The race may be months away and the field not even set yet, but online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au is so confident that undefeated champion Black Caviar will continue her dominant form overseas, she has been priced at $1.70 to win the Diamond Jubilee in England.

“Peter Moody has had the Diamond Jubilee in his sights for some time and it’s hard to imagine any horse on the planet capable of beating her over 1200 metres,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

Sportsbet.com.au has also framed a market on the two best horses in the world, Black Caviar and Frankel, to face each other throughout 2012 of a distance between 1400-1600 metres. Black Caviar is considered the favourite if they do meet at $1.60, with Frankel priced at $2.30.

Online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au says the battle for the highly coveted five-eighth position for New South Wales this State of Origin series is a battle of four.

sportsbet.com.au has framed a market on who Ricky Stuart will name as five-eighth and it’s Dragons star Jamie Soward who’s the leading contender, installed as the $1.50 favourite.

However, Jarrod Mullen ($5.50), Todd Carney ($6.00) and Terry Campese ($10) are all in with a show. James Maloney is the outsider at $17 with any other player at $26.

“Soward is the incumbent but he does face some serious opposition. A lot will hinge on who wins the battle between Soward and Carney on Saturday night,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

“And should they drop in form, Campese has shown glimpses of brilliance this season while Mullen has played Origin before. It will be interesting to watch what the punters do.”

Sportsbet.com.au has also framed markets pitting Soward against Carney in Saturday night’s local derby. Carney is the $1.25 favourite to gain the most metres with Soward the $3.85 outsider but the Dragons five-eighth is tipped to score more points, priced at $1.65 to Carney’s $2.25.

Gary Ablett is the punters choice to win the Brownlow Medal, moving from $10 to $8.00 and being the best backed player with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

After his dominant performance over Adelaide, he has received more bets and money to win the Brownlow than any other player.

“There has been steady support for Ablett over the pre-season, but after his massive effort over the weekend the punters have jumped on him and he is now the best backed player,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

“Whether he can win in a team that will struggle to win games remains to be seen, but if he keeps playing like he did against the Crows fans can expect his odds to continue to shrink.”
Scott Pendlebury has also firmed from $9.00 to $8.00 after his round 1 best on ground performance, while Chris Judd has drifted from $9.00 to $11.

Last year’s winner Dane Swan has also drifted slightly from $9.00 to $10, while Buddy Franklin has firmed on the back of his five goal effort on Friday night from $17 to $14.

“The Brownlow still looks likely to be a midfielders award but if anyone can break the trend, it is Buddy and the punters seem to agree.”

Adam Scott is tipped to be the best performing Aussie golfer at the US Masters this week but only just says online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

The world number 13 is currently priced at $2.63 but Jason Day is snapping at his heels at $2.75 while Geoff Ogilvy ($5.00) and Aaron Baddeley ($7.50) are given some chance.

“There is that mini battle amongst the Aussie boys that they all want to win and it is hard to split Adam and Jason right now while Geoff Ogilvy and Aaron Baddeley cannot be ruled out either,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes.

Much of the talk is about the battle between Tiger Woods and Rory McIroy and sportsbet.com.au has priced Woods as the $1.83 favourite to finish higher than the Irishman ($2.00).

Woods also remains the overall winner favourite at $5.50 ahead of McIlroy ($6.50), Phil Mickelson ($11) and Luke Donald ($14). Scott is at $25 and Day $36.

Sportsbet.com.au has also framed a market on whether there will be a hole-in-one (No $1.67, Yes $2.00) or playoff (No $1.22, Yes $3.55) in the 2012 edition.

With All Too Hard pulling out of the Golden Slipper Samaready has now moved back to stand alone favouritism, priced at $2.40 with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

Yesterday Samaready was priced as equal favourite at $3.00 with All Too Hard.

Pierro has also firmed from $7.50 to $4.50 with Epaulette also firming from $11 to $7.50.

“We were getting some real interest from punters on All Too Hard and it was the best backed horse of the race so far,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

“It would have been great to see him go toe to toe with Samaready, who is now the clear favourite once again.”

Monday’s Neilsen Poll has shown that the Labor Party face a tough battle to remain in power and the betting market agrees, with Labor priced at $3.65 outsiders to win the Federal Election with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

The Liberals remain firm favourites at $1.26, while the election itself seems certain to take place in the second half of next year, priced at $1.50 to be held between 1st July 2013 and 31st December 2013.

After overcoming Kevin Rudd in the Labor showdown Julia Gillard looks likely to lead her party into the next election, priced at $1.33 to do so. There doesn’t appear to be any challengers for Tony Abbott from the Liberal Party, priced at $1.25 to lead the Liberals into the next election.

“The polls show that the Labor Party may be running out of time and are starting from a long way back if they are to convince voters before the next election,” said sprotsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

“Today’s poll shows that they are losing out, and that has certainly been reflected in the betting market.”

After all the dust has settled with the completion of round 1, Hawthorn have firmed further to win the flag, now into $3.40 with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

$3.40 is shorter than any price Collingwood, the former favourites, have been since the market opened in early January. The Pies have drifted from $4.00 to $4.25, while Geelong has remained steady at $5.50 despite their round one loss to Fremantle.

St Kilda have drifted from $26 to $41 after their upset loss to Port Adelaide, while Carlton, West Coast, Fremantle and Adelaide have all firmed following their wins over the weekend.

“The Hawks moved straight to $3.75 favourites after their Friday night win. But following further interest in them by punters over the weekend and having had a look at all the teams play at least one game, they have firmed even further to $3.40,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

“A win this round against the Cats will only see them strengthen their claims of being flag favourites.”

Gianfranco Zola has moved into outright favourite at $4.00 with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au to be coach of the Melbourne Victory in next season.

sportsbet.com.au opened Zola as an $11 chance in early January but he drifted out to $18 by the end of the month where he remained until this morning.

“We’ve had Zola in the market from the beginning but all the talk indicates his chances have risen significantly in the past few days,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

Zola heads the betting from Branko Culina ($6.50) while current Brisbane Roar coach Ange Postecoglou has firmed significantly from $17 into $8.50 and third favourite.

Miron Bleiberg is given some chance at $10 while Kevin Muscat is priced at $11.

“Zola is the one we think is the most likely as of now but Postecoglou and Kevin Muscat are definitely in with a show in our book.”

Money continues to come for Todd Carney to win the 2012 Dally M with the Cronulla Sharks five-eighth shortening into $13 with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

Carney was priced at $29 before the season commenced but has quickly jetted towards the top of the market.

“Carney attracted the majority of interest in the first few weeks of the season and that has continued as he and the Sharks have gone on a three game winning streak,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

Carney looks to be facing stiff opposition from Melbourne Storm gun Billy Slater though who has blasted to the top of the betting, in from $15 to outright favourite at $4.00 while teammate Cooper Cronk has moved into second in the market, into $5.50 from $26.

“We’ve taken more money for Todd Carney to win the Dally M than we have for Billy Slater and Cooper Cronk combined so the punters have voiced their opinion early on,” Hawes said.

Workhorse Paul Gallen is next in the market at $8.00 followed Matt Bowen ($10.90), Sam Burgess ($11) and Greg Inglis, who is into $13 from $41. Benji Marshall, once favourite at $8.00, is out to $15.
