Australia vs India - Cricket

[blackpantha]

I know there isnt much value on an Australian win, with the odds around the $1.33 mark this morning

But do you think this is a near certain win for them? Im considering putting some money on them..

[Floydyboy]

well theres always the rain to consider the pitch is crumbling we could lose 5 or 6 for bugger all (but I hope Not) Maybe a small bet on the draw at huge odds to cover if your going to jump in at those odds ..
I admit that the Indians have got to score 250 before we start having to worry about it but sillier things have happened .Or it could be allover rover before stumps tonite

In fact im gunna waste $6 on the draw @ $19.10 just for the heck of it ....
Its more a $6 bet against the weather than anything else

[Floydyboy]

Ha Ive got my six dollars worth watchin these indians come back

[Floydyboy]

I reckon itll be over by stumps(weve got lots of heroes in our side ) but I gotta be optomistic while Ive got all that cash invested ....mind you the thought of a hundred bucks plus, for bugger all, excites me

[sportznut]

Did Hauritz get Tendulkar out? Well done.

[Floydyboy]

Clarke's a handy player huh??? :smile:

[thebookie]

He's throwing round arm pies!!!

What on earth is going on???

[Floydyboy]

five for 9 not bad figures for a rookie

[sportznut]

Make that 6 for 9.

[sportznut]

I've been wondering why he hasn't bowled more in this series. He's quite a handy spinner, more so in one day cricket, but also a very handy part timer for tests.

[sportznut]

Hmmm, 3-32. Who knows?

[thebookie]

They're just teasing me again...

It is killing me!!!

[Floydyboy]

Well I dont know whether Blackpantha had his money on at 1.33 or not but hes sure getting his moneys worth of excitement out of it

[sportznut]

4-40!!!

I had a little bet on India pre match but I had pretty much given up on them.

Bye Bye Gilly!!!

C'mon INDIA!!!

[Floydyboy]

i reckon mcgrath will save us hes battin like bradman the moment

[thebookie]

Why can't Kumble get a bowl???

[sportznut]

Floydy, I can assure you that as soon as I heard that Warne wasn't going to play, I decided I was going to back India. It was only $10 @ $3.10 and I'm sure I could have got much better odds on them after they were skittled in the first innings. I'd still like to see Australia get out of this somehow, but it doesn't look likely.

[Oaksnaf]

40 odd runs with 3 wickets in hand. THe odds look against the 1.33 Aussie favourites. Top match. I thought we had it once India got bolwed out. But its a bowling pitch, and the AUssies look like getting done.

[Floydyboy]

I never like to see australia lose but ill be happy to see you guys get your doe .Like I said It really dont matter cos we got the silverware

[thebookie]

This is killing me... :sad:

C'mon India!!!

[thebookie]

C'MON!!!

[sportznut]

How much money have you bet? Even when I bet against Australia I NEVER cheer for the other team!

[Floydyboy]

Me either I layed em to win the series at1.33 but i bought em back in the second test for a free bet I just couldnt stand cheerin for the oppo hahahaha

[sportznut]

Yeah, I bet with my head, not my heart.

I'm going to back England in next year's Ashes series because I think they will be great value, but I would NEVER EVER think of cheering for the poms!!! :eek:

Ahh never in my life. Betting on the poms is OK, but cheering for them.. thats breaking one of the commandments-NEVER CHEER FOR POMS

[Floydyboy]

I backed em when they were out here they were offerin ridiculous prices about the poms and a draw i pcked up the draw in brisbane and i got eight dollars about em when they won in melb But I dont think well see those prices again

[Oaksnaf]

18runs to go. You can do it AUSSIES!!

[thebookie]

YOU BLOODY BEAUTY!!!

[sportznut]

Well, there ya go. India got the result they wanted by producing an atrocious pitch. Just incredibly lucky we were already ahead in the series.
