Collingwood’s odds for a top 4 finish in 2013 look to be off the mark
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
Betting odds suggest that Collingwood are past their best…
April 18th, 2012 by adminCollingwood are now only 4th favourites to win the 2012 AFL Premiership crown at odds of $6.50 with Sportsbet.
And some pundits are suggesting that they may not even make the top 8!

September 11th, 2009 by adminMy street cred in the online tennis betting world is in tatters this morning thanks to Andy Murray, who was looking quite plausible for the US Open on 4.00 with Canbet yesterday.
That was until he decided to implode against Marin Cilic in the fourth round and go down in straight sets. Cheers Andy.
Looking on the bright side, Rafael Nadal looked much better in his own fourth round clash with Gael Monfils, showing little signs of his injury troubles to win in four sets. He’s since shrunk to 5.00 for the tournament with Canbet, which is still looking reasonable against Roger Federer’s measly 1.62.
Back to the horse racing tipping now and my hunch, Wanna Play Doctor, note ‘hunch’ that’s H-U-N-C-H, came fourth in the Perth Racing Tv Handicap at Belmont Park on Wednesday. His record is still one win and a fourth place in three starts.
Elsewhere and looking ahead to the weekend racing I’m already intrigued by the 1600m Dato Tan Chin Nam Stakes at Moonee Valley on Saturday. Lining up are two early Cox Plate favourites in the shape of El Segundo and Whobegotyou, the former of which has a great record at this venue, not least the Cox Plate itself in 2007. Whobegotyou is last season’s Caulfield Guineas winner and both are at the top of this year’s Cox Plate betting. I’ll be keeping an eye on these two and rest of the field going into the end of the week.
Now on to the markets for the AFL and NRL finals, which are all over the place as the week’s build-ups gather place.
To summarise, the AFL semis are on Friday and Saturday, with Western Bulldogs (1.25) taking on Brisbane Lions (4.00) and Collingwood Magpies (2.12) against Adelaide Crows (1.73), with current odds from Centrenbet.
With the NRL finals, week one starts on Friday with Storm v Sea Eagles, then Saturday sees Titans v Broncos and Bulldogs v Knights, followed by Dragons v Eels on Sunday. Overall current favourites are St George on 3.25, with Melbourne Storm on 5.50. I’ll be monitoring the team news as it happens this week before casting my hat into the ring.
There you go, four sports in one post, that should make you feel better after Murraygate.
