LATEST BETTING PREDICTIONS FOR TENDULKAR, CHELSEA AND BIG BROTHER
Sachin Tendulkar has today broken another record in his illustrious career. The Little Master took to the field this morning in the third Test between Sri Lanka and India, and in doing so claimed his 169th Test match cap, surpassing Steve Waugh’s previous record of playing in 168 Test matches.
The Indian batsman already has over 13,000 Test match runs to his name, including 55 half centuries and 48 tons. And at 37 years of age he has shown no intentions of hanging up his bat just yet.
Sri Lanka currently lead the three-match series 1-0 and after winning the toss this morning Kumar Sangakkara elected to bat. That decision was justified by half centuries from the captain himself, Mahela Jayawardene and Thilan Samaraweera which put Sri Lanka in a commanding position at the end of the first day’s play. Bet365 price both Sri Lanka and the draw at 5/4 with India available to back at 9/2.
Chelsea are reported to be closing in on the signature of Brazilian midfielder Ramires who is expected in south London for a medical this Wednesday. Carlo Ancelotti has been seeking a new midfielder after Joe Cole and Michael Ballack were both allowed to leave the club this summer and Ramires’s tough tackling style could be just what The Blues need.
Chelsea are 6/4 with Sportingbet to retain the Premier League title, with Manchester United 12/5 and Manchester City 9/2.
And finally, John James, Mario and Rachel have been nominated for Big Brother eviction this week by their fellow housemates. The trio will now partake in the Save and Replace task with the winner being saved from eviction at the expense of a fellow housemate whom they must chose to face the public vote.
Corin is now the clear betting favourite to win this year’s Big Brother at odds of 5/4 with totesport – the shortest odds that we have seen for any housemate throughout the whole show. And although he won’t know it himself, John James won’t be going anywhere this week even if he does face the public vote, he is the 11/4 second-favourite to become the Big Brother 2010 winner.
