James Magnussen is clearly Australia’s best hope in the pool at the London Olympics, with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au pricing The Missile at odds of $2.50 to win two gold medals at the Games.

One gold medal would still be an incredible achievement and is priced at $3.00, while it seems unlikely the freestyle specialist will return home empty handed, priced at long odds of $9.00 to win no gold medals.

Three gold and four or more gold medals are priced at $5.00.

“We saw how dominant he was at the Australian Swimming Championships. When you think about how much better he could be by the time he gets to London, we are confident he won’t be coming home without at least one or two gold,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

Fans are expected to flock to Round 1 of the AFL in greater numbers than in 2011 (317,651 2011 round 1 attendees) with between 370,000 and 379,000 fans tipped to go through the gates in round 1 with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

Between 370,000 and 379,000 is the favourite result at $4.00, followed closely by 380,000 and 389,000 at $4.50.

It seems unlikely that crowd numbers will be disappointing, with below 339,000 the longest odds at $12.

“Even though there is one more game this year, on average it still looks like the AFL will get bigger crowds this year than 2011,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

“The Carlton v Richmond game is always massive and Friday nights blockbuster between Collingwood and Hawthorn will be close to a sellout, so we expect the crowds to be strong for the whole weekend.”

The Tigers continue to firm on the eve of their round 1 match, now into $2.55, the shortest odds they have been since the market opened, to beat Carlton with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

Only a week ago the Tigers were as long as $3.20, however Carlton’s injury worries as well as significant interest from punters has seen the Tigers shorten.

Carlton are still favourites at $1.55, however have drifted significantly from the $1.35 they were last week.

“The Tigers continue to be well backed by the punters and have shortened to their lowest price since the market opened. With plenty of time still to go until the game there is a real possibility that they could start even shorter by the first bounce,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

No Australian cyclist has ever won the Tour of Flanders and online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au is confident that record won’t be broken in 2012 with Matt Goss the best priced Aussie at the odds of $51.

The remaining Aussies in the pack are given far less of a chance – Baden Cooke has been priced at $101 to win the race, Stuart O’Grady at $150 and Matt Wilson at $501.
Tom Boonen and Fabian Cancellera have been installed as equal favourites at $3.75 for the one-day race held in Belgium.

“The market suggest it’s going to be tough old day for the Aussie contingent. They’ve been given little to no hope of victory,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes.

Peter Sagan is next in the market at $9.00 ahead of Philippe Gilbert ($17), Syl Chavanel and Matti Breschel (both $21). Sebastian Lengeveld is GreenEDGE’s leading contender at $41.

The Rock may have finally come back to Wrestlemania but it may not have been the best decision according to punters, with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au starting the People’s Champion as the $2.00 outsider in his match with John Cena.

Despite The Rock being the crowd favourite, Cena has been given the slight edge at $1.72.

“It’s hard to split these two. The Rock is one of the best of all time and has a few tricks up his sleeve, but Cena is a bit younger and seems pretty keen to show up the WWE legend,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

In other matches, The Undertaker’s incredible 19-0 Wrestlemania winning streak looks set to continue, priced at $1.07 to beat Triple H ($7.00).

“Triple H couldn’t get it done last year so we are confident it will be the same result this time around and the Undertaker’s Wrestlemania winning streak will continue.”

Surely after three consecutive years finishing one win outside the finals the South Sydney Rabbitohs can make the NRL’s top eight in 2012?

Leading online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au thinks it’s a fair chance they’ll make it this season, pricing the Bunnies at $5.50 to finish 9th.

sportsbet.com.au has also priced the Rabbitohs at $2.25 to make the top 8 this season.

“They’ve been so close in the past few seasons and with the side they have they will be expecting to make the eight,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes.

“The markets suggest they are likely to make the eight this year but the $5.50 on offer for finishing ninth indicates that it is a solid chance to occur.”

The undefeated Storm are at Black Caviar odds to finish in the top 8, priced at $1.02 ahead of the Broncos ($1.22), Manly and St. George (both $1.35), Warriors and Bulldogs (both $1.40).

Despite sitting 15th, the Wests Tigers are at $1.77 to make the eight while the winless Eels – who sportsbet.com.au has already paid out on to finish the season with the wooden spoon – is at $13 to make the finals.

The 19-year-old has been priced at $1.12 to not reach the semi-finals in any of three remaining Grand Slams in 2012 and at $5.20 to reach the final four.
And he’s given less chance of going all the way in 2012, priced at $1.04 to not win a major and the big odds of $8.80 to win one.

“With the likes of Federer, Nadal and Djokovic playing the game it is almost mission impossible to snare a major off one of those guys,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.
“We are confident he will win a major one day but we’re tipping it won’t be in 2012.”

Curtis Pitt is next in the market however is at long odds of $21. Simon Finn and Tim Mulherin are priced at $26.

Any other candidate is priced at $8.00.

“It looks very unlikely, with Palaszcuk almost a certainty to lead Labor back from what looks to be a very difficult position.”

Melbourne Storm’s incredible start to the season is tipped to continue this weekend, starting as $1.40 favourites to remain undefeated and beat the Newcastle Knights with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

The Knights will be desperate for a win as they sit just outside the top 8, however are seen as outsiders priced at $2.95.

“The Storm look in rare form at the moment. Newcastle are coming off a good win, but with the match being played in Melbourne, they look likely to continue on their winning ways,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

In what looms to be the match of the round, the Brisbane Broncos are $1.60 favourites to knock off the Dragons ($2.35) despite little separating the teams on the ladder.

“This one could really shape the top 8. Both have winning form and it is hard to split them, but we give Brisbane the edge.”

The Parramatta Eels, whom sportsbet.com.au has already paid out over $50,000 on to win the wooden spoon, look unlikely to find their first win on the season and will start as $3.65 underdogs against Manly ($1.28).
