BTC Cricket Trading Thread

@kevin-gedny hi mate, the swings are quite severe sometimes so it can make trading quite emotionally charged, I often say that I’ve experienced every emotion during a game I’ve traded.
If you’ve been watching cricket for that amount of time I think you could get into a good rhythm with it.
Try to think of things a little differently, the swings are big enough that you only need to take small views on the game, the main thing I look out for is laying low prices.
If team A gets 170 runs and are trading at 1.4 how likely is it that team B will just fold without ever looking like they are going to get there and therefore pushing team A’s price out, I’m essentially looking for a time where momentum may change, this can be a certain bowler, a certain batter and a certain point in the game where they have to pick up run rate, all things that just come with time watching the shorter format.
Unfortunately there’s no set strategy in my mind that will work long term, you have to make an opinion on the price and the state of the game but that’s just me, someone else might have a different way that you might prefer.

@kevin-gedny Yep, me too, almost given up trying to trade IPL, too many swings for my liking in too short a time frame. Might be perfect for some, but find it to be a minefield.
-
@tom-david-1 Must admit, that despite watching cricket for nearly 50 years, I am struggling to come up with a consistent strategy for T20/IPL. I have tried backing bowling team during Powerplay and more often than not end up the wrong side of things.
-
Perfect game today with market not realising the pitch is difficult to bat on, RCB traded as low as 1.13 before firing out to evens
-
@nathan-bennett yeah i jumped in again at 1.10, that was the real trade in the game so nice work
todays should be a cracker, Jos is in such good form, developing a soft spot for RR
-
nice work , was betting off phone didnt see posts all good
got on the PBKS lay 1.1 squared up 1.4-5's
decent -
They got closer than I thought, market never pushed past 1.7 but happy to take profit there, unreasonable to expect Dhoni to keep pulling off these final over thrillers
-
Lovely stuff from CSK, they really are composed to keep cool in these chases
-
Higher score than I expected there but the outfield is looking a little quicker now, I think CSK could get close so i'm happy to lay at 1.4
-
Afternoon all, PBKS playing with a little more restraint today, should be set up for a nice game, maybe another Dhoni last over special is on the cards.
Same pitch as yesterday and would expect a similar score around 168 but depends how middle order play, they could push for more.
Caught a trade on 6 & 10 over line but will probably wait now until 2nd innings, how is everyone fairing with the IPL so far?
Personally I am missing international cricket but I do like the timeframe for IPL, much easier for family etc.
-
Back in the UK this afternoon, and welcomed back by the short price favs all out for what must be close to an IPL record low? Was a nice lay spot.
-
RCB gamble backed over 87.5 runs
-
8/3 WTF
Just backed them small and will again if a mini partnership develops
Want 2.2’s ishNot happening tonight so far
Sensible batting from here might get back to the 3.1 I tookThis is nuts
-
KKR @4 on small bet might bump again
wont be loloh wow lol no ball
-
@nathan-bennett it's either going 150s or 190+ with not much in-between this season. Even Wankhede now is getting back to bigger scores. Hard to get a good read.
-
@andy no LAYS wanted a fast start to chase then would of . pitch is tricky ... next trade could easliy now be a GT layer if low as 1.2-1.1's
-
@nathan-bennett my thoughts exactly. Dust it off and onto the next. Hope you got a kolkata lay on, nice start for Gujarat!
-
@andy Id place that bet over and over think only needed 10 RPO
-
@nathan-bennett not wrong on intent, just cruised. 78 after 10 and 127 at 15. Have to be targeting 180plus.
-
@andy madness yeah pitch is this and that etcetc still s**t house ha
wasn't over thrilled with hardik intent after placed my bet coasting to muchchase tbf may not be easy
might be a KKR layer if they start first 4-6 overs well and market 1.3's for a swing
