What a great Ashes – we came unstuck with our 5^th Test lay of the draw – but all in all a profitable series – and we still have a bet running.

A month ago we recommended snapping up the 4/1 on Andrew Flintoff being named as 2005 Sports Personality of the Year – and this surely looks a certainty to pay out now.

If you want to go risk free on the bet – you can lay Flintoff at around 1.09 – but with the majority of major sports events now out of the way – it’s hard to see any other outcome.
