The University Boat Race is scheduled to take place on Saturday 7 April at 2.15pm where the two crews will row for just over 4 miles as they battle it out for the annual bragging rights and the competition seems to get fiercer every year.

It is Oxford who have been in the ascendancy recently, with the dark blues claiming victory in 2008, 2009 and 2011. Stan James make them favourites to be triumphant again in 2012, with the bookmaker offering odds of 1/2 about the holders retaining their crown.

Cambridge will be out for revenge and it wasn’t so long ago that the light blues were completely dominant when it came to the Boat Race, with seven consecutive victories being scored between 1993 and 1999.

However, they are currently fighting a losing battle and Stan James offer 6/4 about Cambridge claiming what would be just their third win in the past eight years.

In addition to which crew win the 2012 Boat Race, you can also bet on the Winning Margin, with Stan James expecting it to be over three lengths with their even money quote.

There are also odds on whether a New Record will be made which naturally comes down to weather conditions, while there are other betting markets such as which side will win the toss and whether or not any of the boats will sink.

Several bookmakers will also offer live In-Play betting on the 2012 Boat Race which means you can wait for the action to start before placing a wager.  Bet live in play on the boat race at firms like Bet365
