New to cricket. Could somebody advise me on live pictures, please?
Not essential, I don't have any myself for tonight's game Somerset v Kent.

You can follow all english cricket via on-line commentary with a small delay. A link of some kind should appear here shortly before tonight's game starts. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket but if you're not in Britain you might be geo-blocked.
Cheers. Can you reliably scalp inbetween balls in a T20 match using the text feed?

No definitely not and I wouldn't be doing that here. This is a very tough game tonight to read Somerset Kent on a used wicket.

Not trading that game tonight, still putting together a plan before I place my first trade.

I'm only interested in scalping during the pauses so that's why I figured I'd need live pics. I heard there's like 1-2 main games on per day, do Sky Sports cover both of these or is there a 2nd channel I should be looking at also?

Its a mish mash how Sky cover the Blast, the women's game formed today's double header. I don't know of them covering 2 men's games on a day unless its the finals day when they cover 3.

Cheers. I heard radio feeds (not online) can be even faster than tv pics, anyone using such feeds?

I wouldn't fancy scalping this match but I can see some potential for a few swings, with a bit more experience. I'm looking at the Betfair live (graphic) feed, seems like a good 10 seconds behind the betting.

I've dived straight into the game with a cavalier gun-ho approach (in practice mode) and I'm already £80 up. The quickest way to learn from your mistakes is to make plenty of them. :)

I've had a very nice return on Somerset Kent and I needed it because I had a disaster on the nags tonight. 3 months work on the nags down the train in 1 go LOVELY!

How did that happen? I thought you just use £20 stakes?

I was using bigger stakes, then it went in-play suddenly when I thought I had 30 seconds, then I tried to race read :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Really sorry to hear that. Just get back to what you were doing and it will soon be forgotten. :)

A chastening experience, the opportunity was there to take a fiver loss.

Well recovered. How long was that match?

I'll give my screenshots a rest for a period. 2nd best week on betfair ever despite messing up on day 5 of the test match and messing up on the nags last night.
