BTC Cricket Trading Thread

@matt-ayles I really wanted to try and track the lowest odds of both teams in play over the bbl.
But I couldn't be available to odds watch every game!
I did play about a bit in getting past data off Betfair but didn't get far enough to actually work out how to open it in clear readable format.
Would be very interesting and possibly give a clear odds range that a pre match lay might profitable at
If time allows at some point I'd be tempted to dig into it further
-
@stuart-wallace-0 I've considered laying both sides at 1.1, and this certainly would have landed on occasion. However what i don't know is whether that would land enough to be profitable long term. Would need researching.
IPL isn't far away.

@stuart-wallace-0 you should check out this thread
https://forum.betfairtradingcommunity.com/topic/3923/fairbot-automation-discussion
There has already been a go at automating the 1:1 i believe (although i dont really understand Cricket yet to have had a look hence starting to follow this thread)
There are a few horse racing ones there already and people have been happy to help when ive been trying to learn automation
-
Yep, lots learnt this first month and a half.
Not been easy with the tests being through the night.
I've made losses overall so far on t20s swing trading. Keep hitting low odd lays but not getting a swing back up. Plenty of overs left too but just ok the wrong games.
Think I need to try and be a bit more confident following my gut earlier in games at more around 1.4 ish lays as I've followed plenty and been 'calling' them right.
Eng in NZ will be interesting. Often good batting wickets but sure we will see some results with the current approach
-
@stuart-wallace-0 yeah my frustration comes as i had green on the draws but dropped it down to zero on low draw lays hoping for big big profit.
Anyway, another win in the BBL today helps.
-
Those 2 test draws were incredibly frustrating for me and i need to start locking in i guess.
Both of them traded nicely, and had 10 points potentially across the 2 results, but because I flipped the green from the draw to the result thinking it would increase profit, i ended up with 2 scratches.
Greed i guess.
-
Backing overs here on thunder. Got another waiting at 148. I'll start laying from 180.
Grim start. Both matched so I'll start laying 165
-
WinViz has Aussies at 57% to win the match. It needs a serious talking to
-
Amazing that if SA draw this match it will be their first draw in 47 Test matches.
-

-
Auckland have been a pretty safe unders play so far. I've had matched lays at 180 and 170

Nah. Got a wicket but was too late. Had another in at 1.01 but still couldn't get 1.06 to cover losses
Odds were low pretty early - Shame didn't get a move out at all
