All they want for Christmas is…..a win!
It’s been a very long time between drinks for both the Sydney Thunder and Melbourne Heart and now online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au is pitting them up against each other to see who’ll put their long suffering fans out of their misery and win a game first.
The Thunder are the $1.70 favourite to end their 14-game skid and enjoy that winning feeling first, with the Heart the $2.10 outsider.
“Sitting on the bottom of tables is the norm for these two right now so it’s no surprise the Thunder and Heart are at the bottom of our markets and at the biggest prices to win the Big Bash and A-League crowns this season,” Sportsbet’s Ben Hawes said.
The Thunder are out to $12 to win the Big Bash and the Heart are out to their biggest price to win the A-League since the season started, drifting from $41 to $67 after losing to the Melbourne derby at the weekend.
