Anyone have any thoughts, possible trades on the WI v SA test or do you tend to concentrate on one at a time?

Plus what reliable site do you guys use for weather forecasts?.They seem so variable and contradict each other!

Nathan Bennett

so much involving weather , wish that IND W collapse happened sooner but i'm willing to leave draw lay rolling see if market can be threatened and drift . books still showing some green

see what happens mens test
prob remove liab if draw 1.8-1.7 and monitor

DJ Reid

What's people's thoughts on the women's game lay the draw. Take the loss or keep in play for now and hope for wickets?

James Woodroffe

@dj-reid more as a cricket nerd mate. I reckon if it’s bleak the draw price will come in anyway but just as a fan also I reckon it’s going to be awesome if it’s not ruined by rain.

@nathan-bennett I don’t think I’m going to sleep well tonight in anticipation of tomorrow it’s going to be bloody tops. Ps England girls to rip thru India today but Raj and Harmanpreet will have a big say on that.

Is that because you think the draw price for NZ v India will come in massively?

nice hands on the caught and bowled ha
gut feel IND W will throw this game away
please ha

@richard-futter I guess it depends what weather site you check out. Met Office site Friday looking worse than Sunday but it’s the south so who knows.
All I know is I’ve packed my kindle and seriously hope we get a result. I have to agree with you I think we will get a result and I can’t wait for tomorrow I just hope the weather stays away and we get the showpiece we all want.

You're coming over to the Dark Side

@richard-futter yeah I’m on the back to lay and hoping for a result forsure
Go the kiwis

@nathan-bennett Draw at Southampton way too short in my opinion. Sunday looks the worst at the moment but that can change quickly in the south of England, and many is the time I've seen the Ageas Bowl avoid the worst of the weather. Yes, there will be interruptions I'm sure but with six days available, I feel there's an excellent chance of the match being completed. I wouldn't be laying it yet though; I prefer to wait until the day of the match. This is a real showpiece and I don't think either side will settle for sharing the trophy for six months each.

Nathan Bennett

Well ahead market on men’s final draw at mo
Rather cricket and mass swings
How’s the whole week looking @James-Woodroffe seen a few read ups sounding like plenty interruption and day 3 maybe bad poor weather may extend past reserve day aswell
Hope wrong
Then there’s darkness factor ?

James Woodroffe

Laid the draw in the women’s test yesterday at 1.39 using my bonuses and then pretty much removed all liability not long after.
As for Southampton tomorrow definitely looks the worst of the days which could be cool for a draw back followed by a lay as we still have the rain day if we lose all of tomorrow. I’m just wondering how many people out there are aware of that factor and could those who are not help really drive the draw price down.

@richard-futter brilliant love it .. disheartening potential world final looming

Richard Futter

I have to say I think the draw price at Bristol now looks very low indeed at 1.34. Much depends on the weather, I know, but according to the BBC chances of rain are below 20% for every playing hour remaining in the match and, in theory, there are still 300 overs to be bowled. I would be very surprised indeed if the draw price didn't trade significantly higher at some stage over the next 3 days. If there's a prompt start this morning it's got to be worth a shot.

As expected a big drift on India, out from 4.5 to 9 before a ball is bowled.

Made some really nice profit on this one, thanks for the advice!

Richard Futter

@dj-reid I think a lay of the draw around the current level is a good, low-risk lay as I will be surprised if it shortens too much from here, but if there are wickets or quick runs we should get a little more green.

Nathan Bennett

@dj-reid nar all good got to ask .., i'm no pro but can make a dollar ev now and then ha
no on this occasion it would of been if wicket fell would either of lay IND or back draw for a small swing
why
cause of ENG dominance top 3-4 batters

basically shut up shop myself . great shout by richard smart stuff

unsure exactly what the weather doing but maybe when IND bat could be the time to lay the draw

DJ Reid

@nathan-bennett so let the draw come in more and then lay, hoping for Eng wickets and it moves out again?

Sorry for all the questions guys. New to cricket trading.
