What about those 30 ball ducks from Farhat & Azhar

[WithLoveFromCanada]

They could have made real money out of that too as odds to score a duck on 40 balls? and even get out? can be really high...innit?

[Poison]

I think everyone in all this whirlwind of 'spot fixing' has forgotten how much Anderson was killing our batsmen. They got ducks because they could NOT play the ball.

[Down2Earth]

yeah innit

[WithLoveFromCanada]

but still 30 and 40 balls are too much to remain scoreless...especially farhat who loves to attack...

[Oxy]

I think its fair to say that Farhat is just crap, and could have got a 40 ball duck for free

[Shadow_786]

Yes you have a point looking at it know anything is a possible there are bets on every situation in cricket even individual players

:)))


i still think he's in on it, though. zero talent pawwa maashter

[Shadow_786]

Hell I even think all the teams in on it expect for Yousuf who joined the team for the 3rd test I bet some where or another they all did a "SPOT FIXING"

[ddss]

Azhar Ali looks like the most loyal in the PK team, but he just sucks. Theres a difference between Amin and Ali and you can just tell it from their faces

but seriously, you wouldn't put your money on farhat scoring a duck on 35 balls...and azhar in the same innings to remain scoreless till 40 balls...anyone who had their money on that would surely have made it big :quote:...

[Geordie Ahmed]

BTW which bookies actually give odds for things like maiden over and no balls?

I have never seen such odds for cricket - seen it for football for things like number of corners, yellow cards etc

Only Azhar and Mazhar can answer that.

Indian bookies give these odds [I remember watching a news item on this a few years back].

It's ridiculous, but they do.

Black market betting, not these public gambling agencies.

Surely alarm bells should ring as soon as somebody slaps big money for someone bowling a no-ball or playing out a maiden over - a tenner or so fair enough BUT it sounds like people were betting thousands on this

i agree. he'd have slashed at something outside the off long before that. wasn't butt playing a maiden one of the supposed fixes for the 3rd test that was called off by kuptaan saab due to pitch conditions? poor farhat probably played the most disciplined innings of his life for a duck.

Of course, I wouldn't put money on Farhat scoring a duck off 35 balls.

What idiot would expect him to play out that many deliveries?

[Dare2Dream]

Every bad inning is not match fixing. Its not like Farhat or Azhar were bradmen with 100 avg.

[WithLoveFromCanada]

So much for ICC's dumbness! They didnt question Farhat's and Azhar's 30 ball duck yet they're worried about 2 overs of Pakistan's innings.

thats the logical thing geordie

i'm waiting for a real explanation of how anybody can win big against the bookie

any bookie would spot unusual betting requests - SURELY :13:

[nsaviguru]

Well if that's the case than Rahul Dravid is the biggest spot fixer in the history of cricket. Get a hold of yourself people and at least TRY to think logically before making such a baseless claim.

[Sledger]

Farhat did all his scoring the night before.

[iafzal]

Must be tough not to score for 30-40 balls. First you have to make sure you survive that many ball and second you have to make sure you do not edge anything not to mention a chance of a misfielding on which you may get runs.

Not really in their case, all their 'edges' go straight to the slip cordon since both of them have no clue where their off stumps are.

Don't think it works like that. There's no such thing as 'odds on scoring a duck in 40 balls''. If you go on betfair.com, you'll see that they mostly bet on who will make runs and at what time.

So how to get huge highs?

Play really slow in the first 10 overs, and blast off for 2 overs. The betting market moves with the people, and the people think that if this guy is playing at a SR of 20, there's no way he will make 18 runs in 2 overs. (this is what the newspaper claimed Majeed was doing and it makes sense)

Most well established gambling websites like bet365 and william hill take bets on every little thing, including the number of runs on individual deliveries, batsman's mode of dismissal and stuff like that.
