How to make a million

Bucking Beads $1,000,000/$541.12 @ 1848

- Australia Win 3-0
- D Warner - Most Runs in Series
- M Johnson - Most Wickets in Series

western royboy i reckon you're a decent shot to make a million dollars.... just need some rain in perth, melbourne or sydney!

On a serious note Warner into Johnson is 88/1.... Ian Bell into Peter Siddle is 80/1*.... I know which one I'd be on.

* with sportingbet - although I don't think you can multi them on SB but you would be able to get similar price on the TAB who would allow a multi.

just so everyone is aware the warner into johnson bet was the one i would have been on

You'd be getting a little frisky right now if you placed this bet

 

[Bucking Beads]

I didn't put any money on my prediction although at this point I wish I did.

You are joking me - right now you'd be staring down $1M!!!!!

Just to clear the confusion up here - the was Bucking Beads prediction - I merely combined the odds of his predictions and did the Maths to get him to $1M - which he now tells me he didn't gets set for.

Still 3 tests to go.

If it was a 3 test series I'd have nailed my predictions. Should have put a few $ on it.

 

[damochandler]

i'd like to rescind my prediction please

 

[The_Reaper]

Australia 5-0

Legend

 

[Dan Cooper]

Not going to read through this entire thread. But if you predicted pre-series that by series end Trott, Swann & Prior's careers would be all but collectively over you should have used your startling predictive powers on the Tattslotto numbers instead.

 

[Kram]

Australia 5-0

Surely I win some sort of prize for this

 

[The Passenger]

3-0 Australia

Warner most runs.
Johnson most wickets.

That was 1848/1 as a multi.

I wonder what it was with 5-0 Australia. Probably 3000/1.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Well 2 out of 3 isn't too bad.

 

[MC Bad Genius]

2-1 Australia series win and retain the ashes.

England top-scorer: Bell
England most wickets: Anderson
Australia top-scorer: Watson
Australia most wickets: Harris

Other predictions:
- Johnson to break an opposition bone
- Trott to be dropped either during or after the series
- Haddin to retire
- Lyon to play the first 2 tests and then take no further part (despite playing OK)
- Warner to get someone out in the 90s

I was wrong on all of these, but I'm going to claim my ones about Johnson and Trott because I think I was close enough and I don't really care at all BECAUSE WE JUST WON THE ASHES IN A WHITEWASH!!!!

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

I'm glad I didn't make a prediction (goes back and deletes post).
About the only thing I got right was Lyon out-bowling Swann, and there would be no draws.
