Punters are confident that there will be an RBA official interest rate cut tomorrow, but whether it is a decrease between 0.01 and 0.25 percent or 0.26 and 0.5 percent is the question, with both figures the short priced favourites with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

A cut between 0.01 and 0.25 percent is the favourite at $1.90, with a decrease between 0.26 and 0.5 percent not far behind at $2.00.

For the interest rate figure to stay the same is priced at $5.50, while a decrease of 0.51 or more percent is next in the market at $14.

An increase appears extremely unlikely, with any increase priced at $201.

“With some real concerns on the stock market, It seems almost no chance that there will be an increase. A decrease looks on the cards, but by how much remains to be seen,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

“We have a decrease between 0.01 and 0.25 percent as the most likely outcome, but only just ahead of a bigger increase between 0.26 and 0.5 percent.”

After GWS looked like certainties to win the wooden spoon, the Gold Coast Suns have continued to firm, still winless and into $2.10 from $3.50 after the weekend with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

The Giants, who opened at $1.15 and were once as short as $1.03 after their round five loss to the Western Bulldogs, are out to $1.72, their highest figure since the market opened.

“At the start of the year everyone would have penciled in GWS for the spoon and that is certainly the way the punters have gone, with ten times the money on them compared to the Suns to finish last,” said sportsbet.com.au.

“But the Suns are still yet to win a game while the Giants have shown a bit, so at this stage it really could go either way.”

After another upset loss, Carlton are now out to $1.90 from $1.37 to make the finals. Richmond on the other hand look destined for a rare finals appearance, into $1.22 from $1.50 to make the eight.

Sam Stosur is $1.65 to beat Dominika Cibulkova ($2.30) in their quarter-final match at the French Open tomorrow.

Stosur’s odds to win at Roland Garros were slashed from $8 to $5 after her victory and the shock loss of world number one Victoria Azarenka.

While Stosur has never beaten Azarenka in six matches, she has beaten Cibulkova in their only meeting.

The 2010 finalist could have a showdown with German Angelique Kerber in the semi-finals. Kerber (No. 10 seed) is $10 to win the French Open, but some punters secured $1,001 when betting first opened earlier this year.

Novak Djokovic ($4) is at his longest price since betting opened on the tournament. He survived a massive scare against Andreas Seppi after coming back from two sets down. The world number one traded at $1.87 to stage a comeback.

Collingwood are once again favourites to win the Premiership, firming from $5.50 to $4.25 with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

Hawthorn, who have been flag favourites for the majority of the season, have also firmed, into $4.75 from $5.50.

The Eagles, who were favourites for the first time last week, have drifted from $5.00 to $5.50 after their upset loss to Brisbane.

Collingwood were flag favourites right up until just before round 1, where the Hawks moved into $3.60 before their match.

The Pies were once as long as $8.50 to win the flag after their narrow Anzac Day win over Essendon.

“Given how close this season has been there has been big movements in premiership betting week in week out. Three teams have been flag favourites throughout the year, but after a few ordinary weeks the Pies look like they are back on top and are once again favourites,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

Adelaide have also firmed from $8.00 to $7.00, while the Bombers have drifted from $6.00 to $9.00 after losing to Melbourne.

And after being $166 after round two, the Tigers have firmed from $31 to $21 after their win on Friday night.

Following his win at the Memorial Tournament this morning, Tiger Woods is now the clear favourite at $6.50 with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au to win the 2012 US Open.

Woods was paying as much as $15 in late May but following his win this morning punters pounced.

“Punters reacted quickly this morning after he won the Memorial,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said. “He looked like the Tiger of old and punters think he’s hit form at the right time.”

Next in the market is Luke Donald at $13 followed by Lee Westwood and Rory McIlroy (both $15) and Phil Mickelson ($19).

Adam Scott is the leading Australian contender at $36 with Jason Day priced at $46, Geoff Ogilvy at $67, Aaron Baddeley at $101 and John Senden at $126.

Punters with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au give New South Wales a massive chance of leveling the 2012 State of Origin series, with the Blues attracting 47% of the money in head-to-head betting.

The Blues are currently the $2.00 outsiders for Game 2 at ANZ Stadium while the Maroons are priced at $1.80.

“This is completely different compared to the same point in betting for Game 1,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

“90% of the money was for Queensland at this point in the lead up to Game 1 so the fact almost half of the money has been for the Blues shows the punters give them a huge chance to win Game 2.”

There will be plenty of personal battles fought out during Game 1 of the State of Origin series and none more so than Robbie Farah versus Cameron Smith and Billy Slater against Brett Stewart.

Online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au has pitted the players against each other and the markets suggest that Slater will have the edge but Smith won’t have everything his way.

Smith is the $1.45 favourite to make more tackles than Farah ($2.70) but the pair are each priced at $1.90 to gain the most metres and score the most tries.

Slater has been installed as the $1.75 favourite to Stewart’s ($2.05) to gain most metres and the Storm fullback is tipped to have to do less defending, priced as the $2.50 outsider to make the most tackles – Stewart is at $1.50.

Slater is also favoured to score the most tries, priced at $2.25 and should Slater score a try at any time in Game 1, Sportsbet.com.au will refund punters their first bet placed on the match.

Queensland remain $1.48 favourites to win Game 1 with New South Wales at $2.80.

After announcing his retirement from MotoGP, online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au has installed Triple Eight racing as the favourite to be the team Casey Stoner will race for in the V8 Supercar series.

Priced at $2.20, Triple Eight heads the Holden Racing Team ($4.50) and Ford Performance Racing ($5.00) while $7.00 is on offer for Stoner to start his own team.

“He would attract huge interest if he joined the V8 paddock and no doubt all of the big teams will try and snare him but the market says Triple Eight Racing have a slight advantage right now,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

Mazda is the $1.33 favourite to join Nissan in V8 Supercars next year with Chrysler ($5.00) and Toyota ($8.00) given some chance while Mitsubishi, Daewoo and BMW are the $51 outsiders.
