Aust. Vs Sth Africa - Test Series

[G]

As I stated earlier, I dont think there is a need to bet on Test Cricket before a ball is bounced.
Sure there are times when one team steam rolls the opposition from the start and you miss getting on but it is more than made up for with Tests like this.

- Betfair is like a Godsend

[Sheik Yerbouti]

At the risk of ridicule & the way this game ebbing & flowing my only bet is a small punt on Aust @ the $13.50. There is a bit of weather around but hard to read the radar if the wind swings s/w as it does'nt record any rain out at sea.
Your right G, my new years resolution is to get a betfair account going & learn the ducks guts on its workings, especially when the Power start chipping sideways with a 5 goal lead.

[Dutchy]

Ponting to make more than Katich 2nd inn

[another grub]

eags may have lost his cricket mantle.......

[another grub]

why is the draw so short ..... $2.50 - $2.60 fav. range?????

weather doesnt look that bad.... and if they did happen to lose a little time they would still make it up.....

betfair here I come......

[Dutchy]

Yeah Draw very very short, maybe based on believing AUS cant take 20 wickets, but I know SA can and cant believe Im seeing them at $3.60

Ill go again

BACK SA Win
2 Units @ $3.60

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Also backed the Saffies but alas @ a tad over 22/10 on IAS.
I'll hit the post office early & if they can get my Betfair account going early enough will also lay the draw.

edit - done, hit the PO at 9, able to have a punt straight away, laid the draw at 6/4.

[another grub]

draw getting out now (thank god)...... need more wickets!!!!

[Johno37]

i was gonna back aussie at end of the play yesterday but didnt have the balls... wish i did now

[Browny25]

Sorry I meant Sth Africa..

Still think they will win series...

AUS will win in Sydney but SA to win in Perth and Melb

I am hating myself at the moment!!!

Why didnt i just go back this!

[Johno37]

did u come back from teh future to write that original comment? coz it is pretty spot on so far.....

mate from work needs it to be a draw tho and he wins a 5grand all up

dunno what else he had in it tho

[Wedgie]

I noticed South Africa are paying $10 and Australia $2.90 (obviously the draw is fav, now at something like $1.74) yet I stumbled across this "predictor" which basically gives the Aussies and South African's equal chance of winning.
It also means the draws a bit short too although thats what I think will happen.

interesting link. doesn't look like it is taking into consideration that SA are reduced to 9 batters though

He most probably took Grubs & mine lay bets.

[Dutchy]

Hussey most runs 2nd Inn
0.75 Unit @ $5.50

[another grub]

I think the $5.50 is BIG unders dutchy......... given that Aus only need 200 more then a decleration will appear..... Hussey $7 sportsbet.

I think the approach by Hayden was the right one late in the day.... get a few runs before they get you.... that pitch is a mine field.... and the draw simply WONT happen.... $2.70 draw TAB... anyone can have $4 with me....

[Dutchy]

but as you said the pitch is a mine field, 2 quick wickets and MR Cricket is in smashing em everywhere!

[another grub]

I can only see 1 result in this game.... S Afr can not last 4 sessions on this deck... AUS still $1.72

[another grub]

Huss... needs to play some shots dutchy.... decleration coming. .....


SA 2nd inns.....

caught any other $2.35
lbw $3.75
bowled $3.75

fair quotes given the deck
