@james-woodroffe I think that strategy is too set and forget to work well on T10. Not enough trader input in the trade.
draw still a longshot for me, let's hope it comes in to near evens tomorrow.

I made a bit of a dogs dinner out of my first foray into this T10. Fortunately I was using the training mode on BetTrader so no damage done. However the less said the better. Would the right idea have been to simply back the team batting first and then lay them at the end of their innings and move on to the next match?
Also interested if anyone likes the 3.65 on offer to lay this NZ v Eng test match? I didn’t see a lot of play yesterday but highly tempted by those odds just a little concerned about the lack of cricket played at this ground.Need to be careful with a strategy like that. Although all matches are played at the same ground, they do use different pitches which seems to make a major difference in batting difficulty. To start with, teams batting second seemed to have a big advantage, whereas since then several teams batting first have put up huge, unassailable totals. Generally, though, the bowling has been pretty atrocious and it pays to be onside with the batting team.
Re the Test at Maunganui, I've been racking up profits laying the draw. There hasn't been a 100-run partnership in the match so far, which tells its own story.

seems great batting conditions in NZ draw could be fav by days end . laying eng could be the play as runs are scored

@richard-futter cheers for that Richard. I’ll have a look
tomorrow and see what the next 4 days bring. -
Not sure whether to lay the draw or lay England in the first ever Test Match to be played at Mount Maunganui, which starts at 10pm tonight UK time.
I'll be inclined to lay England initially as they haven't won in New Zealand in their last six matches there and are very susceptible to a collapse in that part of the world.
Laying the draw, though, might be the safer bet - especially if the price comes in substantially from the current price of 6-plus. Rain won't be a factor in this match and both attacks have more than enough penetration to account for the slightly shaky batting line-ups.

Hi James; have been trading all these matches. Tend to get some big leaps in prices so have been using small stakes at big intervals to scalp quite effectively. Individual matches don't tend to offer massive profits, but with three every day it can add up to a tidy sum

@nathan-bennett mate I backed Canada this morning at 4.00 and traded out at the fall of the 3rd wicket for some green for that exact reason. I’ll consider backing Ireland in the chase now.

How often t20 teams in commanding position first innings batting come the death overs just throw wickets away #tradingpearl

India are currently trading at 1.44 to win the final Test against South Africa, starting in Ranchi tomorrow. It's hard to argue with those odds in view of their total supremacy in the series so far.
The draw is priced at 4.3 which looks very layable on a pitch which is expected to take plenty of spin as the match progresses. I wouldn't want to get involved pre-match though, before seeing what conditions are like in the morning.
Once again forecasters say there's a chance of rain on all five days, but then they said that in the first Two Tests and so far only one session has been lost.
My initial trade will come immediately after the toss, which is around 4.30 am for us early risers. Batting first will once again be a huge advantage so I would expect whoever wins the toss to aim to build a big first innings score . Their price will surely shorten.
Great shout there
