Now, the Aussies should win. They have an excellent record at the Gabba, about 85% wins, 15% draws.
Question- do we get on the draw @ $4.50, & hope the Aussies blow out to better than $2 at some stage of the test, & save?
Or do we see if the Aussies win price drifts, & jump on then?
Thoughts gentlemen (especially Mal, who appears to be AWOL)...

& for some value, 1st dismissal of the 1st Innings- Caught Behind @ $4

well not a big punter on actual cricket games, however they are great to trade on Betfair as the pools are in the millions with all the Indian punters...almost tempting to take England and hope they have a good first session and the lay off for a profit.

Ive taken some series bets -

Andrew Strauss - Top runscorer @ $12-00 and for top scorer for England @ $4.10 (less face it good odds considering they will bat twice in most tests!)

Multis -
Strauss top runs into Warne top wickets @ $21-00
Langer top runs into Warne top wickets @ $18-00

I reckon Strauss is a class above the other England bats, if he has a good series I should do OK, Warney is a shoe in for most wickets at $2.30.

Lookin at the Betfair market its interesting to see that Halfway through the 4th day there has been $24m traded on the match odds alone...from the time Ive been watching about $1.5m in the last hour and half!!!!!

Current Odds -

Aust $1.05
Draw $21-
Eng $350-

Centrebet is -

Aust $1.01
Draw $16-
Eng $200-

Shows that Betfair is the future of punting....Ive had a small punt on the draw hoping England can get a partnership and when it comes into $15- trade it off for a profit
