Around the world

I've noticed the Australian bookies Centrebet often have a big variance on prices from the British bookies, as well as offering markets on different events- the "Australian of the Year" looks to be an interesting betting proposition - strangely no cricketers in there this year, noone likes to see that. I got most of the way to opening an account with them but there was a problem with the deposit so I left it. Looking at bookies around the world for the Miss World competition there is a huge variance in prices, and I will look next year at opening up some overseas accounts for value in international competitions. It was obvious with the Ashes that the best prices on England were always with Centrebet - American and French racing is a slightly different story, as the tote/pm are generally available - but it will probably pay to look abroad for fixed odds prices, the football World Cup will certainly be a ripe market for national variance.
