Betting Coach - Australia vs India The Fourth Test: the Reckoning

So one week on, how did The Trumpet's tips turn out?

India at 8/1 gave a good run for your money, but neither bowling attack had the venom to take wickets quickly enough on an excellent pitch - a sixth day would have been interesting. Virender Sehwag was tipped as top Indian bat at 6/1, alas for the first innings and not the second dig. RP Singh's injury saw him blow his chances of being top  Indian bowler (1st innings). Close, but no cigar with the fixed odds bookies.

Over on the spreads, The Trumpet advised a sell on Australia at 85-105 for 1st innings supremacy, which settled at 37 for a handy win of £48 to a £1 per run wager. Most of that would have been lost on the advised sell on Punter's runs which was quoted at 103-110 - despite injury, he still managed 140 which loses £37 to a £1 per run wager. Finally, VVS was recommended as a buy on his total match runs (quoted at 73-80) - it wasn't quite the fairytale ending to VVS's glorious Australian career, and his 63 runs lost his supporters £17.

To come out £6 down on the spreads and lose out on the fixed odds markets narrowly isn't such a bad result when looking for value. The Betting Coach will be back for the New Zealand vs England series.
