British Forum BETTING thread

I think the hail mary hope for Pietersen is that he turns up in Australia ready for the scrap and somehow flicks a switch to be good again. But yeah, to me he looks like someone who simply doesn't play very much cricket anymore.

The knives will quickly be out for Cook if he can't better his current record against Aus. Not sure who else there is though, dropping Cook would probably mean a major reshuffle with Trott moving up to open, because I suspect they don't really fancy Carberry and it's a couple of years too soon for someone like Lyth.

Apparently the reason for getting that Australian bowling coach was for him to teach them a bit about bowling with the Kookaburra and in Aus conditions. Let's hope he's good at his job because it won't matter who they pick if Anderson serves up his usual turds when it isn't swinging, while Broad lobs down his 5 million variations of bull****.

I've actually got a hunch Swann is going to get battered over there, hope I'm wrong like.

 

I was driving about earlier and listening to Test Match Special and Boycott was in the chair and was saying that Pietersen needs to stop talking to the media.

He's so open, tells everybody everything.

Just get away and graft, 2nd team cricket, league cricket, anything.

Plenty of finger spinners have suffered in Australia, Murali even bitched out of going about five years ago using being called for throwing previously as an excuse.

Swann isn't the type to get down over something though.... he's a bit like Shane Warne in that he's always battling and looking to get the batsman out - you see too many spinners just bowling negative if they don't get wickets straight away.

The back up seamers should be Shahzad and Bresnan for me..... Shahzad seems a bit raw, Bresnan is too thick to be intimidated by anyone - trust me on that one :yep

Panesar is done, his bowling is repetitive and batting/fielding-wise he's village level..... Tredwell isn't far off him bowling and elsewhere he's miles ahead.

Rashid needs a run of games..... but playing two spinners hasn't ever been a realistic option in England and Swann is obviously the man.... it might end up passing him by.

 

I have an account with Blue Square, it will let me bet on Martinez on any rd against Burns, but I want a specific bet on winning by stoppage, it wont let me.

Which is the best bookies to have an account with regarding betting with boxing?

 

Sporting Bet is usually the best i find.

 

sportingbet is the best and for obscure fights you cant beat bet365, although they only offer winner/over, under for lesser known fights

 

I don't bet much, but on the odd occassion a fancy a little wager, i use Bodog.

Just google the words "bodog" and you'll see their complete address has the word "life" after that. Completely legitimate, been having an account there for 5 years. Margarito at +205 and Cotto at -265 at one point was sweet! they have proposition wagers, can make even more greenbacks on prop bets like "will a ko happen" etc.

 

This is what you call batting for your career......

I really hope so.

Anyone found any betting sites with actual round/method betting? I can't find any, even on oddschecker.

 

TFFP, Is that 5's for a stoppage or is that round betting? I cant access gambling sites on the works computer.

 

Cheers mate. I'm pretty skint atm, so I'm only gonna have a fiver punt on Toney at 5's, and cover it with £6 on Couture in 1 at SkyBet.
