Despite steering the Brisbane Roar to back-to-back A-League titles, online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au says Ange Postecoglou will be coach of the Melbourne Victory for season 2012/13.

Sportsbet.com.au has priced the Victory at $1.20 to be club Postecoglou will coach next with the Brisbane Roar next in the market at $3.50.

Any other club has been opened at $10 while the new Western Sydney team is given little chance at $26.

“He is the hottest coaching property in Australian sport right now and we think the lure of leading the Victory back to the top of the A-League will be too big of a challenge for Ange to refuse,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

Last night, sportsbet.com.au refunded all bets taken on Perth to win the A-League title at any stage during the season and during the Grand Final after its controversial ending.

Despite having only broken even so far this season, Hawthorn still remain flag favourites at $4.00 with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

Carlton are next in the market at $5.00 despite the weekend’s upset loss to Essendon, while the West Coast Eagles have been the big movers in from $15 at the start of the season to now $5.50.

Geelong have been steady at $6.50 while Collingwood continue to slide, out from $6.50 to $7.00.

The Sydney Swans have also caught the attention of punters, into $17 from $21.

“Hawthorn have dropped two games but they have only been by a few points and against quality opposition. They still hold more money to win than anyone else so they continue to be flag favourites, at least for the time being,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

“Strong interest has come for the Eagles over the past few weeks and according to the punters, there is plenty of teams in with a chance to win it.”

Francois Hollande is the short-priced favourite to be elected as the next French President with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au and end the reign of Nicolas Sarkozy.

Hollande is the $1.12 favourite to be voted in as President, with the incumbent Sarkozy priced at $5.50 to be elected for a second term.

The race looks to be a battle between the two, with Marine Le Pen next in the market at the big odds of $67.

“It is clearly a battle between the two, but the market suggests Francois Hollande will get the better of Sarkozy,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

Hollande is also expected to dominate the first round voting this Sunday, priced at $1.62 to win both that round and the final round (if necessary) on May 6.

More Joyous remains the favourite at $6.00 to win the Doncaster Mile, but she is no certainty according to punters, with strong support also for Shoot Out, Sincero and Secret Admirer with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

After drifting out to $7.50, More Joyous is again into $6.00 and will likely run shorter with the improving forecast.

However in what remains a good betting race, the other top chances have also firmed, with Shoot Out into $7.50 from $9.00, Sincero $10 into $8.00 and Secret Admirer $7.50 into $7.00.

Absolutely has been the best backed outsider and is into $26 from $41.

“More Joyous is still the best backed horse, but with weather conditions still questionable, her odds could go either way depending on if the rain can stay away,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

“It’s always interesting when you price up an unraced baby especially when they haven’t trialled and you just sit there and see whether they will be any money for it,” Glenn Munsie, TAB Sportsbet Media Manager said.

“Kelly Schweida, has Discreet entered as well and it along with Noogoora Burr are both resuming off the Magic Millions so the race does have some depth.”

“If you’re steaming into a first starter that hasn’t been seen in public then you evidently have more information about it than us.’

New South Wales remain the red-hot favourites to win Saturday night’s inaugural U20 State of Origin clash with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au however there has been some late interest in Queensland causing an upset.

The Blues have drifted slightly since the market was opened, out to $1.30 from $1.25 while Queensland have firmed from $4.25 into $3.50.

“All of the markets indicate that New South Wales will run away with this one especially given the line is set at the -10.5 points but there is a small group of punters out there who think Queensland are somewhat of chance,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

A New South Wales win by 13+ is the $2.15 favourite in margin betting.

The Bulldogs, currently $4.50 NSW Cup winner favourites with sportsbet.com.au, have been priced at $1.55 for Sunday’s match.

Carlton are again the best backed team for the third week in a row, with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au taking more money on them to beat Essendon than any other match in round 4.

The support for Carlton comes despite their odds of $1.13, however punters have obviously seen them as a safe bet.

“Since after round 1 the Blues have been the best backed team every week. The punters see them as a real deal and after the Bombers were pushed by Gold Coast this week, they are again getting a lot of support,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

In other round 4 betting, the Sydney Swans have drifted on the back of Adam Goodes’ suspension, out from $1.54 to $1.73 against the Kangaroos.

With less than 100 days to go until the London Olympics, Australia may have to settle for less gold medals than they did in 2008, priced at $3.25 to win 12-13 gold with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

10-11 medals is next in the market at $3.50, while equaling or beating our haul of 14 in 2008 and winning 14-15 gold has been priced at $4.00.

If the Aussies win less medals than expected, 8-9 gold medals is priced at $6.50, 6-7 gold medals $11 and five or less an outside chance at $26.

On the other hand if expectations are exceeded, 16-17 gold is priced at $9.00, 18-19 at $17 and 20 or more at $26.

“We seem bullish about how many gold we will win, but the market suggests we will fall just short of last year’s tally of 14 gold,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

“While it looks unlikely we will have a disappointing Games, unfortunately it doesn’t look like we will be coming home with a full bag of gold either.”

In the overall medals tally, it also looks likely Australia will fall short compared to last year’s total of 46, priced at $2.00 to win between 31-40 medals.
