Busy day but the back of SA at 2.52 pre lunch has paid dividends having greened up and built a nice base as they tear thru the Windies. Still playing the long game with the England lay from earlier this morning but great to have cricket back.

Can't believe England are still odds on!
-
@nathan-bennett i haven't managed to get a lay of England on yet. Is 1.7 or anything under still a good entry point?
-
@simji richard covered this spot on building is best in early days especially if suspect there could be some swings in the game . having targets is good at times i'll say lay ENG @1.7 pretty hard and remove 1/2 or all red @2.4 for a free roll and access from there until next entry points
many ways to do things -
@simji said in BTC Cricket Trading Thread:
On these tests as they are long. Do people take liability out every trade or do they green up every time to build a green??
I like to build up the green; when it comes to laying the draw you can often spot a good support point where the price stays in roughly the same position for a long time. If you can lay then, you can buy quite a bit of time during which, if there's a wicket or three, you can make a massive profit. Today the draw was very stable around 3.5. I managed a lay at 3.45. It's now touching 6.4, but I didn't get all of that as I took out quite a bit of liability along the way. I really like to build a solid green on day one if possible because it gives you such a good base for the rest of the match.
On the subject of laying the draw, I never leave an open position overnight. That saved me when we had the day unexpectedly washed out at Lord's.
That was an unlucky break, but sometimes the unexpected happens. Overall, the LTD strategy has made big profits for many years.
Interesting to note that the majority of matches at Edgbaston have not gone as far as the fifth day in recent years.

Good to see the back of NZ bearing fruit..... shows the value of patience.

LINE AND LENGTH
-
not sure if ENGs number 3 would make a sheffield shield team in AUS or plunket shield in NZ
-
Looking at the other Test starting today, I strongly fancy South Africa at around 2.3. Their quick attack of Nortje, Rabada and Ngidi should make life very difficult for a scratchy West Indies batting line up.
-
@james-woodroffe nothing wrong with laying odds on first inns
-
Home sweet home but already put to work. Laid England before at 1.66 @Nathan-Bennett England’s openers are painful to watch.
-
@richard-futter is this a long term trade as in for a few days or get out if a few quick wickets?
-
tough watch burns seems to have a lot of luck . some skill obviously tough competitior
1.5 will be another lay -
@richard-futter followed here and eng too short long term lay some aswell
-
Really can't believe England at 1.63. Their tail looks ridiculously long with Bracey at 7 and Wood at 8.
-
Small back of NZ at 5 - looks too high and I can't resist!
-
Loving the changes to the nz squad unknowns can be gold .. Likely observe early me
Couple things eye on if ENG dived real short well could be easy no brainer lay
Other hand if roots at the crease early ish and set could be oppourtunity there back to lay -
Tempted to back NZ at 4.3, but with so many changes to the side, I'm wary of doing that too soon. The draw looks very layable at 4.4, but I think that might get quite a bit shorter if England's stodgy openers park the bus early on.
