The 2013 Ashes Betting Tips Part 2

The favoured correct score margin looks to be England to take the series by a 3-1 margin and that’s paying out at 11/2 at this point. Look for that price to take some serious volume and get clipped down to 5/1 or even 9/2 as we get closer to the first test.

The issue with backing a 3-1 result is that you still have to have one test be decided by a draw or cancelled by the rain altogether. We saw all sorts of rain problems during the latest 50 overs tournament held on English shores and it wouldn’t be a huge surprise to anybody if we were to lose at least one test due to the weather.
England to win 2-1 or 3-0 both pay out at 7/1 while a 4-0 England victory pays out at 8/1. The big bet that all of the English fans have been talking about is the stellar 12/1 odds available on a 5-0 series whitewash - there would be few things more embarrassing or telling about the state of Australian cricket than a full five-test victory at home for England.
In the event of a drawn series the 2-2 draw pays out at 7/1 while a 1-1 draw can be backed at 20/1.
The Australians shortest-priced correct score margin looks to be a 2-1 result which would pay out in the neighbourhood of 12/1. A 3-1 series win for Australia pays out at a solid 20/1 margin.
No matter which way you look at it, this Ashes series is setting up to be one of the most intriguing in quite some time with plenty of young stars looking to stake their claim on their places in the national side for the next decade or so. Who will emerge as the key stars of the 2013 Ashes?
