Ashes Series Betting Odds Make Australia The Odds On Favourites
Tuesday 09 November 2010 at 11:20
 The latest Ashes Series Betting Odds have Australia as the odds on favourites to win back the Ashes from England despite some very patchy recent form from the Aussies. It has seemed recently that Australia were having a bit of a transitional phase and that they could be there for the taking but they remain a very good team on home soil and that could be a crucial advantage in the Ashes Odds.
England Looking To Retain Ashes For First Time In Over Twenty Years
England may be the holders of the Ashes but that means they have to travel to Australia in order to retain the Ashes and they haven't managed that since 1987. Stuart Broad's dad played in the England side that retained the Ashes on that occasion which shows what a long time ago it was so it is no surprise that England are as big as 2/1 with Bet365, who offer up to £200 in free bets to new customers, to win in Australia. To be fair, if there is a time England can retain the Ashes it is now, England may not get a better chance for many years so that 2/1 with Bet365 and SkyBet should prove popular. Australia are a shade odds on to win back the Ashes, they can be backed at 10/11 with Stan James whilst the draw is 11/2 with Blue Square and 888Sport.
Correct Score Odds Suggest It Will Be A Very Tight Series
The first test gets underway on the 25th November and Australia are slightly less likely to win that than the entire series, you can get 11/10 on Australia in the first test at Stan James. A winning start for England would be huge and that is 9/4 with Bet365 and SkyBet whilst the draw is 3/1 with Bet365. The eries correct score is proving a popular bet with a 2-1 win for Australia the slight favourite at 8/1 with Ladbrokes and Paddy Power, just ahead of the 2-2 draw which is 9/1 with William Hill. England's best hope of a win looks to be a 2-1 score and that is 10/1 with Paddy Power and Victor Chandler. Ricky Ponting should be a key player for the Aussies with all his Ashes experience, he is the favourite to be the Top Batsman at 7/1 with Sportingbet, England's best hope could be Andrew Strauss, he is 8/1 with Stan James.
