Rugby convert Israel Folau is proving popular in one of Sportingbet’s markets of ‘2014 predictions’, with punters cutting his odds of breaking the Waratahs record for most tries in a season from $7 into $4.
In other 2014 special markets, Sportingbet makes it even money that Australian cricket captain Michael Clarke will score a test match double century.
The odds are also in favour of more Australian golfing success, with Sportingbet offering $3.25 that an Aussie will win a major this year.
In AFL, punters can debate whether Buddy Franklin will kick over or under 4.5 five-goal-hauls ($1.90 each) in his first season for the Sydney Swans.
In NRL, Ben Barba is $2.50 to be selected to play for Queensland in 2014 and it’s $1.90 each of two as to whether the Canberra Raiders will win over or under 7.5 games.
Australian motor sport fans will be pleased to learn that Sportingbet makes it $1.70 that Daniel Ricciardo will win at least one F1 race in 2014.
