Denman will be all the rage
Betting markets for this Saturday’s Futurity Stakes and next week’s Australian Guineas have been shaken up with Lloyd Williams bypassing the Futurity with exciting colt Linton in favour of taking on Denman in the Guineas.
“With Linton out of the Futurity, Typhoon Tracy is now the hot favourite at $1.60 to beat the boys yet again at Group 1 level,” said Sportsbet.com.au’s Haydn Lane.
“Linton has been installed a $5 second favourite for the Guineas. Sportsbet have eased Denman out from $1.45 to $1.55 and former Guineas second favourite Set For Fame from $4.20 to $5.50.”
Prices are subject to fluctuation.

NBA Tips 23/2
There looks to be some value out there in the NBA today and we’ll be making a couple of plays. There are three games which take our fancy, so check out our tips below. If you want to place a bet, then be sure to register an account with Sportsbet, where you can claim a $300 Free Bet.
Chicago Bulls @ Washington Wizards
We’ll start with Chicago against the spread on their road trip to the new look Wizards. Both these sides were active in trade week and we believe the Bulls have strengthened their squad thanks to the addition of Hakim Warrick and Flip Murray. Casting an eye over the stats we see Chicago are 8-2 against the spread in their last ten road matches, while they have won 4 of their last 5 against the Wizards. Couple that with the fact Chicago have won 6 of their past 7 overall, beating the spread in 6 of those 7. They have been averaging 108 pts a game in their last five compared to that of 100 for the Wizards. Take Chicago -2.5 at $1.91 with Sportsbet.
The Blue Diamond Stakes promises another exciting finish. Beneteau ($3.60) is the top selection with other in the market including Psychologist ($8.00), Star Witness ($8.50) and Crystal Lily ($9.00). On a great card at Caulfield, the Oakleigh Plate looks an open affair with Lucky Secret (5.00) and Wanted $5.0) equal favourites. All eyes will be on the return of Weekend Hussler ($13.00).

Blue Diamond Stakes Betting
The 2010 Blue Diamond Stakes will be run this Saturday at Caulfield and the fields have been announced. It is a very open field this year with no real standouts. Beneteau (3) has opened at $3.60 after two impressive wins to start his career. He won in style last Saturday at this track by two and a half lengths and the step up in distance will suit.
Star Witness (2) at $7.00 is another with 2 wins from 2 starts and will be looking to add to his one and a half length win a fortnight ago at Moonee Valley. Psychologist (13) at $8.00 is one of only three horses in the field to of won at Caulfield after a stunning four and a half lengths win here in the Blue Diamond Fillies Prelude on debut a fortnight ago. She looks the real value here.
Others that catch our eye are General Truce (1) at $26.00 who run second to favourite Beneteau in the Blue Diamond Prelude for C&G last start, and he won his two with ease before that, including a win in the Maribyrnong Plate at a whopping $61.00!! Can he repeat the dose? Succession (4) at $10.00 and Crystal Lily (11) at $9.00 also look like good place chances.

2010 NBA All Star Match
Well here we are again, All Star weekend in the NBA as the best from the East take on the best from the West. This match is literally going to be the biggest NBA All Star match in history with over 90,000 people expected to be in attendance at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas, crushing the old record of 78,129 for a basketball match in America.
This match is always a great spectacle with the best NBA players going head to head. The West won last year event 146-119 in a landslide as Kobe Bryant and Shaq ran riot. Kobe won’t be playing this year due to injury, but the West are still favourites at $1.82, with the East at $2.00 at Centrebet.
The West will be very strong and hard to stop in the paint with guys like Dirk Nowitzki, Pau Gasol, Zach Randolph and Tim Duncan, while on the offensive end they look unstoppable with Kevin Durant and Carmelo Anthony both averaging 29 points a game this year, and backup coming from the likes of Chauncey Billups, Chris Paul, Brandon Roy and Steve Nash. There doesn’t appear to be too many weaknesses in this team.

Super 14 Round 1
Super 14 is back, finally, and what a super opening round it should be. We are being treated with six huge derby games to kick off the season. All eyes will be on reigning champions the Bulls as they travel to Bloemfontein to take on rivals the Cheetahs.
Aussie fans have plenty be excited about with the Western Force hosting the Brumbies, while the Reds entertain the Waratahs in Brisbane as the bitter QLD/NSW rivalry heats up a notch.
In New Zealand, the Crusaders and Highlanders meet, as do the Blues and Hurricanes, while last seasons runners up the Chiefs will take on the Sharks in Durban in what is the only non-derby game of the round.
Round 1 Super 14 Fixtures and Odds
Our Best Bets
Some good value out there. We like the $1.50 on offer about the Warratahs over in the west. The star studied Brumbies have been boosted by the return of Matt Giteau and Andrew Pretorious and a top four spot beckons. Take Warratahs straight win at $1.50.
We also like the South African double of the Stormers and Sharks to win at odds of $1.96. Both sides are highly fancied to beat their opponents and $1.96 appears to be a gift.
2010 NAB Cup Betting
AFL is officially back this Friday night with the return of the Pre Season NAB Cup competition. This year the opening round will be competed over a fortnight, with four matches this weekend and the remaining four matches the weekend after.
Sadly enough, this will be the last ever NAB Cup, as the introduction of Gold Coast FC next season will mean 17 teams in the competition and a 24 round Home & Away season, rather than 22 rounds.
Below are our tips for this weekend’s matches. At time of writing, the odds have not been quoted yet, but bookmark this post and return closer to match tiem to view the latest odds and our tips.
West Coast v Essendon (Subiaco, Friday Night)
Despite finishing towards the bottom last year, the Eagles finished last season like a freight train and have been installed as $1.52 favourites against the Bombers, who are $2.50 to win. The Eagles have a very strong young list and an exciting midfield, and they will make it tough going for an Essendon side who usually don’t treat the NAB Cup too seriously. Look at taking the Eagles to win at $1.52, or find value on the line. Bet Now!

William Reid Stakes betting
The 2010 William Reid Stakes will be run again this Saturday at Moonee Valley racecourse. The fields have been released and it is undefeated Black Caviar who is starting as a short priced favourite, $1.75 on early markets at Sportsbet.
This super young mare has won all of her five starts so far, but it’s the ease of which she has won which has really caught the eye. Four of her five wins have been over this distance and she has won twice at the Valley. Lightning Stakes winner Nicconi is second favourite after a stunning win last start. He has won two of three at the Valley as well as a third and will be tough to beat.
Others that look a chance to be in the money include Lightning Stakes runner up Wanted from the same stable as favourite Black Caviar, course and distance winner Light Fantastic, as well as Roman Consul winner Shellscrape, who ran an impressive third in the Lightning Stakes last start.
