MOTOGP BETTING PREVIEW

MotoGP betting is the most popular form of motor cycling punting in the world today. MotoGP is the name by which motor cycling's elite class goes these days following a change, primarily for marketing reasons, in 2002. Out went the 500cc World Championship and in came MotoGP.

Consumer demand for MotoGP betting odds is not as great as that for Formula One prices but that does not stop Centrebet providing its account holders with a number of ways on which to bet on the motor cycle racing category. Whilst Centrebet's MotoGP futures betting options include odds on the championship winner, most punters try there luck at more exotic bets such as win markets and podium odds (top three) on each of the season's events.

Centrebet is the bookmaker of choice for motor sport fans. Car buffs cannot get enough of its Formula One odds, V8 Supercar odds, NASCAR and World Rally Championship books, while bike lovers also like its Speedway Grand Prix prices and Superbikes odds.

MOTOGP BETTING - FAVOURITES

Valentino Rossi has committed to another year on the MotoGP circuit. His legendary status in the sport almost automatically makes him favourite to win, fitness permitting. Comparing greats from different eras is tough but the consensus among motorcycling commentators is that Rossi is without peer. Rossi won his first title in 1997 and has since claimed another 6 titles. Despite marginally losing out to American Nicky Hayden in 2006, Rossi ranks as one of the sport's best riders ever, alongside such legends as Giacomo Agostini (eight titles), Mick Doohan (five) and Kenny Roberts (three). He will be short odds to win his 8th Championship, with 2006 MotoGP winner Nicky Hayden and fellow countryman Loris Capirossi considered his biggest threats.

Full 2007 race day schedules and more rider information can be found at the Official MotoGP site.
