Melbourne Cup Betting Gains Momentum With Race That Stops A Nation Less Than Twelve Hours Away
Monday 02 November 2009 at 18:00
Melbourne Cup Betting has been massively popular this week and with the race due to take place at 3pm in Melbourne (4am in the UK) on Tuesday, the event known as ‘The Race That Stops A Nation' will attract a worldwide audience.
Viewed Still Edging Alcopop For Betting Favouritism
The home team looks extremely strong this year, the betting is headed by last year's Melbourne Cup winner Viewed, who also took the trial for the race, the Caulfield Cup, in impressive fashion. Viewed is 9/2 with Stan James and William Hill to win the race and that puts him just in front of the second favourite who is Alcopop, rated a 5/1 chance by Stan James and Ladbrokes.
Roman Emperor Well Backed And Master O'Reilly A Nice Each Way Bet
It looks a really open race this year, any of the well fancied horses holds a massive chance. Roman Emperor has been very well backed over the past week and is now best price 8/1 with Bet365, who offer up to £200 in free bets to people who open a new account. At 10/1 with VC Bet and SkyBet you can back Shocking and Master O'Reilly looks a decent bet at 12/1 with Sportingbet and SkyBet.
