The Central Coast Mariners are the $2.05 favourites to win through to the A-League Grand Final on Saturday but punters with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au are leaning towards a Perth Glory win.

The Glory are the $3.70 outsiders but have attracted 60% of the money in head-to-head betting.

“There is still decent support for the Mariners but we’ve seen a trend towards Perth as we get closer to the game,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

“They’ve scored six goals in their last two matches as well so the $3.70 on offer for them has attracted many punters.”

Sportsbet.com.au is offering punters a ‘Red Card Refund’ for the match – if there is a red card at any stage of the game, we’ll refund all losing 1st goal scorer and correct score bets.

In Grand Final winner betting, Brisbane remain favourite to go back-to-back at $1.36 with the Mariners at $4.00 and Perth at $7.00.

Channel 7 has been installed as the network most likely to snare the most Logies by online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au but Channel’s 9 and 10 are in with a big show on Sunday night.

Seven has been priced at $2.75 to collect the most gongs however Nine ($3.00) and Ten ($3.25) aren’t far behind in the market.

“The rivalry amongst the networks is fierce so there’s no doubt the network chiefs will be keeping an eye on the overall tally,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

“Seven is ahead in the market right now but Nine and Ten are not out of it by any stretch of the imagination.”

The ABC is next in the market at $9.00 ahead of SBS ($31) while Foxtel is the big outsider at $101.

Former rockstar Brian Mannix may work for online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au these days but even his work mates don’t give him much chance of winning this season’s Dancing With The Stars, pricing him at $41 to go all the way.

Danielle Spencer has moved into favouritism, firming from $4.50 into $3.75, while Johnny Ruffo isn’t far behind at $4.20.

Kerri-Anne Kennerley is next in the market at $6.00.
Former AFL star Brendan Fevola is also seen as a long shot alongside Mannix, priced at $34.

Working for sportsbet.com.au as a Content Developer hasn’t helped Mannix’s price when framing the market said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

“We all love Mano in here, but after seeing him show off his moves around the office, we aren’t too sure how he will go! We hope he proves us wrong and goes all the way.”

Casey Stoner may have finished third in round 1 of the 2012 MotoGP Championship, but it hasn’t stopped punters from getting onboard, with one punter placing a bet of $20,000 on the Aussie to win the championship with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

Stoner is the $2.10 favourite to take out the championship, with his toughest competition set to come from round 1 winner Jorge Lorenzo who is next in the market at $2.37.

Dani Pedrosa has also been given some chance at $6.50.

“There is usually some patriotic money for Casey, but one punter is obviously really keen on him and has put $20,000 on him,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

“The punter wouldn’t have been happy with the round 1 effort, but there is a long way to go.”

Punters with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au think it’s a battle between Badgerys Creek and the small town of Wilton to be the location of Sydney’s second airport with the suburbs the only ones to attract support.

Badgerys Creek remains the $1.80 favourite however Wilton has attracted the same level of interest from punters and has shortened into $13 from $21.

“The money has been just about even for both Badgerys Creek and Wilton,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said. “There has been absolutely no interest in any of the other locations including the Central Coast.”

Nepean (Western Sydney) remains second in the market but has drifted from $2.10 to $2.25 while Richmond has also eased, out to $15 from $11.
Windsor ($26) and Newcastle ($51) remain the rank outsiders in the market.

Punters are tipping that GWS won’t suffer another massive loss this weekend, with the line for their match against West Coast coming in from 105.5 to 99.5 after being well supported by punters with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

More than six times the money has been placed for the Giants to get within the line, with the line moving to 99.5 after Darren Glass and Matthew Priddis were rested from the Eagles team.

Regardless, the GWS v Eagles match is a $101 outsider to be the closest match of the round, with tonight’s Carlton v Collingwood match the favourite at $3.75.

“The money suggests the Giants will at least have a crack this weekend and being at home should help. But they still look up against it and regardless it looks unlikely to be a close game,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

In individual betting, ball magnet Gary Ablett is the $4.75 favourite to get the most possessions for the round this weekend, with Dane Swan and Matthew Boyd next in the market at $6.00.

Silent Achiever has snatched favourtism for Saturday’s Australian Derby from the Gai Waterhouse trained Laser Hawk – the Kiwi filly now heads the betting at $3.50 with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au after opening at $3.75.

Laser Hawk has drifted from $3.40 out to $4.00 while Ocean Park with Glen Boss aboard sits on the third line of betting at $4.60.
“We have taken plenty of bets around the $2,000 mark all week on Silent Achiever and one punter pounced on the $3.50 with a bet of $10,000,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

Rekindled Alliance has remained steady at $12 all week while Ethiopia and Strike The Stars have attracted the most interest outside of the top three in the market, both tightening into $13 from $15.

In the Sires Produce Stakes, Black Caviar’s half-brother All Too Hard continues to be the punters choice, backed into $1.60 after opening at $1.75 while Golden Slipper winner Pierro sits second at $2.40.

Foxwedge has also been backed into favouritism for the TJ Smith Stakes, into $2.05 from $2.15 with Rain Affair easing out to the second line of betting at $2.30 from $2.00.

Carlton may be the favourites to beat Collingwood this weekend, but the Pies have been tipped to win the battle of the ball magnets, with Scott Pendlebury and Dane Swan favourites to get more combined possessions than Chris Judd and Marc Murphy.

Collingwood’s star duo are priced at $1.77 compared to Carlton’s pair at $2.00.

“All four are guns but Pendlebury and Swan have been racking up the numbers for a few years now and if one doesn’t get 40 possessions, it is a fair chance the other one will,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

With the match taking place on Friday the 13th, sportsbet.com.au are offering a Friday the 13th special where if your team losses by less than 13 points, you get your money back!

In head to head betting, Carlton have continued to firm, now into $1.80 after opening at $1.90, with the Pies drifting to $2.05.

Online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au has installed Sydney University as the $2.25 favourite for the 2012 Shute Shield competition.

Sydney Uni’s biggest threats look to be defending champions Eastwood ($3.50), Manly ($5.00) and Eastern Suburbs ($8.00).

“Last year’s Grand Finalists look hard to split but we’ve got Sydney Uni slightly ahead right now so it will be interesting to see what the punters do now the market is open,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

Randwick are next in the market at $11 followed by the Northern Suburbs at $15 while Parramatta and Penrith are the rank outsiders at $101.

Carrie Bickmore continues to be the punters choice to win the Gold Logie, with more money placed on her than the other nominees combined with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

This includes one bet overnight of $2,000, bringing her odds into $2.25 from $2.50.

The money has been solid for Bickmore since the market opened, starting at $3.75 before being well backed.

Bickmore’s strongest competition looks to come from Karl Stefanovic, who opened as the $2.50 favourite before drifting to $3.00.

“Bickmore is now into her shortest odds to win the Gold Logie. The majority of bets on these type of markets are usually small, but at least one punter thinks she is a good thing, placing $2,000 at $2.50 overnight,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

In other Logies betting, Hugh Sheridan continues to be well backed to win the Most Popular Actor Logie, firm at $1.18 with almost no bets placed on any of the other nominees.

For the Most Popular Presenter Logie, Stefanovic continues to be the favourite at $1.70, with Hamish Blake drifting from $8.50 to $21 after having only $3.00 placed on him to date.

“There hasn’t been much support for Hamish. Only $3.00 has been put on him so far, and who knows that was probably put on by Andy Lee as a joke anyway.”
