SRI v PAK Test - Draw now 2.7.
Watch out for weather though. -
OK, interesting... with the ODI (ENG W v AUS W), both Stop Losses got invoked very quickly after the Toss (which ENG won), but then noticed that the swing happened some 2 minutes after , ENG went from 2.44 to 2.36 and AUS went from 1.7 to 1.8. In the end resulting in a 5 per cent loss .
So, what happened is what i was expecting , although it happened a couple of mins later than i expected - something to ponder on, maybe its to do with the TV lag in India or something?.
So, to recap, ENG won toss and gained 8 ticks, and AUS drifted 10 ticks- exactly what i am looking for , but I had my SL set for 2 ticks on both sides, and both drifted around to invoke both SLs before the Toss info had been digested.
So, am going to extend the SL from 2 ticks to 4, and the offset from 6 to 8. That way, the SL shouldnt get invoked so quickly, and then catch the swing when it does happen.Onwards and upwards, SL and Offset both adjusted ready for BAN v AFG (20 over) at 13.00.
EDIT: BAN won the Toss and BAN went from 1.84 to 1.79 when SL kicked in
AFG went from 2.2 to 2.36 when the offset kicked in
So, a Net gain of approx 2 per cent.Clearly needs refining, but a promising opening weekend for the strategy .
If enough liquidity then a 1000 pound Lay with average gains of, say, 4 per cent would garner a 40 pounds (approx) profit before the game has even started. -
IND W offering fill ups on low lays again
no entry today unfortunatelypainful

@Stuart-Wallace well done mate. A labour of love. Glad to see it's coming together!
I need to get some software at some point to get involved. Love the concept
-
@Stuart-Wallace that's excellent!
-
I traded my pre toss lay Bot startegy yesterday for first time in anger (using tiny stakes) for both semis (BETFAIR decided not to make a market for the final til after the toss) - and made 4 per cent on Essex v Hampshire and 7 per cent on Somerset v Surrey - all before the games have even started.
Will be doing the same for BAN v AFG and ENG W v AUS W today.
Not sure how its going to pan out for ODI's , but 20 over games its perfect as there is so much swing based purely on the Toss. -
@Matt-Ayles Enjoy Matt,
I will be trading it. Maybe you could give us some info re pitch and impending weather etc
-
@Nathan-Bennett a very brief look and tomo.looks like a bit more potential for rain
Pretty fast start with 4 gone already. Plus it's likely to turn more later. Sl with only 2 seamers says enough.
Expecting a result. But the weather is is annoying me!
-
Weather appears decent in Southampton today which is a vast improvement on the forecast at the start of the week. Won't be taking my brolly!
From memory the signal at the Ageas is patchy so will say Come on England! now and catch up with you all later.
Good trading all!

Kohli is 53 not out off 148 balls and has hit 2 fours. Not quite Bazball !
Do you mean he is batting like its a Test Match? Sometimes you have to dig in and accumalate runs, sadly something Bazball never does, there is a time and a place for everything in my opinion.
As i said previously, ENG played 'pwopa' cricket for years and won bugger all, yet playing Bazball they have an totally different/impressive record. Long live Bazball !!
England have re-written the rules in terms of how Test match cricket should be played. It was long overdue imo. -

@Stuart-Wallace there are a couple of instances that could have won us the first two tests playing sensibly, the mad declaration for one!
-
yeah WI classic
lost small
eyed 1.02 for another lay which would of been ok as it doubled may of even got 1.05
anyway
onto the next -
@Stuart-Wallace Yeah. Took my first red laying India at 1.08. Really wasnt expecting the Windies to be so utterly gutless
-
Abysmal display by Windies - at home too !

@Martin said in BTC Cricket Trading Thread:
@Stuart-Wallace no need though is there, some sensible batting we could have learned a thing or two about that!
Dont agree, we lost most of our games playing 'old' Test Cricket, Allez Bazball (plus its great to watch)
