A pretty ordinary first week in 2013, with none of our punters successful. What will this week hold? Hopefully some cash. Who’s going to be the first to hit positive territory in 2013?

————————————

 

Matt

Cricket ODI – Australia def Sri Lanka @ $1.50 – The new look Aussie side have come under much criticism for the lack of star power, but the one thing they have is in-form batsman. Look for Aaron Finch, Phillip Hughes and Usman Khawaja to dominate this one.

&

nPower Championship – Leicester def Bristol City @ $1.70 – The Foxes are high in confidence after some dominant performances, and against the struggling Bristol side and a form striker in Chris Wood, they should get the 3 points here.

= $2.55

 

Adrian

A-League – Victory v Mariners – Draw @ $3.35 – I can’t split them. Should be a ripper.

&

EPL – Sunderland v West Ham – West Ham @ $3.00 – Can’t believe they’re paying this much! Great value.

= $10.05

 

James

EPL- Everton def Swansea @ $1.57- Both sides are in good touch after impressive results in recent cup matches, however Swansea will definitely be feeling the pinch of back to back games after playing Chelsea on Wednesday night, and I expect the Toffees to be too strong.

&

A-League- Sydney FC def Melbourne Heart @ $2.40- In a battle of the strugglers, The Sky Blues have too much to play for in front of their home crowd, with interim coach Frank Farina looking to secure the job past the end of this season.

&

NFL- New England Patriots def Houston Texans @ $1.20- This should be a fairly one sided affair with the home side clearly the better team over the course of the season.

&

Cricket- South Africa def New Zealand @ $1.15- After the bloodbath that was the first test, I can’t see the Black Caps bouncing back.

&

NFL Draft- Will Jesse Williams be drafted in the 1st Round? – Yes @ $1.40- All the talk about the man mountain from Queensland is how he lead Alabama to the college football title, and I cant see every side letting him pass by when its their turn to pick.

= $7.28

 

Tomo

NBA – Miami Heat vs. Portland Trailblazers – Heat -3.5 @ $1.90 – I expect the Heat to win this regardless and as intimidating as the Rose Garden is, I expect the Heat to win and cover the spread.

&

2013 Heineken Open – Winner – G Monfils @ $5.00 – The entertaining Frenchman has dazzled in this tournament and has looked impressive since returning from injury. I think he’s capable in taking out this tournament in his preparation for the Australian Open.

= $9.50

 

David

Australia v S Lanka-1st ODI – Head to Head – SRI LANKA @ $2.45 – they look the stronger team and this is their best format

&

India v England-1st ODI – Head to Head – India @ $1.65 – India have not been doing that much in test cricket of late, but much like Sri Lanka, they are more adept to the ODI game. Virat Kohli should see them through

= $4.04

 

Ruben

A-League – Wellington v Western Sydney – Phoenix @ $2.25 – They’ve got to win sometime… right?

&

BBL – Hobart v Brisbane – Hurricanes @ $1.65 – The home side have been great all tournament. Can’t see them getting beaten here.

= $3.71
