First Test

odds out today

Aus $1.80
Eng $4.00
Draw - I didn't hear, usually around $3.5

There's money to be made, the difference in price is ridiculous

JUMP ON THE POMS NOW, JGK!!!!!

Nothing unusual in those odds for a side that has a 9-1 losing record in its last 10 tests down under...

Doesn't seem to take into account current form but.

Aye, we couldn't even beat a team that was trying to lose

We'll struggle to take 20 wickets particularly now that Cooky is back in from and I can't see anyway that we will be able to dismiss Trott

Fast, bouncy decks please.

What JKL said. How many tests have Australia lost at home in the last 3 years?

With or without assistance?

Calling in the aircraft carrier already?

Ken oath, Pete. Without Warnie and McGrath to grind out the opposition we need bounce to unsettle the Poms with their familiarity with lowish and slower wickets in Blighty.

Still going to be a tough series for England.

Swanny might make the difference.

Aussies who think that England stand a chance are just f**king dumb quite frankly. Australia still have a better batting line up than England and in non swinging conditions I'd say their bowling attack is also better. The only advantages England have are with their spinner and a long batting line up, but our top order is the most unreliable of the top 5 test teams at the moment and won't get us enough runs even with our tail wagging.

So by axing the top 5 & filling up the team with specialist fielders would make it stronger.

What?

Three months away.

Can you convert that to number of sleeps?

$4.80 might be a good bet now with the hope of laying off if they get good early form. Let's face it our prep has not been great, Ricky's still captain and the bookies probably won't be able to save his arse this time.

I'm hoping having our lucky Taswegian sitting in the stands will be our talisman.

I told you. The IT qunts at work have banned all betting sites.

Will have to wait until I get home.

use a proxy site to get around it.

I know you're typing in English, I just don't know what you're saying.

Proxy Sites

A Proxy site is a web page which allows you to browse your favorite web sites -- even though your access to those web sites might be blocked by a content filter.

If you find that you are blocked from your favourite websites, use one of these web proxy sites to get around the block.

How Proxy Sites Work

Proxy sites enable you to bypass your own Internet provider and browse through the proxy web site. All that you have to do is type the web site address you would like to visit in the form they provide, and start browsing. Once you keep browsing using that form, you are protected and your real IP address is not being logged.

Great.

How do I find a proxy site for Sportsbet.com.au?

there's a ton of them in the link I posted

Hehehe, young Nath helping the old f@rt Banker across the road.
