I think we're one place too high.. We should've been at 9/2 and SA should've been at 4/1..and wonder why Pak is rated that low in this format ? - Younis Khan's exclusion makes that big a difference in an otherwise mostly unchanged/improved WC winning squad ??

True, but they are the standard setters in this format, I would put them as join favourites because they have something which is priceless in thie format of the game, an economic bowling attack. If Razzaq is the weak spot with his bowling it doesn't show cause everyone struggles to get him away and the others, well each and every one of them is incredibly economical. Afridi, Ajmal and especially Gul are so tight in this format that even destructive hitters will find it difficult against them as they did the first two tournaments.

[saneindian]

Amongst the current top 8 sides, Aussies have the worst "AWAY" record in t20 internationals. Played 19, won 5, lost 12!! In fact post the 2007 t20 WC

[patriot]

I would put my money on West Indies !

india... no way australia..

[Gunner_Mania]

I wouldn't put Australia as firm favourites. Look at the WI-Zim T20s earlier this ways. Zimbabwe beat WI. My gut feeling is part time bowlers and spinners will have much more effect in this World cup then out and fast bowlers that he Aussies have.

Bangladesh 8th? Where the hell is England? And India 2nd:hysterical:

Sure man..former World Champs India, are not NO.1 in T20's like they are in tests. But I see that the pathetic excuse of a cricket playing country that Bangladesh is , is BY FAR the worse even in T20. Even worse than Kenya. As usual top of the ( when inverted) table . :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: http://stats.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/index.html?class=3;filter=advanced;orderby=win_loss_ratio;team=1;team=2;team=25;team=26;team=3;team=4;team=5;team=6;team=7;team=8;team=9;template=results;type=team Seriously, Bangladesh must give up the game. :haha::haha::haha:

500 to 1 ... Afghanistan looks tempting.

[The Outsider]

I just might put $50 each on Sri Lanka, Pakistan, NZ, and WI.

Not surprising at all. They were my favorites to win this edition of the tournament as well. But this format is so fickle, its impossible to predict ANYTHING.

[vvvslaxman]

Australia and SA are customary favorites regardless who could possibly win. This is absolutely a lottery game. Not just the game. But which group you play will also decide your fate.

How do these betting odds work? Can someone explain please.

How do these betting odds work? Can someone explain please.

In fraction format, its [potential profit]/[amount staked] For example, for Australia with odds of 7/2 , if you stake 2 dollars, you get profit of 7 dollars back if they win. So if you bet $10 on Australia winning then you profit would be $10 x (7/2)= $35 2) India 4/1 , if you put 1 dollar, you get 4 dollars back in profit Or you may want to convert the odds into decimal format then change 7/2 to decimal ---> 3.5 for Australia winning, Now you basically multiply the amount you staked with 3.5. For example, you bet 10$, then you get back $35 profit. Hope that makes sense

[panesarv]

Makes perfect sense now Ludhi. Thanks a lot :) Good job of explaining :)
