BTC Cricket Trading Thread

@babar-malik Hi Babar, I’m still very much learning this as I go along but I do love cricket so that’s helping me.
For T20 trading I have pretty much adopted @Richard-Futter’s strategy that you can find here on the BTC website which I highly recommend. I look to back the batting side from roughly the 3rd-4th over and build green and remove liability as I go.
In the last 10 overs of a run chase (sometimes a few less) if the chasing side has a set batsman at the crease with power hitters still to come and the run rate under control I’ll back the chasing team and get out ideally around the 18th over once the chasing side hits around 1.10.
As Richard points out sometimes the first innings backing of the batting side can go against you so use smaller stakes such is the frenetic pace of T20’s, games can change pretty quickly.
If the team batting first scores heavily 180+ I’ll let the trade run for the first couple of overs of the chase in case they pick up a couple of quick wickets in case the chasing side never gets going.
I hope that helps you welcome to BTC and definitely check out the other strategies on the BTC website you’ll find others that may suit you better. -
@james-woodroffe Hi James! I joined BTC a couple of days ago. I have been mainly involved in football trading but I am more interested in cricket. I will greatly appreciate if you can provide some in play trading strategies or tips as you seem to be an experienced cricket trader. Thanks

Semi final tonight on BT ESPN of the Super 50 in Antigua. Jamaica are a serious underdog against Trinidad and Tobago but as I type making a good fist of batting first and giving their spinners something to bowl at. If they can get around 260-270 they’ll be right in the match and obviously boyed by their effort against Barbados. Trinidad obviously the stronger side but in a knock out who knows. Jamaica do need to bat well tho.

So a funny thing happened today, I stuck to strategies in T20 that have worked well in the past and didn’t go off script. 5 points green to cut into yesterday’s debacle so much happier.
Would be a lot happier if I didn’t get out of my India back this morning so early but you never know what day 2 could bring Red not concerning in any way at the moment. -
1.11 for me.
-
Following Richard here I'm in @1.12
-
Just a thought, but there's now every chance England will be bowling as the light fades and that can be the best time for the seamers. A very low risk lay of India around 1.1 might not be the worst trade in the world.
-
ENG price is stupid Lay and again if got to 4's #inwhatlife ... should add looking for double so 18's be nice
-
I love Jofra, but you have to say it would be amazing if he were still there in an hour's time.

Well I think its safe to say I might have got out of my India back at 1.82 just a touch early today.
-
This is not looking good, especially as England have the longest tail they've had for as long as I can remember.
-
@richard-futter couldn't agree more re Bairstow. I would like to see Stokes stand up today against Ashwin and stop being bullied around.

@richard-futter great shout re early wickets mate.
Sibley a walking wicket at the moment and no surprise about Bairstow; he's had a break and he's no Number Three at top level in my opinion. Shame about Root though. A real danger this could get very one sided.
-
@richard-futter might back it at 500's when India bat tmr ha .. Root kinda funny missed it knew he was out still reviews comedy
-
Well, that's the draw price gone for a Burton
-
BOLD
Lay India might get 2's -
@richard-futter great shout re early wickets mate.

Big toss ENG
This great for SPs and potential swings
Love a pre match scalp India could get 1.85
