Hi, have lurked for a bit thought it was time to pitch in and see if we cant all become millionaires together.

That $4 on Australia to win the ashes I think is good cash, I dont think an English team will win the Champions League and you only need Roger to have one bad day at Wimbledon and that money is gone so I might have a dabble at that, Aus winning the ashes is an absolute given.

First event to occur in 2005
Australia win Ashes 4.00 - $100

First Aussie event to occur in 2005
Aussies win Ashes 2.20 - $100

First Overseas event to happen in 2005
Schumacher wins Monaco GP 6.00 - $50
Spain wins Davis Cup 41.00 - $50

Probably some intersting results!!
