Tbh I put myself in a bad predictiment last night.

I took NZ on 5 @ 5 (lay 2.5 at 3.4 and 3)

Probably laying the draw tonight might have been a better shot. But I was waiting for it to go more towards 2 not sure how long that would of taken tbh. Still learning how it all moves etc.

Just trying to get liability out at moment

@simji
Did you lay the draw this morning ? Not sure of a good entry point at the moment , perhaps laying SA thinking NZ will bat at a good time in terms of how the pitch is and grab the 1st innings lead ready to skittle them 2nd INN and chase down a modest 4th INN

[Simji]

A couple of early wickets will be nice tonight

There is always talk of how these pitches get easier to bat on as they dry out for day 2-3 so I'd imagine a better price to lay the draw will definitely come

[A Former User]

@simji market is totally shocked that SA didn’t just collapse but lightning very rarely strikes twice

Could well go more than evens, will have to keep assessing

[Simji]

Looking for around 2? Or do you think it will drop more.

Yesterday early on the markets was stalling quite a bit first 12/14 over is that common?

Odds on draw lay coming up this evening?

[Simji]

When you wake up and see it the other way. Gutting not leaving the SA back in longer than switching to NZ before bed

@richard-futter get set ? timing and gees almost 4

[Nathan Bennett]

Yeah the draw lay would be a drip style lay re lay and re lay

Got some 2.50 - 2.48 DRAW LAY

SA odds on with the bat would be automatic LAY i think for a swing

[Richard Futter]

The draw price is getting lovely and low as SA pile on the runs, so could get some very tasty lay prices; anything below 2.5 would be brilliant. Only one match in ten at the Hagley Oval has ended all square, and once again the draw backers are forgetting how Test matches can change so completely as the match wears on. Gotta love 'em.

[Nathan Bennett]

If SA Bat into tmr even late tonight worst case and score around 280-300 styles
This draw could go real low

[A Former User]

So SA have managed to get through 26 overs without losing a single wicket and putting 80 runs on the board.

At 26 over mark of 1st test they were 43-4

[A Former User]

Exactly the start I hoped for

Will back NZ high odds, lay SA and the draw 3 & under

[Nathan Bennett]

Couldn’t resist 3.2 LAY SA
want 7-8’s take red out

[Nathan Bennett]

No entry yet but SA LAY tempting
Off to a flyer

After lunch perhaps

[Nathan Bennett]

SA BAT
Damn
See how play unfolds

[Nathan Bennett]

@nathan-bennett said in BTC Cricket Trading Thread:

LAY IND 1.19
And again 1.10 if happens early
Respect SRI bowling was impressed against aus
1.4 be nice

How would you proceed from this spot? Such a dominant match?

[A Former User]

1.03 lay of India is a no brainer for me at this stage. will risk the 0.3 of a point that I took out of the Ireland game.
