South Africa might still be the 4/11 favourites to defeat the Lions tomorrow but Paul O’Connell’s men are clawing their way back to close the gap in the first test betting. A patriotic gamble with Paddy Power has seen the odds on a Lions victory shorten from 5/2 to 11/5.

Punters are also continuing to pile into the tasty 9/4 on offer for the Lions to win the three match series, which could see Paddy Power get an almighty mauling for more than €150,000.

Winger Tommy Bowe is 12/1 to score the first try of the match alongside centre Brian O’Driscoll at 14/1 but it’s Paddy Power’s money-back special that has Lions supporters roaring from the roof tops! Paddy Power are pledging to refund all losing try scorer and winning margin bets on the match if Tommy Bowe scores a try at any stage in the game.

Paddy Power, spokesman for the bookie, said: “Looks like the lads have their work cut out in the opening test tomorrow but as we’ve seen so many times before, the underdogs tend to be the ones to watch when it comes to top flight rugby union.” (more…)

South Africa play The Lions at 2.00pm on Saturday 20th June.  You can watch this First Test live on Sky.  Paddy Power have a fantastic money back special for the event.  If Tommy Bowe scores a try at anytime, Paddy Power will refund(upto £200 per customer bet) all losing try scorer and winning margin bets on that match.

South Africa are the hot favourites when the much awaited Lions Test series gets underway next week. Bookie Paddy Power is offering 1/3 for the world champions to win the three match series with Paul O’Connell’s men 9/4 – a price so far proving irresistible to patriotic punters.

The Lions are also proving popular to win the First Test at 5/2, a game that many see as being their best chance of victory as the only match of the three at sea-level. Indeed Paddy Power are offering 5/1 for The Lions to win the First Test and South Africa to come back to win the remaining two games.

A South Africa whitewash is just 5/4 whereas the bookie is offering 16/1 for The Lions to win the series 3-0. The last time the Lions toured South Africa was in 1997 when a Jeremy Guscott drop kick won the series – Paddy Power offer 33/1 for any Lions player to repeat the thrilling finale this time round in 2009.

Paddy Power, spokesman for the bookie, said: “We traditionally fear an Irish or English win in the Six Nations due to the patriotic punt but for the Lions we’ve got money coming from all four countries. If Paul O’Connell’s boys triumph in South Africa, the bookies will be heading for a mauling from Lions punters.”

99!

Lions trips to South Africa have been famously bruising encounters down the years and Paddy Power is betting on which team will have most players sent to the sin-bin over the course of the series. The Lions are 8/11 favourites to South Africa’s evens money for most sin bins whilst Paddy Power are offering 10/3 for two or three Lions sin bins and 12/1 for seven or more. (more…)
