@brian-doe That's a tremendous question but I think everyone here would agree there isn't a one fits all strategy for T20s as they're so volatile. Classic example yesterday with England who put up an above par 199 and were 1.33 in the break, which most punters would have said they'd defend easily. Yet 200 runs for 0 wickets later Pakistan walk off victorious.
I think you have to treat each match as a separate event, although I do think there's something in a lay 1.1 or lower strategy when teams are more evenly matched than the market suggests. @Nathan-Bennett is the expert on this one! I'm still figuring it out.

Hi all, wondering if anyone could tip a T20 strategy to use? My brain is a bit scrambled trying to research something relatively consistent to give a go. Thanks.

@matt-ayles spew no fill up .. pitty too late trade me but yes the NZ woman are fruits kiwi fruits never a easy win in them

Had a really frustrating time trading the windies this afternoon. Did meticulous research, was confident that Windies would lose early wickets based on their top order batting averages, and my plan was to lay NZ when Matthews came in.
Went perfectly, 3 early wickets, nice lay of NZ, but one thing that i could not predict was the Windies going along at less than 3 an over for the majority of the innings! Baffling tactics, and it meant NZ price never really drifted despite Windies not losing a wicket for 14 overs!
Any other match thats green... I exited the trade for a tiny loss when Matthews fell, and I'm happy as i executed exactly to plan, but frustrating none the less.
One thing i did pick up on though: NZ went from 1.1 to 1.2 4 times during the Windies innings... so you could have repeated that 4 times, plus a 5th during their own innings. That would have been a decent strategy.

easy late pickings laying England when PAK were 150-0 chasing 200.

@matt-ayles nice
and when 100/1 what price ausbloody time zones ha
Mate,aus after 9 over 99 for 1 & aus odds were 1.93.
At start of 2nd inn ind ' odd were 1.23 -
Eng W chasing a world record here. Price for India only 1.1 as it stands but on run rates if England managed a 100 partnership for the next wicket or the one after the price could become attractive. Worth following...
Amazing how the ball after i post this is a wicket.

Cricket T20 World Cup starts a month tomorrow.
Anybody planning to trade? Any strategies ?
It seems that most games are 4.00 and 8am start UK time.Does that mean that 8am games are D-N ? ..Nathan ?
I am planning/hoping to take a couple of months off (prob wont happen ) to watch and trade both Cricket and Football Worlds cups , and go to Spain to do so. Then again, i doubt my boss will agree to that !!
-
@matt-ayles Must admit, with Englands new approach, i have raised my entry price barrier for LTD to 5.5 from 4.5, i came unstuck in 2nd test with backing draw thinking rain was coming which never came. Did the same in the 3rd , but exiting from Back on evening of day 2 after HM death came thru thinking it couldnt go any lower and then laying large at 1.44 thinking i might make a few quid if ENG take a couple of extra wickets, but they just kept on coming and i just rode that wave .

anyone watching this bush league euro championship t10 ha
boundarys are kids sizes

IRE 1.11 to 1.36 comedy -
@stuart-wallace not really mate. First 2 tests i wanted lower odds to lay the draw which never came, ended up laying the sides who completely dominated.
Then the 3rd test was an absolute gift but i was so deep in the red with far too big a stake so the second i could get my stake out i did it but then was in no position to capitalise on the result.
-
@matt-ayles you not make any green from ENG v SA ?
-
LAY central punjab 1.23 till end of INNS
Whoops loss likely here and a weak total looms -
national t20 cup game just kicked off
i'll try post anything invest in
hopefully winning trades -
pretty much got home saw USA bossing the game going along at 4 an over with 4 req
saw 1.07 thought that will do me
only takes one wicket few dot balls and bang stake out 1.14
drip back some more out 1.3 then from there monitored could tell the rate might go up and if another wicket could be right in for a fill up so heldsomething

I took that match off my list as I've been struggling with discipline and overtrading/overstaking. So I've forced myself to be very selective, only trading "top class" matches for the time being. All I have on the plan for this week is the England W v India W series.
Decided if I can't name at least a couple of players I really shouldn't be trading it. Doesn't mean I can't learn them, but I had to do something to stop the rot.
