'Best Bet Summer Special' - The Ashes 2009 with Betfair
Hello and welcome to the latest edition of my guest betting blog. In the second part of my 'summer special' I am switching my attention from rugby union to cricket, and focusing on the current Ashes series between England and Australia.
The Aussies, are of course holders of the famous urn, after their 5-0 whitewash down under in 2006/07. Not that you would think that if you have been following the media circus surrounding this iconic 'cricketing battle.'
The British media seemed to have conveniently forgotten about 'that' series and before a ball had been bowled in anger this series, every broadcast and journalistic column inch had instead been devoted to that famous summer of 2005, when England regained the Ashes for the fist time since 1989.
To the current series:
The opening test in Cardiff re-created some of the spirit of 2005, especially on the last day as Monty Panesar and James Anderson clung on to secure an unlikely draw for England.
It got even better at Lord’s as England buried a 75 year hoodoo to go 1-0 up in the second test of this five match series.
England’s hero on that dramatic final day at the home of cricket, Andrew Flintoff, has announced his retirement from test cricket after this series. Will he go out on a high? Can we grasp the Ashes back from the clutches of the Aussies?
Here are the latest Ashes odds:
Who will win the Ashes?
Australia 11/4 England 5/4
Series score:
England to win:
4-0 54/1 3-0 16/1 3-1 19/1 2-0 8/1 2-1 9/2 1-0 12/1
Australia to win:
3-1 14-1 2-1 9/2
Drawn series:
1-1 4/1 2-2 6/5
Top series run-scorer:
Andrew Strauss 3/1 Ricky Ponting 7/2 Michael Clarke 5/1 Simon Katich 9/1 Paul Collingwood 11/1 Alastair Cook 14/ Brad Haddin 14/1 Michael Hussey 22/1 Philip Hughes 49/1
Top series wicket taker:
Mitchell Johnson 5/6 James Anderson 5/1 Ben Hilfenhaus 4/1 Andrew Flintoff 7/1 Nathan Hauritz 9/1 Peter Siddle 10/1 Graeme Swann 12/1 Stuart Broad 27/1 Graham Onions 41/1 Brett Lee 69/1
Series Specials:
Will there be a hatrick in the series? Yes 15/2 No 1/18
Will there be a double century? Yes 5/2 No 1/3
Will someone get ten wickets in the match? Yes 6/1 No 1/14
My 'best bet' prediction’ for Ashes betting:
I have to admit at the outset I thought the Aussies would come out on top. Though Ricky Ponting’s men are not as formidable as they once were, due in part to the retirement of cricketing legends such as Warne, McGrath, Hayden, Langer and Gilchrist, the Aussie's should not be underestimated.
But with the advantage now lying with England I did wonder whether I should change my mind. However without the likes of Simon Jones and a firing Steve Harmison I just don't think we have enough in our bowling attack to consistently take 20 wickets a test, especially with the continuous doubts surrounding the extent of Freddie Flintoff's knee problems.
On that basis I am going to be very unpatriotic and predict a 2-1 Australia series win at 9/2.

Reality Check: Economics in America
Let it be said that I am not bought off and not invested in how much money you make one way or the other.
I am one of last people on the web that is willing to tell the truth and attempt to remove all the shadowing and spin that resides over all that is the media.
Allow me to plain:
We are headed for a depression.
I repeat this as a man with three businesses and a successful career in marketing said this statement to me.
A math teacher of high credentials has said to same to me in the past year.
You won’t hear this from the bought and paid for economists who sat on their hands and let our economy crumble beneath us as they remained mute.
While the word ‘depression’ in regards to economics is about to appear on the FFC Banned Words List there is much to be understood about what awaits us.
I’ll remove as much jargon as I can.
The economy will go up. But then it will come back down again.
They call me a “W” in terms of my economic perspective in that I believe we will regain strength in the market in coming quarters. But I think these will be temporary gains and ultimately we will fall back into a recession cycle that will lead to a depression.
Most media economists tell you that they are a “V” which to me just denotes that they are blindly optimistic or much more likely bought and paid for.
Some maintain that there will be no improvement and they are labeled the “L‘s”.
And some still think we will have gradual and slow recovery that is unhampered and they are labeled as “U‘s”.
Anyone like myself who speaks of a forthcoming American Depression would squarely fit into the “W” or the “L” camps.
However, the notion that all hope is lost is a false one.
Most of us ‘money-savvy’ people already know that fortunes can be made in depressions and that the wealth of the nation will not dissolve into thin air but rather will be distributed down to the people who have the intelligence and the foresight to take advantage of the downturn.
This is just a sliver-lining though. Each family should take real steps right away to build up the value of your home, maximize your portfolio and be prudent about major expenses.
But it’s important to realize that if we are going to prove me, a math teacher and a successful business man wrong that this nation will have to refocus itself on consumer spending.
If all of America continues to tighten it’s belt in this endless fashion then you begin to see why some predict this outcome at a latter date. Most say about three years and I would estimate a little longer span of time but the same end result.
