England’s Six Nations Betting OddsThere probably isn’t a more popular annual international rugby competition than the Six Nations Championship. As you probably know, the Six Nations is a successor of the previous Home Nation Championship that was held between the then 4 Nations of the United Kingdom- England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. France was later introduced and the competition was then named Five Nations and then when Italy joined the name changed to Six Nations Championship as we know it today. It is informally known as the European Rugby Championship, since pretty much every European nation that plays rugby participates in it.

The European Rugby Championship has began

Ireland are the current title’s holders, as they won the 2015 tournaments, even though they had an equal number of points as England and Wales. The current Six Nations Championship began on the sixth of February and two rounds have already been played. On the first day of the tournament France beat Italy 23-21 and England beat Scotland 15-9, despite the fact that the Scots had the home advantage. On the next day Ireland and Wales settled for a draw at 16 each at Aviva Stadium in Ireland. In the second round France managed to secure a 10-9 win against Ireland, Wales beat Scotland 27-23, whereas England won away against Italy by an amazing 31 margin. 9 -40 was the final score. Now, the third round is ahead of us and England will meet Ireland at Twickenham Stadium, whereas Wales will play against France, and in the match between the two teams that have never won the Championship, Scotland will play against Italy.

England are Favourites

Due to their form and reputation before the start of the Championship, but also due to their form in the two rounds that have already been played, it can safely be said that England are the first favourites. Bookmakers, based on the odds that they offer, predict that England will win the Six Nations Championship and deny the Irish two titles in a row. The odds for England to win are set at 4/5 at most bookmakers, but you can also find odds at 10/11, 11/13, 8/11 and 5/6. The odds are way lower compared to all the other nations. Only Wales comes close with odds at or around 2.

More Odds for England

A bet that England will get the Grand Slam will allow you to earn around three times more than the amount you have wagered, as the odds are at 4/7, 8/15 and 1/2 at most bookmakers. If you wish to bet that England will get a Triple Crown you will get odds at 11/10. For the following match with Ireland, the odds for England to win are set at 2/4, 2/5, 4/11, whereas the odds for a draw vary from 16 to 22. If you like to play England with a -6 handicap you will get odds 10/11 and 6/4 odds if you play England with a -10.5 handicap.

Sunderland prove they have what it takes to survive

As the battle against relegation hots up, Sunderland show that they may well have the staying power to avoid the drop.

With the Premier League entering its final furlong, the relegation places don’t look quite as cut-and-dried as they did a few weeks ago. Sunderland have been many people’s favourites to go down since the start of the season, and even after the appointment of Sam Allardyce they still looked like a team unworthy of staying in the top flight. But that could all be about to change as Big Sam’s transfer activity looks to have added a new dimension to the side.

The Black Cats put on a thoroughly convincing display against a Manchester United side who are also having a nightmarish season. In the thrilling 2-1 victory over the Red Devils, Allardyce’s men showed the kind of quality and resilience that they desperately require in order to retain their Premier League credentials next term. The win put them within a point of the safety zone and could spell a turn of tide on Wearside.

Allardyce will be satisfied that his business in the January transfer window was shrewd, as the new signings have instantly made an impact and added class to the squad. Certainly, ticket sales to the Stadium of Light will be on the rise at sites like ticketgum if Wahbi Khazri and Lamini Kone continue to impress. It was the two new boys that helped seal the win for Sunderland against Man U, with Khazri playing a hand in both goals-scoring the first and assisting the second from a corner.

Sunderland fans can also be grateful for their fellow relegation rivals slipping up. Newcastle suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of Chelsea which leaves Steve McClaren’s future hanging in the balance. After picking up some talented, albeit expensive, signings in the January window many thought that the Magpies would be on the rise, but this may not turn out to be the case after all.

Norwich also managed to let a 2 goal lead slip away from them, taking only a point away from a tie against West Ham that they really should have won. This could be an omen of things to come as the Canaries may lack the mettle needed to ensure survival in such a fierce battle around the drop zone.

Of all the teams in this dogfight, Sunderland are perhaps the most experienced in this situation, and that could be key to dragging themselves up and out of the pits. For the last few seasons they have faced the drop and overcome exceptional odds to maintain their Premier League status. And with one of the most experienced strikers in the league, Jermain Defoe, spearheading the attack, they have a very good chance of staying up.

The next few months will be a tough, gruelling battle, but Sunderland have what it takes to remain in the Premier League.

Will Mourinho bring success at United?

Manchester United had another disappointing season and it looks like Van Gaal will be sacked at the end of the season. Latest rumors from England suggest that Jose Mourinho will replace the Dutch at Old Trafford and this will change the game at United. A track of the betting history can be seen at bet bind.

It is believed that the Portuguese manager will have a salary of around €20 millions a year. That would have not been enough to convince him if the transfer budget would not be generous.

After Moyes and Van Gaal failures , United prepare a true revolution, hoping that Mourinho will create a team that will dominate Europe same as a few years ago under Sir Alex Ferguson.

The first player on Mourinho’s list is Varane from Real Madrid. The Portuguese manager worked with the defender at Madrid and has a lot of confidence in his abilities. Neymar, Cavani, Muller and Pogba are also on his shortlist.

It remains to see which players will be convinced by Mourinho to join United because there are chances of failing to qualify for next year of Champions League.

There are also a few players that would probably leave Old Trafford in the summer. The first one will probably be Mata who left Chelsea for Manchester because of Mourinho.

Another player could be Fellaini who did not fulfilled the expectations since joining the Red Devils from Everton in 2013.

Could 2016’s Grand National be the biggest yet?

With less than three months until the Grand National, many of the nation’s bookmakers, trainers and racing fans will be looking forward to this top racing event with an added level of excitement.

This is because there have been a number of innovations for the 2016 Grand National that look odds-on to make this the biggest racing extravaganza that the UK has ever seen.

Television exposure

One of the biggest changes to the Grand National in 2016 looks to be the way that the start time of the race has been delayed by one hour to begin at 5.15pm. This move has been made in an bid to maximise the viewing audiences so that the racing event can attempt to achieve the ten million audience viewing figures that were achieved when the race was held during the glory years of the BBC.

However, since Channel 4 have made moves to become the leading horse-racing broadcaster, it has had to compete against the BBC’s football-related content and this move has been welcomed by racing fans with many bookmakers offering odds on how many will tune in to watch this epic racing event.

Female developments

In recent years there have been more than a few tabloid newspapers that have sought to portray the Ladies’ Day events in somewhat unflattering terms. However, this year looks to further the progress of women jockeys as there have been many recent notable occurrences of female success in this traditionally male sporting domain.

One of the most triumphant female performances was by Katie Walsh who came third in the 2012 Grand National on Seabass, and fans can follow the fate of the current female jockeys in the latest Grand National odds that are being updated daily on the Coral website that offers a tempting range of betting options on this fascinating event.

The ultimate racing event

However, despite all of these developments, it’s the sheer scale of the Grand National that makes this racing’s best-loved event. Already tickets for the event are selling at a much faster rate than last year, and it’s expected that even more than 152,000 spectators will attend the Aintree racecourse in during the three days of intense racing, beating last year’s record.

And with the prize money once again topping well over £1 million, it’s expected that the 2016 Grand National will be odds-on for being the best yet!
