USPGA Championship Betting Looking Tight As Kaymer Gets Ready to Defend Title

The final Major Championship of the season is on the horizon and all the best players in the world are getting ready to head to Atlanta for the USPGA Championship. Traditionally the tournament is the final Major of the year and it gives all the players one last chance to win one of the big four titles, at the moment golf is going through a boom with a number of players in form and ready to challenge for the title. The betting for the final Major of the year is offering punters plenty of value at this stage with Boylesports making Rory McIlroy the 9/1 favourite to win his second Major of the season.

McIlroy showed his brilliant talent to the world when he won the US Open back in June in stunning fashion but since then his form has dropped away slightly, he has been the subject of plenty of media interest since his win in Washington and it will be interesting to see how he fares in Atlanta. There is no doubt that an in-form McIlroy is the man to beat in at the USPGA but punters wanting a little bit more value may want to look further down the betting market. One not to ignore is defending Champion Martin Kaymer who will return to defend the trophy he won so well at Whistling Straits in 2010, the the German can be backed at a good looking 22/1 with Boyelsports to win at the Atlanta Athletic Club.

It is hard to talk about a Major Golf Championship without mentioning the name of tiger Woods and the former World No.1 will be the centre of attention at the USPGA once again as he plays his first Major since the Masters in April. Since playing at Augusta Woods has split with his caddie, misses the US and British Opens with injury and fallen outside of the worlds top 20 and he will be keen to put that all behind him at the USPGA. Woods is without a Major tournament win since 2008 and while he has shown no sort of form in 2011 he is still reasonably short in the betting for the USPGA, Woods can be backed at 14/1 with Boylesports to win his 15th major Championship in Atlanta this month.

New Zealand Odds On for Another Tri Nations Success According to Latest Betting

New Zealand have dominated the Tri Nations tournament since its inception and the All Blacks are expected to prove too strong again this season as the big three teams in the southern hemisphere clash heads in their annual competition. It is a slightly condensed tournament this year with the teams playing fewer matches to avoid burnout before the all important Rugby World Cup which starts in September. The World Cup will also be held in New Zealand and that is clearly their main priority for the All Blacks in 2011, having said that they will want to go into the tournament on a high and the Tri Nations is a tournament they love winning.

There is plenty of betting interest in the Tri Nations this year with the World Cup approaching and Boylesports are making the All Blacks the clear odds on favourite for the win, the team led by Captain Richie McCaw can be backed at 3/10 to claim the overall Tri Nations win. Coach Graham Henry is sure to rotate his squad during the tournament with the World Cup in mind with the worry of burn out a potential issue later in the year, such is the strength of the All Blacks squad though that they should have no problem in cruising through the Tri Nations.  New Zealand will be under massive pressure to win the World Cup on home soil so they will be keen to avoid any injuries or player burnout against their southern hemisphere rivals.

South Africa have all but written off the Tri Nations this season as they turn their attention to the defence of the World Cup later in the year, they have effectively chosen to take a ‘B’ Team to the Tri Nations and as they showed when losing to the Aussies in game one they are going to struggle to compete. The South Africans are clearly worried about picking up injuries and they will be hoping that one or two of their youngsters can stake a claim to be included in their World Cup squad for New Zealand in September and October. South Africa are given next to no chance of winning the Tri Nations by Boylesports and are the rank outsiders at 16/1 while the young Aussie team are available at 5/2 with the same firm to win the 2011 Tri Nations.

Spain The Team To Beat According To Latest Davis Cup Outright Betting

We are now down to the last four of the 2011 Davis Cup Tennis and there is no surprise to see Spain at the head of the market as they aim to win the team competition for the fifth time in their history. Spain have been the dominant force since winning for the first time in 2000 and it is hard to argue with their status as favourites with Boylesports, the Irish Bookmaker rate the Spanish  as a 5/4 shot to win the tournament which reflects the strength of their team at the moment. Such is the strength of the Spanish squad at the moment that they manged to comfortably dispatch the USA in the Quarter-Finals without needing to select their best player Rafa Nadal for the tie in Texas.

The closest opposition to the Spanish and there likely final opponents are expected to be defending Champions Serbia who with Novak Djokovic leading them will be expected to beat Argentina in their Semi-Final match up. Djokovic is without doubt the best player in the world at the moment and his remarkable run of form in 2011 was sparked by his brilliant performance in the Davis Cup Final last season as the Serbs defeated France in a tight final. Punters wanting to back Djokovic and the Serbs to defend their title can get a price of 6/4 with Boyleports, they look the clear favourites in the last four against Argentina which is likely to set up a home tie against the Spanish in the final.

The Spanish are likely to prove too strong for France in the Semi-Finals with the tie set to take place on clay later in the year, Nadal is likely to join the likes of David Ferrer, Feliciano Lopez and Fernando Verdasco in what is looking like the strongest team left in the tournament. It is worth considering though that should as expected Spain and Serbia reach the Final, the matches will be played in Serbia which is a massive advantage for Novak Djokovic and his squad which makes the Serbs a genuine threat. A Serbia v Spain final is a mouth watering prospect with Nadal and Djokovic set to meet in what could be a titanic tussle at the end of the year, Djovkovic has been on top of Nadal in general over the last year and if that trend continues we could be set to see Serbia retain their title.

Canford Cliffs And Frankel Cant Be Split In Sussex Stakes Betting

It has been a stellar flat season so far in the UK and Ireland but the best is yet to come as we countdown towards a clash between 2000 Guineas winner Frankel, and multiple Group 1 winner Canford Cliffs in the Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood. It is a clash of the ages as we look to find the best miler in Europe with the three-year old sensation Frankel the talk of racing at the moment, he will face his toughest task yet though when he faces the brilliant Canford Cliffs who is coming off a win over Goldikova in the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot.

At the moment the bookmakers can not split the pair with Boylesports rating both horses as an 11/10 shot to claim the all important bragging rights in one of the most hotly anticipated races in recent memory. Frankel was simply scintillating when winning the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket back in May and he backed that up with a win in the St James Palace Stakes at the Royal Meeting. The run at Ascot saw Frankel going for home early and although he held on for the win he appeared to be running out of steam in the final furlong, he will no doubt be held up at Goodwood with connections already saying they will not make the same mistake again.

We can almost guarantee that Canford Cliffs will be on the shoulder of Frankel going into the last couple of furlongs in the Sussex Stakes and Trainer Richard Hannon will be hoping he can repeat his run against Goldikova as he cruised past the filly to win the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot. Canford Cliffs is of course a year older than Frankel which should mean he is the stronger horse physically but at this stage it is hard to pick a winner which is reflected in the latest betting. Any punters wanting to take on both Frankel and Canford Cliffs in the race may want to have a closer look at the Aidan O’Brien trained Zoffany who was a close second behind the Sir Henry Cecil horse at Ascot, he can be backed at 8/1 with Boylesports to upset the apple cart and claim an unlikely win. It is hard to look past Canford Cliffs or Frankel here though with their mouthwatering clash on the horizon, the racing community is split on the potential winner at this stage and it seems the punters and bookmakers are in exactly the same boat.

• Evens – Frankel
• 6/5 – Canford Cliffs

Treasure Beach Cut in St Leger Betting After Irish Derby Success

Aidan O’Brien always has a strong hand when it comes to the classic races in the UK and Ireland, and the latest star from his yard Treasure Beach could be aimed towards the St Leger following his impressive win in the Irish Derby recently. The horse ran a blinder at Epsom in the English Derby and franked that form with his win at Curragh as he finished ahead of stable mates Seville and Memphis Tennessee. The horse looked like he wanted further and the final classic of the season could now be his aim and the bookmakers agree, Boylesports have slashed Treasure Beach into 5/1 for the Doncaster race and he could prove a nice piece of value.

At this stage of the flat season attention now turns towards the St Leger at Doncater with those top class three-year-olds with an extra bit of stamina likely to be aimed towards the race in September. Aidan O’Brien is always cagey about confirming future plans for his horses which is a worry for Treasure Beach fans and that looks to have been taken into account with his current price. The one the bookmakers are most wary about at this stage is Nathaniel who looks ideally suited to the trip following his recent Royal Ascot win, the John Gosden horse was second behind Treasure Beach in the Chester Vase in May and seemed to improve for that when winning the King Edward Stakes at the Royal Meeting.

The St Leger has to be the likely destination for Nathaniel and he  is currently available at 3/1 with Boylesports to pick up the win at Doncaster and he could prove to be the one to beat. Another interesting contender in the St Leger Betting is the excellent Brown Panther who was also particularly impressive when winning last time out at Royal Ascot. The Tom Dascombe trained horse is a highly progressive type as he showed when winning the King George V Stakes and he could be one on the upward curve, Boylesports rate the Michael Owen trained horse as potential winner of the St Leger and is priced at 7/1 to do just that.

St Leger Betting with Boylesports

• 3/1 – Nathaniel
• 5/1 – Treasure Beach
• 7/1 – Brown Panther
• 7/1 – Sea Moon
• 7/1 – Seville
• 8/1 – Memphis Tessessee
• 12/1 – Fiorente

Carl Froch and Andre Ward The Favourites In Super 6 Betting

The Super 6 tournament seems to have been running for some time now but we are finally heading towards the conclusion with the search to find the best Super-Middleweight fighter on the planet. We already know that the brilliant Andre Ward is in the final and he will be facing either Carl Froch or Glen Johnson for the right to be crowned the king of the 12 stone division. Froch and Johnson face each other this weekend in the second Semi-Final and most believe that Froch is the one to beat with the Cobra the odds on favourite with Boylesports, the man from  Nottingham is the current WBC Champ and a final showdown with Ward is a mouthwatering prospect.

Froch has been fighting all comers over the past few years with only one defeat against Mikkel Kessler to his name so far, he bounced back from that last time though when he comprehensively out boxed Arthur Abraham to reclaim the World title. He faces the ageing Glen Johnson in the Super 6 Semi-Final and he is priced at 2/9 with Boylesports to claim the win by any method while Johnson is the rank outsider at a price of 10/3 with the same bookmaker to claim an unlikely win.

In terms of the overall Super 6 Betting it is Andre Ward who is the clear favourite to claim the win and that comes after he destroyed Arthur Abraham on points last time out, the American is waiting in the final and can be backed at 4/11 with Boylesports.com to claim the win. Ward will need to be wary of Carl Froch though as the Nottingham fighter has shown his resilience on a number of occasions recently when faced with adversity, the Cobra should reach the final and at the moment is available at 9/4 with Boylesports to claim the overall Super 6 Crown later in the year.

Carl Froch v Glen Johnson Fight Odds with Boylesports

• 2/9 – Carl Froch
• 10/3 – Glen Johnson

There is no doubt that The Heat will be the team to beat in the finals when they make their way past the Chicago Bulls but in the Dallas Mavericks they will be facing a tough team who will fancy their chances of an upset.

Hamilton 7/1 to win Spanish Grand Prix

The fifth race of the season roars into action this Sunday in the Spanish city of Barcelona. In the previous race in Turkey Sebastian Vettel won his third race of the season, extending his lead at the top of the F1 Drivers Championship to a staggering 34 points. If Lewis Hamilton and co have any chance of catching the prolific German they desperately need to put pedal to the metal in Spain.

As in every race to date in 2011 Vettel has been installed as the odds-on favourite for the win, with Boylesports pricing the 23-year-old at 8/11 to come away with all 25 points. Hamilton, who looked good in qualifying, is available at good odds of 7/1 to win his second race of the season, while his McLaren team mate Jenson Button is 16/1. Mark Webber was successful in Spain last year and is 11/4 to put in a repeat performance and win there this year and spark his season into life.

The Barcelona track is well known for being very difficult to overtake, with this in mind you would think that it will be hard to beat the driver who starts in pole position. Fernando Alonso, who finished second on this course in 2010, is 10/1 to start the race in pole position and 8/1 to win the race. The Spaniard is lagging back in fifth in the standings and needs a win to get himself back in contention for the Championship, and what better way to kick-start his season then winning on his home patch.

Spanish Grand Prix Outright Winner Odds

• 8/11 – Sebastian Vettel
• 11/4 – Mark Webber
• 7/1 – Lewis Hamilton
• 8/1 – Fernando Alonso
• 16/1 – Jenson Button
• 25/1 – Nico Rosberg
• 50/1 – Felipe Massa
• 80/1 – Michael Schumacher
