Has my lucked changed? I did the slow scroll on Flashcores last night, creeping down the match action looking for that sign of yellow. It wasn’t looking good. 1 yellow card in the first 90 mins. But then wham bam thank you mam, 3 yellows in stoppage time to land the bet. Thank you to Mark O’Haire for that winning tip.
Lucky stroke number 1. Whilst researching a bet for today’s sporting action I came to the conclusion backing Serbia +8.5 in the Women’s Olympics Quarter Final was a good option.
When I went to place the bet, it appeared the match had already started. In fact it just finished. Australia won by 18 points. Lucky stroke number 2.
So attention turned to the Hundred and this evenings clash between Trent Rockets v London Spirit. I’ve been reading the previews and the tip I’ve gone with is for Trent Rockets to score Under 6.5 runs in the first 5 balls of their innings.
Now I need to point out that this was posted by a friend of Dee. She’s duly cut the price from 1.8 – 1.72, and that seems counter productive to back it. But I just like the insight and even at slightly shorter prices I’m not sure I’m going to find a wager which appeals like this does.
Step forward New Ball maestro Daniel Worrall. At Lords last week he opened the innings with 10 dot balls on the spin. Say whaaaaaaaaattt?
Daniel Worrall bowled 10 bowls in a same spot and TKC played 10 same shots and couldn’t connect one , 10 balls Maiden 🥵🥵 Absolute Cinema pic.twitter.com/i1XrJ3fyD1

Against the Invincibles he gave up just 1 run in the first 5 deliveries. That’s hugely impressive bowling.
The Rockets openers Banton & Hales have been making some slow starts of late too. They scored 6 runs off 5 balls against the Phoenix for this bet to land.
Against the Fire last time out they managed just 3 runs off the first 5 balls. So the stats suggest this wager has every chance of landing this evening.
After yesterdays winner I’m hitting the Twist button and investing my return of 1pt into today’s selection. Please always gamble responsibly and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
Bet: Trent Rockets First 5 Balls – Under 6.5 Runs – 1pt @ 1.72
