British Forum BETTING thread

Honestly mate it was like watching a different team. Campbell and Malbranque had their best games yet in a Red and White shirt, really liking the look of Hutton at right-back, even Jones had a very good game. And as for John Mensah, the man is different class.

Might put a couple of quid on us beating City 2-1 on Sunday, 11/1 at Ladbrokes.

EDIT- Just remembered, we never ever beat City.

 

Baxter 16/5 to beat Wade in the league tomorrow (darts).

 

Yeah not bad
I'm not so sure though.Wade has to get a win sometime,he's a class player.I don't bet on these PL games tbh,too hard to call.

 

England are 2/5 to beat Bangladesh in the 1st Test.

 

Yep, but Baxter has been playing really well and he had the best odds of the night (other than the draw and Taylor's opponent). Anyway, you just cover your bet with a punt on Jenkins to draw his match :yep

 

Baxter is in form,yes.I'd probably pick against Baxter every week and consider it a minor upset if he gets a result.He's surprised me so far.
Yeah it might be worth looking at 8-6 both ways in Jenkins' games.He seems to be in close games with everyone.
There is 5/4 for Over 8.5 180's in the Whitlock/Lewis game-9 maximums in 14 legs??I wouldn't put it past these two.Still won't bother I don't think

 

As for the cricket,it seems as though Carberry will get a go at the top of the order.There was talk of Trott opening and bringing in another bowler.If they have taken this tour lightly enough to rest Strauss then they might aswell give Carberry a go in the Tests regardless of his performance in the warm up

Cricinfo have this as the probable team:

England (probable) 1 Alastair Cook (capt), 2 Michael Carberry, 3 Jonathan Trott, 4 Kevin Pietersen, 5 Paul Collingwood, 6 Ian Bell, 7 Matt Prior (wk), 8 Stuart Broad, 9 Tim Bresnan, 10 Graeme Swann, 11 James Tredwell

Only 2 seamers.Batting all the way down though.Tredwell has opened for Kent in the past unless I'm mistaken.

 

Do you reckon Panesar has played his last Test?

I'd be surprised if they can't break Bangladesh down with that attack, Broad is improving, Bresnan is decent (no more no less) - a lot rests on how well Swann does.

Their seam attack is awful, though their spinners aren't that bad I guess.

 

Probably but who knows.A good season and he's back in contention.He is certainly out of favour.

Swann is obviously the number 1 spinner.Tredwell might just be an experiment because this is only Bangladesh.Adil Rashid might even be next in line and there are a few young spinners out there on the county scene.

I'd probably **** Panesar off altogether unless he has an incredible 50+ wicket season or something.He can't bat for **** and he's a clown in the field.I don't think his bowling is good enough to make up for that,he's not Murali.

 

Yeah, that's pretty much my take.

They need to be 1st division wickets as well..... it's taken a while but the idea of two division cricket has worked.

 

Lille 0 Handicap vs. Liverpool,Pana vs. Standard, Man U vs. Fulham

20 to win 60!

 

Paq vs Clottey is 11/8 (Boylesports) to go the distance. I don't think Clottey will be stopped and I can't see Clottey being quick enough or throwing enough to stop Pac.

 

Man I can't believe Panantinakos lost. Anyone watched that game?

I seen a few of them during the league season and Cisse has been playing great, id figure he would continue the run of good form, especially vs. a smaller caliber Belgian team. :-(

 

Surely you can't see Clottey doing enough to win the fight on points?You might aswell bet on Pac by decision at 7/4
