I apologize for a simple question.
If there is no chance of rain then on day 1 of a test match why would the draw odds shorten, as I don't think they ever would ?
Surely, either wickets tumble or runs are scored and therefore the draw odds would lengthen.
They work kinda of opposite to football match odds.
Any thought's ?
Test Match Cricket
There are lots of potential reasons. Two include:
1. There could be a change in forecast for rain in subsequent days (days 2, 3, 4 or 5), so there is a potential reduction in overs for the complete test.
2. If there are a lot of runs scored on the first day, it may be an indication that the pitch may be very flat. This means it could be very hard for one team to get the 20 wickets required to force a result

Thanks for the response.
Must of had a lucky fluke on the England v South Africa match then.
I layed the draw before it started and just greened up for a nice profit.
Knew it couldn't be this easy.

Assuming the 5 day weather forecast is clear, are they likely to drift on day 1 morning session, though ?
I disagree with that. I remember losing £400 on a trade after not paying attention to weather forecasts - I looked at the scores and saw there were 3 days left, and happily layed the draw thinking the match would definitely get a conclusion. I overlooked there being a virtual monsoon for 2 days, where play was competely wiped out.
Those listening to the forecasts took me to the cleaners
Its been hard to get too enthused by the Windies series in Eng, but, they definately had a chance, to strike back on Day 3.
After Eng lost the 3rd wkt, and were like 100 behind, Eng went 2.8 or so .. a long way, from the 1.18 pre-game.
At Close, Eng are 2 runs ahead .. 3 wkts down.
Eng 1.58
Windies 4.9
Draw 6.0
I sort of feel, Eng are too low, but, they should get 200, with 7 wkts left, and that would prob be enuf.
Draw looks a lay, unless Eng bat v v slowly. I would be keen to lay sub 5.0, so maybe drip feed the lays in.

Thx.
Eng 1.65 now, which looks right.
If Root goes early this Am, things might change v quick. Stokes and Ali, maybe only 2 left, u could rely on.

Follow crunchyfrog , lay the draw and watch the weather forecast If you do that for a year and still lose money then something has gone very wrong.LeTiss wrote: ↑Sat Jul 08, 2017 7:44 amI disagree with that.

Another decent session of test ckt. Match is well poised,
And ripe for volatility.
At lunch, windies 5.0 sort of appeals, as new ball will be taken.
Am laying draw sub 5.0, and buying back, on wkts.
