Lions-Wallabies Betting: First Test Odds
June 17th, 2013 by adminThe Lions have been here long enough for the pundits and the fans to get a good look at them, and they look a powerful side, with plenty of big runners who can hurt the Wallabies come the first test on Saturday. As a result, the Lions are favourites to take the first game at $1.58. But there has been a bit of a feeling since the touring side touched down that Australia might just be up to the task of containing all that power, and that if they can be organised in defence, then the Wallabies will push the tourists close. As of today, you’ll get $2.40 on a green-and-gold win in the first test. Tempting for Aussie rugby fans, especially if you’re watching the game!
Elsewhere in the betting markets, there were a couple of things that caught our eye. We reckon the Lions will cross the whitewash at some point, and both George North and Alex Cuthbert are at $5.50 to be the first man in a red jersey to touch down. Not bad bets, but take a close look at Mike Philips at $10.00 to be the first Lion to register a try – we reckon that might be worth a go. With the kickers that the Lions have brought with them, odds of $1.33 for the first try to be converted look about right, but if the Wallabies defend narrow, that first try could easily be by a corner flag, and a miss might be good value at $3.00.
