Windies choose to bowl first - think England would probably have batted anyway. Should be a good batting track, although with overhead conditions there might be a wicket or two in the first hour. Going to wait and see what transpires before any major trades.

Huge toss coming up . Unsure which way want it to be honest . Do love a first innings odds on trade lay do like to lay bowling side if partnerships and of course the draw lay #lift #excitedagain 70minutes can hurry up ha

The loss of Archer has pushed England's price out slightly and, while I think they'll win, I wouldn't want to be backing them at 1.55.
Slight drizzle means a delayed start again, but forecasters don't think we'll lose too much time, so once again the lay of the draw will almost certainly come into play.
6.6 is a little steep at the moment, but hopefully there'll be much shorter odds available when play gets underway. Anything around 5 or less would be good value I would think.

The draw backers are at work already. 8 into 6.80.

Archer out of test guys after breaking bio lock down protocols.
With Wood and Anderson rested unless one of them’s brought back in to replace Archer, Stokes and Bess only bowlers remaining from last week.
I guess Broad will be straight back in with two from Curran, Woakes and Robinson. With the batting frailties I guess it will be Curran and Woakes?

@james-woodroffe they have joe root back hence why the punters have smashed that price in
They started the last test without Root pretty much the same price mate.

@sajjo-lohar oh definitely mate. I think it’s when you feel comfortable. @Martin-Futter said the other day he was looking (correct me if I’m wrong) at under 3’s I think Richard was looking at around 4’s. I like to wait till it’s in the 2’s but I’m also quite new to test cricket. What I’ve found and does get mentioned a lot is that betters love the draw. Why who knows it’s not 1983 but they do back it continuously. One of the boys said the other day it takes a lot of rain in the U.K. to get a draw in a test over here. Or for that matter anywhere.
spot on @James-Woodroffe
@Sajjo-Lohar for me the key is take a price you are happy to lay at and scale your stake so that your liability is the same as usual, so lets say I have a liability maximum of £20 per trade, well I could in theory lay at 8.0 if I wanted to but I would use a very small lay stake around £2.85.
the mistake most people make when laying these odds is increasing their liability, so if they trade with £10 lay stakes they lay for £10 even at big odds, this will eventually crush a bankroll.

@james-woodroffe when do you recommend laying the draw? the current price of over 8 is too high to lay i think

@jpm
I was just looking at trading the draw market.
seeing the price on England, has made me think twice.
a sneaky little lay on England and see what happens I think.I get the impression that cricket betters might not be the sharpest tools in the shed which is great for us traders. It’s almost as if the general consensus is that as far as the West Indies are concerned it’s still the year 2000. Root and Broad make a difference but gee they do seem short again. If England bat first and make even a semi decent start they’ll probably shorten even more as will the draw price.

@ricky-hounsome nothing at all. Opportunity knocks...

So England lost the last test yet are odds on favourite to win this one.
what am I missing? -

@martin-futter thank, OK i will. the only thing I am asking now is every time you cash out a small profit (or loss), does it replace or overwrite the previous cashout profit/loss (because that is what happened to me) or is it supposed to just keep accumulating until the end of the test match??
we need screenshots to really see what you mean mate

No, it can't just keep accumulating as you are going back in and trading again, changing your position in the market, so it may go for you or against you in future. The cash out button will always just settle your position in the market at that current time and is always your most up to date and final position were you not to trade anymore this test.
