Anybody got any advice on trying to reduce my big red which incurred by backing NZ when BAN went in to bat ?
Back the draw ? -
Need my world champs to bowl BANG out 100 lead by lunch latest
Then NZ score 350 in 90 overs
Leaving 60 to bowl BANG outScenario would keep draw price hovering around similar worst case
Definitely have my eye on BANG price tho
Could be a layer at some point -
@james-woodroffe thats excellent advice. Thank you. You know me, I always listen when offered help. Very much appreciated. Will do that.
-
@matt-ayles maybe a lay of SA if you backed the draw? Could remove some of your liability on the draw if India’s bowlers have a good day today and get them back in the test. Not the greatest SA team going around a lot of pressure on Elgar to score the runs. Just a suggestion anyway mate.
-
I think that with NZ v BAN that the draw price will come in as long as Bangladesh are batting but could quickly drift if early NZ wickets.
There’s an opportunity here I feel for a result, I’ve been mad at myself all day for laying the draw at 2.9 yesterday instead of laying NZ which was my instinct
I also cut the pre game lay of NZ early, classic case of not seeing the reality vs your original preconceptions

@matt-ayles exactly and we need to remember that even if it’s a draw as long as it presents opportunities to either remove Red or slightly improve profit it could still present something.
Yes indeed. I'm in the green guaranteed on NZ match but i moved most of the green from the draw onto the team markets after day 2 assuming Ban would be bowled out yesterday.
I'm in the green on England too, as backed the draw a few days ago given the forecast. Will see how that goes.
The one I'm currently most interested in is SA as there's rain forecast every day in Joburg but it never materialised today and that's put me in the red for this match... not going to panic and jump ship but if there's no rain tomorrow either I could be in a bad spot.

After a draw lay at the Wanderers yesterday at 3.55 I’ve greened up this morning at 6.20. Work might make trading it a little tricky but it’s a little green that adds to what I’ve made in the NZ v Bang test.
Have laid the draw in Sydney at 1.65 seemed rude not to and will monitor it today. -
Interesting reading about NZ v Ban. Personally I was thinking it must be a draw despite 2 full days left, simply as it seems to be easy to bat on... only 16 wickets in 3 days is low, and may require as many as 24 more for a result... however how many matches that are not weather impacted actually end as draws anywhere?!
-
@stuart-wallace that’s my major concern here but I do feel that with two full days of cricket there is potential for this current outlook to change. I’ll be keeping an eye on it as I’m also red at the mo.
-
@james-woodroffe I’ve just been looking into the weather abit more and have already placed a lay here. I’ll add to it if and when it comes in now.
-
@tom-david-1 firstly welcome to the forum. Secondly at 1.68 I reckon definitely worth a lay for Sydney. It’s a pretty low risk trade and rain isn’t uncommon for there this time of year and I can’t remember a washed out test. Also with Sydney it could just as easily blow away so I guess we just wait and see.
-
@tom-david-1 One of the major problems in this as i see it is that for BAN to score 400+ on a NZ wicket means that the wicket is obviously as flat as a wicthes chest, and BAN dont have the bowlers to inflict any real damage. Draw odds-on for me here.
Personally, i will be trading aggressively to get me out of my current big red. -
Have been considering laying the draw in the NZvBAN test all day today
Bangladesh have every chance of posting a 150 1st innings lead, if they could bowl NZ out by lunch on day 5 there could be time for a result.
-
Evening all, been in the forum a couple of times but seem to have a problem with subscription payments so just paid for annual pass.
Only use it for this thread really, been a busy few weeks of cricket, massive swings in the BBL this year and obviously great this time of year for test cricket.
What’s everyone’s opinions on the upcoming 4th ashes test. The draw price is now at its lowest of 1.68, the forecast is not looking great thunderstorms forecasted every day, do we think we will see enough play to get a result?
-
LAYING SA to stumps see where books at end of day

SA IND
backed DRAW @7 for a starter nothing huge
Plans to full flip and some and LAY@5’sAlso eye on if SA get to short to lay low
I'm on the draw back too. Hoping tomorrow gets the rain that certain sites are predicting but sources appear unreliable.

Definite result in this game (SA v IND) now. Weather set fair, dodgy wicket and more than 4 days left . Well done those people who got in at 3 (not me !)

Out of spite left for now3.5 be nice
