For the first time in Ashes history, an Australian bookmaker will bet “live” on the amount of runs scored in every over bowled in an Australia-England series!

For the first time in Ashes history, an Australian bookmaker will bet “live” on the amount of runs scored in every over bowled in an Australia-England series!

Centrebet media chief Neil Evans announced today that a “live” Under/Over Line will be operating for every over bowled in the Ashes showdown, as well as Under/Over Lines for every batsman in every innings! “Now ‘live’ punters will be able to back how many runs come in each over, how many runs a player makes, and how he is likely to get out,” Evans said. “It’s the biggest bookmaking commitment by an Australian-based operator in history!

“In all, we will have nearly 100 separate markets from team and individual totals, over sessions and a full day’s play, as well as ‘How Out’ markets, innings leads, the first batsmen to make 50 or a century, and every player and team market imaginable!”

Meanwhile, after weeks of pre-Ashes Australian dominance with Centrebet punters, the betting in the countdown to the first Test in Cardiff has swung dramatically back England’s way after fast bowler Brett Lee’s withdrawal!

Centrebet media chief Neil Evans said add in some resilient lead-up form from the Poms, and all of a sudden England is back in the contest, both in the opening Test and on the Series result!

After Australia had taken the bulk of the first $85,000.00 bet on the series, including one Brisbane punter who wagered $35,000.00 at $1.80, forcing Australia from an opening $1.90 down to $1.68, the money has turned around with England being backed down from a high $3.45 into $2.85, with recent bets including $10,000.00 at $3.35, $3,000.00 at $3.10, $2,500.00 at $3.05, and an English punter who staked 1500 pounds at $3.35! The Aussies are now back out to $1.90 to win the best-of-five series!

In first Test betting, the money has run 4:1 the Poms way in the last 48 hours, including one European client who wagered 30,000.00 at $3.85! After Australia took most of the early money, scores of bets have been taken on England to go 1-up in Cardiff, forcing their price down to $3.20! At the same time, Australia has eased from $2.25 out to $2.80!

“The Lee injury, and the fact Australia’s top order could easily be unsettled on the bouncy home wickets, has led to a big turnaround,” Evans said. “Australia will go in as favourite in all books, but nowhere near the dominant side some punters may have thought a while back!”
