Day 1 of the first Ashes test finished evenly poised after Australia grabbed two late wickets. The poms finished at 7/337 at the close of play. If it wasn’t for Siddle bowling both Prior and Flintoff in the last few overs of play, we could safely say that England are on top. That is not the case however, and with early wickets on Day 2 Australia will be happy where they stand. The bookies don’t agree entirely though, with England shortening in from before the game started. If you want to bet on the result of the match you can get attractive odds on Sportsbet if you fancy Australia. They are paying $3.25. A little surprisingly, England have shortened in ...
Betting is well underway now for the 3rd and final game of the State of Origin for 2009. Queensland will once again start favourites as they look to strangle even more life out of the already lifeless Blues. The selectors have made even more changes to the starting team of the Blues. The notable ones being the return of Brett Kimorley to half and Michael Ennis as hooker. The selectors have got it wrong all series so surely it must be tim for them to get something right. Personally, I agree with the inclusion of Kimmorley but I don’t think Farah deserved to be dropped. I was at the game between the Tigers and Souths on Saturday and he played ...
The Tour De France of 2009 is well underway, with the usual suspects bursting out of the gate. Unfortunately for Australian followers, the one exception to this is Cadel Evans. In the team time trial one of the riders crashed, plummeting Evans down the leader board. At the end of that day he fell out of the top 30. The feel good story of the 2009 Tour De France is of course Lance Armstrong. He is 37 years of age and still going hard. He was less than a second behind first place before last night’s stage. Sports Alive are offering odds of $3.50 in betting on the Tour De France. The short priced favourite is last year’s winner Alberto ...
