She doesn’t represent great value but a bet on Shanaze Reade at 2/5 to win the women’s BMX race at the Olympics will almost certainly give you a return.

The 19-year-old is unbeaten in BMX races for about 10 years and recently retained her World Championship in fine style. She quite simply is unbeatable in this discipline and barring any mishaps she will win gold.

If only all Olympic bets seemed that straight forward. The US men’s and women’s basketball teams are probably the next best ‘certain bets’ but there is a nagging doubt with the mens squad after only claiming bronze in Athens. That said they were impressive in beating China in the opening fixture, as were the women also beating the host nation convincingly.

If you’re looking for value the Great Britain’s men’s hockey team looked in good form on their opening match and at 9/1 could be worth a bit each-way. They are in a tough group but have the talent to go a long-way.

Sticking with bets GB related the British men’s eight in the rowing look good for a medal in Sunday’s final. They will have to beat a very strong Canadian side to win gold but at 4/1 are worth a bob or two. Also if you can find a bookie offering them to finish in the top three make sure you get on.

We have been betting on Australian and international sports for many years, and have used nearly every bookmaker and TAB in Australia to do so. We can say this without a word of a lie. Based on our experience, we have very definate views on why you should NOT bet with a TAB, like sportstab.com.au or racetab.com.au

To be honest, the main reason is VALUE. These TABs, like www.SportsTAB.com.au or tabonline.com.au, don’t give the punter much value for money. Their horse racing Tote prices are normally way behind what the bookies offer, and this is normally a 100% rule, even if just before the jump of a race you see the odds look better at www.TABOnline.com.au, by the time the race is run you’ll find all of the last second value punters have thrown their money behind the value runner and the payout ends up very poor.

You are much better off visiting a site like Mark Read’s IASbet or Sportingbet Australia. Both of these sites offer you MULTIPLE ways to get the best odds available - either by betting best bookie price fluctuation, best Tote payout from around the country, or even a mixture of both. This leaves sites like www.UniTAB.com.au for dead, not to mention the www,NSWTAB.com.au

The other BIG reason not to bet on horse racing OR sports with a State TAB like WWW.TABONLINE.COM.AU or WWW.SPORTSTAB.COM.AU is because these TAB sites don’t offer the massive bonuses that you can get at other bookmakers. By visiting an online bookmaker like IAS Bet or Sportingbet Australia, you’ll be sure to get bonuses of up to $500 in FREE BETS!
