Online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au has opened Peter Costello at long odds to become leader of the Liberal Party by the time of the next federal election, pricing the former Treasurer at $41.

However, some punters think he will make a run for the leadership and have backed him to do so.

“He is a distinct outsider but that hasn’t stopped punters requesting he be added to the market,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

“As soon as news broke last night that he may have wanted back in, punters were keen to back him.”

Tony Abbott remains the firm favourite though and is now into $1.20 with Malcolm Turnbull next in the market at $3.75.

The Coalition remain the short priced favourites to win the next federal election, into $1.13 from $1.19 with Labor now out to $6.00.

Between $901 and $950 remained steady at $4.50 while every other category has drifted.

Despite Michael Jennings running out for the Windsor Wolves in the NSW Cup this weekend online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au says they’re no chance of beating the Auckland Vulcans, pricing them as the $3.50 outsiders for the clash.

The Auckland Vulcans are the short priced favourites at $1.30.

“You’d expect Jennings to have a good game himself but it’s no mean feat heading to New Zealand and beating the Vulcans and we feel the Wolves will struggle,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

Ricky Stuart used 25 players for State of Origin last year and online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au is tipping there will be plenty more new faces in 2012.

Punters who think Stuart will once again use a wealth of players in 2012 can back either New South Wales using under 24.5 players ($1.80) or over 24.5 players ($1.95).

“Ricky has shown in the past that he’s comfortable changing the team up and with injury concerns around we think there will be plenty of new faces come game one,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

Ryan Hinchcliffe has been priced at $1.33 to not make Game 1 for the Blues and $3.30 to play.

Queensland continue to firm to make it seven series wins in a row, now into $1.60 with New South Wales out to $2.35.

South Sydney’s Greg Inglis is the huge Dally M mover since coach Michael Maguire shifted him to fullback.

Opening as an $81 chance Inglis had drifted to $151 after even performances in the opening 2 round losses for the Rabbits.

In what can now be viewed as a masterstroke Maguire sprang the surprise positional change in Round 3 against Penrith despite naming Inglis in his normal centre spot.

Souths blew Penrith away in the first 20 minutes on that day with Inglis leading the charge picking up maximum Dally M points.

Since that day he has also achieved the maximum against Bulldogs in Round 6 and again last night against Cronulla.

Throw in a 2 point haul in Round 8 against North Queensland and Inglis now sits on 12 Dally M points behind Melbourne Storm pair Cooper Cronk and Billy Slater on 14.

Punters are yet to latch on to Inglis with the biggest bets being $100 @ $26 on 23/3 and another $100 @ $13 taken this morning.

Some did snare the $151 with 2 small $20 wagers on 24/2 & 27/2 and $10 @ $151 on 1/3

The next couple of weeks will be lean for Inglis with Souths having the bye in this week’s Round 10 and then he will miss the Round 11 clash with St George Illawarra being on Origin duty for Queensland.
