The British and Irish Lions may have blown the chance of winning all ten of their tour matches by going down 14 to 12 to the ACT Brumbies last night, but punters continue to rally behind the visitors to win the first test against the Wallabies on Saturday night.
“There’s been no reaction at all to the loss from our punters as they’re fully aware it will be a completely different side that lines up against Australia in Brisbane,” Sportingbet Australia spokesman Andrew Brown said.
“The Lions have been supported from $1.65 into $1.60 to win the first test and their odds of winning the series have been cut from $1.80 to $1.55,” Brown said.
The Wallabies are $2.30 outsiders with Sportingbet to win the first test, and $2.55 to win the series. A drawn series is $26.00 with Sportingbet.
The Lions have also been heavily supported from $5.00 into $3.25 with Sportingbet to win the series against the Wallabies 3-0.
