@sajjo-lohar hey mate if England were favourites to win the test when you closed after Windies innings I think that would have perhaps eaten some of your profits. The best thing I could advice is to message @Martin-Futter for some private coaching to get your head around things and number 2 and I can’t emphasise this anymore as someone else who’s trying to get back into the swing of test match trading. Make sure you don’t forget the option to lay the draw. As was mentioned today and happens all the time. Cricket betters seem to have this odd obsession with backing draws so inevitably the price tumbles. As traders we can milk this because as a general rule They Dont End In Draws. When I started test trading in October last year India were in South Africa. India would bat for 2 days make 600 (in all 3 tests they batted first) and the draw odds would plummet to 2.0 when they declared. Betters assuming it was a flat pitch. A day and a half later India are winning by an Innings. It’s the best way to learn to trade test matches build your bank learn to understand the markets. I hope this helped but I’m sure the more experienced cricket traders can help you more.

Hi guys I am sorry for asking what is probably a real amateur question , but I am confused about how to trade cricket, as this test match was the first time I have ever done it.
In the 1st innings I laid England at 1.38 because I figured their batting was a bit weak and WI might get some early wickets . At 100/5 I cashed out 1.42 profit because I thought Stokes and Buttler would make a big partnership. ( I am using very small stakes between £2 - £5) .
Then when WI was batting I backed them because I figured we would get a 1st innings lead and the cashout was now £0.86 . The previous cashout of £1.42 had disappeared.
So what I am asking is every time you cash out a profit or loss does it keep getting overwritten?? Becuase I thought it would keep accumulating ?? To build a good amount by the end of the match. Please help me ! In the end I made £3.70 as WI won. -
Just had a little lay of the Windies at 1.22 at tea. Thinking there is still a twist.

I’ve had to have a little lay of the tie obviously at 1.02. Dunno why but call it a hunch that we could be talking about this test for other reasons in years to come. Yeah it’s totally unlikely I know but
-
Call me cynical, but the umpires got so many decisions wrong in the first innings, all going against the Windies that it looks like they've decidied to address the balance by giving them the benefit of the doubt on every close call!
Even Mikey Holding was talking on air about them having to be careful about being accused of bias seeing as they are home umpires for a change

@martin-futter all the ball on drs below bail height .., i'm lost ha
-
@martin-futter oh yeah it just dropped a bit after the 2nd wicket so after the 3rd it went much tidier.

1.79 to 3.5 in no time at all. Archer had to come good sooner or later.
world class!
interesting stat no team has chased 200 since 2017 (8 attempts made)
Good stat.... but there's another - the Windies have never failed to reach a target of 200 in the last innings of a Test. According to Test Match Special anyway.
