@richard-futter surprised at the odds market usually loves us!
-
Good pitch, short boundaries straight and Roy and Bairstow opening the batting. Simply have to lay Pakistan at 1.61
-
All setup for a cracking run chase!
-
@richard-futter that’s where your insight provides the edge, I don’t have the detailed knowledge of individuals like that, I just generalized the whole team.
-
Out at 1.5... a little tortuous but not a bad little lunch-time trade
-
@simon good point, although I think these two always give their all.
-
@richard-futter I always have the feeling that this Windies team are one for the big occasion, if there’s a big crowd or something at stake, they rise to the occasion. Playing in front of a dozen people in Ireland in a tri series where they have already qualified for the final strikes me as not quite up their street
I still took 10 ticks profit out of that though so thanks
-
Iv been using this series in ireland to learn how to trade cricket and find it fascinating how the markets move. WI no boundary in 100 balls, then 2 come at once and the price goes up a fair amount on BANGLA. Is cricket underestimated as a trading sport?
Really looking forward to the world cup!
-
Pretty deadly stuff. Hopefully there'll be a few more fireworks in the World Cup.
-
Windies struggling against Bangla in Ireland, but with Hope and Holder together I expect a bit of a revival, so having a lay of Bangla at 1.34.
-
@richard-futter first team batting won! great match for trading too coming down to the last ball.
-
Anymore potential trades to look ot for in this game?
I took Richards advise on backing Mumbai when first into bat and then trading out after a couple of overs.Just been watching footie but now Man City have won i thought the cricket would be interesting to watch and maybe trade.
-
boom
-
Mumbai need a big over here
-
@richard-futter with you here
-
Pollard and Hardik Pandya now together for Mumbai; using good profits to lay CSK at 1.67 in the hope of an Indians blitz
-
does anyone know how to and if possible to look back on results in particular market graphs . example last nights ENG PAKI ODI if were to look for .., how ?

IPL FINAL PREVIEW
BY PROFESSIONAL CRICKET TRADER, RICHARD FUTTER
It’s the dream final as the IPL’s two most successful teams battle it out for supremacy at the Rhajiv Ghandi Stadium in Hyderabad on Sunday.
Chennai Super Kings and the Mumbai Indians are both three times champions, and it promises to be a tightly-contested showdown, with the vast majority of Indian ‘neutrals’ supporting CSK for one reason – MS Dhoni, Captain Cool and comfortably the most popular man on the Sub Continent.
Picking a winner is tricky. I’ll admit it: I thought CSK’s ageing team might be a busted flush. They did look more than a little frayed around the edges in the closing stages of the league programme. But the way they brushed aside an in-form Delhi Capitals side in final qualifying proved me mistaken on that front. An important lesson there: never underestimate Dhoni’s ability to inspire teammates to greatness.
Followers of form would certainly back Mumbai. They have an excellent record against the Superkings and have already beaten them comfortably three times this season. But finals are different and I will be very surprised if this turns out to be a one-sided affair.
So, instead of trying to pick a winner, I will be looking to explore one or two other trading opportunities – one of them right at the start. The average first innings score at the final venue this season is a very healthy 175, with three scores over 200. And 5 of the 7 matches there have been won by the side batting first.
Sides batting first invariably drift quite some way immediately after the toss, so that is the ideal in-point. I will be backing whoever bats first, aiming to get out after a handful of overs. Ideally, I would love to ya CSK batting first. Faf Du Plessis and Shane Watson had a scratchy start to the season but now look to be hitting form at just the right time.
My second plan, if things fall right is in the middle of the Mumbai innings. If they’ve lost early wickets and their price has drifted significantly, I’ll be looking to back them. With the Pandya brothers coming in during the second half of the innings, they’re well capable of rescuing an apparently lost cause. Hardik Pandya has scored 393 runs this season at an outstanding strike rate of 194.
And a strategy I’ve used for some time could also pay dividends. Hardik is a superb batsman but his bowling nearly always goes for runs – at a rate of more than 9 runs per over – and backing the batting side when he comes on to bowl often produces profits. I won’t be going huge on that one, as he has taken more wickets than usual this season, but if the batsmen are well set I will definitely be diving in.
It should be a hugely entertaining final. And hopefully a profitable one.

@richard-futter too easy
