In terms of boxing i can't name many off the top of my head. NZ doesn't really have that many betting options tbh. However when Joey Johns got injured you could guarantee the punters would start backing against the Knights. They would go from big favourites to unders very quickly. NZ rugby it happens quite regularly as well, punters love to back their home town teams.
This fight is still going ahead according to the promoter >>> THE heavyweight fight between Sonny Bill Williams and South African Francois Botha has been rescheduled for February South African promoter World Sport Promotions said overnight that Williams had undergone surgery on a chest muscle injury and that an exact date would be worked out after it meets with broadcaster Fox Sports. The fight is due to take place in Australia. "We wish Williams a speedy recovery and hope that he is able to return to training soon," said Thinus Strydom of WSP.

I was at a country trots meeting once and I was leaving early... The track had a black out as I was starting my car - in the car I heard the result of Wenty Park Dogs. I slipped back into the betting ring and they were still taking bets... The three bookie's I got on with never took another bet from me again... You only get one of those in a lifetime.
