Would You Bet Against A Wallaby Bounce-Back?
June 26th, 2013 by adminThe first test against the Lions was full of heartache for Wallbies fans, with a laundry-list of injuries piling on the woe of missed O’Connor penalties and pure heartbreak for Curtley Beale in the dying seconds. But we learned a lot about both sides, and the men in Green and Gold showed that they would push the tourists every step of the way.
So the Lions head to Melbourne with half a job done, and with just one more win needed to seal a series victory. And they’re odds-on to claim the series on Saturday at $1.60, where Australia are at $2.35 to bounce back and set up a thriller in Sydney on July 6th. Look out, too, for some interesting betting markets: Israel Folau laid down a marker in the first test, and he’s at $3.00 to cross the whitewash again on Saturday ($8.00 to bag two or more…). The Lions have their own proven finishers, though, and both George North and Alex Cuthbert are at the same $3.00 to score (they’re both at $8.50 to score twice or more). Likely it’ll be a tight game, and it’s a brave man who’ll bet against the Wallabies to get their noses in front at some stage: they’re $1.40 to take the lead at some point, $2.75 to never get in front at all…
