Only issue is for games like this where the 'Gades have only hit 2 6's.
Yeah but his point is that you don't lose much when that happens anyway. If you back both outcomes you're going to get ~ 90% of your money back regardless, which means that as long the losing team hits six sixes more often than 10% of the time then you'll make a profit out of it.

I have no idea how often it happens. 1.90 vs 1.90 doesn't happen too often either though. This game the Stars were around 1.70, Gades 2.25 and the promotion at this stage is just for the first week, so I would rather just bet on who I think will win.

Yeah that doesn't matter as such; it's based around a 1.90 even bet so you can change the amounts you bet to create essentially the same effect.

My last post was replying to Riggins not you. $100 max bet, so yes you could have went $100 on Stars (1.70) and $75 on Gades (2.25) so you would have lost $5. Alternatively, you could have just bet on the Stars $100 and made $70..

Like I said, the option is only available this week, it will be interesting to see how often a losing T20 team hits 6 or more 6's.

It would only have to happen around 11% of the time to make a profit from it. I'm not going to start an account with them again just to do it for a week but a more high rolling pro punter could take them for thousands.

There is a $100 max bet to prevent high rollers from cleaning up. I wonder if there is a 'first bet on all games' disclaimer too. I didn't see it but other promotions have this feature. Just out of curiosity I'm going to see how often it happens this tournament.

Well done Stars btw, way too good.

Get Ponting to commentate Tests. Perfectly suited IMO.
I didn't hear Mark Waugh but all of Ponting, Fleming and Gilchrist were good to me IMO. None of the usual bull**** that Channel 9 seem to carry on with anyway.

International 12th Man
The banter between all of them was great, and how good was it not to have to suffer through Brayshaw for a change this summer.

Except for the Warne dropping Fleming's second hat trick. Must never be heard again.

International Captain
Looks like Herrick and Mascarenhas gone,and Smith may renege on the Scorchers deal.They BBL players falling like flies a real test of their supplementary list which most sides have not finalised.

Grecian and Marcuss would be pretty happy with that.

Umm just read this and tbh it would be a bit Sophies Choice, Obviously Jos playing for England in Tesst would be the greatest thing ever, but Luke Wright, um how could anyone allow that abomination.

Yet obviously Buttler has been the best English bat on Oz soil this year.
