Yeah I am

Have a bet for 500 INR with a friend that Mitchell Johnson will take more wickets than Graeme Swann. Easy money for me, IMO

Tom 1972 · 07-11-2010, 01:55 PM

I've got a $20 with a Pommy mate of mine Australia VS England in terms of retaiing/winning the Ashes.

And he has given me a 1 Test headstart!!!!

eg: 2-2 result and I win the bet.

Quite happy with the start.

Just bet $50 Hussey won't last the series. Fairly good chance here. Reckon he'll be gone after the third test

Matt Prior paying 15/1 to be top English batsman is a decent bet I think.

Yeah maybe. He's not a great player of pace though. Would be a much better bet in the subcontinent.

Australia are getting awfully close to amazing value for the series, but I don't want to load up a lot of money on them because it'll make the whole series excruciatingly difficult to watch. Want to watch it without a care in the world.

What odds you getting down there? Best on Oz I can see is 10/11 which is a long way off amazing given England are still available at 2/1.

Depends on what one believes the percentages of Australia winning are.

In my view Australia are at least a 50% chance. So anything significantly over $2 will be value in my view. Australia are inching towards $2.20 on Betfair. Some good performances by England in the practice matches should ensure it goes over that.

Edit: Sorry that's the first test odds

Jono · 08-11-2010, 01:45 PM

Sorry excuse me, I'm looking at the first test odds, not series odds. Rookie error.

Don't think Australia will get to $2.20 before the first test, which is what I'd say is value for the series.

Howe_zat · 09-11-2010, 11:19 AM

I think Aus at 2.20 is damn good value, anything over 1.8 I'd say is worth a go. Maybe that's just me being pessimistic.

I betted on England in 2009 at 5.3, I wish they'd stop getting backed so as I can find a good deal on them again.

Athlai · 09-11-2010, 03:35 PM

Going to put on a few cheeky multi bets revolving around Broad being England's top wicket taker.

GotSpin · 22-11-2010, 03:58 AM

Just put another bet on with a mate

Gave him 7.5-1 on Hussey making two centuries at $50

chalky · 24-11-2010, 12:06 PM

Managed to get 7.0 on Siddle to be the Aussie top wicket taker in the series before it was announced that Bollinger was being released odds shortened to 5 at the mo so quite happy with that.

Am thinking of putting a few quid on KP to be overall top run scorer at 8.0 got a gut feeling he will do very well.

Gonna bet on Haddin because I can.
