[GIMH]

$100 on Australia to win the first test

 

[Somerset]

Can I do a $50 bet on South Africa to win the first test at $3.25 multi-ing into West Indies to win the second test at $3.25? ie. $50 to return $528?

Otherwise, I'll just have $50 on each of those bets separately.

I'd imagine multi-bets are allowed - thats an excellent return for two results that are certainly possible.

 

[NUFAN]

I'm putting $60 on Ricky Ponting to score more runs that Graeme Smith in the first Test.

RT Ponting 1.72
GC Smith 2.00

$60 x $1.72 = $103.20

I'm also placing $40 on VVS Laxman to score more runs than Ian Bell in the first innings of the second Test paying $1.83.

$40 x $1.83 = $73.20

So $100 in total - potential winnings $176.40.

 

[Steulen]

$50 on a South Africa win in the 1st Test
$50 on a draw in the 2nd Test between India and England
$25 on Gambhir topscoring in Ind 1st innings (2nd Test)
$25 on Cook topscoring in Eng 1st inning (2nd Test)

 

[Magrat Garlick]

$25 each on Johnson and Clark as leading Australian bowler against South Africa (both at $2.62 or 13/8)
$30 on the draw at Perth at $3.75 (or 11/4)
$10 on Flynn as top scorer for New Zealand at $5
$15 on Sarwan to score more runs than Taylor at $1.83

P.S. Could people please try to list the odds, especially if you're betting on something other than a match/seres outcome or toss (which is always 1.9)? It makes things more difficult to keep on top of if i have to check the prices on batsman matches or top scorers.

Also if anyone else wants to join, you can at any time without being at any disadvantage.

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

$20 on Laxman to top score for India in the first innings at 7.00
$20 on India to win 2nd Test at 2.10
$20 on McKenzie to top score for South Africa in the first innings at 5.50
$15 on Boucher to top score for South Africa in the first innings at 17.00

 

[Goughy]

$10 on Brett Lee being Aus top scorer in 1st innings 66/1
$10 on Watson being Aus top scorer in 1st innings 12/1

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Samuel Vimes (correct me if i'm wrong here)

You missed the $25 on Lee at exactly the same odds as on Johnson.

So I'm essentially playing: $50 on either Lee or Johnson to take most wickets at $1.31.

 

[Uppercut]

$25 each on Johnson and Clark as leading Australian bowler against South Africa (both at $2.62 or 13/8)

You meant Lee? Sure, no sweat.

 

[GIMH]

Uppercut, how much money do we actually have to play with? Is it $200?

 

[Magrat Garlick]

You meant Lee? Sure, no sweat.

Good thing Clark's injured.

Yup. Mind working better than fingers, evidently.

 

[Uppercut]

Good thing Clark's injured.

You get your money back if you back someone who doesn't play. They're not THAT mean

 

[Uppercut]

Uppercut, how much money do we actually have to play with? Is it $200?

$200, with $200 more added each Wednesday for three weeks starting next week (the purpose of which is to give people a means to stay involved if they lose everything in week one). So if you see no value this week, you can save it for something better later on. At the end of the four weeks i'll take $800 off everyone's balance and we'll see who's made a profit and who's made a loss. Hell, if you wanted to, you could just not make any bets. You'd probably do better than most people

 

[GIMH]

I can guarantee that I will lose everything

II will stick my other 100 on later in the week one thinks, or maybe tonight

 

[NUFAN]

$10 on Brett Lee being Aus top scorer in 1st innings 66/1
$10 on Watson being Aus top scorer in 1st innings 12/1

So if Watson doesn't play, Goughy gets his $10 back yeah?

 

[Simon]

So if Watson doesn't play, Goughy gets his $10 back yeah?

Naa dont reckon he does, as far as I know with most betting agencies he wouldnt.

 

[Goughy]

Naa dont reckon he does, as far as I know with most betting agencies he wouldnt.

Of course I do.

If he doesnt run then the bet doesnt stand.

 

[Uppercut]

Naa dont reckon he does, as far as I know with most betting agencies he wouldnt.
