Big Bets this weekwere winners
 

Are big punters good to follow ? The problem of only knowing this bet is you don't know what other bets they also put on with this to hedge. It could be an arbitrage bet even.

It seems this week the TAB lost quite a few of there big bets.

Wow they did well with the perth scorchers bet....

Would have to have been placed before the semi, methinks.

BIG BETS

$150,000 @ $2.10 South Africa (1st Test)

$74,000 @ $4.25 Draw (1st Test, Sth Africa v Aust)

Yet another way to lay Australia :D

From tab.com.au

I thought our whitewash of the English was due to their poor batting and thought we would get smacked against quality opposition such as the Proteas, are we better than i thought or will they come back to beat us 2-1? or is it just the Mitch factor?

No chance unless MJ goes down - 3zip Aussies, Proteas are still in shock & probably will be for sometime;)

I had to sit with half a dozen Sth Africans for the first half a dozen overs. They were gloating so much it was nauseating so I did the polite thing and left. (turn the other cheek thing) When I got home and tuned in again, I nearly went back.

They were in disarray during the Aussie second innings and they had the same look in their eyes as the Poms did after Brisbane. What a difference an express bowler can make. 39 wickets since November for MJ.
Adding Doolan and Marsh for Bailey ( out of his depth ) and Watson ( inj ) stiffened up the batting. If they replaced Rogers with Watson they would be better again but I doubt they'd do it.

When weather is not a factor backing the draw in tests is close to the worst mug bet there is. I've been laying the draw in every test for years.
