Laser Hawk has drifted from $3.40 out to $4.00 while Ocean Park with Glen Boss aboard sits on the third line of betting at $4.60.
“We have taken plenty of bets around the $2,000 mark all week on Silent Achiever and one punter pounced on the $3.50 with a bet of $10,000,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

Rekindled Alliance has remained steady at $12 all week while Ethiopia and Strike The Stars have attracted the most interest outside of the top three in the market, both tightening into $13 from $15.

In the Sires Produce Stakes, Black Caviar’s half-brother All Too Hard continues to be the punters choice, backed into $1.60 after opening at $1.75 while Golden Slipper winner Pierro sits second at $2.40.

Foxwedge has also been backed into favouritism for the TJ Smith Stakes, into $2.05 from $2.15 with Rain Affair easing out to the second line of betting at $2.30 from $2.00.

Carlton may be the favourites to beat Collingwood this weekend, but the Pies have been tipped to win the battle of the ball magnets, with Scott Pendlebury and Dane Swan favourites to get more combined possessions than Chris Judd and Marc Murphy.

Collingwood’s star duo are priced at $1.77 compared to Carlton’s pair at $2.00.

“All four are guns but Pendlebury and Swan have been racking up the numbers for a few years now and if one doesn’t get 40 possessions, it is a fair chance the other one will,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

With the match taking place on Friday the 13th, sportsbet.com.au are offering a Friday the 13th special where if your team losses by less than 13 points, you get your money back!

In head to head betting, Carlton have continued to firm, now into $1.80 after opening at $1.90, with the Pies drifting to $2.05.

Online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au has installed Sydney University as the $2.25 favourite for the 2012 Shute Shield competition.

Sydney Uni’s biggest threats look to be defending champions Eastwood ($3.50), Manly ($5.00) and Eastern Suburbs ($8.00).

“Last year’s Grand Finalists look hard to split but we’ve got Sydney Uni slightly ahead right now so it will be interesting to see what the punters do now the market is open,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

Randwick are next in the market at $11 followed by the Northern Suburbs at $15 while Parramatta and Penrith are the rank outsiders at $101.

Carrie Bickmore continues to be the punters choice to win the Gold Logie, with more money placed on her than the other nominees combined with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

This includes one bet overnight of $2,000, bringing her odds into $2.25 from $2.50.

The money has been solid for Bickmore since the market opened, starting at $3.75 before being well backed.

Bickmore’s strongest competition looks to come from Karl Stefanovic, who opened as the $2.50 favourite before drifting to $3.00.

“Bickmore is now into her shortest odds to win the Gold Logie. The majority of bets on these type of markets are usually small, but at least one punter thinks she is a good thing, placing $2,000 at $2.50 overnight,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

In other Logies betting, Hugh Sheridan continues to be well backed to win the Most Popular Actor Logie, firm at $1.18 with almost no bets placed on any of the other nominees.

For the Most Popular Presenter Logie, Stefanovic continues to be the favourite at $1.70, with Hamish Blake drifting from $8.50 to $21 after having only $3.00 placed on him to date.

“There hasn’t been much support for Hamish. Only $3.00 has been put on him so far, and who knows that was probably put on by Andy Lee as a joke anyway.”

The prices may indicate that it will be a close game but punters don’t agree, with more than six times the money placed on Carlton than Collingwood for Friday night’s blockbuster with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

With both teams opening at $1.90, Carlton are currently priced at $1.82, while Collingwood are outsiders at $2.00.

Despite a close game expected, Carlton have clearly been the best backed team of the round to date, including one bet of $8,000 at $1.85.

“There isn’t a massive difference in their prices but the punters have spoken loud and clear that the Blues deserve to be favourites in the big match,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

“If the money continues to come at this rate they will start even shorter by the first bounce.”

This trend follows last week’s betting where the Blues were once again easily the best backed team, including one bet of $67,000 on Carlton to beat the Brisbane Lions at $1.35, returning a win of over $23,000 to the punter.

Adam Hills is priced at $6.50 and Ester Anderson is the outsider at $14.
