Hi is anyone betting on the world cup?

Here is mine, I wont show how much I better though, but no more then £20 on each bet.

Top batsman
I betted on Sachin, Amla, Watson, Jayawardena and KP

Top Bowler
I betted on Steyn, Murali, Malinga, Broad

Highest team score
India - Hope its against Holland

Whats your opinions are top bat, bowler and highest score.

Hard to say but Amla looks like a good bet on the batting side wonder was the odds

 

[DelhiDareDevil]

Amla had odds of 14. So £10 bet on him will earn you £140

Sachin odds was 12-13

Watson around 16, Jayawardne around 30, KP at 25

you are with the wrong bookmaker then my friend.. try paddy power. amla is going for 20 to 1 & SRT for 18 to 1 to be the top scorers. have few quids on both of them.

Just checked paddypower, Sachin is at 12, Amla at 12

So what your on about? Top Tournament Runscorer - Runscorer and Wicket Taker Markets Betting Odds

Some betting companies give u free credit for first time bets with them

oh.. sorry mate.. maybe you missed the bus. good that i put my bet well in advance!

 

[DelhiDareDevil]

What I did, if Sachin wins, I will earn £500. If Amla wins I win around £300

And then I betted on 3 other batsman, when if they win, I make a small profit, so Im hoping the best 5 batsman win it, especially Sachin or Amla.

Might bet small on 2-3 other batsman as well, incase they win, know who to bet on?

Andross I bet on betfair, not bothered about £20 free bet (if I lose my first bet on much lower odds chances)

Exactly, all about trying to minimize the risk, when going after the big chace. Thats why I hate the word gambling, I like to call it hedging, will go long before the first match, for any finance guys are there.

Black Ops, what if Sehwag wins, you will lose £100, I say add £5 on 5-6 more players to make sure you get most of £100 back, plus the additional money you bet on them.

It sucks US doesn't allow sports gambling.

Go for Ahmed Shehzad

he is in good touch

may be he will earn you 1/50 - or you will lose only 1... i think its worth a risk

 

[Andross]

Wonder was the odds on Harbhajan singh taking the most wickets

I know, but stupid betfair hasnt put his name up on top run scorer list.

This guy looks like a gem for Pakistan. Will see if betfair adds him tomorrow, if not might put a small bet on Younis Khan for now.

But dont understand why Jayawardene is 32-1 when last world cup, he scored the most runs after Hayden

Bhajji odds for that is 21-1
