The odds of New Zealand winning this weekend’s Auckland Nines have been slashed from $6 into $4.25 at Sportingbet after a string of big wagers for the homeside.
A bet of $20,000 and another of $15,000 are among the high-volume of wagers for New Zealand to win the inaugural tournament.
“They’ve been by far and away the best backed team and they are our worst way by a long way,” Sportingbet’s Andrew Brown said.
New Zealand are favourites in front of Gold Coast ($11 into $8), Penrith ($11 into $8), Cronulla ($17 into $9) and Newcastle ($17 into $9).
