————————————
Matt
Confederations Cup – Brazil def Italy @ $1.75 – If you’ve seen any of the host’s form in the opening two games, there’s no way you’d back against them.
&
MLB – Cardinals def Cubs @ $1.50 – The Cards are in top form, with Yadi striking the ball well and an underrated pitching rotation keeping them in games.
= $2.62
Adrian
AFL – Port Adelaide v Sydney – Sydney over 39.5pts @ $1.95 – Should be a big win for the Premiers, especially with Kurt Tippet lining up for the first time in Sydney colours.
&
Confederations Cup – Japan v Mexico – Japan @ $2.45 – After an impressive display against Italy, the Samurai Blue should win this one.
= $4.78
James
DNB
Tomo
All Blacks vs. France – 3rd Test – All Blacks 13+ @ $1.40 – The All Blacks were clinical in the 2nd test and with Dan Carter returning, I expect more of the same.
&
Australia vs. Lions – Lions 12 and Under @ $2.40 – No real reason but part of me thinks this test will come down to penalties.
= $3.36
David
New Zealand v France-3rd Test – Half/Full Time Double – New Zealand/New Zealand @ $1.15 – The All Blacks showed last week that they were up for it. Whilst I don’t think that France will get walloped again (in terms of the scorecard), New Zealand should take a lead (going for a small one) into half time, before closing out the game.
&
Australia v Lions-1st Test – Head to Head – Lions @ $1.60 – I think that the Lions should be good enough to just edge the first test of the series. They may have lost to the Brumbies, but that was more of a second string side. They will be more match ready then the Australians, who have not played rugby in a couple of weeks. This should be a cracker!!
