@sajjo-lohar brilliant mate thanks so much.

Hi Guys , Im sorry in advance for this post which might be kinda long and boring. In terms of strategies, I am completely new to cricket trading so I am learning from your experiences.
But I am quite knowledgeable about the CPL as its our tournament . I have followed our regional cricket for the last 20 years and I know these players well, having played with and against some of them also .
It is known to be the biggest party in sport but unfortunately this year is quite different as all matches are played in Trinidad with no cheering fans. The matches in Tarouba, not far from my village are not generally very high scoring because there is help for bowlers but its also even paced. Matches in Queens Park Oval are higher scoring but that pitch helps spinners more.Trinbago Knightriders will be favourites as they know local conditions better. Also their squad has big names such as Dwayne Bravo, Kieran Pollard, Sunil Narine, Lendl Simmons and a few other decent spinners. They have also won the most times (3) and start off slow but always peak in knockout matches.
Barbados Tridents are the current champions. They also have key players such as spinners Rashid Khan, and a few decent all-rounders. And many flexible players who can chip in when needed, such as Holder, Ashley Nurse, Shai Hope.
Guyana Amazon Warriors have been very consistent over the years they have been runners up 5 times but never won. Last year they won 11 matches unbeaten to the final, but lost in the final . Guyana pitch is the most spin friendly in the world and their batsmen (think of Chanderpaul, Sarwan, Hooper, etc) are also excellent players of spin , but this tactic wont work this year as no matches are in Guyana. Their squad is not that strong but they always punch above their weight a bit like NZ in world cups. Look out for Pooran, Hetmyer, and Imran Tahir.
Jamaica Tallawahs was in some disarray with the recent problems between Chris Gayle and Ramnaresh Sarwan , and they also lost Marlon Samuels. However they have the worlds best T20 player in Andre Russel. The captain Rovman Powell is decent so is Carlos. They also got dangerous spinners in Mujeeb, Permaul and Lamichanne. Very strong bowling squad, but batting a bit weak.
St Kitts Nevis Patriots were supposed to have Gayle but he dropped out so its a big loss, same with Fabian Allen, but they can still surprise. Main players will be Evin Lewis, Chris Lynn especially if they open together, Denesh Ramdin still the best wicket keeper in the region , and Sheldon Cotterall.
St Lucia Zouks are led by Daren Sammy who is very experienced and popular, He manages to get the most out of his players. Overall probably the weakest squad ( and historically have the worst record) but main players will be Chase, Rakeem Cornwall, Andre Fletcher and Mohammad Nabi .
Generally the teams with more quality batsmen (not hitters , because all West Indian players are big hitters) and better spinners go far. Pace bowlers dont do much here. CPL is all about 6s and quality spin . But as said before this year will be unique because of the Covid conditions sp anything can happen really. Sorry again for this very long post but I hope this can probably give some help in case anybody wanted info about players they didnt know too well .

@nathan-bennett good advice thx mate

Any thoughts towards the next test with the current draw price? Seems like rain is a possibility, which I assume is already priced in?

@andrew-wooding not something I've often applied its more of a statistical thing if your happy to let this strat run throughout and entire game and or not watching and just want to gamble .. I like to be aggresive when enter and look to get my red out as fast as possible and assess . often games start with teams $2 a piece there's many different ways to double your money in a game of t20 the times I've done my dough often is when trading from the off so i tend to hold to wait for scenario i like ... you'll learn a lot just from market observation aswell .. im sure others have ways of doing things never a science to it just experience of losing and winning a sussing what works for you
-
@nathan-bennett amazing thx Nath. Dies the binary ‘lay both teams at 1.4-1.5’thing actually work consistently? Or as I suspect is it a lot more nuanced than that?
-
Couple strats/angles worked well for me at times t20 pending what talent is at the crease and or bowling
First innings after 8-10 overs run rate fair and batting team only 2-3 down and 1.8+ back till end of innings and or 40-50 ticks
Second innings chasing huge scores back batting team look to reduce liability if off to a flyer during powerplay and assess trades
Market odds yes laying low 1.2 even 1.1 can provide dividends late in games doesn't take much to double market odds in this format -
@martin-futter Fantastic, thx Martin

@sajjo-lohar yea I was looking at doing something on this. I know T20 is a crazy place to try and trade. I was contemplating stealing ticks after a wicket goes down. Back the batting team straight away to catch the overreaction. Any thoughts?
It can be a goldmine, this article should help, I know @Richard-Futter is trading it hoping for some nice low odd lays! https://betfairtradingcommunity.com/en/blog/7-steps-master-cricket-scalping-trading-betfair

CPL IS starting tomorrow. Anybody trading the T20 stuff, and got any helpful tips ? I saw the tactic in the strategies section about laying 2 closely matched teams at 1.4 each . And all these squads ( besides St Lucia Zouks) look very evenly matched.

Is there any point of playing today?... Just cancel it.
There is. Hoping for another 15 overs so the Eng 1st Innings Runs market pays out.
