2011 Cricket World Cup – Betting Update

2011 Cricket World Cup

Australia’s Performance in Past Cricket World Cups

Australia has won the last three consecutive World Cups. These were in 2007, 2003 and 1999 as it is only held every 4 years. Obviously they are keen to maintain their title, but there is going to be fierce competition, particularly from host nations India and Sri Lanka.

Current Betting on the 2011 Cricket World Cup Final

There are 14 nations in the Cup and 5 of them are over 500 to 1. These are Zimbabwe, Ireland, Netherlands, Canada and Kenya. If you know something the rest of the world doesn’t know you can get 5,000 to 1 on Kenya winning!

India is currently favourite at $3.65 followed by South Africa at $5, Sri Lanka at $5.50 and Australia at $6. Australia was even longer before they thoroughly beat New Zealand at the last game. Pakistan is $7.50, England is $9, New Zealand and the West Indies are both at $26 and Bangladesh is at $51.

Betting is available on each match in the series. You can bet on the winner or on a range of other things like who will win the coin toss, method of first dismissal, number of runs in the first over, highest opening partnership and most sixes.

Enjoy the Cricket World Cup as it is a long time until the next one. Have a bet on Australia before they get too short, because you’ll hate yourself if they win and you never placed a bet on them!
