Hi guys I am sorry for asking what is probably a real amateur question , but I am confused about how to trade cricket, as this test match was the first time I have ever done it.
In the 1st innings I laid England at 1.38 because I figured their batting was a bit weak and WI might get some early wickets . At 100/5 I cashed out 1.42 profit because I thought Stokes and Buttler would make a big partnership. ( I am using very small stakes between £2 - £5) .
Then when WI was batting I backed them because I figured we would get a 1st innings lead and the cashout was now £0.86 . The previous cashout of £1.42 had disappeared.
So what I am asking is every time you cash out a profit or loss does it keep getting overwritten?? Becuase I thought it would keep accumulating ?? To build a good amount by the end of the match. Please help me ! In the end I made £3.70 as WI won. -
Just had a little lay of the Windies at 1.22 at tea. Thinking there is still a twist.

I’ve had to have a little lay of the tie obviously at 1.02. Dunno why but call it a hunch that we could be talking about this test for other reasons in years to come. Yeah it’s totally unlikely I know but
-
Call me cynical, but the umpires got so many decisions wrong in the first innings, all going against the Windies that it looks like they've decidied to address the balance by giving them the benefit of the doubt on every close call!
Even Mikey Holding was talking on air about them having to be careful about being accused of bias seeing as they are home umpires for a change

@martin-futter all the ball on drs below bail height .., i'm lost ha

@martin-futter oh yeah it just dropped a bit after the 2nd wicket so after the 3rd it went much tidier.

1.79 to 3.5 in no time at all. Archer had to come good sooner or later.
world class!
interesting stat no team has chased 200 since 2017 (8 attempts made)
Good stat.... but there's another - the Windies have never failed to reach a target of 200 in the last innings of a Test. According to Test Match Special anyway.

Having a little lay of WI at 1.79 here - just feel it could be much tougher than it looks for the side batting last.
dripping out already moving out with no wicket!

@richard-futter I don’t think England are close to being out of this test.

I'm not usually able to watch a test match in England from start to finish and never traded cricket. Been following this one closely. Lockdown does have some advantages
Seeing the approach in here as well as watching the odds to see how they reacted to each key event have been an eye opener. Thanks for everyone who has been posting.
