Morning Mr Tikay.

I have decided to add yet another ritual. I currently have the Tikay winning bet cake celebration, the poker MTT winning celebratory dance and to them I am  adding the winning money in my sleep burst of song. Not decided on a song yet but will mull it over. An excellent NFL tip there TYVM Mr Bad Beat.

It is a huge day for our 6's bet. If you read Mr Tightends post in this thread yesterday you will have seen that he alluded to a possibility of a hedge bet on the Windies today. Have you given it any thought and if so what is your plan? Will it be some ummmmm and ahhhhing or decisive action?






The thread has £20 on Australia to be top sixes team at 11-2

If they win today, that bet is basically home

They are 1 six behind WI (28 to 29), and if they win they have the final to overtake the WI, even if behind after today

So basically you have £110 profit if Australia win today


If Australia lost today, that bet is down

WI are 11/8 to win today

It is my contention that if they win the toss and bat they are an odds-on shot

http://www.oddschecker.com/cricket/international/twenty20-world-cup/australia-v-west-indies


You could put £40 of your Australia return onto the WI at 11/8 and guarantee yourself a profit

Either WI win today (+£55) (less the £20 Australia sixes stake to be conservative) or Australia win today and your sixes bet comes in (+£110-£40=£70)


The only scenario where this is not a perfect hedge is if WI score more sixes than Australia today and LOSE, and Australia do not overcome this in the final


Yes?

The 11/8 looks a very good bet regardless.  It is part of blue squares 100% book promotion and beats the betfair price.  Must be a good thing.

Please note I have a 100% losing record on blue square.

Yeah, but will you take the heat when Camel shouts at me?

I'm not exactly 100% sure on this. We only have £20 staked, & the nit in me is happy with that, but the emerging degen wants to have hector's cake & eat it.

Anyway, I've dithered all morning, so let's do it.

Feel better about that WI bet now - they won the toss and are batting first.

Camel shouldn't be irritated by you taking a price that is good value that happens to hedge the risk from a previous position.  In this case it was a price that looked good in a 100% book that beat Betfair.  It just happened to hedge a previous bet too.  ie the hedging was just the icing on the cake and not the cake itself.

It is the random closing of positions because the price has moved in our favour that should irritate him.  Though I do hesitate because the range of things that irritate camel is way wider than I have implied here.

This.

I don't mind greening out at all, but only if it's for one of two reasons:

1. You get a position purely because you think the price will shorten, not because you think it's a value bet.

2. You have a bet and now think it's gone too short. (Although in this case you really should be laying the selection for heavier than you've backed it - although psychological reasons might stop you doing this)


Greening out just to take a profit is terrible punting and pissing equity against the wall.

I have discovered recently that you can give up a bit to close a position as you pay much less commission in comparison to letting the bet run.  The effect is particularly marked on movements on short prices like  2 > 1.8

Surely if you let the bets run you'll be paying less commish in a jiffy?

Imagine that you back £100 at 2 thinking that the price will move, but it doesn't.  If you decide to green up you lose nothing and pay no commission, if you decide to let the bet run you will pay commission when it wins. So the smaller the price difference the greater the difference in commission paid between letting it run and greening.

eg on a movement of 2 >1.8 £100 bet would pay £.56 commission on greening and £2.78 letting it run

That's fin if you are having the bet purely because you think the price will move, not because you think it's a good bet at evens.
