NRL Betting Markets In Turmoil At Mid Season Mark

The Knights to win the NRL has blown out from $8.00 to $101, a top eight finish for the Sharks is into $1.45 from $2.90 and a Bulldogs finals appearance has firmed from $1.75 into $1.10 – they’re just some of the huge betting fluctuations experienced at online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au at the mid-point of the 2012 NRL season.

Aside from the Knights, the Warriors ($11 out to $17), Dragons ($12 out to $41), Canberra ($26 out to $151) and Parramatta ($19 out to $201) have been the big drifters in premiership betting while the Storm ($9.00 into $3.25) and Sharks ($31 into $21) have firmed sharply and been well backed by punters.

In top 4 finish betting, the Warriors have blown out to $8.00 from $2.75 while the Storm are into $1.002 and Wests Tigers into $1.85 after opening the season at $2.50 and $2.25 respectively.

The Tigers, Storm, Manly, Broncos, Bulldogs, Rabbitohs and Sharks have all firmed in top 8 finish betting while the Dragons ($3.00) and Warriors ($1.72) have gone in the other direction.

“The markets are saying the jury is still out on what the Warriors can do this season. They’ve fluctuated the most of any team across all of the markets,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

“The Storm opened the season at $9.00 and have been the best backed side by a journey to win the NRL and are into $1.002 to make the top 8!”

The Eels are now into $1.40 to claim the wooden spoon with the Raiders next at $6.50.
