@jonathan-busch welcome
Based on two teams SPs at $2 approx
-Rarely back on wickets but when do its if plenty in shed and if if think team will win
-I try to wait till around 10th over first INNS to decide on a trade mostly side with the batting team to set up a winning score if they do usually let it ride till they're are 1.2 favs .., if they are super short like 1.3 can play it other way and lay and hedge some out and if think scores chaseable same thing stay in until 1.2 favs approx or how i feel
-Late in 2nd INNS lay bowling teams sub 1.10 is goldJust a few spots always on my radar
There can be 100's ways to earn this format / stats / strategies nothings biblical thats forsure

Hey guys
I'm just starting my trading journey and am focusing on cricket trading only.
Although I know T20 (IPL) cricket isn't the best place to learn, I'm giving it a crack (in practice mode
)I've jumped onto the BTC to try to get as much advice about cricket trading as I can. So any advice on how to approach a T20 trade would be great. These can be general or specific.
- Are people trading wickets and boundaries through the match?
- Are people waiting until late in the match when it is more certain who has the advantage and placing a simple back or lay
- Are people trading matchups ie backing a set batsmen against a weaker bowler etc and then trading out
- Is there an innings which is more preferable/profitable to trade
- Do you focus on the batting team or the bowling team or the team with the higher/lower odds?
I probably have more questions but I'll leave it there
Thanks

Re entered back end 18th over 5 points locked in 4 if we don’t get a super over.

Early out tonight at Monte Carlo so a chance for a look at IPL. Considered laying RR at 1.24 after 15 overs of DC innings but didn’t. Did however lay DC at 1.24 with RR in all sorts of bother. Reasoning being that despite that David Miller was set and can be brutal and DC had to find 4 overs from Tom Curran or as I call him the Jamie Murray of the Curran family and Marcus Stoinis. Removed liability when DC got out to 1.75 and greened up for 2 points profit when Miller went once to often.
-
DC in allsorts happy to LAY RR 1.28 still for 20 40 tick aim ... bang 75% back bet of the lay on RR now till market evens and might square book
-
free rolling a nice divi lets go PAK hit 1.4 favs #dontaskformuch...pleasing
-
despite 203 by SA 1.3 LAY in most first INNS seems a very good lay to get into position for remaining game .. annoyed itchy fingers laying to soon
-
Not always keen to be involved too soon in t20's but have a LAY SA 1.58 ... another SA LAY 1.3 hoping for 1.6 this second trade

@nathan-bennett if you get the chance mate read my blog, i give a detailed explanation of all my t20 trades. T20 is my bread and butter for cricket trading. Iv also got a sheet on my results sheet that helps me decide if im entering based on the match situation.
KKR were actually around 1.46 before the chase then a few good overs later they were down to 1.12. That price really didnt move too much until the fall of ranas wicket when they started to doddle and the wicket slowed right up. Chennai is a slow and turning pitch, we have seen that in all the games. If there isnt a settled batsmen come the last 5 there its a hard knock as we saw with both teams unable to hit consistent boundaries late on.
Id post these inplay but t20 market move all the time so makes it harder to post in time to show when value is on offer with them.
-
@nathan-bennett @James-Woodroffe is pretty hot on this
-
anyone know what market was KKK before loosing first wicket

@james-woodroffe
Cool, will watch with this in mind. Cheers! -
@keelan-kanji hi mate, sorry for the delay in responding. I’m still a work in progress mate but as a general rule I’ll back the chasing side when I feel they have the run rate under control and wickets in hand. Especially with power hitters still in the shed.
I aim for 8 to 10 an over but I’ll hold if there’s a set batsman and plenty of fire power to come. My cut off is 13. I reckon if you need 39 from 3 and are only 3-4 down most times you’ll get the job done.
Entering during the chase helps me with discipline and I like to see what the chasing side have as a target. The odds move more in favour of the batting side so that’s why I like to stick with them.I didn’t trade the IPL today cause of work but when I checked I noticed that SRH needed 11 an over from midway through their chase even though they had Pandey and Bairstow set. I like 8-10 as I mentioned and will hold till it gets over 13 but I wasn’t going to enter at 11’s.
-
Nice one!
Do you have any rules or indicators your using to back or lay in the IPL or do you go off feel/momentum?
I feel like wickets in hand is very important for posting big scores/chasing mid-big scores but could imagine betfair/the books account well for this?
Cool to read your results and good luck trading.

Nerve wracking end to that Pakistan v SA match but happy days. Backed Pakistan at 1.95 in the 9th over but Fakhar and old man Haffeez fell at one stage they got out over 4’s but had faith in Rizwan and the middle order power hitters. In the end an overthrow secured it for Pakistan with a ball to spare. Rizwan the hero again.
-
How good is IPL
6 points to start off. 3 on the match and 3 more on greening up on the tie. Backed RCB at 1.70 early in the powerplay and got out around 1.35 and then entered again at 3.65 and out at 1.90 laid the tie at 1.03 and got out at 1.30.
Happy days. -
@james-woodroffe yep their projected total was 346, then the collapse brought that down, always keep the faith
-
@darri Na I was never going to bail out of it I’ve seen enough of Hassan Ali at the death to know they were still a chance. Probably entering after 12 - 13 overs whenever it was is probably a touch to early. It was definitely under 300 at one stage late in the innings and I also saw it at +334 at some stage.
