Chelsea 4/1 to win league by 10+ points

Chelsea regained their five-point lead at the top of the Premier League and Sky Bet have cut the Blues to 8/15 (from 8/11) in their 2009/10 Premier League outright betting and to 4/1 to finish clear of the rest by four to six points. It's 4/1 that Carlo Ancelotti's side finish the season 10 points ahead of the runners-up.

Drogba: A thorn in Arsenal's side

Drogba: A thorn in Arsenal's side

Chelsea have not conceded at the Bridge since Steve Hunt scored for Hull in the 28th minute on the opening day of the league and Sky Bet are offering odds on which team will be next to score at the West London fortress. Everton are 11/10 to end Chelsea's 18 unanswered league goal run in all competitions at Stamford Bridge a week on Saturday and it's 14/1 that the Blues keep a clean sheet at home for their next six matches.

Didier Drogba's brace took his league goal tally to 11 and he has been cut to 11/4 (from 9/2) for the Golden Boot.

After their 3-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge, Arsenal are 11 points adrift of Chelsea and with their title hopes evaporating, Sky Bet have lengthened their odds to 9/1 (from 5/1). It's 13/8 that the Gunners end their four-year trophy drought this season.

Colts cut to 11/2 for Super Bowl XLIV

Sky Bet have cut Minnesota to 11/2 Super Bowl XLIV after another impressive win on Sunday night.

Brett Favre threw for a season-high 392 yards and three touchdowns as they routed Chicago 36-10 to move to 10-1 on the season.

San Diego continued their tremendous run as they hammered Kansas City 43-14 and the Chargers are now into 12/1 at Sky Bet.

Indianapolis are unbeaten on 11-0 and they are the 7/2 joint-favourites with New Orleans.

12/1 the field in FA Vase betting

Sky Bet are offering exclusive odds on the 2009/10 FA Vase and have installed Barwell, Whitley Bay, and Spennymoor as co-favourites at 12/1.

The early money has been for the holders Whitley Bay and their title rivals in the Northern League Division One, Spennymoor. Both appear to have kind draws in the third round and the Northern League has always been recognised as an extremely strong division at step five level.

The draw has thrown up some intriguing ties and Sky Bet have priced up all 32, which take place on Saturday.

Cambridge Regional College v Needham Market is the standout match of the round. These two Eastern Counties League Premier division rivals are riding high in the league and Needham will be looking to avenge a recent 4-1 thrashing by the College boys.

Sky Bet's non-league football betting spokesman Mike Triffitt said: "Once again, this looks like an extremely open and competitive event and we have already seen support for a number of teams."

Molinari brothers 8/1 both to win on Euro Tour in 2010

After the Molinari brothers Francesco and Edoardo lifted the World Cup of golf yesterday, Sky Bet have released a range of special markets on how they will perform next season and offer 8/1 that the Italian siblings both win on the European Tour in 2010.

The pair carded a four under par 68 in the final round foursomes at Mission Hills on Sunday and 14/1 is available for them to retain their World Cup title next year.

Francesco is 9/4 with Sky Bet to record exactly one European Tour win in 2010 and 15/2 for two or more victories, whilst elder brother Edoardo is an 11/4 chance for one win and 14/1 for two or more.

Edoardo is 50/1 to win a major whilst his younger brother, who should get into all the majors, is 25/1.

Sky Bet are also offering odds on the brothers' 2010 Race to Dubai performance, with Francesco, who sealed seven top-ten finishes this season to finish 14th in the standings, 7/2 to finish in the top 10 next year and 1/2 to finish in the top 20 again.

European Challenge Tour number one Edoardo is 14/1 to make the top 10 and 5/2 to get in the top 20. Edoardo is 11/4 to finish higher in the money list than Francesco.

Sky Bet's golf betting spokesman Andy Thorp said: "We expect both the Molinari brothers to play well in the coming year and they may well inspire each other to bigger and better things. Francesco will get in to all the big events whilst his older but less experienced brother will have to improve his world ranking to join him.

"However, there will be plenty of events on the schedule in which they will compete against each other."
