Will The Election Winner Serve Their Full Term?

Posted by Rooster on August 20th , 2010 under Sports Betting News | Be the First to Comment

Punters with leading online bookmaker Sportsbet believe that should Labor win tomorrow’s federal election, they will have a new leader by the time Australia next goes to the polls.

However, it’s a different story with the Coalition, with Tony Abbott favoured to keep the top job for at least a full term should the Coalition win tomorrow.

“Should Labor win the election, on the whole punters don’t think Julia Gillard will be at the helm in three years time,” said Sportsbet’s Haydn Lane.
“On the other hand, if the Coalition win, Tony Abbott will be the savior and it’s hard to see his position coming under serious threat.”
In overall election betting, Labor continues to drift on the back of strong recent support for the Coalition. Labor is now out to $1.35, with the Coalition at $3.15.

$2.50 Yes

Australian bookmaker Sportsbet has refunded all bets on Dustin Johnson to win the 2010 US PGA Championship after he received an unlucky 2-stroke penalty on the final hole which cost him a place in the playoff.
“Johnson was very stiff and we think it’s only fair we refund punters who otherwise would also have been stiffed out of their cash,” said Sportsbet’s Haydn Lane.
In recent times Sportsbet has refunded bets on the Socceroos in the World Cup after dubious red card decisions cruelled their campaign, on the Isner/Mahut 70-68 fifth set Wimbledon marathon, and Michael Barlow for the Brownlow Medal after breaking his leg late in the season, while paying out early on Richmond to win the AFL Wooden Spoon after only four rounds and on Tiger Woods in the 2009 Australian Masters.

Bookie Takes Largest Ever AFL Bet

Posted by Rooster on August 5th , 2010 under AFL | Be the First to Comment

One punter stands to win the largest amount in AFL betting history after an enormous wager on St Kilda to win the 2010 Grand Final was placed with leading online bookmaker Sportsbet.
The bet of $500,000 at the odds of $6 means the punter will collect $3 Million if the Saints hold the premiership trophy aloft on the last Saturday in September.
“This is the largest bet written in AFL betting history and will comfortably be the biggest ever collect if St Kilda win the flag,” said Sportsbet’s Haydn Lane.

“The Saints were as short as $3.60 less than a month ago but a run of patchy form saw their odds blow out to $6.
“Clearly this punter thought the price was too good to refuse. He has had an account with us since April but this is the first bet he’s placed.”

Prior to this morning’s bet, the biggest wager Sportsbet had taken on the 2010 AFL Premiership was a bet of $50,000 placed in March on the Western Bulldogs at the odds of $6.50.
St Kilda is now into $5 to win the 2010 AFL Premiership. Read more of this article »

Coalition Money Train Continues In Federal Election Betting

Posted by Rooster on July 29th , 2010 under Sports Betting News | Be the First to Comment

Since late Tuesday night, more than 90% of bets placed with online bookmaker Sportsbet on the Federal Election have been on the Coalition.

The weight of bets has seen the Coalition’s price shorten from $4.25 into $3.75, while Labor’s price has eased from $1.20 out to $1.27.
“There’s no doubt Labor deserve to be favourites, however, we think the election race is closer than what the current odds suggest,” said Sportsbet’s Haydn Lane.

“It seems punters think the Coalition are ‘over the odds’ and are happy to invest on them at what may prove to be an inflated price.
“We turned the Coalition into $3.85 on Wednesday but it’s clear that punters were still happy to take those odds.
“The Coalition has accounted for more than 90 of the past 100 bets we’ve taken on the election.” Read more of this article »
