Melbourne Cup 2009 Betting Odds have an open look about them with Viewed, last year's winner and the current favourite, just ahead of the likes of Alcopop and Roman Emperor.
Last Year's Winner Could Go In Again
Many bookies make Viewed and Alcopop the joint favourites but at best price Viewed just edges favouritism. You can get 9/2 on Viewed at Stan James, William Hill and Sportingbet whilst Alcopop is best priced 5/1 with Ladbrokes. Interestingly Paddy Power make Alcopop their 7/2 favourite with Viewed at 4/1. One thing the bookies do agree on is Roman Emperor is the third favourite at 8/1 with Bet365 and Boylesports after a good run in the Caulfield Cup, behind the winner Viewed.
Interesting Runners At Bigger Prices
Many punters will be looking at the bigger priced Melbourne Cup Runners for a good each way bet, the best of those could be Master O'Reilly who is 12/1 with Paddy Power and SkyBet after running on well at the end of the Caulfield Cup. Another interesting big priced runner is Changingoftheguard who was favourite for the Ebor handicap at York and the early favourite for the St Leger at Doncaster. Changingoftheguard is a big price at 20/1 with VC Bet and Blue Square. For a great free bet on the Melbourne Cup, open a Bet365 account where you can get up to £200 in free bets!
