The Coalition has now attracted 80 percent of money wagered with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au to win the next Federal Election.

They remain the $1.10 favourite, with the ALP the distinct outsider at $7.00.

“The Coalition was priced at $1.23 in late April, but the sheer weight of support from punters has seen the odds firm into just $1.10,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes.

“There have actually been more single bets wagered on Labor to win, but those with the biggest wallets have all backed the Coalition, including one bet of $50,000 to win just $5,000.”

Tony Abbott remains the $1.20 favourite to be leader of the Coalition at the time of the next Federal Election, while Kevin Rudd is the $2.00 favourite ahead of Julia Gillard ($2.70) to be Labor leader when Australia next goes to the polls.

Tomorrow’s State of Origin decider is tipped to be played in chilly conditions with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au installing the temperature at the time of kick-off to be between 14.1C and 16C as the $3.25 favourite.

Next in the market at $3.75 is between 12.1C and 14C and between 16.1C and 18C. Under 10C has been opened as the $9.00 outsider.

“The market is telling us it will be rather brisk come kick-off but for some reason I don’t think the 50,000 people at Suncorp will care to much,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes.

A wind speed of 5km’s per hour or more at kick-off has been opened as the $1.67 favourite.

Unheralded American Brian Baker has been installed as the $2.75 outsider by online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au for his fourth Round clash against Philipp Kohlschreiber ($1.46).

Baker was priced at a mammoth $501 to win Wimbledon but has firmed onto the eighth line of betting at $126 as his dream run continues.

“One punter thinks he can go all the way, putting $50 on Baker at $151 to take out the tournament,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes.

“A small batch of punters give Baker some chance to win through to the quarter finals as well. He’s attracted 22% of the money to beat Kohlschreiber.”

Novak Djokovic has firmed from $2.63 into $1.83 to win the Men’s title ahead of Roger Federer ($4.00), Andy Murray ($6.50) and Jo-Wilfred Tsonga ($10).

In the Women’s, Maria Sharapova remains the $3.00 favourite followed by Serena Williams ($4.00) and Petra Kvitova ($5.50).

Punters are tipping Queensland’s decision to move Greg Inglis to fullback will pay big dividends with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au taking double on the Rabbitohs flyer to be named Man of the Match to that of any other player.

Inglis is the $7.00 Man of the Match favourite alongside teammate Jonathan Thurston and Blues skipper Paul Gallen.

Robbie Farah ($10) and Cooper Cronk ($15) have been the best backed players after Inglis with Cameron Smith ($9.00) also attracting solid punter support.

“Inglis is the best backed player to be Man of the Match and to score the game’s first try so the punters are confident he’ll turn in a blinder,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes.

Inglis is the $10 first try scorer favourite and also heads the betting at a $1.75 to score at any time during the match and should Inglis score a try in Origin 3 sportsbet.com.au will refund punters their first bet on the match.

In head-to-head betting, New South Wales have firmed from $2.32 into $2.25 while Queensland have eased from $1.63 to $1.67.

Australia’s largest corporate bookmaker, Sportsbet.com.au, has welcomed the announcement that the promotion of live betting odds in sporting broadcasts will be restricted.

Sportsbet’s Chief Executive Officer, Cormac Barry, said it is an important step in reforms to online wagering, including sports betting, in Australia.

“Sportsbet acknowledges there are valid concerns about the penetration of sports-betting advertising, which is why we welcome this change,” Mr Barry said.

“Although the broadcasters’ codes of practice are still to be formally amended and registered, Sportsbet’s perspective is that the proposed restrictions are sensible, reasonable, and most importantly, they address the issues that have been raised about overbearing sports-betting advertising.”

Money continues to come in favour of New South Wales winning the State of Origin decider next week with the Blues firming into $2.32 with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

Support for the Blues from punters has grown slightly in the last 48 hours, with 62% of the money in head-to-head betting now for Ricky Stuart’s men. The Maroons have eased from $1.60 to $1.63.

“The money has been in favour of the Blues to win the decider since Game 2 finished,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes.

“That interest has grown from 60% to 62% and while that is a small rise it is still a rise in support for the Blues nonetheless.”

In margin betting, a 1-12 win for either side has attracted identical punter support – Queensland are paying $2.95 with the Blues priced at $3.25.

Sophie and Dale have firmed to the shortest price of any couple since this season’s market on The Block opened, into $2.10 from $3.10 with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

The price change has come on the back of a lot of interest in the couple over the last 24 hours.

Dani and Dan are the next best backed couple, but have drifted from $3.30 to $3.50.

Brad and Lara have also drifted from $3.50 to $4.00, while Andrew and Mike continue to be outsiders and have moved from $4.00 to $5.50.

“Sophie and Dale have been popular with punters all week, but the last 24 hours it has all been one way traffic for them to win which has seen their price shorten,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

“They have the lowest reserve and given that the market isn’t exactly booming, that is a massive advantage for them.”

Despite being $3.00 outsiders, more than double the money has been bet on North Melbourne over St Kilda ($1.39) with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

As a result the Kangaroos have firmed from $3.10 to $3.00, while Collingwood ($1.11) have easily been the best backed team of the round in head to head betting, with virtually no interest in Fremantle, drifting from $6.50 to $7.00.

“After their win over the Crows last week punters are seeing real value in the Kangaroos at $3.00, while the Saints are friendless at $1.39,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.
