Tiger Airways is the dominant favourite at $1.08, with Tiger Woods the outsider at $7.00.

The earliest Tiger Airways can resume operations in Australia is August 1, while Tiger Woods is expected to mark his return to golf in early August.

“We believe Tiger Airways will take to the skies before Tiger Woods tees it up in a PGA event,” sportsbet.com.au’s Haydn Lane said.

“Tiger Woods is still a little while off hitting the fairways and you’d think Tiger Airways can improve their safety standards and become friends with CASA again before then.

“However, the early money has been on Tiger Woods from punters who believe the Airways version of Tiger could be forced into extinction.”

Sportingbet have extended its relationship with the Brisbane Broncos by announcing a record new three year sponsorship which will see its name appear on the top back panel of their playing jersey.

Sportingbet have been a proud sponsor of the Broncos for the past two years.

Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said he was confident the partnership would be beneficial for both parties.

“We have been a sponsor of the Broncos for two years but we have significantly upgraded the deal and extended it until the end of 2013,” Sullivan said.

“We were the first bookmaking company to be on an NRL jersey and this commitment shows how much faith we have in the Broncos brand.

“Sports betting, and NRL in particular, is a major growth area and this is the perfect way for Sportingbet to promote our brand and contribute back to Rugby League at the same time.”

Sportingbet is an approved betting provider of the NRL which includes an integrity agreement as well as contributing financially to the NRL.

“Sponsoring a major sporting club is an obvious fit for Sportingbet and the Broncos and NRL are one of, if not the premium brand in Australian sport,” Sullivan said.

“Brisbane is a one club town who have tremendous loyalty from the Brisbane fans and we don’t see that changing any time soon.”

A: Yes, we have recently updated the mobile site to include tote multis, you can access this either via “Multiples” on the home screen, or on the specific track listings.

The Betbox is a touch screen computer which provides access to Sportsbet.com.au’s wagering services across the internet. Sportsbet.com.au operates under the jurisdiction of the Northern Territory Government and the website Sportsbet.com.au is regulated by the Northern Territory Racing Commission (“NTRC”) which has approved the Betbox.

The recent introduction of amendments to the Unlawful Gambling Act 1998 (NSW), which is about to become law, is designed to prevent Sportsbet.com.au and hotels in NSW from operating a Betbox from retail venues in the State of NSW. The new law was rushed through Parliament without any consultation with Sportsbet.com.au, and to our knowledge, the hotel industry in NSW.

In May this year, the NSW State Government advised Sportsbet.com.au that the operation of the Betbox would not be regarded as contravening NSW gaming and wagering laws.

As a result of this assurance from the NSW Government, Sportsbet.com.au has installed a number of Betbox units in licensed premises throughout NSW.

Sportsbet.com.au views the action by the NSW State Government to prohibit the operation of the Betbox in NSW is a clear case of discriminatory protectionism, preventing free trade and commerce between the states and territories of Australia, and is designed solely to protect the NSW TAB from interstate competition.

Sportsbet.com.au intends to vigorously challenge the validity of this new legislation once it becomes law and will be requesting that the NSW State Government not enforce the provisions of the amended Act whilst the legality of the law is under legal challenge.

A: Not just yet, but the mobile site will be updated to include all of these soon.

has refunded all bets placed an Australia to be successful.

“It’s fair enough to get beaten but to receive just one vote in the first round clearly states that we were never in with a chance. The committee deserves a red card.” said sportsbet.com.au’s Matthew Campbell.

To make matters worse for the Australian delegation, Japan received three votes in the opening round and they were given no chance of winning the process.

“Our members place bets knowing their selection has a chance at whatever the odds dictate. Australia had no chance. We were robbed and our members deserve their money back.” said Campbell.

The move to refund the bets continues sportsbet.com.au’s determination to give its members a fair go and to reward them via “justice payouts”.

On Thursday, the NRL stripped the Storm of two premierships, three minor premierships, imposed a $500,000 fine and ordered the club to pay back $1.1 million in prize money for systematic rorts of the salary cap totalling $1.7 million over five years.

The major betting agency withdrew its wooden spoon market several weeks ago, and will not be affected by punters making late bets on who will finish last.

Centrebet’s Neil Evans says refunding those premiership market bets is a goodwill gesture involving about about $40,000.

“We were actually amazed at the magnitude of what’s taken place here with the Storm, and certainly they’re a very popular club as far as the betting goes in a lot of different markets,” he said.

“The first thing we did, and we thought straight away, was to refund all bets made on the Melbourne Storm, to win the 2010 Premiership.

“Now that might extend to other markets as well, but that’s where the bulk of the money is.”

Mr Evans says the fallout will have significant consequences for the betting market.

“The difficulty is of course that the Melbourne Storm are being coupled into the AFL, with a lot of premiership doubles, and those sort of exotic and sort of novelty markets,” he said.

“[The implications are] very, very wide reaching, but certainly that’s the main one that punters had backed the Storm at any time, whether that was six months ago, or yesterday to win the comp, all monies go back.”

The Masters is favourite at $1.55, followed by the Arnold Palmer Invitational at $2.25. He is listed at $101 to announce his retirement from golf.

“It’s really anyone’s guess, although we think the two most likely events are the Masters or the Arnold Palmer Invitational, where he is the defending champion,” said Sportsbet.com.au’s Haydn Lane.
