Windies look mentally shot . 3 down by the evening is my guess.
-
Nonsense this batting from England . I do not think there is any reason to not be atleast 3 runs an over .
-
What the heck are England doing here?! Quick runs or get out surely.
-
gees light a factor surely declare asap ideally with 15-20 overs to go been best, oddly slow partnership.. tea soon prob . uppercut myself
-
@andrew-wooding on cue
-
@nathan-bennett i’d ike to see them get a wriggle on now though...
-
@1.5 almost said england price starting to look fat . intents great for the draw lay
-
@nathan-bennett defo mate.

@andrew-wooding always learning

Thanks all. The reassurance and collective thoughts process here is great learning.
-
Yep. I'm loving adding to my lay at under 4's.
-
joining the lay the draw party . bowlers looking good lift wickets
-
laid draw at 3.75.
ball is already moving & new ball is due -
@james-woodroffe Yea that helps loads, thanks.
Think I should do some reading and then watch how the markets move on this one. But if there is such a low chance of a draw I can see this being a way to make some good green.
Loads of punters put money on test matches, my brother included in that
-
@james-woodroffe it does thank you. Just the lack of confidence in my position which comes from experience.
-
@matt-wood hey mate they will shorten more than likely the longer England bat. Currently 4.60 if they lose quick early wickets it will blow out to (hypothetically) let’s say 7.60.
Given the incredibly low percentage of test matches that end in draws we want England to bat well today and for that draw price to shorten. With rain forecast for a bit of tomorrow it will likely shorten more. Baring in mind that they make up time lost over the course of the test match you need to have a LOT of rain and overs lost to really make the draw feasible. The West Indies have to also bat last which is never easy. Test matches can turn rapidly and there are lots of opportunities over 5 days to lock in green. Hope that makes sense. -

Morning all.
Been reading through this thread as trading cricket might be something I look into. I know nothing about the rules of cricket, will need to read a bit first, but I understand most of what is being suggested here.
Am I correct in thinking that the draw odds should increase slowly over time if England do well today, but they will increase quickly if there is a batting collapse?
-
@james-woodroffe thanks james. Glad there is consistency with others the way I’m trading this. Guess I just wanted some reinforcement that the draw isn’t Linley to actually happen!
-
@andrew-wooding hi mate. I’ve laid the draw already and expect it to shorten more so pretty happy in the knowledge that it will be red screen so I can lay again as it shortens but no rush. Obviously if England collapse we will be able to green up and look to enter the market again later as the test evolves.
