The Punt #10
Matt is finally off the mark, taking a fair chunk out of his debt. The rest of us were unsuccessful, but with so much sport happening around the world at the moment, surely we can back a winner?

—————————————-
Matt
ODI Aust Most Series Runs – Shane Watson @ $3.75 (Opening the batting Watson will play all five games and have the best chance to score plenty of runs. He also is in good form, and has had some good results in the sub-continent previously)
&
PGA Championship 1st Round Aust Lowest Score – Adam Scott @ $3.50 (In some very good form as well, and hopefully will finally break through for that first major victory with Steve Williams by his side)
= $13.13
Adrian
Tri Nations- Wallabies to beat Springboks @ $2.05- They were disappointing last week… Please Wallabies, something!
&
Carling Cup- Blackpool to beat Sheffield Wednesday @ $2.50– I can only hope rioting doesn’t stop this from going ahead…
= $5.13
The Phantom
Cricket- Australia to win ODI Series @ $1.45- After a commanding win in the first game, all of Australia’s big guns are in good touch, with Watson, Ponting, Clarke & Johnson all playing very well.
&
Tri Nations- Wallabies win by 1-12 @ $3.40- Coming up against a red hot All Blacks side last week, the Wallabies were far from disgraced despite not playing near their best. I expect a better performance from a stronger side this week.
&
EPL- Newcastle vs Arsenal, 4+ goals in the match @ $2.94- Who can forget Newcastle’s epic comeback from 0-4 down against the Gunners last season? These are two sides who aren’t too keen on defence, and on the opening day of the season both will be out to stamp their attacking prowess on the game.
= $14.49
Tomo
WTA Tor Rd3 Stosur-Li Na 12/08 – Set Betting – STOSUR Samantha 2-1 @ $4.00 –I thought Na was better than Stosur? I dunno but Stosur is paying good money. Na’s a good player so will most likely take a set
&
TRI Sth Africa-Australia 14/08 – 1st Score Type – South Africa Penalty Goal @ $2.70 – No reason. Just have my fingers crossed.
= $10.80
David
NRL R23 Warriors-Newcastle IncExT 13/08 – Head to Head – Warriors win @ $1.45 – Back on a bit of a conservative streak, but I think the Warriors are playing well enough to take this one
&
EPL Rd1 West Bromwch-Man United 13/08 – Result – Manchester United @ $1.55 – Can’t see anything but a good start for the defending champs
=$2.25
