After registering an emphatic win in his first game as coach of the Parramatta Eels, punters with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au are tipping more of the same for Brad Arthur.
Winning two of the six games he’ll coach prior to Ricky Stuart’s arrival has firmed from $2.40 into the $2.00 favourite, while three wins has been the big mover in betting, shortening from $6.50 into $3.00.
“He’s had the perfect start and punters don’t think it will be a one off, with Arthur winning just one of the six games he will be in charge of drifting from $2.10 to $4.50,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.
The Eels have been opened as the $2.35 outsider for their round 22 clash with the Wests Tigers ($1.60).
