Karise Eden and Lakyn Heperi are the new favourites to win The Voice, each firming from $9.00 into $4.50 to take out the competition with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

Early favourite Rachael Leahcar has remained steady at $6.00, while Fatai Veamatahau has moved into $6.50 from $13.

Jimmy Cupples has been the biggest mover overall, into $26 from $81.

“It looked like Mahalia Barnes would be the biggest competition for Rachael Leahcar, but Karise and Lakyn have really put their hands up as a threat and at this stage they deserve to be favourites,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

Seal continues to be the coach most likely to be in charge of the eventual winner, into $2.90 from $3.50.

The RBA’s 50 basis points cut to the official interest rate will be all for nothing according to punters, with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au offering odds of $1.03 that none of the big four banks will pass the rate cut on in full.

Even for one of the banks to pass on the full cut is seen as a long shot at $6.00, with two banks to pass on the full cut even longer at $11.

For three of the banks to reduce their rates in full has been priced at $21, with all four banks to do it seen as virtually no chance at $41.

“We have seen over the past months that the big banks aren’t afraid to defy the RBA. Given that this cut has been bigger than usual, we don’t see any way that any of the big banks will pass on the rate cut in full,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

While passing on the full cut seems out of the question, the big four banks are expected to move their variable interest rates, with NAB tipped to be the first to move at $2.50.

Westpac ($3.00), ANZ ($3.50) and the Commonwealth Bank ($4.50) have been given some chance, while for none of the big four banks to make any change has been priced at $13.

“The NAB seem to be the ones looking to come across as the good guys, so we expect them to be the first to act.” Said Anderson.

While Mitt Romney may have the Republican Presidential Nomination under control, he is still the outsider to win the US Presidential election, priced at $2.75 behind Barack Obama at $1.45 with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

Although the Republican Presidential Nomination is still officially open, Romney, whom sportsbet.com.au had paid out early on to win back in January, is now into just $1.01 with Ron Paul next in the market at $34.
“Romney has seemingly taken one big step, but now comes the much tougher task of becoming President,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

“At this stage all the money is with Obama, but plenty can change between now and November.”

And while the battle for the top job is only just beginning, Joe Biden is the short priced favourite to remain as the Democrat Vice Presidential Candidate, priced at $1.07 ahead of Hillary Clinton at $8.00.

The Republican Vice Presidential Candidate race looks much closer, with Rob Portman the $2.62 favourite ahead of Marco Rubio at $4.50, with Paul Ryan also given some chance at $9.00.

Sarah Palin and Donald Trump are also considered outsiders at $67 and $81 respectively.

Francois Hollande remains the short-priced favourite to be the next President of France, priced at $1.17 with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au to win the election.

Incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy, despite shortening $5.50 to $4.50 after the opening round of voting, continues to be the distinct outsider.

“Since the market opened, the money has been 7 to 1 for Francois Hollande compared to Nicolas Sarkozy,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

“If Sarkozy is any chance to remain in power he must win over a large portion of voters who went for Marine Le Pen in the first round.”
