    COTTO 23/10 @ BOYLESPORTS.

    Ridiculous price for what's essentially a 'pick em' fight.

    England are **** at T20.

    They still play the game the same way as the ODI form...... in the same way that teams played in the 1980's.

    Wickets in hand and swing from the arse at the tail end :-(

    If you are gonna play that way, at least do it properly. One guy (Strauss) looks to be the anchorman and bat through the innings whilst the others accelerate around him - the Aussies won the 87 World Cup doing it that way.

    We haven't got the hang of the batting powerplay yet either - the Aussies and Saffies take it immediately after the ball change..... works a treat.

    On Ireland...... max liability prob a tenner. Would net me £7 profit.

    :good

    Can't get SA for T20 series on Betfair and I've only got £10 left in my account, after withdrawing earlier in the week, so I was thinking of going the same. Looks as good as anything else out there this weekend.

    I'd run with that.

    You can get 11/10 on there being more than one run out in the match. That's worth £2 of anybody's money as a throwaway bet.....

    I sometimes do that, place a series of £2 bets and if any of them come in, try and build it up to something decent and pocket the cash.

    Yeah I like the sound of that.

    Gone £15 on SA for the series at 11/8 and £10 liability on France not to win.

    Off to have a look at runouts now and then down the pub :D

    23/10 yesterday or the day before. 5/2 is just plain crazy.
    I thought the price would've went much the same as Haye Valuev as the fight neared.
    I'm trying to go easy on the 'big punts' lately but i've a horrible feeling i'm going to be lured into a monster one.

    Ukraine is the value bet against Greece,no doubt.

    Love to see confidence in a gambler,already have a bit on at 15/8 when the fight was first announced but this 5/2 does stink of serious value.

    Think Cotto will be too much for him but then again I tipped DLH and ....ahem....Hatton to be too strong also:patsch

    Only had cash on DLH tho.

    England lose a wicket with the first ball - looks like your £15 is safe.

    Shame it wasn't a runout :-(

    I put £7 on SA to win today...... the other £3 has gone on N'Dou by stoppage - just in case.

    I had a small bet on Hatton on PTS so I won't be too disappointed if he should pull it off
