Punters seem sure that the Sydney Thunder’s losing streak will continue, with over $60,000 bet on their opponents, the Melbourne Renegades, with online bookmaker.
Opening at $1.51, they are now into $1.45, with the Thunder virtually attracting little interest as the $2.78 outsiders.
In some good news for the Sydney locals, the Sixers are $1.73 favourites to restore some pride to the Harbour City and beat the Hobart Hurricanes ($2.12).
However it matters little, with more money coming for the Melbourne Stars to win the title at $2.25 than every other team put together.
“The Thunders and Stars couldn’t be further apart in the eyes of punters. They have given up on the Sydney team but continue to bet into the Stars to go all the way. Given they are undefeated, who could blame them,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.
Despite the Thunder being friendless, they are still slight $1.85 favourites to record a win before the A-League’s easy beats the Melbourne Heart ($1.95).
