The Ashes 2025 - Trading Insights from Bet365

November 21st 2025, 12:22pm, By: Heath Chick

England to win the Battle – But Lose the War?

The Ashes Series is just hours from getting underway and liabilities at bet365 make interesting reading with the firm finally seeing money for England.

bet365’s Steve Freeth said, “Our Ashes ante-post book which has been open since the Oval in 2023, shows the hosts maintaining their dominance at home with 88% of stakes being placed on Australia to win the series outright compared to just 10% on England."

“However, the recently opened 1st Test liabilities paint a different picture with bet365 customers believing that England can get off to a rare good start Down Under."

“Whether this is down to the Australia’s current injury problems or the curtain-raiser being played at the Optus Stadium in Perth is debatable, but 52% of stakes have been for Ben Stokes and Co to get off to a flyer.”

The correct score market points to another comfortable home showing with 22% of stakes traded on a 3-1 Australia win, 20% on 4-0 and 18% on a 5-0 drubbing for England.

However, fear not ‘Bazball’ fans, 3% of bet365’s book has the visitors winning 5-0!
