Only 3 more sleeps until Super Rugby 2012 and we take a look at the latest betting on the outright market where the Crusaders are rock solid favourites.

We are as usually going big for Super Rugby and links to a host of outright previews can be found at the bottom of this page.

We won’t be posting another outright preview though as the Blues were labeled at 9/1 way back in November of 2011. There has been plenty of betting movement though so let’s take a look at the betting.

OUTRIGHT

Crusaders 33/10 with Sportsbet (generally 3/1)

Blues 7/1 with Ladbrokes (as short as 9/2)

Reds 6/1 with Voltbet and Hollywood

Stormers 10/1 with Betxchange and Sportingbet

Waratahs 12/1 with Sportingbet

Sharks 14/1 with Sportingbet

Bulls 16/1 with Betxchange and World Sports Betting

Chiefs 18/1 with Betxchange and Hollywood

Lions 40/1 with Betxchange and Ladbrokes

Highlanders 33/1 with Voltbet and Sportingbet

Hurricanes 40/1 at Voltbet and Sportingbet

Brumbies 40/1 at Voltbet, Betxchange and Ladbrokes

Rebels 66/1 at Voltbet

Cheetahs 100/1 at Hollywood

Force 100/1 at Sportingbet and Hollywood

There has not been a tremendous amount of change since our last update but there has been solid money for the Crusaders who were 7/2 and Voltbet confirm on Twitter that the Blues, Reds and Bulls have received support in that order.

An interesting price movement which surprises me is the Highlanders who were 66/1 at last look but are now no bigger than 33/1.

One thing is for sure you will do well to shop around because on many teams there are some serious differences in opinion with the Stormers for example as short as 6/1 but as big as 10/1.

A quick look at the New Zealand Conference betting which we won’t preview (because I am already so invested in the Blues)

Crusaders 12/10 at Voltbet

Blues 5/2 at Ladbrokes

Chiefs 7/1 at Voltbet

Highlanders 20/1 at Sportingbet

Hurricanes 20/1 at Sportingbet
