————————————
Matt
WCQ – Japan def Australia @ $1.85 – As much as I’d love the Socceroos to spring a massive upset here, I just can’t see it happening. Japan still need to secure qualification, and nothing would delight them more than seeing the Aussies miss out.
&
Super League – Hull FC def Leeds @ $2.15 – FC have been on a big roll, and after a derby win over Hull KR last week, will be ready to upset the Rhinos, particularly with Gareth Ellis facing his former side for the first time.
= $3.97
Adrian
WCQ – Australia def. Japan @ $4.00 – While I do agree with Matt that this result would be a massive upset, I’m confident the Socceroos can overcome the odds and go a long way to securing a spot in Brazil.
&
State of Origin – NSW def. QLD @ $1.90 – The Blues to get the win in front of a packed ANZ Stadium.
= $7.60
James
ICC Champions Trophy – Australia def. West Indies @ $1.55
&
Tennis – French Open – Stosur def. Jankovic @ $1.68
= $2.60
Tomo
NBA – Gm6 Indiana vs. Miami – Indiana @ $2.15 – Miami gave the Pacers a spanking in game 3 and the Pacers responded by winning game 4. Miami just spanked the Pacers in game 5, so I expect the Pacers to respond and send this thing to a winner takes all game 7.
&
Tennis – French Open – Winner – R Nadal @ $5.50 – Sure he’s out of form and hasn’t played in like forever, but it’s NADAL ON CLAY. At $5.50, I’ll take the gamble!
= $11.83
David
Super Rugby – Crusaders v Waratahs – Head to Head – Crusaders @ $1.22 – The Crusaders have had two test match like games, and will be battle ready. They will be out to avenge last rounds loss to the chiefs, and to possibly gain some ground on them.
&
NSW v QLD-Game 1 – Queensland @ $1.80 – Are you really trying to come up with a reason not to back them?
= $2.20
