Intriguing test in NZ . At this rate this partnership by days end could be a winning one , how ever one wicket next 10-20 overs changes all that . Small drip lays NZ at the mo with 20-40 tick offsets for me, bigger if a wicket falls

@martin-futter and @Richard-Futter thanks for getting back to me. I found the T10 yesterday really hard to get a gauge on. The bowling was atrocious almost in the “really?” realm of atrocious. Then in the 3rd game the team chasing fell short chasing 108! I definitely need to spend more time learning when and why I’m getting into a trade in this form of cricket as I hadn’t attempted scalping until yesterday and it all seemed a bit daunting. I prefer test cricket so I’ll know soon enough if I have what it takes to scalp limited overs or if I focus on test cricket. I’ve watched and listened to the podcasts and videos on scalping T20 but T10 was a different beast. I’ll go again today and see what I can pick up. Cheers again. Re the test match in NZ I think England have put themselves in a pretty good spot and as day 3 is moving day I’ll look at laying the draw as I think the uneven bounce could make things interesting.

@james-woodroffe I think that strategy is too set and forget to work well on T10. Not enough trader input in the trade.
draw still a longshot for me, let's hope it comes in to near evens tomorrow.

I made a bit of a dogs dinner out of my first foray into this T10. Fortunately I was using the training mode on BetTrader so no damage done. However the less said the better. Would the right idea have been to simply back the team batting first and then lay them at the end of their innings and move on to the next match?
Also interested if anyone likes the 3.65 on offer to lay this NZ v Eng test match? I didn’t see a lot of play yesterday but highly tempted by those odds just a little concerned about the lack of cricket played at this ground.Need to be careful with a strategy like that. Although all matches are played at the same ground, they do use different pitches which seems to make a major difference in batting difficulty. To start with, teams batting second seemed to have a big advantage, whereas since then several teams batting first have put up huge, unassailable totals. Generally, though, the bowling has been pretty atrocious and it pays to be onside with the batting team.
Re the Test at Maunganui, I've been racking up profits laying the draw. There hasn't been a 100-run partnership in the match so far, which tells its own story.

seems great batting conditions in NZ draw could be fav by days end . laying eng could be the play as runs are scored

@richard-futter cheers for that Richard. I’ll have a look
tomorrow and see what the next 4 days bring. -
Not sure whether to lay the draw or lay England in the first ever Test Match to be played at Mount Maunganui, which starts at 10pm tonight UK time.
I'll be inclined to lay England initially as they haven't won in New Zealand in their last six matches there and are very susceptible to a collapse in that part of the world.
Laying the draw, though, might be the safer bet - especially if the price comes in substantially from the current price of 6-plus. Rain won't be a factor in this match and both attacks have more than enough penetration to account for the slightly shaky batting line-ups.

Has anyone been paying any attention to this T10 and does it appear to have benefits for trading?
Hi James; have been trading all these matches. Tend to get some big leaps in prices so have been using small stakes at big intervals to scalp quite effectively. Individual matches don't tend to offer massive profits, but with three every day it can add up to a tidy sum

@nathan-bennett mate I backed Canada this morning at 4.00 and traded out at the fall of the 3rd wicket for some green for that exact reason. I’ll consider backing Ireland in the chase now.
