Some early action has been made at Sportingbet with some massive bets placed.

Although Black Caviar is a very short priced favourite for this Saturdays race the punters haven’t backed off with a number of big bets including a bet of $25,000 paying 1.28 placed earlier this week.

With Black Caviar likely to shorten even further by the start of the race sometimes it pays to get in early, so make sure you Sportingbet account today and claim $150 in free bets just for depositing $30!

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.
