SURFBET.COM.AU: J-Bay kicks off surfbet.com.au bonanza for surfing fans
Wednesday, 14 July 2010 15:40

Sports fans around the globe have been given their greatest chance ever to clean up on top level surfing after surfbet.com.au today announced they would frame markets on all future ASP World Tour surfing events.

Starting with round one of the Billabong Pro starting at Jeffrey’s Bay tomorrow, punters will be able to bet on each and every heat as well as the overall contest winner, winner’s country, winner’s primary sponsor and the traditional  2010 ASP World Champion market. surfbet.com.au_logo.jpg

By opening markets for all events, including the early rounds of each contest, Surfbet.com.au has positioned itself as the market leader in the growing surfing gambling industry, allowing fans to back their favourite surfer to win every time they hit the water.

While surfing will be a powerful niche for the new brand, surfbet.com.au, which offers online and telephone betting options, will be a one stop shop for a wide range of sports betting both domestically and internationally as well as thoroughbred racing, harness racing and greyhounds.

“Surfbet.com.au will offer our customers a VIP service across all areas of sports betting, including thoroughbred, harness and greyhound racing, but we really see ourselves as the market leader in betting on surfing, offering more markets and consistently better odds,” surfbet.com.au general manager Ryan Kay said.

“Punters will be able to watch the surfing live online in one window and have the next heat’s odds available on surfbet.com.au in another window. Surfers around the world have been crying out for this and we are only too happy to be providing the service.”

Another benefit for punters will be the constant updates on the surfbet.com.au facebook page which will carry live and up to date tips, odds and info during contests.

With J-Bay just a day away, there are a number of mouth watering opportunities for punters to line their wallets early.

Last start ASP World Tour winner Jadsen Andre is being offered up at appealing first round odds of $2.20 behind heat favourite and former world champion Andy Irons ($1.80). Gold Coast ripper Jay ‘Bottle’ Thompson is currently paying $3.50 to take out the same heat.

For the outright winner of the J-Bay event, Kelly Slater is an obvious early favourite at $3.35, while last week’s WQS Mr Price Pro winner Jordy Smith is at $4.25. The ever consistent Bede Durbidge is another standout at the juicy odds of $12.

Surfbet is operated by OvertheOdds.com.au licensed in the Northern Territory, Australia by the Northern Territory Government to accept bets by telephone and the Internet on Racing, Sport and Entertainment.
