World Cup Update
*****MEDIA RELEASE*****MEDIA RELEASE***** HO-HUM – THE PRELIMS ARE NEARLY OVER As the preliminary rounds of the Rugby World Cup draw to a close very little has changed at the top of the betting market at TABSportsbet. When the first of the 40 preliminary games got underway on October 10 the All Blacks were favourites from England and the Wallabies with France fourth pick. And although the prices have changed marginally, the current order is exactly the same with New Zealand at $2.35, England at $2.85, Australia are $4.25 and France, who are the biggest movers in the betting, are at $7.50 after we gave $14.00 pre tournament. Although their have been a lot of bets placed on Australia and to a lesser extent New Zealand, two of the bigger investments have been on France and England pre- tournament. One English fan got in early and had $2,000 on his team in April at a quote of $5.00 whilst a French punter waited until just before the first game to place $4,000 on the Tricoleurs at $15.00 to collect $60,000 if the French can go one better than their runner-up position in the 1999 World Cup. CURRENT WORLD CUP BETTING NEW ZEALAND $2.35 ENGLAND $2.85 AUSTRALIA $4.25 FRANCE $7.50 SOUTH AFRICA $26.00 IRELAND $51.00 $151.00 or better the rest
