The 2013 Ashes Betting Tips Part 1

It has certainly been a while since England pulled off two of the most impressive Ashes series victories in quite some time. The 2008 Ashes saw England not perform at their absolute best, but still winning the key moments (Panesar and Anderson batting out to save the 1st test as a draw is a great example) to ensure a series victory.

Then, against all odds, the English travelled to Australia and pulled off a victory that is still sending reverberations through the world of Australian cricket. Now, with an entirely new look to the side and a complete and utter lack of Ricky Ponting for the first time in a generation, the Aussies will be traveling back to English shores as they look to keep England from three-peating the Ashes. 

As it currently stands, the bookmakers (even the Australian ones) are firmly behind England with most major books listing them in the neighborhood of 1/3 for the outright series victory. That’s only a good wager if they win the first test, as an Aussie win or even a draw in the first five-dayer will see England’s price begin to climb. 

The Aussies themselves can be backed at 4/1 to win the Ashes at this point in time with a drawn series paying an impressive 6/1 listing. 

As we all know, a drawn series sees the holding side retain the Ashes, but it still be better than an outright defeat for the beleaguered Australian cricket side. 

In the draw no bet market, England are priced out at an ultra-slim 1/5 while Australia can be backed at a 10/3 price tag. Not bad odds for the Australians but England are more or less unbackable at that price.
