I've either got to learn a lot about cricket or take the cold-trading approach. :)
I'm kind of thinking the same, go back to blindly laying the draw and call it a day. Ever since I went off that strategy I've been getting roasted.

Can someone more knowledgable than me, tell me if it's being wishful (stupid) to be treating each of these games as if it will be a turnaround? :lol: :roll:

If you could jump on board that train early you would have made good coin. Problem is identifying the entry point. After the first wicket? Second? Third? This I'm yet to learn.

My experience lies with pre-off horse racing, I'm learning to trade cricket as well. I usually look to lay at a short price if there's potential for a turnaround. But I felt as weary to lay St. Lucia as I would have been to get into a fight with Rahkeem Cornwall. ;)

T20 is a v different event to trade compared to tests.

You have many different factors.

The biggest problem is that the market is pretty accurate.

The IPL starts in 10 days. That’s as accurate as in-play pricing gets.

Maybe try some of the less liquid games.

I don’t think there is another test match scheduled till Dec.

So, the CPL final will be between the unbeaten Trinbago side, (10-0) against Zouks (6-0).

The data from Betfair is 5 days delayed, so the most recent game isn't available as a graph yet.

Previous encounter :

If there is any justice, Trinbago win easily.

Thank you Megarain. I think you just saved me some beer money.

Have you tried setting your price scale to log? I find it makes it much easier to see movements when the prices get high / low.

There is a scale in the software - I just picked one that I thought was best. Sorry the prices are off the screen.

Will be interesting to see what St. Lucia Zouks turns up at the final. I take it you don't want them to win Megarain.

I am not really bothered, thou have backed TKR at 1.55 or so.(small)

No Narine for TKR, which is a big miss, but they bowl first.

U could argue TKR shud be bigger.

Rahkeem Cornwall should have a golf buggy to help him get off the pitch. :lol:

I always root for the big man, seems a gentle giant.

At half-time, or tea-break, whatever you call it, somebody just drove onto the pitch in a buggy, waving a can of beer at the camera - he could have given RC a lift. :)
