7/4 Any batsman to score a century
The third one day international between South Africa and England gets underway from Cape Town tomorrow, live on Sky Sports 1 from 12pm and Sky Bet are offering their customers a host of cricket betting opportunities ahead of the start of play.
Collingwood hit an unbeaten century as England took a 1-0 series lead at Centurion.
After his heroics in England's 7-wicket victory in the 2nd ODI scoring an unbeaten 105, England's Paul Collingwood is 9/2 to be England's top batsman in the 3rd ODI and it's 5/6 he outscores South Africa's Jean-Paul Duminy. Following Collingwood's century, it's 7/4 for any batsman to reach three figures tomorrow.
Stuart Broad, who missed the two Twenty20 internationals and the first two one-dayers due to a shoulder injury, is expected to make a return tomorrow. It's 8/11 for 23-year-old to take two or more wickets in the 3rd ODI (evens 0 or 1 wicket). It's 5/1 for any player to take a five-wicket haul and it's 3/1 that the team batting first gets bowled out.
Sky Bet's cricket betting spokesman Tim Reynolds said: "The return of Broad will be a massive boost for the England camp. He is ranked as the 15th best bowler in world cricket according to the official player ratings and has impressive ODI figures of 88 wickets from 55 matches, at an average of 26.59. If he does get selected, then he will certainly give the England bowling attack the boost it needs"
With four of the English team born in South Africa, Sky Bet are offering odds on who will be the top South African-born English cricketer in the 3rd ODI. Jonathan Trott, who hit 87 in the 2nd ODI, is the 2/1 joint favourite along with Kevin Pietersen. It's 9/4 for the England captain Andrew Strauss to be the top batsman and 5/1 Matt Prior.
England are 11/8 to come away from Newlands victorious (4/7 South Africa) and it's 13/8 they go on to claim the five-match series (5/2 South Africa & 5/4 Draw).

2/1 Any player to score a hat-trick
Ahead of this weekend's Barclays Premier football, Sky Bet are offering a host of football betting opportunities including total goals, total red cards and individual match specials. After 21 goals were scored from the seven matches played in the Barclays Premier last Saturday, Sky Bet are offering 5/6 for there to be 20 or more goals scored from the seven matches in the top flight tomorrow (5/6 19 or fewer). It's 2/1 for any player in the Barclays Premier to score a hat-trick this weekend and 5/6 for there to be three or more players to see red (5/6 two or fewer).
This weekend will give both Burnley and Hull another opportunity to gain their first win in the league on the road this season. Burnley are 7/2 to gain three points when they take on West Ham and it's 8/11 that the Clarets fail to win on the road in the league all season. It's 6/5 for Hull to not win on the road all season and 4/1 that both Burnley and Hull fail to record an away win.
Hull will be in a buoyant mood after they overcame Everton 3-2 midweek but they face an uphill task tomorrow of gaining their first away win when they travel to Eastlands to take on Manchester City.
The Citizens, who have drawn their last six league matches and haven't won in the league since overcoming West Ham at the end of September, are 2/7 to gain three points tomorrow (10/1 Hull & 4/1 Draw). It's 12/1 that Mark Hughes' side next win comes when they host the current Barclays Premier leaders Chelsea (5th Dec), 10/1 when they travel to the Reebok Stadium to take on Bolton (12th Dec), 25/1 when they go to White Hart Lane (16th Dec), 16/1 when they host Sunderland (19th Dec) and it's 16/1 that Man City don't gain another three points before Christmas Day.
Sky Bet's Tim Reynolds said: "Mark Hughes will be confident of putting an end to their run of draws this weekend and will be lifted by the news that Brazilian striker Robinho should be fit to feature against Hull. City are five points adrift of Tottenham in fourth place now and can't afford to drop any more points if they are going to stand any chance of qualifying for the Champions League next season."
After scoring 9 past Wigan last weekend, Harry Redknapp's side are 9/4 to fail to score when they travel to the midlands to take on Aston Villa. It's 3/1 for Tottenham to beat Villa and Jermain Defoe, who has scored 11 goals so far this season not to score.

Small 11/8 to beat McDonagh inside the distance
The flamboyant Anthony Small defends his British and Commonwealth light-middleweight titles tomorrow evening at the Robin Park Arena in Wigan, live on Sky Sports 1 and Sky Bet are offering 11/8 for Small to defeat Thomas McDonagh inside the 12 rounds. It's 1/9 for Small to successfully defend his titles and 8/11 that he wins by means of a points decision.
Sky Bet's Tim Reynolds said: "Small is a worthy favourite and will expect to win via a knockout. He has stopped his last five opponents and was extremely impressive in his latest victory over Matthew Hall, who went into the fight as the favourite."
McDonagh, who lost narrowly on points to Londoner Sam Webb in his last fight, is 5/1 to cause an upset and take Small's crown and 10/1 to win on points.

Sky Bet refund Murray bets after bizarre exit
Sky Bet are refunding bets placed on Andy Murray in the ATP World Tour Finals after the Brit was knocked out at the group stage in dramatic fashion. The Harrogate-based firm have refunded all single bets on Murray to win, reach the semi-finals and final and stage of elimination stakes as free bets.
Murray beat Fernando Verdasco in his final round-robin match but after Juan Martin del Potro saw off Roger Federer, the group stage came down to the percentage of games won, with the Argentine edging out Murray by one game.
Sky Bet's tennis betting spokesman Neil Brookes said: "Due to the close call on Murray's exit from the ATP World Tour Finals, we've decided to refund money on outright bets on the Scot as a goodwill gesture. The confusion at the end of the Del Potro/Federer match left even Andy wondering what was going on!
"He'll look to work on his serve over the close season and will hope to improve his ranking and title count in 2010."
Sky Bet are offering odds on how Murray will perform in 2010 and go 11/8 that he wins his maiden Grand Slam in 2010.

Sky Bet pay extra Hennessy place
Sky Bet are paying five places instead of four in the Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup at Newbury on Saturday providing 17 or more run.
The 2007 winner Denman heads the weights and is a 7/2 favourite with Sky Bet to take the Newbury highlight for the second time in three years.
Matt Doyle of Sky Bet said: 'The two non-runners brought the field size down to 19 on Friday but the each-way value concession will stay in place if 17 or more run on D-day for Denman.'
One of four races shown live on Channel 4, the concession goes live from 4pm on Friday.

Ronaldo 6/4 to score on El Clásico debut
This Sunday sees the first eagerly awaited El Clásico of the season and Sky Bet offer 6/4 that Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo will score on his debut league match against Barcelona.
The Harrogate-based firm also offer odds on the other big-name summer signings Kaka (11/4), Benzema (5/2), Alonso ( 6/1), Arbeloa (20/1) and Ibrahimovic (5/4) to score on their El Clásico debuts and go 4/5 that two or more of the sextet find the net (10/11 one or none). 11/4 is available for none of these six players to get their name on the scoresheet on Sunday and it's 8/1 for the game to end in a goalless draw, which hasn't occurred since 1987.
Sky Bet's football betting spokeswoman Helen Jacob said: "Given the amazing attacks of both Barcelona and Real Madrid, a goalless draw on Sunday seems highly improbable and there are a plethora of players hoping to mark their El Clásico debut with a goal."
Barcelona won both matches against their great rivals last season, including a 6-2 demolition derby in Madrid. The result in the Nou Camp was 2-0 and Sky Bet offer odds of 13/2 for a repeat of that scoreline this Sunday.
Madrid currently top La Liga, sitting just one point ahead of the Catalans, and Sky Bet make them 16/5 to win at the Nou Camp. It's 6/1 that Madrid win on Sunday and go on to win the league title.
Barcelona, 4/5 favourites to win on Sunday, are currently unbeaten at home in the league this season, and Sky Bet go 7/4 for them to win the match and go on to retain the title.
