Tuesday's Market Moves
Last updated: 24th June 2008
Hamilton: 3/1 for home win
Sky Bet have come up with a whole host of specials for Lewis Hamilton's performance at the British Grand Prix.
The McLaren man had a nightmare race in France - hit with a 10-place penalty on the grid and then a drive-through penalty in the race itself.
He's 3/1 to bounce back in style by winning his home race at Silverstone, 1/3 for a podium finish and 7/2 for the fastest lap.
On a less positive note it's 25/1 he gets another drive-through penalty and 40/1 he retires due to a crash with Kimi Raikkonen.
Ince to shine?
1700: Paul Ince was today officially unveiled as manager of Blackburn Rovers and Sky Bet are offering 7/2 that he will be named manager of the month at some point next season.
It's even-money for Ince to see out his three-year contract at Ewood Park.
Sky Bet are offering a range of markets on how Rovers will fare next season and quote 6/4 for a top half finish (1/2 bottom half), 10/1 for a top six finish, 10/1 for them to win a trophy (Carling Cup, FA Cup, Premier League) and 9/1 for them to be relegated.
Ince has admitted that he will try to keep David Bentley at Ewood Park but with his sights set on playing European football next season, Bentley is now 1/2 with Sky Bet to head to White Hart Lane.
It's 10/1 for the England midfielder to follow Mark Hughes to Man City, who are 2/5 with Sky Bet to finish above Blackburn and 25/1 to win the UEFA Cup.
Oh Brother!
Sky Bet have opened a book on whether the Big Brother housemates will pass their latest shopping task; recreating OK Go's iconic music video 'Here It Goes Again', which involves a complicated treadmill routine.
The bookie doesn't fancy the housemates' chances of pulling off the routine and make it odds-on (1/2) for the housemates to fail, while it's 6/4 for them to pass and win a luxury shopping budget next week.
Sky Bet's Helen Jacob said: "I don't think the hapless housemates have a hope in hell of passing this task but hopefully the laugh they'll have trying will make up for basic rations next week!"
Sky Bet also quote 8/1 for the task to end with a trip to A&E for one of the housemates and it's 4/1 for all four housemates to fall off the treadmills at some point during the routine, which is to be aired live on Wednesday's 'Big Brother's Little Brother'.
