@chris-osborne fine and sunny for the next two days but we still have 200 overs at least. I think a lay at 2.34 is worth it going into tomorrow especially if England can get Braithwaite cheaply. I’d assume given the situation if England find themselves in a position to enforce the follow on they definitely have to. If that happens we could be in a good spot tomorrow if the draw is laid or England are backed.

Stumps and draw price now 2.14.
I backed a draw at 2.2, it went down to 2.04. Any idea why its back at 2.34. Surely it will be a draw now?
Depends how much play there is tomorrow - If England bowl WI out cheaply and enforce the follow on then can easily get the win.
Only two possibe results England win and Draw

back to back tests likely see draw odds on #gold

@luke-ridger got that annoying drizzly stuff here in Wigan
-
Word from my good friend who lives 5 mins from Old Trafford, very very wet. England back will make sense at evens.
-
@luke-ridger I’m out. In at 3.3 out at 2.28. Off out for the day so v pleased with a 44% return. Enjoy the day.

@richard-futter an evens lay with 200 overs + left is a great opportunity. I do think the weather eases this afternoon and can play till 7pm so would expect 30 overs or so used. Swing on offer too and a newish ball. Windies batting 200 overs to save the test...... not a chance it should be evens really.
guessing back of England makes sense in that case for the 2-3 extra ticks
-
@luke-ridger Yea I can already see the potential for making some nice green.
I think I will just stick with test matches and just follow along with this thread until I understand a bit better. Then a small stakes trial to see if I did understand
Seems like it is a good compliment to footy trading as winter/summer cycles etc. Plus the liquidity in these test matches is huge!
-
@matt-wood It'll take some time to understand, me and probably more so Richard have been trading test cricket for years. Most valuable thing you can do is observe as you are, if you can follow trades then great you'll make your monthly sub in test cricket alone.

@matt-wood It's worth considering over 5 days, there are many sub plots. Just because people are backing the draw, it wouldn't mean they think it's a draw as such. You can build equity into your book so effectively if i backed the draw at 3s with £100 and layed at 2s, i've built £100 equity i can use to further lay the draw .
Thanks. I am just observing and trying to learn a bit here really appreciate the answer.

Happy to lay the draw again at anything around evens or odds on.... the final two days look set for fair weather and there's a huge amount of time available still. Any play this afternoon would also be a bonus and I would expect the odds to drift again considerably with batting conditions likely to be difficult.
