The "Other Sports" Thread

This thread will be used for all other sports that aren't covered by their own one.

The NBA thread is here, whilst the Football thread is here.

There's also a Horse/Greyhound Racing section for anyone wanting to post there, it's located here.

So pretty much every other sport comes in here until we think of something better. NFL, Cricket, Tennis, etc etc, all goes in here.

Same rules as everywhere else.

No bitching, no after-timing, no snide digs at people and so on.

G'luck folks.

Should be an interesting game in the A international in the rugby tonight. It's in Scotland and they're on decent form with some big names in the side. But I quite like the look of the Irish team and if we can match them up front, our backs should have plenty to cause them problems. It's 6/5 for an Irish win and it's a price I'm willing to take.

So says 'Bumsex'!

Have to say, I'm looking hard at Clijsters to win 2-0 tonight. Available at just under evens. Li Na had a good game against Woz, great spirit to come back in that game from a set down, but Clijsters is another matter. She won't break mentally, and if Li makes near the same amount of mistakes as she did in the semi, Kim should do it in two sets.

Looks like this thread died a death fairly quickly.
On the off-chance that anyone is going to use this thread, I'll just throw this out there.
Who fancies Murray in the Aussie Open? I can't see past Nole myself, but the odds are a little stingy at 4/6 for a single.

Im thinking of going big on over 40.5 games at 10/11 in the Murray game.

I cant see it being 3-0 to either player and hopefully 1 set goes 7-6 so a 3 sets to 1 to either player should win the bet or a 3-2 either gauranting it.

Becker reckons that Murray is fitter than Nole and will try to string out the rallies. If that then goes to five sets, it could be a very long match indeed.
To be honest, I reckon Murray has a bit of a glass jaw. He could be surprised at Djokovic's form. But they're very similar styles of players. I just think Nole has the edge. I wouldn't rule out a 3-0, though personally I think 3-1 is more likely.
For the game to go to 41 points or more, you're looking at four long sets minimum or five average ones. It would only take one set to be blasted through quickly to blow the bet. But if Murray can match Djokovic, then it could well be a good runner.

Yea your 100% right about a 6-1 or 6-2 set fooking up the bet .

l dont realy fancy Murray will win it but l cant see him lying down without a fight .(I know fook all about tennis tho and looking at the results so far anything can happen)

Im just after seeing Stan james are going over 38.5 and bet365 are over 39.5 both at 8/11 so my pp over 40.5 at 10/11 maybe isnt as appealing now.

It's a bet I never do because of the possibility of someone blasting through a set, not in any tennis game.
I prefer set betting. You can see how the first set goes, then assess the likelihood of someone doing straight sets and get good odds when the match is obviously heading in one direction. This works better in women's and doubles matches, though, where there's only 2 sets to win. I won't be betting on sets tomorrow, though I think it will be Djokovic 3-1 or 3-2.
