Tips for the 2007 Melbourne Cup

Vlad Duric riding Master O’reilly certainly looks hard to beat, but there are a few others that I think have a fine chance of taking out this years cup.

• Purple Moon - with veteran jockey Damien Oliver on board has a very strong chance.
• Zipping - has decent wet weather form and has been looking in nice touch of late
• Mahler - with the bottom weight and a decent barrier, as well as a slow track win
• Sirmione - you can never underestimate Bart Cummings, could win the double like Rogan Josh

This is it. We are taking on the world champs of soccer. Can we defeat the world’s most hyped soccer team? Punters don’t think so, us Aussies are paying $10 to win, and a decent $6.50 for the draw. The Brazilians are easy favourites, paying $1.21 to beat our Socceroos.
The time to beat them is now, having only played one game which, in my opinion, they were very lucky to win. They’re not in the best form, on the other hand, we’ve just come off a heart-lifting victory over Japan, even after the umpire awarded a goal which should not have counted.

I don’t think we have a better chance than now of knocking off the current World Cup favourites. It won’t be easy, but our playing team and our coach will surely be ready for a tough match, and after watching our effort against Japan, I think our team is finally ready to take on the world.

West Coast were lucky to win last week, but they did get the points in the end. Melbourne were too good for the Saints, and Collingwood, as predicted, were too good for Brisbane.

There’s not much on offer this week, The Demons against the Pies and Richmond V Kangaroos should both be close games, and the other games this week are probably going the way of the fav’s.

Fremantle has a decent chance against a heavily injured Bulldogs side, apart from that, I don’t see much value here.

Port got up and beat Essendon quite comfortably by ten goals in the end. Unfortunately, Brisbane were too good for Fremantle, beating them by more than 11 goals. Richmond continued their winning form, beating the struggling Cats.
Onto this week:

I think West Coast at $1.78 is a good price, the Melbourne v St. Kilda game will be tough, and the odds for the Saints are worthy of a small bet. And finally Collingwood, with the way they’re playing, should easily have it over the Lions.

Looking at the odds this week there’s not many value bets, most punters seem to think this round will be an easy one. Just like the previous two rounds I suppose Who would have backed the Tigers to beat Adelaide?

There are a few games here which I think could be tough, and I’ll put in my two value bets for the week. They’re not specials, as I agree with most of the punters and I rarely bet on an under priced favourite.
Port Adelaide without Cornes will be a lesser side, but they are due for a win. I think the prices should be much closer than what they are now against a struggling Essendon, who did put up an excellent fight last week. I still don’t think they’re back to their best and Port can improve a lot from where they are now.
The other value bet would be Fremantle to beat Brisbane @ $2.30. Not much else would return any value this week, unless you’re feeling game and want to back Carlton in at $8. Can they pull off the same upset as Richmond last week? I highly doubt it. Unless Fevola kicks 15-20 goals, that is
Here are the current head to head odds.

World Cup fever is set to hit Australia on Thursday (Australian time) when the Socceroos play a friendly international against Greece in Melbourne. More than 90,000 fans are expected to attend the game. But not all fans will be barracking for the home side - Melbourne has the second largest Greek population outside of Athens.

Current betting on IASbet shows the home team Australia at 2.20* with Greece at 2.35 and the draw 2.25.

Socceroos coach Guus Hiddink has named Middlesbrough striker Mark Viduka as Australia’s captain for the 2006 World Cup in Germany next month. The 30-year-old Viduka first captained the national team in the play-off win over Uruguay with regular captain Craig Moore sidelined because of injury.

Australia begins their World Cup campaign against Japan on June 12.

Betting on Australia’s first World Cup Finals game against Japan is already available with IASbet where the Socceroos are priced at 2.50, Japan 2.90 and the Draw 3.20.

With so much at stake, I don’t think the draw will happen. It would be nice to see us do well in the soccer, but I do have my doubts.

What an unpredictable week last week was. Freo toppled West Coast, Geelong lost to Melbourne who are finding some form, Richmond beat a struggling Essondon and the Kangaroos, with the help of the much talked about Thompson toppled the in-form Hawks.

Here we go with the current Head to Head odds:

Australia takes on New Zealand in the traditional Anzac Test match Suncorp Stadium. Australia will be fired up for revenge in this one after the Kiwis rewrote the record books with a 24-0 win the last time the sides met in the Tri Nations Series. Needless to say, the Kangaroos are a bit short for a straight out bet so the Margin Betting option is the way to go here.

The Aussies are easy favourites to take the win, paying 1.22. There’s a lot of value in NZ, paying over $4.

Professional golf’s first major of the season, the 70th U.S. Masters tees off at Augusta National Golf Course on Thursday (US time). Most of the pre-Masters publicity has centered on the decision to lengthen the course to 7445 yards; that’s 520 yards longer than when Tiger Woods won his first Masters titles. A total of 155 yards has been added to six different holes, most notably the par-three fourth.

Golfing great, Jack Nicklaus has been vocal about his dislike of what has occurred at the Masters. Nicklaus believes that the course now only favors long-ball hitters and the realistic number of contenders has dipped to six or seven. Can Tiger hold off Phil Mickelson to win his 5th US Masters?
