SHANE Warne may be spin king, but Australian punters believe he'll have to come up with something special to sell his house for much over $10 million.

Sportsbet.com.au is taking bets on what the Melbourne property will fetch and has $10 million-$12 million as the favourite price bracket, with the odds at $2.60.

Selling for less than $10 million is the next closest bet at $3, while the previous favourite - more than $20 million - has dropped back from $3 odds in August to a less impressive $13.

The Brighton property, which could set a new price record in the bayside suburb if it sells for more than $15.6 million, was totally renovated by Warne and features a gym, cinema, basement garage, tennis court, and a pool with Warne's cricket number, 23, inscribed on the bottom.

Warne paid $8.55 million for the heritage listed home in 2009, which he shared with partner Simone Callaghan and their three children before the couple split in 2010.

A few months later, the mansion - decked out with privacy shields along the fence line - became the scene of a riotous media scrum when the English actress and model Liz Hurley came to stay after months of flirtation on Twitter.
