Back of Pakistan +299.5 at the end of the 12th.
This is not something I’ve thought much about previously with ODI’s but good deck and good start here for Pakistan. -
@martin-futter just watching live and trying to pre-empt swings, bit of scalping, trying to lock in any profit on eventual winner. Did pretty similar on the golf.
-
Second time cricket trading - and came away with decent profit.
First time golf trading too - did even better - but it seemed a little more stressful than cricket.
Probably should have greened up a bit earlier rather than hang in there for the extra profit ( which turned out ok ), but hey, I'm learning! -
Will be interesting to see how the market is set for game 3 with a fair whack of the SA side about to leave now for the IPL.
-
Wow! One of the great ODI innings by the unfortunately named Pakistan opener. Thought he was going to join Rohit Sharma in a pretty special club there. Thought for a minute he might even pull it off.
-
great deck this felt SA got to short too quick , still staying in this for PAK inns see if can get 1.75 later in match for insurance .., else all good
-
LAY SA 1.38
-
@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?
