A day into the tournament, and already several big names have fallen. Bet365 has all the odds on Wimbledon this year, including plenty of interesting match-ups over the next couple of days.
Number-one seed Roger Federer had to battle from two sets down against Alejandro Falla in the opening round of The Championships. The 26-year-old Colombian took his chances against the six-time Wimbledon champion, but Federer’s experience shone through in what was an unexpected day one thriller.
Novak Djokovic and Nikolay Davydenko also had problems against their unranked opponents, forcing both matches into lengthy five-setters. Such results bode well for the unknown players at Wimbledon, as the end of a tennis era edges ever closer. Read the rest of this entry »
The World Cup is a week in, and already we’ve been privy to some fantastic football. While the goals haven’t been flowing as much as we expected, the betting opportunities have been first-rate. Bodog has all the odds.
Who would have predicted that Spain, Germany, and England would all be upset by lower ranked nations in the opening fixtures? Perhaps the biggest shock of all was last night’s 1-1 draw between reigning World Cup champions Italy and no-hopers New Zealand. Read the rest of this entry »
Here’s one last hurrah before the World Cup kicks off on Friday. Paddy Power has released another horde of novelty bets for punters to have a wager on, so head over to the online bookmaker to start winning big.
Bookies are still very worried that England might win the World Cup. If the Three Lions manage to pull off such a feat, online bookmakers are staring down the barrel of current payout odds of 8/1 – drifting from 6/1 ten days ago. While the majority of punters are tipping Argentina or the Netherlands to make an unlikely run to the World Cup final, there are still plenty of England faithfuls looking for a massive payout come the end of the tournament.
“Unusually England are yet to be the most popular team in terms of number of bets, suggesting some punters are weary of getting their fingers burnt yet again by a heart-breaking Three Lions failure,” Paddy Power spokesperson Darren Haines said. “It may also be a case that a more betting savvy nation is increasingly gambling with its head than its heart, but even though they may not be the most backed team, bookies still fear the potential payout on an England victory more than any other team.”
Here are a few of the latest bets that you can enjoy at Paddy Power, but be sure to head over to the online bookie for the complete list of standard and novelty World Cup bets.

With the World Cup being held in Africa for the very first time, Paddy Power has released a number of lucrative bets for punters to enjoy. Have a bet on a Desmond Tutu (2-2 draw), but don’t mention the Bore War (0-0 draw).
Despite being the host nation, South Africa aren’t even expected to get out of their group, let alone contest the knockout stages. As it stands, Bafana Bafana are sitting on odds of 7/4 to qualify for the Round of 16, but odds of 7/5 to finish bottom of their group.
Those football crazy folks at Paddy Power have even created a few humorous bets that are certain to entice any history buffs. Bore Wars and Desmond Tutu draws will be running throughout the tournament, but, hopeful of an exciting World Cup, odds for four or more Desmonds are sitting at just 8/11.

The French Open has seen an incredible number of upsets so far, and with only four players left in both the Men’s and Women’s tournaments, the next few days will be all about Roland Garros. Bodog has all the odds.
Bodog has odds on all four matches, including standard Money Line bets and Outrights on who will claim the French Open championship in both the Men’s and Women’s competitions. Let’s preview two of the best semi-final matchups, and be sure to check back at Bodog for all the weekend finals action.
Robin Soderling: 4/9
Tomas Berdych: 7/4
The biggest upset of the tournament so far – comparable to Serena Williams’ defeat to Sam Stosur – belongs to Robin Soderling. The man known as being the only player to ever beat Rafael Nadal at the French Open just one-upped himself with a quarterfinal victory over Roger Federer. The win ended Federer’s six-year run of reaching at least the semi-finals at every single Major. And while Soderling has yet to win a championship, his appearance at the French Open final last year should have Rafael Nadal shaking in his boots should the two meet this weekend.
Tomas Berdych has been in remarkable form this past few days. Winning every single match in straight sets is no easy task, especially when some of your opponents include Andy Murray, John Isner, and Mikhail Youzhny. If his flawless tournament continues against Robin Soderling, you wouldn’t doubt him to take home the championship, even against the like of Rafael Nadal. Majors can be strange competitions, as we have already seen, so I wouldn’t write off Berdych’s chances just yet.
Samantha Stosur: 8/13
Jelena Jankovic: 5/4
Australia’s Sam Stosur has had arguably the toughest run to the semi-finals out of all four women. Three of her five matches have gone to the maximum three sets, but perhaps most incredible is the fact that she defeated former world number one and four-time French Open winner Justine Henin in Round Four, before following it up with victory over current world number one Serena Williams. Stosur has only reached a Grand Slam semi-final once before, at the 2009 French Open, but the seventh seed is surprisingly favourite to progress to the final over her fourth seed opponent.
Jelena Jankovich has been here twice before, and both times she has failed to reach the final. After what could be described as an easy run to the semis – in comparison to other competitors – Jankovich will have the benefit of only playing one match to three sets. Fitness could play a factor this deep into the tournament, and the experience of the Serb is undoubtable. However, the bookies have her tipped as an outside chance to win, so it’s a very tough call.
Jurgen Melzer: 11/1
Rafael Nadal: 1/33
Francesca Schiavone: 10/11
Elena Dementieva: 10/11
Follow Bodog throughout the remainder of the French Open at their in-depth online bookmaker, and be sure to back your favourite player all the way to the title.
After a poor showing against Japan on Sunday, England’s World Cup chances took a heavy blow at online bookmakers. Paddy Power has just posted a huge selection of odds exclusively on the England football team.
The English side have dropped from 6/1 to 7/1 in World Cup Outrights, and now sit on level odds with Argentina behind Spain and Brazil. While they didn’t play well against Japan, fans can at least take comfort in knowing that the final squad is still yet to be decided. That will be Fabio Capello’s job on Tuesday, and several key players are expected to face the axe. Read the rest of this entry »
Luke Donald couldn’t produce a victory at Wentworth last weekend thanks to a miracle final round by Simon Khan. But without the BMW PGA champion standing in his way, Bodog is tipping Donald to take home the Madrid Masters title.
Running from May 27 – 30, the Madrid Masters will see a collection of the top golfers compete for the European Tour title over four exciting days. The event has only been running since 2008, so it’s difficult to tell who has the upper hand leading into this contest. However, 2009 winner Ross McGowan has been confirmed as playing, so he’ll definitely be a source of interest. Read the rest of this entry »
It’s that time of year again, and BetUS has all the clay court action at Roland Garros. The biggest names in tennis are in Paris to contest the 2010 French Open, so strap yourself in for a fortnight of riveting tennis betting.
The tournament kicked off yesterday, and already we’ve been privy to some five-set thrillers. While most of the stars sailed through their opening fixtures, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga had to fight for his life as young German international Daniel Brands pushed him to five sets.
Other upsets included Rainer Schuettler bowing out in straight sets to 32nd seed Guillermo Garcia-Lopez, while in the women’s draw both Victoria Azarenka and Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez were beaten by their unseeded opponents.
BetUS has all the odds for this year’s French Open, so keep updated throughout the next fortnight for the latest picks.
Roger Federer: -10000
Peter Luczak: +1800
This one should be a sure thing. Roger Federer is back to his best, having already picked up the Australian Open title this year and looking to earn back-to-back French Open Championships. Rafael Nadal has returned to the tournament, and the clay court veteran will likely pose a threat further into the event, but for now Federer only has to concentrate on his initial matchup.
Peter Luczak has yet to make it past the first round of the French Open, and with Roger Federer standing in his way you’d suspect that he’ll be waiting at least another year for a shot at a second round berth. The 30-year-old Australian missed out on a qualifying place last year, but has picked up his form in recent weeks and will doubtless play as if he has nothing to lose.
Andy Murray: -225
Richard Gasquet: +175
Still without a Major to his name, Andy Murray now has to turn his sights to Roland Garros. After putting in all the hard work to reach the final of the Australian Open, it was disappointing to see the Brit so comprehensively beaten. However, after producing his best finish in the tournament last year, you’d have to tip Murray to at least reach the quarterfinals again.
Murray’s first match won’t be an easy one though, according to BetUS. Richard Gasquet is a hometown hero, nicknamed Baby Federer in his formative years. The Frenchman hasn’t had much success in the French Open, especially in previous outings. After reaching Number 7 in the world three years ago, Gasquet has continued to slip down the ranks and now sits at 68th. A few weeks ago, Gasquet would have been at much longer odds, but thanks to his ATP Tour win over Fernando Verdasco on Saturday he is considered an outside chance to cause an upset.
Serena Williams: -5000
Stefanie Voegele: +1200
It’s been a long struggle to get back to World Number 1, but Serena Williams has finally pulled it off. After plenty of controversy regarding Dinara Safina’s long stay at the top of the women’s ranking – despite never winning a Major title – Williams and her sister Venus are back to first and second seeds. Her opener shouldn’t be a struggle, but in a tournament such as this, anything is possible.
Young Stefanie Voegele will face her toughest test tomorrow when she takes on Serena Williams. The Swiss has never qualified for Roland Garros before, but thanks to her best finish at the Australian Open earlier this year the 20-year-old will attempt to cause the biggest upset of the tournament. Voegele has already taken on one of the Williams sisters, losing to Venus in the first round at Wimbledon last year, but Serena is an entirely different package.
Follow the 2010 French Open over the next couple of weeks at BetUS. The online bookmaker will provide you with the latest lines and odds, and for new members you can receive up to 155% in bonuses straight away.
