Ladbrokes Racing Markets and Sports Betting Odds

Three codes run almost every day of the year in this country, and a corporate bookmaker lives or dies on how it prices them. Thoroughbred meetings from Randwick and Flemington down to provincial and country tracks are covered with fixed odds, with markets on the majors — the Melbourne Cup, Cox Plate and The Everest — opening months out. Harness racing through the Inter Dominion series and greyhounds at Wentworth Park and Sandown fill the midweek and twilight slots.

Same-race multis, each-way pricing and market-mover displays are the features punters compare hardest. Fixed odds are the default rather than tote pricing, so the price you take is the price you keep. The full Ladbrokes review covers how that stacks up against the rest of the product.

The sport book follows the Australian calendar rather than a European one. Line, total and player markets run across the AFL from the season opener to the Grand Final at the MCG, and across the NRL through to State of Origin and the October decider. The summer brings Test and Big Bash cricket, the Australian Open at Melbourne Park and A-League soccer, with basketball, motorsport and international soccer sitting underneath.

In-play betting is available, though Australian law restricts online in-play on some sports to telephone placement — worth knowing before you build a strategy around it.
