-

-
@anthony-ariss wait till this week mate when the IPL kicks off, Betfair better be on its best behaviour.
-
@nathan-bennett Yeah being new to cricket trading and seeing the amounts actually matched on a game - I thought there will be some heavily messed up when exchange went off! Terrifying!
-
Just caught SA PAK highlights farrrrrrr out madness after squared trades also forgot to have standard peanut on tie that could been sick ..., sick on top of Betfair outages recently costing me plenty
-
Shoulda waited a few more overs. Suns not going anywhere.
-
Covers off in Antigua sun shining.
Back of Pakistan at 2.16 with the great Babar set and Pak closing in on DLS. Half liability removed at 1.65. We’ve had 20 overs so if rain plays spoil sport Pakistan well ahead of the game at this stage.
Greened up now at 1.35 cracking day outside. -
1.43 squared trades in test
-
draw market crashing in WI rain ? covers still on ? ... yip covers still on . draw market silly short will drift when covers come off
-
on PAK here 1.4 favs be great for a fill
-
@anthony-ariss welcome you'll love it ... yes draws are scarce but another one possibly looms here ... personally have a lay of WI at the mo if wicket or two be tempted to lay again if batters set for a trade . dont have to much faith in bowling and pitch at mo . day 5 markets the best .
on other hand if i was a keen draw layer would lay now and again if went into 1.5 , all with the aim of trading some out at double the odds example and importantly this stage of a test for me these entry points would except loss if went against me . test trading in perfect world build green early then take your position on result if feel like it -
Missed the change of INNS lay WI still got in lay WI @2.1 ... perhaps some showers day 5
-
First time trading a test match - green'd up tonight guaranteeing £40 profit whatever the outcome.
Any more experienced cricket betters got any tips for tomorrow? Lay the draw and hope for early wickets?

Dunno what was most strange about that session. Chandimal going out to a hook shot whilst being set up for said hook shot or DDS not referring an LBW when they had 3 reviews left and have 4 number 11’s in the shed. Really poor from senior players.
-
@nathan-bennett yeah other than the occasional ball that’s kept low and occasional is a stretch the Windies could be in for some long graft today is they don’t strike regularly. Chandimal has looked good for a change and Dickwella obviously will get the RR ticking but there is also the element of SL having quite the tail so will be fascinating 1st session.
-
Intriguing test this and market . cheers @James-Woodroffe that below makes huge sense . So much cricket to go and surely two sides keen on winning . Draw market has to be rock bottom , if no wickets and a slow RR then its obviously going to trim if no wickets and a fast run rate market should stay there abouts my thinking
I've LAY draw @2.6 removing red @4.2
Also be a keen WI layer if went two's on for a 1.5 lay and 2.0 remove -
@nathan-bennett it’s not the greatest deck it’s pretty docile but is expected to take spin on days 4 and 5. Day 3 as you know is typically moving day but at the moment it’s just meandering along. No doubt SL with the best of the batting conditions so they look as tho they happy to bat the Windies out of the contest but they are still a fair way behind and the 2nd new ball will be due after drinks so the lead up to lunch could be interesting.
-
@nathan-bennett another draw?
-
Anyone have an eye on the WI SRI test .. all accounts wicket could be similar to first test
