The Boat Race 2010 Odds Have Oxford Set For Comfortable Victory Over Cambridge
Thursday 01 April 2010 at 11:39
 The Boat Race 2010 Odds make Oxford hot favourites to beat rivals Cambridge. The Boat Race 2010 takes place on Saturday and with Cambridge still holding an overall Boat Race lead over Oxford, the favourites need to win.
Cambridge Lead Expected To Be Cut Back On Saturday
Cambridge have 79 Boat Race victories compared to Oxford's 75 but with four wins in five years it is Oxford who have been closing the gap. Oxford are rated at just 2/5 with Stan James in the Boat Race 2010 Betting Odds, and they are even shorter with other bookies such as Ladbrokes who go just 1/4. It is Ladbrokes who are best priced about an unlikely looking Cambridge victory, they are willing to offer 11/4. There hasn't been a dead heat since 1877 and that is why Ladbrokes again go best price about that outcome, offering a huge 150/1.
Easy Win Expected For Oxford By The Bookies
Ladbrokes are so confident of an Oxford victory they are offering just 10/11 that Oxford win by 3.5 lengths or more. A win for Oxford by 3.25 lengths or less will be classed as a narrow victory and that is 15/8 with Ladbrokes who also offer odds on the winning distance for Cambridge, 2.25 lengths or less is 9/2 with Ladbrokes and 2.5 lengths or more is a big looking 8/1 with Ladbrokes. Both boats sank in 1912 (the year the Titanic also sank) and in 1978 Cambridge's boat finally sank, all things considered the 20/1 with Stan James on a boat to sink could be a bit of a fun bet.
