@richard-futter
Thanks for reply Richard, i have drip layed in 2 small stakes so far at 4.5 and 4.3 and have another waiting at 4, when would you look to get out, either for a profit or loss Richard? Thanks again -

The way the draw is crashing in, I would say if it goes down to 3.5 that would be an excellent lay position. If you're new to Test match trading make sure you keep your stakes fairly low until you're much more comfortable with how markets move in this form of the game. You might need some patience, but things can suddenly change very quickly with wickets tending to fall in clumps - exactly as we saw with England when Buttler and Stokes seemed to be going so well before three wickets fell for three runs.

Drip laying the draw from 5 downwards; think the draw backers are being lulled into a false sense of security here.

@richard-futter this is my fav staragy but unfor there is not much test cricket per year
There's usually lots at this time of year in England, and plenty in SA, Aus , India later in the year. But these are obviously unusual times.

@richard-futter how many times would you say you lay the draw during a test . i normally like to lay then get my bank back at half like 100 lay @5 and 50 back @9 example and go again if suits , just a way of protecting bank etc .. any thoughts for and against this type of trading strat
I think that's a fine strategy; I hardly ever leave a trade without having an exit strategy - unless I've already bagged a massive green and can't lose. I often just scalp the draw, but always on the lay side first, and get out within a few minutes; if I'm doing a longer term trade I usually flag it up here. So overall, I'll probably lay the draw dozens of time during the average Test match, but only a handful of those would be longer terms trades when I'm convinced wickets are bound to fall.

Flip flopping favourites..... I would think they're beginning to regret the decision to leave out Stuart Broad.

Draw price beginning to crash in, even though there's still plenty there for the bowlers.

The weather looks set fair in Southampton today, and there could be some good moves today. Personally, I'd love to see West Indies survive for an extra hour or two, bring the draw price down to around 5 which would be a great lay point I reckon because there's always a collapse in their batting line-up. Going to be very interesting indeed.

@luke-ridger anderson dreadfull unlucky and england had 2 lbws over turned then anderson fin got one then there was a drop cacth looks like some sunny days ahead so hopely england can get back on track

@martin-futter best value I see at the moment is on the Eng innings total runs. They seem to be one wicket from a sub 200 disaster.

I’d be so annoyed if I laid ENG this morning, see them struggle and get such little return with the current price!
very stubborn market this one, they just expect WI collapse so much (which I understand to be fair).

I can only see Eng drifting out to 2 if they are bowled out for below 150. Tells you how much confidence the market has with WI batting.

@luke-ridger i agree if england are struggling in this condtions will west indies relly fair much better ?
