@Nathan-Bennett had a back in at 1.28.
Matched and out a touch over 100% liability. All 6 quid of it lol
-
@Gavin-Rumsey always worth a crack games not over
-
@Nathan-Bennett Funnily enough I just did exactly that
Batting wicket. If there's not an early 2 wickets a couple of good overs will see a swing.

Lankan league
Laying 1.12 BLK
See how the chase begins -
@Tony-Hastie 1st innings almost certainly - theres so much left in game that there are bound to be swings, however, would look maybe to scalp.
-
@Tony-Hastie Probably not regardless but with time left in the match there's a good chance of a partnership or wickets.
I got on too early this evening. Went in again for a lower lay and got out evens.
Sometimes teams will just collapse but more often than not they manage to make a game of it for some of the time.
I'm not ballsy enough to hang in but swings of 1.2 ish to 2.5 and over are more common than you'd think.
-
@Stuart-Wallace so youd lay a team at 1.2ish in the first innings regardless of whats going on in the match or who is favourite? 20/20s and 100s?
-
24 million pounds matched on tonights game
-
@Gavin-Rumsey think 1.2 lay in 1st innings is a very sound strategy.
Just layed Manc at 1.15 and got out at 1.28 -
@Stuart-Wallace Not any particular strategy but it's summer hols for me so looking to trade some cricket a bit.
Previously I was looking at 1.1 lays.
Currently I'm finding a bit more success laying around 1.2-1.3. Especially when it hits in the first innings. Getting out around 1.5 for about 75% liability.
Couple of missed opportunities and compounding a lost cause have me about evens. But I feel like it's easier to find the opportunities rather than focusing around 1.1.
Early days. But I like following the cricket so small stakes practising is no hardship!

Anybody using any strategies for The 100 ?
-
LANKAN T20 LEAGUE
DBA LAY 1.38 till close INNS and again 1.28
holding till power play done in the chase
taken 1/3rd stake out 1.60 DBA
keep it up colombo -
more rain is it
eyeing the lankan t20 for angles tonight
-
@Nathan-Bennett I saw them at 1.17 at one point when they were 110/4
-
How low did
IND trade lastnight anyone -
I'm not a fan of the 100.
Initially , when it was first unveiled, i was excited, thinking i was going to see the likes of Rabada bowling to Stokes, and Cummins to Buttler for example, like you see in the IPL (- instead , what you see is (looking at tonights game ) Wiese to Smeed and , in the other games VD Merwe to say, Rossington. IE B list ENG players and C list overseas players.
I dont see how this benefits English cricket for the future, other than financially. And it also takes the real,meaningful game away during the peak summer month. Wouldnt you rather be watching Ashes Cricket for example during August?.
And also, its a nightmare to trade.
So, its a no from me. Not a fan. -
@Richard-Futter I've watched the 2 games in BBC last 2 nights
Both were awesome to watch. Nice to have it not on sky!

@Martin said in BTC Cricket Trading Thread:
@Tony-Hastie if you try it let us know how you get on! Seems mad to me they bother to have a different format, T20 would be bigger if they did it with cities imo.
I'm beginning to love the Hundred format now - for watching anyway, if not trading. As we already have the T20 Blast which keeps the counties going financially, it's good to have something a bit different.
I know what you mean about cities, but we're very different from India or Australia where cities are quite far apart. If there were a Newcastle team say, absolutely nobody from Sunderland or Middlesbrough would ever dream of supporting them.
Would you support a team called Ipswich? Not a City of course, but you get the point... NO NO NO!

@Stuart-Wallace said in BTC Cricket Trading Thread:
@Tony-Hastie I tried the Lay 1.4 Strategy but found i got very few hits. But this wasnt in 100 ball games - might be worth a try.
100 ball has different nuances to the game ie. 5 ball 'sets' (not 6 ball overs), a bowler can bowl 2 'sets' consecutively, and there are other subtle changes to rules , for example, batsmen crossing when caught in the deep for example is one (the new batter has to face the next ball), but essentially , its the same game as 20 over stuff.The cross-over rule with the new batsman having to face the next ball (unless the previous player was out to the last ball of the over or 10 balls at one end in the Hundred) has applied to all forms of cricket since last October. A good rule change IMO.
