So what site are we going to to our odds from? Or can each person find there own odds and post them up along with the bet?

 

[Zinzan]

Count me in. Hoping you use decimal odds

Stick to Bet365 i think, because it has the widest range of bets and it means i can post some of the odds here and so people can play without having to look for odds all the time (which isn't easy if you're avoiding filters at work or the like). Generally i'll post the odds on the three results for all international one-day, T20 and test matches, but if you want to look for more specific bets (e.g. Chanderpaul to top-score for West Indies) you can.

If anyone knows a site with more cricket bets though i'll use that.

exactly....would like some one to post the odds

or can we put a bet on something and if we win we get the extra money

In.
Decimal.
Someone else post a lot of odds, I'll pick and choose mine. Probably CBF to look for odds myself.

 

[Woodster]

Count me in defintely!

Yeah, we're just using one website so they'll all be on bet365.com--->Sports---> cricket. But i'll post match odds and the like anyway.

 

[Uppercut]

Yeah - I just think all of us should be using the same method to avoid confusion.

BTW - Is it just International matches, or can you bet domestically?

As for this, i'm happy with any bet found on bet365. I don't think it extends to NZ or Indian FC cricket but there's a fair amount to bet on.

So far we have:

If anyone else wants to join, feel free- people can join mid-round without any advantage so i don't see a problem with that either. You don't have to bet the $200 each week, if you don't see any value you can save it until you do. I'll start keeping track of bets from Wednesday, 1200GMT onwards, so the first round starts then.

Uppercut one question..

Just say I go on to the site and put money on Kallis to be leading run scorer and he's at $8 at the moment and than tomorrow someone else decides to take up the offer and he's at $7.

How is this going to work, honesty system in place?

 

[Goughy]

Sign me up as well

I know it starts on Wed but $50 on Aus to beat SA at evens

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

 

[Simon]

$100 on South Africa having a higher 1st innings opening partnership @ $2.00 = $200

$50 on Multi of
Hayden to outscore Ponting in 1st innings & Smith to outscore Kallis 1st innings @ $3.27 = $163.50

$50 on 1st test result being a draw @ $3.75 = $187.50

 

[GIMH]

You know Uppercut, if you do a decent job of this and think it will be a big thing, it might be worth asking for a subforum for it. You'd have to be committed to keeping on top of things etc, but we had a similar one in the past with the predictions league.

 

[Goughy]

What is this decimal bull**** anyway?

 

[GIMH]

It's how much you win in total for every quid, includes getting your stake back.

So IIRC 10-1 is 11.00

 

[NUFAN]

$50 on Multi of
Hayden to outscore Ponting in 1st innings & Smith to outscore Kallis 1st innings @ $3.27 = $163.50

How how'd you get this multi exactly? I can't find it.
