The British and Irish Lions may be undefeated on their 2013 tour, but that hasn’t stopped punters from supporting the Brumbies at long odds to defeat the visitors at Canberra Stadium tonight.

The Brumbies have been backed from $6.00 into $4.70 with Sportingbet.com.au, while the Lions’ odds of victory have drifted from $1.13 out to $1.20.

“It’s a second-string Lions team so punters are sniffing an upset and they are rallying behind the Brumbies,” Sportingbet Australia spokesman Andrew Brown said.

“We’ve taken a few four-figure bets on the Brumbies to win with the points start but we’ve also taken a stack of $400 and $500 bets on the Brumbies to win,” Brown said.

The British and Irish Lions have been well supported to win the series against the Wallabies though, with their odds of series victory being slashed from $1.80 into $1.55 with Sportingbet. Australia is $2.55, while a drawn series is $26.00.

“There’s also been plenty of interest in the Lions sweeping the Wallabies 3-0 and we’ve cut those odds from $5 into $3.15,” Brown said.

The Lions are $1.60 favourites with Sportingbet to win the opening test in Brisbane on Saturday night, with Australia $2.30.
