Boat Race Betting 2019

Race schedule for the American Power Boat Association. Check out the event schedule for boat racing in the United States and Canada. The Boat Race 2019 took place on 7 April 2019. Held annually, The Boat Race is a side-by-side rowing race between crews from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge along a 4.2-mile (6.8 km) tidal stretch of the River Thames in south-west London. This was the 74th women's race and the 165th men's race, and, for the fourth time in the history of the event, the men's, women's and both reserves.

So when it comes to Boat Race betting, what exactly can you bet on? Well, there’s actually loads of stuff, surprisingly, like, ‘either boat to sink’ (the last time it happened was in ’78, though Cambridge women came close in 2016), ‘dead heat’ (there’s been just one in history), ‘to win by lengths’, ‘first to milepost.

Here they are. The same lads and lasses have qualified for the final again, for the 165th straight year (73rd for the women’s), Oxford and Cambridge, getting ready to do battle once more on the waves of the Thames.

Before we get on to the Boat Race betting stuff, I just want to talk about how much of a sorry sight the other Universities must be; not one upset has occurred in the early knockout rounds ever since the Boat Race’s inception way back in 1829.

They really are doing something wrong, that’s for sure. Maybe they need an injection of cash, a Roman Abramovich type figure to come in and sign the best rowers from around the world. Sure you’ll get the purists saying they’ve bought the cup, like critics of Man City do now, but at least it will make a little bit more competitive, eh?

And to these cynics who claim that there are no knockout rounds, I say what proof do you have? Where is your evidence? Are you certain in your protestations? Or is this another one of your sly tricks?

Boat Race Betting 2019 Predictions

Every final has a knockout round system. If no other side enters such tournament that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t like to enter, it’s that they know already that they will be defeated by the unstoppable Oxbridge force.

How would you, Nottingham University, even dare try to compete with 83-time winners Cambridge? And you Loughborough, how could you claim to know more about the Thames than 80-time winners Oxford? You can’t, not without your very own Roman Abramovich.

So back off cynics, this is Oxford and Cambridge’s time. Boy do they get enough grief as it is, can’t we just let them have this one all on their own? Yes, yes we can.

So when it comes to Boat Race betting, what exactly can you bet on? Well, there’s actually loads of stuff, surprisingly, like, ‘either boat to sink’ (the last time it happened was in ’78, though Cambridge women came close in 2016), ‘dead heat’ (there’s been just one in history), ‘to win by lengths’, ‘first to milepost’, ‘to break course record’, and loads more too.

And which bookmakers are offering the best Boat Race betting odds right now?

Well, those ones in the table below, of course.

Aged 46, James Cracknell will become the oldest man in history to crew in the University Boat Race this weekend.

Cracknell, a double Olympic gold medallist, is a mature student at Peterhouse College, Cambridge. A six-time world champion, he won Olympic gold in both the 2000 Sydney and the 2004 Athens Games alongside former Dark Blue, Sir Matthew Pinsent, who will umpire Isis Goldie this year.

Rowing alongside Cracknell in the Cambridge boat will be stroke Natan Wegrzycki-Szymczyk, Freddie Davidson, Sam Hookaway, Callum Sullivan, Dara Alizadeh, Grant Bitler and bow Dave Bell. Matthew Holland will cox the Light Blues. Including those with dual nationalities, there are 12 different countries representing Cambridge this year so it will truly be a multi-cultural effort if they manage to reach the finish under Chiswick Bridge ahead of the Oxford boat.

There are eight nations represented in the Oxford boat and their average height and weight is almost identical to that of Cambridge. Charlie Pearson will bow and will row alongside Patrick Sullivan, Achim Harzheim, Ben Landis, Tobias Schroder, Felix Drinkall, Charlie Buchanan, Augustin Wambersie. Toby de Mendonca is the cox. They are a much younger crew so experience will likely come into play.

Cambridge won last year’s men’s race to extend their overall lead to 83-80 in the 190-year history of the event with the only dead-heat so far coming in 1877, before the days of the photo-finish. The Boat Race is contested over 4.2miles of the River Thames between Putney Bridge and Mortlake.

University Boat Race History

First contested in 1829, the original boat race took place at Henley-on-Thames when Cambridge wore pink instead of their traditional light blue. The second race didn’t take place until 1836 and races were irregular over the next 25 years as arguments over venue were commonplace – Oxford preferred Henley and Cambridge had more success when the race took place between Westminster and Putney. It wasn’t until 1856 that the University Boat Race became an annual event and the existing course was adopted in 1864. The Cambridge boat has sunk three times and Oxford twice but mild weather and light winds are forecast this year so, barring collisions, there should be no mishaps this time.

Approximately a quarter of a million spectators line the banks of the Thames to watch this annual nod to the days when young men still dreamed of empires and the promise of an unexplored world. Some would argue that it’s an outdated tradition but it’s still a spectacle, even if advertising hoardings and not chaps twirling their caps make up most of the backdrop nowadays. The crews will draw their ‘station’ on the morning of the race and will start off on either the Middlesex or Surrey bank of the river.

Cambridge are a best 1/3 with Coral to repeat last year’s win and the same firm are offering 150/1 that there is only the second dead-heat in history – the Dark Blues of Oxford are a best 3/1. The women’s race will precede the men’s race this year by approximately one hour.
