With Ticketek up for sale, Flight Centre and the Ten Network have emerged as the front runners to snap up the company, priced at equal $4.50 favourites with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

In a very open market, News Ltd and Telstra have been priced at $5.00, with Fairfax Media next at $6.00.

“Ticketek is a strong brand so we don’t think it will have any troubles attracting a buyer,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

“We think it makes perfect sense for Flight Centre to buy it given they could tie it in with travel and accommodation around shows and concerts, but no doubt plenty of others are eyeing it off as well.”

Airlines Virgin Blue ($11) and Qantas ($21) are outsiders in the market, while any private equity operation has been priced at $6.50.

The Canberra Raiders odds to win the NRL Premiership with online bookemaker sportsbet.com.au have blown out following news of Terry Campese’s season ending injury.

Although considered outsiders at $34 prior to his injury, the Raiders have drifted out to $51, only ahead of the Panthers ($81), Titans and Eels (both $101).

“It’s just terrible news for Terry and the Raiders and it has had an immediate and big impact on their chances to win the competition,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

The Raiders have also firmed in wooden spoon betting and are now into $6.50 from $13 to finish last. They’re also into $1.22 to miss the top 8 and out to $4.00 to make the finals.

The Melbourne Storm remain premiership favourites at $3.75 ahead of the Broncos ($6.50) and Sea Eagles ($8.50).

Cadel Evans’ memorable 2011 Tour De France win could see him named as the official flag bearer for the Australian team at the 2012 London Olympics, priced as favourite at $2.90 to do so with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

Competing in what will be his fourth Olympics, Evans is favourite ahead of fellow four time Olympian Leisel Jones who is priced at $3.75.

Five time world hockey player of the year and 2004 Athens gold medalist Jamie Dwyer has also been given some chance at $5.00, while Sally Pearson is next in the market at $8.00.

“No doubt Cadel is our most recognisable athlete and he has been around the Olympics for a long time, so he ticks all the boxes,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

“Leisel Jones and Jamie Dwyer have been incredibly successful at the Olympics in the past, but we expect there to be some interest on Sally Pearson at $8.00 given she is our golden girl at the moment.”

Steve Hooker, who is yet to qualify for the Games, is seen as a long shot at $26 along with swimmers James Maggnussen and Stephanie Rice, both at $34.

The Voice may not have revealed all its contestants yet, but Rachael Leahcar has already emerged as the one to beat with the punters, with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au opening her as the $6.50 favourite.

Chris Sebastian, Paula Parore and Karise Eden are all next in the market at $13, while Cam Tapp is seen as the outsider at $101.

“There is still obviously a long way to go, but everyone has been talking about Rachael and her performance was extraordinary,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

“If she continues to perform like that she is going to be hard to beat, so punters may jump on at $6.50 early if they think she is going to go all the way.”

Despite Leahcar being coached by Delta Goodrem, Seal is the $2.75 favourite to be the coach of the winning contestant.

“He has been around the industry forever and is a pretty motivational guy. He will be able to get the best out of his singers and could be a real threat.”

The 2012 Layne Beachley Classic looks set to be a battle between Australia’s two biggest stars after leading online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au installed Stephanie Gilmore and Sally Fitzgibbons in the top two positions in the market.

Gilmore has been opened as the $3.25 favourite ahead of Fitzgibbons, who is at $4.50. The Aussie duo’s biggest threat looks to be Hawaiian Carissa Moore ($5.00) while fellow countrywoman Tyler Wright ($6.00) also a contender.

“Picking the winner could be tough, one things looks like a decent chance to happen and that is an Aussie winning the event,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.
“Four of the top five in the betting are from Australia so the odds are in our favour on that front.”
Aussie Laura Enever is next in the market at $13 ahead of Coco Ho ($15) while Rebecca Woods – the remaining Australian in the market – is a $41 outsider.

More Joyus may have the run of the race depending on weather conditions after drawing barrier 12, but has drifted slightly for the Doncaster Mile, out from $5.50 to $6.00 with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

She is now equal favourite with noted wet tracker Secret Admirer, who has held firm at $6.00 despite drawing barrier 22.

“More Joyus has drawn beautifully but there are obviously some question marks depending on how wet the track is on the day,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

Buddy Franklin may still remain as the $2.75 favourite for the Coleman Medal, but support has come for Geelong forward Tom Hawkins, firming from $17 to $12 over the weekend with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

Amazingly, Hawkins opened at $51 to win the Coleman in early January and was once as long as $81 in February.

“He has carried on his form from last year’s Grand Final and he has shortened after every round so far this year,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

“Buddy is still the one they want, but while guys like Nick and Jack Riewoldt and Josh Kennedy are drifting, the market shows that Hawkins is a real contender.”

In Brownlow betting, Gary Ablett continues to firm, in from $8.00 to $5.00 after another brilliant game in round 3.

With one day to go until the 2012 Cleo Bachelor of the Year is announced, Hayden Quinn remains favourite but appears to be no certainty, with Nathan Jolliffe firming from $9.00 to $4.50 over the last week with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

Quinn has drifted slightly from $3.00 to $3.25, while James O’Connor remains on the second line of betting at $3.50, with Jolliffe next in the market at $4.50.

AFL star Sharrod Wellingham has also been given some chance at $5.00, while fellow footy player Bernie Vince has drifted from $17 to $21.
“Hayden has been the favourite since the market opened, but there has been some late support for Nathan Jolliffe and it really looks to be an open market,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

“There has now been more money for Jolliffe than anyone else, so he looks to be in with a real chance!”

Online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au has installed superstar Black Caviar at $1.04 for the 1200m Group 1 Classic on April 28 at Morphettville in Adelaide.

The undefeated mare has also been priced at $1.12 for the Goodwood Handicap two weeks later.

“At level weights against mares she is virtually unbeatable. She may start even shorter,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

“She will be slightly longer in the Goodwood as she will carry the maximum top weight but you’d think she’d simply be too good yet again.”
