18/1 Terry to score first against Wales

The England captaincy saga has dominated the build-up to England’s Euro 2012 clash with Wales at the Millenium Stadium this Saturday. What better way for John Terry to quieten his critics then to get England off to the perfect start? Totesport have the new England captain at 18/1 to score first.

With three games played England find themselves second in Group G behind leaders Montenegro. The Three Lions will be going all out for a win in order to return to the top of the table but will be more than wary of the attacking threat posed by Wales. England are firm favourites to beat the Welsh in Cardiff at 4/9, while Wales have long odds of 6/1. A draw between the two neighbours is 3/1.

Wales v England Totesport specials:

• 66/1 – John Terry to score and England to win 1-0.
• 25/1 – Andy Carroll to score a hat-trick.
• 12/1 – Wayne Rooney to score and England to win 2-0.

King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes Betting Odds

The Sir Michael Stoute trained Conduit heads bookmakers betting odds for Saturday’s Group One, King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot. Winner of last year’s St Leger, Conduit has had just two runs this season, both at Sandown and both credable efforts with the latest a 4 1/2 length 3rd in the Coral Eclipse behind Guineas and Derby winner, Sea the Stars, form whichalone is strong enough to merit his generally available 7/4 price tag, with Coral the bravest of all bookies at a stand out 2/1. However, when you look at his last win which came on his final start in 2008, in the Breeders Cup Tuf in Santa Anita, together with his St Leger form,  it is difficult to mount a case for any of these rivals.

Freemantle	66/1 @ Sportingbet	Click here to bet
Rockhampton	200/1 @ Stan James	Click here to bet

The closest rival to Conduit in the betting is another Stoute trained horse in the form of  Tartan Bearer who is a best priced 4/1 chance with Ladbrokes and Paddy Power. Also a four year old like his stablemate, Tartan Bearer looked close to recapturing his best form, a second in the 2008 Derby behind New Approach at Royal Ascot in June when he second to Vision D’Etat in the Prince of Wales’s Stakes. However, unlike Conduit, a Group One success still eludes Tartan Bearer but if things fall right, that could end on Saturday.

Last year’s Oaks winner, Look Here, poses the biggest threat of a filly winning the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes. Judged on her previous two runs this season, her latest of which was in conditions that were far from ideal in the Group one Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh but still finished a respectable third gives this Ralph Beckett runner a great chance and at 7/1 makes sound each way appeal.

Bookies Odds Can’t Split England and Australia in Ashes 1st Test Betting

The bookies odds ahead of the first test of the 2009 Ashes between England and Australia suggest just how close the Series could be. Depending on which bookmakers odds you look at, you can back either Australia or England to get off to a winning start at the same odds of 9/4. Sportingbet are offering the best price about the Aussies, whilst Totesport are the only firm offering 9/4 that England take an early advantage in this five test series.

The favoured outcome of the game, which is being played at Cardiff’s SWALEC Stadium is the draw, which is best priced at 7/5 with any of Bet365, Paddy Power or Boylesports, however, with the weather forecasted to be good for the next five days, this game has a great chance of finishing in a positive result for either side, with the Cardiff wicket expected to suit swing ballers, a department which the Aussie’s appear to be lacking in, giving England a chance of going 1-0 up in the series – Ashes Series Betting.
