BTC Cricket Trading Thread

@matt-ayles well done mate. Yes, Cricket trading i find very diff to Football , where you will rely more heavily on stats, whereas with Cricket its more knowledge and understanding of the game.
MY IND lay at 1.05 , i bottled out at 1.1 and took my profit - could have been more, but happy with the few extra quid it gave me. I knew Smith could hit a long ball, and traded purely on that fact.
-
So a nice little learning session there. I entered the market 3 times, backing India, and queued up an equal stakes lay somewhere between 10-15 ticks lower each time. All 3 were matched within 5-10 minutes which was good. All small stakes, max liability of 1 point etc.
Interesting piece was the mentality of ignoring the green/red numbers but treating each one as a new trade.
Eventually greened up both sides for 0.45 points which i am very pleased with when learning a new staking strategy.

Got a sneaky lay on IND at 1.05 when Smith came in
-
couldn't resist another lay when they hit 5s then, feel better now
-
just gutted to have left so much on the table, could have got in multiple times there but held off
-
No words WI
Prob win test series against ENG ha -
easy money
Just gonna let my WI lay roll now - think its terminal - and pretty quick too. -
Easy dollars so far
Some green on WI now to get it close to evens
If not all good -
Traded out for a free bet on India.
-
Lets get under 2.5 again please Windies
-
Indias game IMO, I know it's still early doors but this is a big ask for WI agaisnt this attack
-
Brooks has got himself stuck in mud here - can see him out in next couple of overs playing aggressive shot.
WI are poor at rotation - generally looking for big expansive shots, therefore if its a tougher wicket, they are more likely to get 'stuck'
-
Krishna looks impressive - first time i've seen him bowl.
2-0-2-2 so far -
thing i've noticed about todays game, is that Holder is due in at 6. Now, Holder is not a bad batter, but not good enough for 6 imo, therefore the WI tail looks fairly long.
-
@tom-david-1 Nice one Tom.
-
@stuart-wallace One thing i've just realised, as mentioned on Cricinfo, is that, although the wicket appears tricky now, the likely later dew could lead to a more batter friendly wicket. So, possibly re-look at situation circa 20/25 overs and re-evaluate.

@matt-ayles Its a feel thing for me , state of pitch, batsmen in, bowlers bowling and likely about to bowl (for example, it might be obvious, but i will always lay the batting team when i know when Rashid is about to come on - usually between overs 10-15, and then just take the green at end of spell) , howvere, generally speaking i will always lay the batting side expecting an early wicket, especially if they are chasing a total in excess of 250. I wont normally look at batting side unless they have top 4 exceptional players.
For example, in the current game, i have layed WI at 1.8 thinking that the wicket is tricky , and therefore early wickets are likely (especially given the brittleness of WI batting). Will likely look to green up circa 3.5 or maybe let run should i think that a collapse is imminent (quite regular with WI !) -
Laid West Indies 1.69
