Australia are cooked - England to create history.

[010203]

What history would England be creating in this scenario??

First English team to win an Ashes series from 2-0 down.

Oh so it's more one of those how-s**t-are-England type of records.

This is the 11th time in the past 33 years they've put themselves in a position to "create history". Gotta admire that perseverance.

What's your profit/loss over your gambling career?

Started punting at the end of 2014....

50k over 10 years maybe?

Hard to tell, have been banned from some bookies for winning.

50 k in the red maybe.

It is hard to tell.

 

[greyhound punter]

Bit risky considering how s**t the weather can be in England and Manchester has very shitty weather.

It is a fair and valid point. But, the momentum is with England, Lyon is out, they bat deep.

Ive gone all in on this bet and im very confident.

England have got us exactly where they want us.

 

[greyhound punter]

They were paying like 6 going into the final day. Good thing this bet never happened as this is just a wind up.

Also the talks that England should be 3-0 up are comical. Dead giveaway this is a wind up. Lost all the tosses, had the worst of the conditions, lost the best spinner playing in the series less than halfway through the 2nd game but yeah, unlucky England

I can tell you for real, there is real money on the series result, a 4 figure win if England regain that precious urn. And im looking to raise the stakes as we get closer to match day, in the anticipation that more rain spooks the market and England's odds of regaining the ashes blow out. At that point i will look to add to my position.

I cannot see how England lose this Ashes series. They bat so deep - on these slow wickets, they don't fear the bouncer.

As i said, im planning on how i am going to spend my winnings and the sense of pride when i stride into that tab to cash the winning tickets and walk out with half of fort knox.

England aren't a test squad they are a T20 squad pretending to play the proper stuff.

Our lads should walk it.

 

[BGman]

Australia just losing a bit of composure.

That period killed us, Cummins can not let it happen again. Is he finding captaining and leading our attack too much of a mental strain, as he lost it with his absurd defensive tactics after Stokes went cheaply.

Haddin who I generally don’t find incredibly insightful but occasionally raises some good points, said on the Back Page that he felt for Cummins because the wickets came regularly enough that he could have felt inclined to attack but the flow of runs never stopped - and not just from the singles that were being allowed, they scored 120 in boundaries.


I agree with the general sentiment that once it got to 35-40 required he should have just gambled but I do have some sympathy for the situation he was in

 

[Stax on the mill]

Been analysing the first 3 games of the Ashes since the finish of the 3rd test.

I've come to the conclusion that Australia are cooked. Outside of Cummins and Starc, our bowlers are ineffective.

Lyon is injured.

I've wagered $900 on England regaining that precious urn @ $5

Looking forward to enjoying my winnings.

Congrats Eddiesmith and Plugger on your ashes win.

Hope you do your dough.

 

[Stax on the mill]

So Wood is just going to respect that and not take wickets?

Wood's overdue for a calf or hamstring strain.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

England should be 3-0 up and somehow, they are 2-1 down.

You should take your comedy act on the road.

 

[greyhound punter]

Haha.

To the victors go the spoils. Going to ve celebrating my tax free collect come the end of July. Imagining the glorious walk into the tab to collect the loot.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Wood's overdue for a calf or hamstring strain.

Is that the only way we can win?

 

[Peter Bixley]

Is that the only way we can win?

The Wood factor was key in the first innings, but it's very noticeable how his pace dropped markedly after day 1. He will not come back spell after spell at 150kmh/95mph.

You went all in, and that meant $900?

Damn I almost hope it works out for you then, sounds like you need it.

 

[Mr Meow]

We lost one close match, playing well below our best and in the worst conditions. Time to put your big boy shoes on and accept nothing is a given - that includes inevitable defeat two more times.

Don't need the money but this is a surebet.

Don't need the money but this is a surebet.

Says the guy who admits to being $50k down on the punt.

It's probably worthwhile self-excluding for a while, I think.

That is over nearly 10 years. To be honest, I don't think it would be that much. Maybe 20k.....I have self excluded from pretty much every online bookie.

The new betstop website that will open soon will be something I sign up to.

These ashes bets have been placed old school style, at the actual tab.

"Spirit of Cricket."

 

[Donnie Darko]

Lyon has close to 500 test wickets . A guy like that is injured ? its a titanic blow that cant be replaced.

Would probably have been the difference in the 3rd test. We just needed 3 wickets.

 

[greyhound punter]

I'm already planning on getting a nice watch with my winnings.

There is no way Aus are beating England once in the next 2 tests. No way. I'm disappointment is I can't put more on the English.

You have to be working for a betting company.

Anyway you've convinced me, I'm putting my house and everything else I own on England to win this series.

Betting on England in cricket is safer than the Bank of England, easy money.
