. Bayern have a habit of choking in the big final, and I can see it happening again.
Dortmund are $4.50 to win in 90 minutes, and $2.87 to lift the cup. I like the look of both those odds. Read the rest of this entry »

May 22nd, 2013 by adminYour Song has been drawn out in the car park for Saturday’s Doomben 10000, one of Queensland’s premier races of the year.
Buffering has the 12 stall but all the pace in the race is expected to come from the side slots with Rain Affair (5), Steps in Time (6) and Epaulette (4).
Other notables are Sea Siren (9), Rangirangdoo (14) and Spirit of Boom (13).
Prior to the draw Sportsbet took am $85,000 win bet on Your Song at odds of $2.70 which is obviously a risky bet so close to the barrier draw. The bookmakers are yet to release revised barrier draw odds but it’s highly likely the odds will increase for the favourite.
The Doomben 10,000 is run over 1350m and is race 8 on Saturday’s Doomben card, due off at 3:40pm.

May 18th, 2013 by adminA win for the Maroons in this year’s State of Origin will see them claim an unprecedented run of eight straight years, and they are currently the bookies’ favourite, sitting at $1.83 to take the series. But Read the rest of this entry »

May 13th, 2013 by adminWednesday’s Europa League final in Amsterdam looks likely to yield more entertainment for Benfica fans with activities outside the stadium than in, as Chelsea are rightly installed as keen favourites.
To lift the trophy Chelsea are $1.64 with Benfica $2.17. I feel the better value is on the handicap betting, with Chelsea -1 available at $5.00.
Chelsea’s recent form is strong, winning 6 of their last 8 games and with 2 draws, scoring at least 2 goals in every game bar the 1-0 victory against Manchester United. They have also got very recent European Final experience with last year’s Champions League victory.
Benfica on the other hand have a relatively weak streak, with 4 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in their last 8 games, including losing their last game, against PC Porto. They do often score though, so I think a cheeky correct score bet on Chelsea winning 3-1 at $19.00 is in order.
In my opinion an Over 2.5 goals at $2.00 is an almost certainty.
Other interesting Europa League 2013 Final bets are:
Chelsea to win both halves: $8.00
Lampard to score in 90 minutes and Chelsea to win the match: $5.50
Chelsea to score before and including 28th minute: $3.78
I don’t see much hope for Benfica, however given their likelihood to score, a bet on Benfica to Score Exactly 1 Goal is available at $2.50.

May 13th, 2013 by adminRound 8 2013 has thrown up some real mismatches, not least Hawthorn v GWS Giants in which Hawthorn are the shortest priced favourites ever for an AFL game at odds of $1.001 – a thousand to one on!
Best bets of the week at this stage look to be Gold Coast Suns at $1.63 who take on the hopeless Western Bulldogs at Metricon Stadium.
North Melbourne are firing now and look good value as they head to Perth to take on West Coast at odds of $3.10.
Elsewhere, Essendon are just $1.04 at home to Brisbane and Richmond are $1.01 against the hapless Demons. Both prices are way too short and Brisbane are worth a look with a 50.5 points start at the MCG.
More value around Port Adelaide again this week after their blip against the Tigers, Port are way too big at $3.90 to beat Carlton at the Etihad Stadium.

May 13th, 2013 by adminAnother defeat for Collingwood against Fremantle has pushed the Pies close to being removed from the top 8, and talk of a Top 4 finish looks optimistic at best.
Collingwood have faced four teams in the top eight of the ladder in 2013, and have been smashed by three of them (Fremantle, Essendon and Hawthorn). Consequently, the Pies odds for the Premiership have drifted out to $11.00 with Sportsbet.com.au and that price looks skinny.
Collingwood play Geelong at the MCG this Saturday and the Cats are red hot favourites to win at $1.38 and further dent the Magpies 2013 AFL chances. By Sunday morning they just might be down to 10th or 11th and really up against making the Top 8, never mind the Top 4.
Latest AFL Premiership odds:
Hawthorn $3.25
Geelong $3.75
Sydney $7.00
NSW Origin odds increase with Brett Stewart out of game 1
May 8th, 2013 by adminBrett Stewart’s injury has put punters off backing NSW for the 2013 Origin series. The Blues can now be backed at $2.15 to win the 3 game competition (out from $1.90).
Queensland have won the last 7 Origins and are now firm favourites to make it eight in a row at odds of $1.70
