The Great Quandram Vs Frodo Challenge No. 1: Hit and hope cricket

The short version:

£10 - 5 bets, all in every time.

The only problem with reading the short version is that you wont know who's money it is... or have the remotest idea what the 27 bets before that are or why it takes us two weeks to get there... guess you'll just have to read the long version.

The long version:

So i was bored at work today and with it being the start of the Twenty20 World Cup tomorrow i had an idea on how to win some of Frodos hard *cough* earned money. And i hit upon a little plan.

Bet a mythical 1pt each on every Twenty20 game, any market we like and the one with the most profit at the end gets a set of 5 all-in bets funded by the loser. If you lose it only costs £10 and if you win you get the chance to win big(ish) by betting stakes you'd probably swerve in "real life".

A more accurate summary would be along the lines of the loser gets to pay £10 to laugh at the woefully incompetent selections of the winner.

All bets to be placed on here before (if possible) the games.


ok - a couple of things to make clear...

1) For the love of god don't follow any bets you see here, this is forced betting on games of which the collective knowledge we have could be summarised on a postage stamp with room to spare for a few chapters of war and peace.

2) There might be a bit of after eventing if we're being rubbish but if there is it's because we've communicated in real life and it's all fine really (and as we're the ones that count you can shove your moans)


Right then Frodo you old goat buffer... game on!

Game 1 - Boucher top SA run scorer - 8/1 - Bet Direct.
Game 2 - Kenya to win the toss - Evens - Ladbrokes (something I can watch before I go to work)

Lucky boy. Even the great Saj-wide Mahmood would've struggled to have competed with some of that outstanding bowling.

Boucher never got to bat!! Partly because Gibbs was dropped twice!!

Still, I'm unbelivably confident that Kenya will win the toss tomorrow.

Well just lost my first attempt at a post.

You lucky boy. Even Saj-wide at his best would've struggled to keep up with some of that bowling!!

Gibbs dropped twice, Kemp once so Boucher never even got to bat. Still I'm very confident of Kenya winning the toss tomorrow.

Re: The Great Quandram Vs Frodo Challenge No. 1: Hit and hope cricket

Now at this point i could just copy all of Frodos bets and guarantee myself the win...

unfortunately he knows where i live so i'm forced to gamble onwards.

Game 2: Under 9 six's 7/4 @ StanJames
Game 3: Highest first 6 overs - Pakistan 1/4 @ ToteSport (that's like buying money)
Game 4: Top Aussie Bat - Gilchrist 11/4 @ BoyleSports


P/L after Game 1
Quandram +0.83
Frodo -1

Quandram: P2, W2, +2.08pts
Frodo: P2, L2, -2pts

You mentioned the 6's bet as 5/4 to me this morning. I smell some skulduggery so have counted it as 5/4.
