ICC World Cup - England and Wales 2019

[Archangel]

England v South Africa

SA won toss and decided to bowl first

England 1.62
SA 2.6

[Archangel]

At the innings break. England 311/8

Backed England after the early wicket fell and traded out soon after. Bit of a roller coaster when big wickets fell later.

No real idea now if the odds are right for SA to chase this score

[Emmson]

I feel SA can go well below evens here if they don't lose early wickets, but definitely not a road to bat on.

[Archangel]

Comfortable enough for England. A few opportunities in grab them at close to even today

[Archangel]

The £100m mark comfortably passed today

[Dallas]

Its really astonishing the amounts involved in Cricket even after pulling out of India.

I'm sure we'll see plenty of +£100m markets this WC, I'm just wondering how high it will go, I'd have thought £150m was a very real possibility if the right teams meet?

[Emmson]

The £100m mark comfortably passed today

In Euros £90 million in £s.........for a game that turned into a procession a very tidy sum, one of these games will break records even before we get to the final.

In Euros £90 million in £s.........

oh yeah, my bad !
Im sure we will get to £100m soon enough

[Euler]

Always been a bit perplexed at why it was cricket that has taken off but not on other sports. Really odd?

[Archangel]

West Indies v Pakistan

West Indies won the toss and chose to field
Overcast and warm in Nottingham
Big scores usually on that ground


West Indies 1.90
Pakistan 2.10

Over winter I've been working on trying to understand fair odds on Cricket so looking forward to working through the World Cup and seeing what I learn.

Yes I think understanding fair odds, and perhaps finding value out of that, is what its all about.

Its going to be a different story trading order flow due to the effect of hitting a six or taking a wicket can have

[Euler]

That's really what I am trying to answer. What is the impact at any point in the match given a certain score. I've got a ton of data and some rough models but need to put it into practice to see the reality of it.

[Archangel]

Well, that was an interesting innings

Pakistan 105 All Out !

A complete collapse...

Not much left to trade on

[Euler]

My limited knowledge of limited overs cricket tells me Windies have probably won this.
