As we did before the previous three Tests, let’s take a recap on the Adelaide encounter from a tipping perspective before diving into my selections from betting sites for the MCG. If you followed all six selections I made, then congratulations, as you will certainly have turned a profit.It’s fair to say Adelaide was my least successful match so far. We invested 7.5pts in total and we returned a 1.6pt profit on Australia to win at 8/15, plus a 3.85pts profit on Travis Head to be top batter for the hosts at Ashes odds of 50/13. That’s a profit of 5.45pts, so with our stake returns, it still means a profit across the match of 1.95pts. Like the Aussies, we’re still well ahead after three Tests.

We’ll see.I’ve twice felt like England would come back hard and if we were to use this column to analyse the series to date, I’d have to say they’ve had their chances but just not been good enough to take them. They are creating moments in games and sooner or later, they’re going to capitalise on one of them. With Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon gone for the series, this truly could be England’s chance.You’ll recall I tipped a 3-2 series win for Australia. I’d envisaged that they probably wouldn’t complete the job until Melbourne and that the tourists might have had a win by now and then might win a dead rubber at Sydney. Whichever way you look at it, the bet is still alive.I’m going to take a chance on…
