Tips for Tikay

[TightEnd]

Controversial! the hand was off the bat when it hit.

[MereNovice]

Shocking decision on that last review.

[tikay]

Relax, plenty in the pitch.

Better that way than a very flat one, SA need to take 20 wickets!.

OK, I'm relaxing. I trust you completely.

54-4, Amla & Petersen both gone?

WHAT?

[horseplayer]

i thought it was a superb decision

good stuff from england this morning a lot of the media seemed to forget we are actually pretty good

[TightEnd]

Third umpire should not be making mistakes like that

England are good yes, and have bowled well in helpful conditions. lets see what happens when they bat. Should be a good close game

[Doobs]

Interestingly the SA odds haven't changed much.  Now 3.35 or so from 2.9 or so.  Obviously ignores the fact we flip good, but at least we didn't back the draw.

[TightEnd]

The point is that if SA are 60-4 on this, so can England be. All depends on the overhead conditions when England bat vs Steyn, Philander and Morkel. Philander's type of wicket

Weather permitting, it obviously can't be a draw, the pitch is offering too much

of course they shouldnt

i would argue south africa have had a few moments (to smaller degrees ) of luck in the series so far

all green now so can cheer on the fred bet

As Sir Geoffrey of Boycott would say, you don't know what a good score is on a pitch until both sides have batted on it.

Buffet bowling, I could have hit that with a stick of rhubarb, corridor of uncertainty etc

Portsmouth looking to sign 10 players before Saturday's match.

I know you are (were?) on England, & you say you have greened out.

I may be the only one who struggles with this stuff, but I doubt it. Anyway, assume there are other people here who want to learn, too.

Explain what you did EXACTLY. Don't have to tell us the real numbers, just examples would do fine.

You backed England on Betty for £xx at (?), then you....

ok no problem tikay

in its simplest form make sure you have "what if" ticked in display options

(go to more options make sure "display what if figure" is ticked, also make sure p+l net of commision is ticked)

this allows you to see what your overall figure will be without even placing the said bet

for example on this match

i backed england at 4.1 for £200 (match position england + £589.62, draw - £200 s africa - £200 )

england went to a low of 2.14 i "greened out" at 2.22 for a lay of £333 on england.

This leaves the following screen

England
» £203.27

South Africa
» £126.48

The Draw
» £126.48

bear in mind i am far from an expert on having a green screen i only trade sports bets

with racing which is my serious side i very very rarely lay off
