maryann — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 08:15:09 +0000

Shane Lowery was reported recently to be going to the well-known Killarney Golf and Fishing Club with enough confidence that he will be able to defend the title he won last year as an amateur. Well, he can just be positive about defending the said title for he has already established himself as a good, experienced golfer at number 82 in the World Rankings. And also, he has the form that can enable him to.

However, the bookmakers just gave him little hope of being able to defend the title. Paddy Power Bookmakers actually just offered 33/1 odds on him to be successful.

The bookmakers seemed to have preferred others like Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell. McIlroy was made the favorite to go home victorious and McDowell was made second favorite.

In the first round of the Open Championship at St Andrews, McIlroy indeed played so well. And because of his effort back at St Andrews, he was installed at number 8 in the World Rankings.

McIlroy, for some sports betting enthusiasts, deserved to be given odds of 7/1 by Paddy Power. He seemed really capable of winning the title.

And McDowell has been considered as one of the best golfers in the world. He has the ability as well to make it at Killarney. He has good accomplishments as golfer and he seemed capable of having more.

McDowell, for some sports betting fanatics, also deserved to receive odds of 14/1. He appeared worthy of the odds with his ability to win the title.

Aside from the ones mentioned, golfer like Padraig Harrington will of course also be at Killarney to try to win the title. The ‘Major’ winner seemed also prepared for the great battle and was given the odds of 16/1 by Paddy Power to be actually successful.

maryann — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 08:14:35 +0000

The much-awaited BMW International Open was reported to be actually showcasing some great players who indeed made it to the US Open last week. And we believe now that the big event will, in Munich this week. In fact, the betting for the said event has player like World number 6 Ernie Els. Els got odds of 10/1 as favorite to win this week. But The Big Easy who finished 3rd at Pebble Beach behind Graeme McDowell got also odds of 10/11 to get a top ten finish.

BMW International Open will be a one successful event in general. It will just be, with all of the great players coming.

Well, World ranked number 11 Martin Kaymer will be around. He will be playing on home soil in an event actually won two years ago. And he will most likely be in great form as last week he just earned 8th place at the US Open and to even mention that three weeks ago got 12th place at Celtic Manor in the Welsh Open. Some sports betting fans might just have chosen to back him with odds of 11/1.

And another player in the world’s top ten, Paul Casey, is going to be around as well. He will come to Munich in reasonable form. He started the year with top ten finishes, including the 2nd place in the WGC – Accenture Matchplay. Sports betting fans might have supported Casey just with the odds of 16/1. But then might have not backed him as well with the quite disappointing performance he had displayed at Pebble Beach last week. At Pebble Beach, he only ended up in a tie for 40th place after doing well for the earlier rounds of the event.

BMW International Open is the event everyone should not miss this week. It is a must-see of the week with the great players it is to actually showcase.

maryann — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 08:03:47 +0000

The favorite to win the 2010 Wimbledon Tennis Men’s Singles was actually revealed just in time before the big tennis event actually started. And the favorite was revealed to be none other than the Number One seed, Roger Federer.

Federer was indeed revealed to be the favorite to win the 2010 Wimbledon Tennis Men’s Singles. Thus, he must have become more interested about winning just before the start of the tournament.

The Swiss was actually revealed to be 11/8 bet with the famous VC Bet. And sports betting fans might have just backed the odds.

Next in line was known to be the current No. 1 in the world Rafael Nadal. The champion was at 9/4. Then next in the betting was Britain’s star Andy Murray. The player was at 8/1.

Federer was also reported to have the advantage with own defense that could start on the Centre Court against Colombian Alejandro Halla. The player was beaten by Federer in straight sets on all four of their past matches. For some, Federer should not worry about his defense. But then he must still be careful particularly when reaching the last 16 when he could come up against Thomas Berdych. The French Open semi-finalist has ability to make Federer feel challenged. Berdych was revealed to be at 40/1 to win the tournament.

While Nadal was believed to be someone also with good chances of winning however must be cautious as he could find himself greatly troubled in case he comes up against John Isner, the big serving American 24th seed. Nadal has found it hard to be against genuine serve and volleyers like Isner.

Well, the 2010 Wimbledon tennis tournament already started last June 21. However, it will run for two weeks. So we still actually have to wait for the outcome of the tournament.

maryann — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 07:49:30 +0000

Yes, the odds of England to actually win the very important game against Slovenia were offered to sports betting fans for them to actually back. However, some of the sports betting fans might have just backed the odds of the national football team to go out of the 2010 World Cup because of the poor start of the team in this year’s big football event.

Well, the England national football team has to get support from the sports betting fans. The team has to get back up to be more eager to actually win the game and then just continue in the World Cup. But then because of the kind of start the team displayed, some might have just supported the odds of Slovenia to win the said game.

888sport.com has presented odds of 4/9 for England to actually get the victory they just need to progress in the 2010 World Cup. However, odds of 13/2 were also offered to those feeling less confident about the team’s ability to win the game after the poor start and just feeling more into backing Slovenia win. Odds of 16/5 on draw were also presented.

England, for a period of time, had been actually one of the favorites of many to win the World Cup title this year. However, because of the poor start shown by this one competitor, it has been just starting to lose its appeal to many.

Too bad that England had a poor start, it was not able to give the kind of start that many wished for. And Fabio Capello even got the blame for such a poor start. Departure of the manager was actually suggested by some following the bad start of the England national football team. England just drawn 1-1 with the USA and 0-0 with Algeria.

New Zealand National Football Squad Surprised Many With Level of Play

maryann — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 07:30:47 +0000

The New Zealand national football squad has been actually a victim of a lot of jokes just actually because of having 2000/1 odds of winning the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. Too bad that the squad has been experiencing humiliation however just recently despite the trouble it was still actually able to deliver level of play that surprised many.

Matt ‘Bumble’ Hockin was one of the many surprised then. Assistant kit manager of the New Zealand national football team itself was able to watch the top footballers of the team and was indeed amazed by the level of play delivered.

For Hockin, the level of play was high and that a good career in the English Premier League can be made with such good level of play.

“It might take them a month or two to adapt, but I think there’s a lot of potential in this All Whites squad, especially among the younger players,” said Hockin. “I think some of them could make a good career in the English Premier League.”

Well, if there is one sport that New Zealand is not still famous for, it must be football. But of course, with what New Zealand has shown just recently, the island country might just start to become famous for football in the coming weeks.

New Zealand might just make it big in this year’s World Cup. The last time New Zealand qualified for the big football event was way back in 1982. And after so many years, New Zealand was able to qualify for the finals thus most likely prepared seriously.

Just in the side’s first Group F match, New Zealand actually dominated. The side drew 1:1. And also with current title holder Italy, New Zealand tied 1:1. Indeed, New Zealand might just make it big in this year’s World Cup.

Irish 2000 Guineas Odds Unveiled

maryann — Fri, 21 May 2010 07:41:31 +0000

In the twenty-runner field for the Saturday’s big event, the Irish 2000 Guineas, trainer Aidan O’Brien will most likely have as many as nine runners. But then, the leading in the market so far is not one from the nine runners. The leading is the Richard Hannon-trained Canford Cliffs that snatched third in the English equivalent 3 weeks ago. The runner is currently with odds of 11/4 with Bet365.

The number one O’Brien runner will most probably be Steinbeck. However, the runner was proven last October to only have the ability to seize 4th place, behind stablemates Beethoven and Fencing Master, during the Group 1 Dewhurst Stakes last October.

Steinbeck is presently the second favorite with 3/1 odds. And one of the stablemates, Fencing Master, is with odds of 5/1.

The Richard Hannon-trained runner will actually be at the big event and this runner is the leading in the market. He might simply make it at the event. In the Group 2 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot last year, he showed really good performance. However, some say the runner has been showing signs of not being that well. In the Greenham Stakes at Newbury in April, he was only able to have second and was not an opponent hard to beat for
stablemate Dick Turpin.

However, the runner has good chances of winning as far as Irish 2000 Guineas is concerned as his trainer made it twice at the event. But then, let us just see if his trainer will rejoice after the event. Let us find out if the market favorite makes it at the Irish 2000 Guineas.

Other runners include the Clive Cox-trained Xtension, fourth in the Newmarket 2000 Guineas, and the John Oxx-trained Keredari, winner of a Listed event in April. It will actually be challenging for the market leader to win.

England’s World Cup Bid Odds Lengthened

maryann — Fri, 21 May 2010 07:12:31 +0000

The famous sports betting firm William Hill has actually lengthened the World Cup bid odds of England. Though still the favorite to host the 2018 FIFA World Cup, England’s odds to be successful in bid to host such event became 11/10, previously 10/11.

The sports betting firm has decided to lengthen England’s World Cup bid odds after former bid chairman Lord Triesman resigned May 16. The former bid chairman before resigning actually said that Spanish officials planned to bribe World Cup referees.

But though William Hill has lengthened the World Cup bid odds of England, sports minister Hugh Robertson remained positive about England’s bid.

“I don’t believe this will fatally undermine the bid, because the fundamental strengths of England’s bid are still there long after this unfortunate chapter has been forgotten,” Robertson said.

William Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe also said before that England could simply host the big event considering own facilities. But the spokesman also said that world football’s politics must be considered. And now, Sharpe most likely still has the same thoughts.

“England seem to have all the necessary facilities in place to host a World Cup but it remains to be seen whether the politics of world football will enable them to win the right to do so,” said Sharpe.

But England was able to remain as the favorite to host the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Spain and Portugal’s joint bid was reported to be at 3/1 odds and then the joint bid of Holland and Belgium and the Australia campaign at 9/1.

Of course, it is not yet clear if England will host the 2018 FIFA World Cup. But it is true that England has the facilities that would be needed for the World Cup. Let us wait and see if England will actually be chosen.

2010 Valero Texas Open Golf Odds Revealed

maryann — Thu, 13 May 2010 07:12:13 +0000

The 2010 Valero Texas Open is about to take place and of course we want everyone to get really excited about it and so we unveil the 2010 Valero Texas Open odds set by bookmakers.

Odds of 11/1 were for Ernie Els as the favorite to win the Valero Texas Open at San Antonio this week. And odds of 16/1 were for Zach Johnson, winner in both 2008 and 2009, as the second favorite to make it in this week’s big event.

Els was made the favorite to win the Valero Texas Open most likely because he has already two great accomplishments in the tour this year. Els actually missed the cut last week at the Players Championship however kept the highest rank, thus he could simply win the said event.

While the US Masters Champion in 2007, Johnson, has won one or two tour events but for some not that significant. And Johnson has been at number 32 in the world for some time now, and has also been in not so good form while trying to get the year’s first top ten finish.

Other players will be present too in the event just like for example Australian Adam Scott. And the odds for this player were revealed to be 25/1. Currently at 43rd and just not in good form as well. But he has been actually making sharp ball strikes and this is something to consider.

Sergio Garcia will actually be in the event as well however the player only has odds of 33/1. In the early stages of a big tournament recently, Garcia did well and if he’d just do same thing in the event of this week, he’d surprise everyone by beating others like Els, Johnson and Scott. In the rankings, the Spaniard has already slipped to 27th.

Portsmouth Manager the Favorite to be the Next West Ham United Manager

maryann — Thu, 13 May 2010 06:56:47 +0000

A book was opened by online bookmakers for the next manager of West Ham United after Gianfranco Zola departed recently. And the odds coming along were also unveiled. Odds of 4/9 were revealed to be for the Portsmouth manager as favorite for the role, odds of 6/1 for former Hammer, Croatia boss to be the next manager and same odds 6/1 for ex-Blackburn and Manchester City gaffer to get the position.

The Portsmouth manager was set as the favorite to have the role. Some might have been just wishing the best for the manager. But of course, there were others to be considered as well.

“We had thought Avram Grant was a certainty for the Hammers hot seat but betters now seem to think differently,” said Sky Bet’s Helen Jacob.

Slaven Bilic, former Hammer, Croatia boss, was also said to be with odds for the important West Ham United position. He has got 6/1 from 14/1 because of some supporters.

While Mark Hughes, ex-Blackburn and Manchester City gaffer, was set to be also in the betting for the West Ham United role. Odds of 6/1 were also for Hughes.

Zola, for two seasons, managed the club just right. And he had the reason or reasons for sure for leaving.

Well, we still don’t know who will really be the next West Ham United manager. And this seems now interesting for us. It may just be Grant, Bilic or Hughes. And it may just be another personality in the sport.

Hopefully, pretty soon we’d know who will really be the next West Ham United manager after Zola. However we might not be surprised anymore with the revelation. It might be just one of the personalities we’ve mentioned, but it might not be as well therefore there is a possibility that we also be surprised.

maryann — Tue, 04 May 2010 06:28:56 +0000

The 2010 World Snooker Championship Final has been one of the most anticipated events of snooker fans. And finally, these fans rejoiced Monday when they could already enjoy it.

And because of their accomplishment in the semi-finals, they made it to the 2010 World Snooker Championship Final.

The former champion, Dott, of course has the ability to win the big event. However, sports betting firms, days before the said event, set Australian Robertson as the favorite with odds around the 4/6 mark. And Dott was actually priced at 11/10.

The sports betting firms most likely just had the right bet. Robertson won 2010 World Snooker Championship Final, he beaten Dott 18-13 in big event.

But Robertson found it incredible. He said to BBC Sport after the event, “This is absolutely incredible.” He was granted the check of £250,000 for his achievement.

While Dott said, “He was far and away the better player – how I managed to get 13 frames I don’t know. I am obviously disappointed to lose in the final and not really perform. But I needed to get to the semi-finals to get back in the top 16 and I have played really well, so hopefully I will be back for next next year.”

Dott was really disappointed to not make in the final event. However, he said that he played very well and so was able to be back in the top 16 and for achieving such, he might have also felt glad.
