Online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au has installed Aussie cyclist Anna Meares as the gold medal favourite for the Women’s Sprint and Women’s Keirin events for the upcoming London Olympic Games.

 

Meares is priced at $2.39 for both events, while fierce rival Victoria Pendleton is by far her biggest threat, opened on the second line of betting at $3.08 and $5.95 for the respective events.

 

“We’ve already seen triple the amount of bets for Anna Meares compared to Victoria Pendleton to win Women’s sprint event,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes.

 

Sportsbet.com.au has also installed Meares and her Australian teammates as joint $2.99 favourites with Germany for gold in the Women’s Team print.

 

Australia is on the second line of betting at $4.95 in the Women’s Team Keirin, behind firm favourite Great Britain ($1.29).

James Magnussen looks to have a massive task on his hands to win gold in the men’s 50m freestyle at the London Olympics with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au installing him on the second line of betting at $5.50, well behind $1.60 favourite Cesar Cielo from Brazil.

 

Magnussen, who sportsbet.com.au has opened as the $1.33 favourite for the men’s 100m freestyle, has interestingly attracted 100 percent of the money so far wagered on the market.

 

“Every dollar wagered on the market so far has been for the Missile,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

 

“Already well backed to win the 100m freestyle gold medal, punters clearly like his chances in the 50m event too.“

 

American Cullen Jones is next in the market at $6.50 while Aussie Eamon Sullivan is priced as a $34 outsider.

Punters with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au are tipping South Sydney’s Adam Reynolds will continue his stunning NRL season after backing the halfback from $81 into $4.25 to score the most points this season.

 

Reynolds is the best backed player overall to tally the most points in 2012, attracting double to that of every other player in the NRL except Benji Marshall.

 

“He firmed into $21 after the first month of the season and that punter support has really intensified since May,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

 

“Benji Marshall is the only player, and only just, that has attracted more than half of what has been wagered on Reynolds.”

 

The Warriors’ James Maloney is the $4.00 favourite ahead of Reynolds with Jamie Lyon ($4.50), Jarrod Croker ($4.50) and Marshall ($9.00) rounding out the top five in betting.

Sithsaithong is the $2.25 outsider for the Super Featherweight bout.

 

“She’s super fit, is dropping down several weight divisions and has a sizeable height and reach advantage so we’re anticipating she’ll get the job done,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

With all three runners up from The Voice releasing albums this Friday, it’s Sarah De Bono that looks set to win bragging rights with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au installing her as the $1.50 favourite to have the highest charting album of the three.

 

Darren Percival is next in the market at $2.60 with Rachael Leachar the $6.00 outsider.

 

“She may not have won The Voice but it looks like Sarah will get one over the other runners up here,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

James ‘The Missile’ Magnussen has been installed as the $1.33 favourite by online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au to win gold in the Men’s 100m freestyle at the London Olympics.

Such a favourite to win the event, Magnussen’s nearest rivals in the market, fellow Aussie James Roberts and Brazilian Cesar Cielo, are at a distant $7.00.

“It will take something very special to stop Magnussen from winning the 100m freestyle Gold medal in London,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said

“He will no doubt start shorter than the current $1.33 quote.”

Canadian Brent Hayden, France’s Yannick Agnel and American Nathan Adrian are on the third line of betting at $15.

A punter with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au thinks Barack Obama will be re-elected when the US go to the polls in November after wagering $10,000 on the incumbent.

 

The punter placed a bet of $5,000 on Obama at the odds of $1.57 before wagering another $5,000 shortly after Obama had drifted out to $1.80.

 

Obama, who has now attracted three times the money compared to his biggest rival Mitt Romney ($2.60), has firmed into $1.45 to win the election.

 

“On top of the two $5,000 bets, we’ve seen wagers of $3,000, $2,000 and several of $1,000 on Obama to win,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

 

“It seems the consensus amongst the punters is that he will hold off Mitt Romney and be back for his second and final term.”

Mother Nature looks to have scant regard for the upcoming Olympics in London with the event tipped to cop bucket loads of rain and so much so that online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au has priced 10 or more days of rain during the Games at just $1.57.

 

5 or more days of rain is the favourite in the market at $1.10 while rain on all 17 days of the Games has been priced at $10.

 

“While we debate who is going to win what event, one thing looks almost certain – it will rain in London during the Olympics! The question is just how often?” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

 

No rain during the Games has been opened at $8.00.

Online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au has installed the Sydney Roosters as a $13 chance to win the NRL in 2013 with further speculation Sonny Bill Williams will wear the tri-colours next year.

Sportsbet.com.au has also priced Williams at $13 to take out the 2013 Dally M Medal.

“The Roosters were opened at $26 to win it this year so you can see what type of impact Williams will have on their chances of success,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

“We’ve opened Williams at $13 to win the Dally M Medal as well. That would put him right near the top of the market.”
